free-will-offering yet not boastingly but so as that the world may judge whether this term of vagabond will hold good concerning me the sum of money my Mother left me I freely gave for the Armies use and I wrought many nights hard to get mony the which I chearfully bestowed not on my own back nor belly chear but fared hard that so I might minister towards the relief of the Nation and if that little means which I have left had been in mony I could not have kept it from you Oh Army and Rulers that then would not have defamed me I pray why are you so unchristian like in your carriages to me now you have taxes from me still and am I a vagabond for this Ask your Lawyers will they not say you were much to blame herein Let all that knew me speak when they saw or knew me a vagabond After the time was over of my keeping house I was desired by Mrs. Spenser a Ministers Widow to abide with her and her daughters who were sober holy humble walkers with God and not of a frothy wanton light giddie carriage and deportment as many Professors in those dayes appeared in I lived among these taking up my abode with Mrs. Harlow daughter to the aforementioned Mrs. Spenser who lived near her Mother in the Minneries She her maid and I lived together a while and they are my witnesses whether I was then idle and others beside them can witnesse for me I kept close to the Word and fasting and Prayer and so observing times for civill imployment was I a vagabond then Then I was desired by Mrs. Wythe my kinswoman a Merchants wife in Fau-Church-street to live with her with whom I lived six years could I be a vagabond there They shall be my judges in this I lived with them in City and Country till Rulers were displeased at a dispensation above their understanding and therefore gave out threatning speeches that my Relation and friend where I lived was afraid to receive me for losing his Place And now I have related my places of abode from my Childhood untill the 11. month 1653. all which time I suppose no rationall man will say I was a vagabond And as for the time since as soon as I was rejected of my kinsman for the Rulers sake many friends would have let me into their houses which are very grave godly consciencious wise sober persons that are unwilling to intertain vagabonds but to this day I have a settled habitation and pay assessments therefore stand convinced from this day and hereafter all you Rulers Clergie and People in all Places and Countries that I Anna Trapnell am no vagabond nor Runagate Person though I have and may sometimes live in the City and sometimes in the Country as your selves do and why should I be accounted a vagabond more then you Let me yet further bid defiance to those that have called me Whore which language hath proceeded from Court I hear so and will any that have said so stand to their words without blushing Truly I would try them were there any Law up save the wils of men you may peradventure say this savours of revenge I answer It doth not for Solomon saith The Name of the righteous is as a precious Ointment and therefore dead flyes are to be cast out which would putrifie it and it s to be carefully preserved because costly and precious for use so that if it be putrified it s not of use so Christs flock are for his use and he keepeth them that nothing can putrifie them in that new-born State they are in yet as to that usefulnesse for the benefit of Saints and sinners herein they may be hindered through the dead flies stinking-sent brought on their Names that all people may have no knowledge of And as to this Charge being I do not suffer as an evill doer I will triumph and give glory to the Lord my God who hath kept me from open prophanenesse and from secret sins and in a great measure hath freed me from my iniquity which is the sin of my disposition which doth not run out nor incline to lustfulnesse neither of the flesh nor eye nor pride of life but my iniquity is passion apt to be hastie it s more within than appears without this I speak to my shame and the advancement of free grace not so prompt any or my self to boast of sinfull infirmities though God heals my backslidings and loves me freely I will not sin that grace may abound but I will confesse my sins to him who is just and faithfull to forgive and he that covers his sin cannot prosper it 's written he that saith he hath no sin is a lyar yet I can say they are lyars that have thus reported of me as I have penned down and having this boldnesse which is not of a carnall form I may look my enemies in the face with chearfulnesse and yet with sobriety and so I can through mercy and Divine goodnesse and oh that all my Adversaries would take the pains as David did to finde out their iniquity which dogs them at the heels so that they may cry against it and be humbled before the Lord I would fain be conformable to the death and resurrection of Christ though I fall short indeed I do I am not unwilling to confesse it yet oh yet I can with a face unvailed contend with my adversaries whether they be men or devils and bid defiance to them for Christs sake As for me truly I am not worth mentioning nor regarding by any none can sure think viler of me than I think of my self yet I blesse the Lord and my Father as unto mens reports I am not guilty nor a transgressor in their sense for the which I praise Jehovah and still I will advance him who is my All in All. I have a further word with the Cornwell Jurors who say they are for the Lord protector of the Commonwealth of England Scotland and Ireland c. and upon their Oaths present Anna Trapnell to be a dangerous seditious Person not onely say they imagining but devising and maliciously intending the peace tranquillity and felicity of the good people of this Commonwealth of England to disturb but say they to move stir up and raise discord rebellion and insurrection among the good People of England as aforesaid this they affirmed upon oath in their Indictment all which I bid defiance to as false likewise those sayings of theirs which were that I would cause authorities just and righteous Actions to be brought into contempt disgrace and hated with the good People calling me one of a devillish minde and wicked imaginations and saying I uttered with a loud voice malicious scandalous horrible and seditious words in the hearing of diverse people Can you tell what you say Oh Jurors when you say you are for the Lord Protector I am sure you do not mean the great Lord Protector of heaven and earth sea and
