giuen I shall be forced in the name of the great and fearefull God of heauen to protest against it my desire is that you haste vp so soone as you can your charges shall be borne by mee And some what after thus If his most holy Spirit direct you to come come If not stay but write with speede and conuey your letter and inclose it in a letter to him who brought you and mee acquainted vz. Wigginton put not your name to it for discouery direct your letter thus To my louing brother in the Lord giue these my letters I put to no name but the matter you know which sufficeth Pray that the Lord may reigne and that his subiects may obey that all instruments whatsoeuer that shall be vsed may bee furnished with such giftes and graces as euery one haue or shall haue neede of that it may appeare that the action now in hand is his owne and therefore he will prouide safety for his holy ones and destruction for those who are vessels of wrath who haue accomplished the number of their sinnes which call for vengeance from heauen These letters Hacket caried to Pamplin scholemaster of Oundell to be read vnto him for that himself could neither write nor reade but I haue not yet heard that he complained thereof to any in authoritie When Arthington also about the midst of Trinitie terme last was returned to London Coppinger hearing therof came to his lodging and then with many words extolled and magnified Hacket vnto him for the holiestman that euer was Christ only excepted one that trauailed together with him for the good of the Queene the land but after an extraordinary maner and not both by one meanes And albeit Arthington as now he saith desired them to keepe their secrets to themselues and not to trouble him with them who had other businesse to attend yet Coppinger importuned him so as hee coulde not auoyde but yeelde to heare Hacket pray before them as a man of a singular spirit albeit vtterly vnlearned of the booke The first prayer of his that Arthington heard was about foure or fiue weekes before their apprehension All which prayers conceiued by Hacket euen since his apprehension the sayde Arthington praysed to be so diuine sweete and heauenly that thereby he was drawen into a great admiration of him In all the praiers that Hacket made in his presence Arthington obserued this difference from other mens that he vsually therein desired the Lord to confounde him if he did not seeke onely his honour and glorie in all things which Arthington marking from time to time in him and seeing him still to be so perfitly sound and very wel was thereby drawen together with Coppingers wordes and experience of him to recken and esteeme of him as of a most holy man This lesson of wishing themselues confounded his sayde two schollers by imitation did so perfitly learne of him that to the great astonishment and horror of such that afterward examined them they vsed this execration wishing themselues confounded and damned if they said not the trueth in euery matter whereof they made any asseueration and wherein they desired to be credited thinking as Arthington confesseth that whatsoeuer the spirit as he fansied tolde him was a trueth he was bound to binde it vpon his saluation or damnation These being ioyned with the relation of certaine extreme torments which Hacket had signified vnto them that he suffred not onely outwardly by the instigation of certaine noble and worshipfull persons as he vntruely made them beleeue but more grieuously a great deale hee sayde by suffering whatsoeuer either Deuils in hell Sorcerers or Witches in earth could practise against him all which he pretended to haue endured for triall and proofe that the Gospell was the true Religion against Poperie and all other sects did so deepely astonish or rather infatuate them that after great fasting and prayer vsed which fasting they vsually performed on the Sabboth dayes they all did resolutely conclude that if Hacket indured in trueth all these torments and practises against him for so holy an ende no doubt hee was a man which shoulde not onely establish the Gospell in all kingdomes but all Kings and Princes should also yeelde their scepters vnto him and hee shoulde bee established chiefe king ouer all Europe Reasoning thus with themselues that surely the Lord had some great good to be done by him that had indured so much for his sake Nowe this was the opinion which to haue firmely planted in them two as in deede it was first in Coppinger and afterward in Arthington was the mayne scope and drift as may seeme of all Hackets cunning counterfaiting of so much holinesse pietie zeale and religion To worke this he handled his actions so warily with them that Coppinger seriously once auouched vnto Arthington how himselfe had by good experience found that God would denie vnto Hacket nothing which he prayed for or desired and namely protested that Hacket begged of God in a drought that was not long afore their apprehension a showre of rayne and that it was presently sent in good aboundance Coppinger also so firmely beleeued Hacket that he tolde his owne man Emerson how Hacket being imprisoned the boltes would often fall off his heeles miraculously But for proofe that such incredible torments were in deede susfered by Hacket he appealed herein to some of the Nobilitie and to diuers others both of worshippe and good credite This did Coppinger further confirme vnto Arthington saying that Master Wigginton also did iustifie the trueth of the torments that Hacket suffered and could doe it with a hundred honest witnesses moe if neede required And Arthington himselfe also once heard Wigginton pitifully tell how great and extreme torments Hacket had indured But being asked by them why hee was so tormented and how these could tend to proue the Gospel to be the onely true religion Hacket answered them thus that his tormentors the better to colour their lewde purposes and malice gaue out and surmised him to be out of his wits but the trueth was sayde he that being once at table with one G. H. an obstinate Papist and reasoning which was the true religion I defending this which we now professe to be the trueth against Poperie and all other sectes amongst other speaches I protested vpon my damnation that this was the trueth and withall prayed that I might sinke presently downe into hell if it was not so and that if he the said G. H. would say so much for his religion if hee did not sinke presently into hell then would I take Poperie to be the true religion But he refusing so doe and being greatly mooued thereby against me complotted with a Knight a neere kinseman of his and with another gentleman being a Papist and with sundry others who found such meanes as that they procured Deuils to be raysed Sorcerers witches and Enchaunters all which sayde hee I knowe and can name and minde one
