WILLIAM PRYNNE's ANSWER. JOHN AUDLAND, TH HOU Quaking Quack, Jefuitical Romish Franciscan Frog, see my Quaker unmasked, page 1. 13. Thou art the Devil's Dice-Box, which he Shakes, Rattles, Wags, to gull, cheat, delude, and induce the intoxicated giddy-headed English Nation. Thou art fick of thy Church, and haft catch'd thy Religion like a Palfy, Epilepfy, Ague, and art taken with Tertian, Quartan, Quotidian cold Fits, at thy fuperftitious, idolatrous Jefuitical Meetings, Affemblies, Conventicles. See my Health's Sickness, p. 150. The Northern Blaft, p. 90. The Pope croffing the Cudgels, p. 297. Where thou fayest I have no Ears, &c. therein thou fhewest that thou haft no Light, Reason, Understanding; for as a House is judged to be a House in Law as long as any Part is standing; and a light Piece of Gold is good and lawful English Coin, current with Allowance, altho' it be clipt, filed, washed, or worn; even fo are my Ears legal, warrantable, and fufficient Ears, and good in Law, however they have been clipt, par'd, cropt, circumcis'd; and I have a better Title to the Remainders than thou haft to thine, for they have been twice adjudged to me by the Laws of the Land, which thine never were. For those Parcels, Scraps, Shreds, that I was deprived of, did but confirm my Right to those that are (fee my own Abridgment at large, page 29. Lifle upon Gerrard, pag. 26. The Legality of Treafon, in two Parts, S. G. upon both, pag. 666.) left for, exceptio firmat legem in cafibus non exceptis. This fhews that the Light within thee, of which thou doft vapour, brag, vaunt, and extol thy self so much, is but a kind of dusky Owl-light, a trembling twinkling, stinking Snuff, which thou carrieft in thy Paunch, Guts, Bowels, as an Ox, Bull, or Cow, doth Tallow to make Candles of, or the Cattle of Lincolnfhire do the Fewel of the Country; and thou knoweft who it was that looked over Lincoln, and cried, All's mine, as he will in time do over ye Quakers, Frogs, Vipers. See my Hidden Works of Darkness, pag. 400. A Looking Glafs for a Blind Guide, pag. 79. Fryers a Fry of Whereas thou fayeft, urgeft and objecteft, that I would have made an Act of Parliament, therein thou art mistaken, deceived and deluded, for I would rather have marred, fpoiled and perverted one, according to the Senfe, Judgment, and Opinion of the Houfe, (and ejus eft interpretari cujus eft condere; fee Bracton) by putting in, adding and inferting fome Thing, or Things, of my own Invention, Wit, Contrivance, that had not paffed their Votes; and putting out, erafing, and expunging other Things, which had, which cannot be faid, held, or judged to be a Breach of Law, because it was before it was made one; and if it had been fo, yet it would have proved no great Crime, Fault, Offence, for Exchange (thou knoweft) is no Robbery. See The Foot out of the Snare, pag. 53. Prynne's Principles, pag. 200. which is more than you can fay, produce, or allege for yourfelves, who are a Generation, Spawn, Litter of Vipers, Frogs, Serpents; fo obftinate, peremptory, incorrigible, that you break the Act of Parliament, at the fame Time that it is put in Execution against you, like unto a Cut-purse that picks a Pocket when he is going to be hanged; for you croud, thrust and intrude yourselves into Prifons, by Shoals, that you may, in Defiance of Law, Government, Authority, meet more than five together, although it be in the Goal. See my Sword of Chriftian Magiftracy fuppreffed, pag. 550. The Sectary diffected, pag. 82. Whereas thou fayeft, I write in the Style, Form, Language of a Conveyance, therein I do according to my Profeffion, Calling, Vocation, and if thou hadst done fo too, thou hadst been but a Mechanic ftill, and hadft not ordained thyfelf a Hedge Sir John, of an orderless Order and unruly Rule, the Original, Rife, or Beginning whereof, is as uncertain as the Head, or Heads, of Nile, or the hatching of Woodcocks; for no body can tell from whence it came. (See Truth triumphing, pag. 79. The Jefuit a Jebufite, pag. 904.) a Church, or rather Chapel, indeed, that is built upon a Quaking Bog, (mark that) or flat Quickfand, without Superior, or Inferior, in it, like the Knights of King Arthur's (See the Seven Champions of Christendom) round Table, or the Serpent AmVOL. I. Cc phibana (of which fee Pliny) that has a Head at both Ends. Mahomet, the falfe Prophet of the Turks, was the first Prophet, Patriarch, Founder of the Quakers: For he had Trembling Trances, and frantic Fits of the Falling-fickness, in which he had Revelations, Dreams, Vifions, whispered into his Ear by a Dove, Pidgeon, or Widgeon, that he had inftructed and taught, used to pick Seeds out of his Ear, or Ears; which Seeds are the Seeds of your Church as well as his, for they produce the very fame Fruits, Effects, Workings in both, and both equally hope to be faved by him. And hence it is, that all your Wishes, Longings, Defires, are in the Turks over-running of Christendom; for as both they and you account Fools, Ideots, Madmen, Saints; you do not doubt but to pass eafily for fuch with them, for your great Abilities in thofe Gifts. And therefore as your Brethren, the aforefaid Turkish Mahometan Fanatics, devote, destine, damn themselves to Deftruction, meerly to tire, weary, make Work for, and put a ftop to the Chriftians in their Wars; and fill up Ditches, Grafts, Trenches with their Bodies, arcafes, outward Men, for their Fellow Muf |
