John Bennet, for not paying Tythe to Dean Moson, was Ex∣communicated, and by a Writ Excom. Cap. imprisoned in the common Goal at Naas, where he was put in a nasty close Dun∣geon, and there kept Prisoner above four years, under—Leason, a cruel and inhumane Goaler; and whilst thus a Prisoner, Priest Wilkinson of Athy (with his Clark and Proctors) went un∣to the said John Bennet's House, and kickt, beat and abused Man and Women there, calling them unseemly names, laying hands on the Goods in the House, &c. but the Clark and Pro∣ctors being ashamed of the Priest's carriage, refused to assist him in carrying away any Goods. ☞ This Priest lived in the County of Wexford, at and after the time the King was restored, and then and there said, He would burn before he would read the Com∣mon-Prayer, and wear the Surplice; but now this greedy Priest hath turned his Coat, and for his Belly is become a seeming Con∣formist.
A brief relation of some part of the sufferings of the true Christians, the people of God, in scorn called Quakers, in Ireland, for these last eleaven years, viz, from 1660 until 1671 with an occasional treatise of their principles and practices briefly stated, whereby the innocency of their cause, for which they so suffer, is not only plainly demonstrated, but also from all false asperations and causeless pretences sufficiently vindicated / collected by T.H. and A.F.
