WHereas the Author of the Spirit of the HAT insinuates▪ That our Ministry is guilty of Un∣cleanness, Whoredoms, and such like Beastly Pra∣ctices, under a feigned Commendation of us under-written; as Prosecutors of such Persons, that they may be brought to Judgment. We do declare in the Fear of the Everlasting God, That though we abhor with our whole Souls such Unrighteous Practices, and if such things were, we should, we hope, clear our Consciences for God, and his Living Truth, and People: Yet we do declare in the Uprightness of our Hearts, that we know of no such, nor can acknowledge any such to be either of our Ministry, or our Body, much less those who are Eminent among us, (as hath been Wickedly Suggested by the Author of The Spirit of the Hat) whom we have found Painful and Faith∣ful to God, his Truth and People. Therefore to say, we were hindered from bringing them to Judgment, whom we never went about to charge, neither can we, is a Wicked, Envious and Palse Suggestion of the Adversaries of the Truth; and this in God's Fear we testifie to the World.
The spirit of Alexander the copper-smith lately revived, now justly rebuk'd, or, An answer to a late pamphlet, intituled, The spirit of the hat, or the government of the Quakers in which the confederacy is broken, and the devil's champions defeated / by a true witness of the one way of God, W.P. ; to which are added the testimonies of those persons whose names are chiefly quoted by the author of that pamphlet.
