How Mr. Peters opened Heaven Gates to a Committee-man.

Preaching once in Ireland, and discoursing on the Times, it came into his head, with his Knuckle to hit against the Pulpit, imitating to his Auditory, he had been in Heaven, and answering the sound, quoth he, who is there, a Cavalier, Oh a Calier! you must not come here, you must to Hell, for you fight against the Parliament. Then he knocks again, and cries, Who is there, a Round-head; Oh a Round-head! you must not come hither, you are factions and disorderly in Opinions; so he knocks the third time, and cries, Who is there, a Committee-man; Oh a Committee-man, he must come, and shall, lay∣ing his hands on the Pulpit door, as if he would let him in.
