The Quaker's Jesus: or, The unswadling of that child James Nailor, which a wicked toleration hath midwiv'd into the world. Discovering the principles of the Quakers in general. In a narrative of the substance of his examination, and his disciples, as it was taken from their own mouthes, in their answer before the magistrates of the city of Bristol; also, of his examination in the painted chamber Westminster, and the management of it in Parliament, now published for the satisfaction of himself and some Christian friends. By William Grigge, (citizen of Bristol) who believes in that Jesus (and him alone for salvation) that was crucified at Jerusalem, above sixteen hundred years agoe.

An Epistle of Publius Lentulus, (found in the Romane Annals) at that time President in Judea, un∣der Tiberius the Emperour,) written to the Senate of Rome: (A Copy whereof was found (among other papers, to the number of 21.) about Nailor's Disciples, at their first Ex∣amination before the Magistrates of Bristol.)

THere appeared in these our dayes, a man of great vertue, named Jesus Christ, who is yet living amongst us, and of the Gentiles, is accepted for a Prophet of truth, but his own Disciples call him the Son of God. He raiseth the dead, and cureth all manner of Diseases. A man of stature, some∣what tall and comely, with a very reverend countenance, such as the beholders may both love and fear; his hair of the co∣lour of a Philbert full ripe, and plain almost down to his eares, from the eares downwards, somewhat curled, and more orient of colour, waving about his shoulders; in the midst of his Head goeth a seam, or partition of his hair, after the manner of the Nazarites; his fore-head very plain and smooth, his face without spot or wrinckle, beautified with a comly red: his nose and mouth so formed, as nothing can be reprehended; his beard somewhat thick, agreeable in colour, to the hair of his head, not of any great length, but forked in the midst, of an innocent and mature look; his eyes gray clear and quick; in reproving, he is terrible; in admonish∣ing,

courteous, and fair spoken, pleasant in speech, mixed with gravity; it cannot be remembred, that any have seen him laugh, but many have seen him weep; in proportion of Bo∣dy well shaped and straight; his hands and arms right de∣lectable to behold, in speaking very temperate, modest, and wise; a man for his singular beauty surpassing the Children of men.

To some particulars in this description (that wicked Im∣postor) James Nailor, bearing some small natural resem∣blance, viz. in shape of body and colour, of hair, he (cun∣ningly like himself) endeavours to answer the rest, (where∣unto he was much unlike by nature) by an artificial compo∣sure of his countenance, to an affected gravity, parting the hair of his head, wearing his beard forked, and the like; the better to carry on his damnable juggling and imposture, a∣mong those poor deluded wretches, that were given up to believe lies; that so they might take him to be the person there described, and be drawn the more easily to give him that honour and worship that doth of right belong to the true Jesus.
