POSTSCRIPT.

SIR,

AND besides what I said about Fighting, I am credibly informed, that some Qua∣kers have not only fought, but that with great Courage and Magnanimity. The first I shall mention is Mr. William Mead an eminent Person, who being set upon by three High-way-men, and having only a Cudgel, or Staff, in his Hand, did not only bravely defend himself therewith, but knock'd down one of the Robbers so wounded, that the other were forced to carry him away, whilst Mr. Mead escaped their Hands. The next shall be one Matthew Renshaw (Master of a Ship,) who fought both with great and small Guns, till he was overpowered by the Turks. Another, one John Thompson, who fought exceeding stoutly, and killed a great many Men before he was taken by the Ene∣my. These two Masters were not only Quakers themselves, but their Owners gene∣rally, if not every one, such. More might be named, but these suffice to shew that the Quakers will fight in a just Cause, and that stoutly too; which puts me in mind again of G. Fox To the Council of Officers, &c. p. 5. who says (of those that had been put out of the Army for being Quakers,) Of whom it hath been said among you, that they had rather have had one of them than 7 Men, and could have turned one of them to seven Men.

And since my writing the above, I have spoken with Mr. Pennyman touching the Accusa∣tion against Stephen Crisp, mentioned in The Quakers Unmask'd, folio p. 14. and which in their Answer, p. 14. they say, Steph. Crisp absolutely denies, that he either forced him, or that the Party did shew any dissatisfaction before he Signed and Sealed the said Paper. Oh! what shall we say to these Men, who not only use Equivocatious in their Writings, but do absolutely deny matter of Fact? to which Mr. Pennyman was an Eye and Ear-Witness, and is ready to attest it, if called thereto; but would not then subscribe as a Witness, being greatly dissatisfied with the unworthiness of the demand.

I will add here something concerning the Nature of an Oath, whereby it may appear that the Quakers are mistaken about it.
