A True and impartial narrative of the eminent hand of God that befell a Quaker and his family at the town of Panton in Lincolnshire, who affirmed he was commanded of God to pronounce Mr. Ralph James preacher of the Gospel a leper ...

Beloved Brother Ralph James,

I Am by several Worthy Christians in London, de∣sired to intreat you, to send us an Account in VVriting, as full and as clear as it is possible for you to remember, of what passed between your self and Richard Anderson of Panton, that was the Quaker, con∣cerning the Leprosie that befel his Child, and that Sore-Pain that befel himself, his VVife, and the rest of his Children; for in truth, it is utterly denied by the Quakers in London, they say 'tis a false forged Lie of the Independant and Baptist People; And in∣deed it is scarce credited by any, that so visible a Handiwork of the Great God, to the Glory of his great Truth, and for the Reputation of the Holy

Scriptures, as being the Rule for his people to walk and square their Lives by, could be concealed from a Publication, under several Credible persons Hands, as were Eie and Ear witnesses, that so the Truth may be vindicated, to the Praise of God, and their Mouths stopped that do gainsay it, and by the good Bles∣sing of Heaven, those poor deluded people called Quakers that are not hardned, may take seasonable advice from this Land-mark of Providence, to repent of their Grand Sin, of setting up a Light within for a standing rule, that Men and VVomen must walk after, rather then give heed to the Holy Scriptures, calling that a dead Letter, and the Ordinances it calls upon us, to be found till Christs personal coming in the practice of Carnal, Low, and empty Services; This is the Substance of what I am desired at this time to write unto you, so with my intire Love to your self and Family, begging your daily Prayers to God for me, and intreating your speedy Answer, I rest

Your truly affectionate, though unworthy Brother John Green.

London, this 12 of Feb. 1671.
