[46] “And you shewed your Spirit, who ran away from England, and could not abide the sufferings of your purse, and a Prison, and when you were got beyond Sea, then you could Hang, and Burn, and Whip, God’s Creatures, and the true Subjects of _England_; yet you would have the name of Christians who have cast away all Humanity and Christianity, by your fury, rage, and _Nebuchadnezzar’s_ spirit; who are worse than the very _Indians_, whose name stinks both among _Indians_ and _Christians_, which is become a proverb and a common Cry, The bloody Crimes of _New England_, a company of rotten Hypocrites which fled from _Old England_ to save their purses and themselves from Imprisonment, and then can Hang, and Burn, and Whip, and spoil the Goods of such as come out of England to inhabit among them, only for being called Quakers.... Are these the men that fled for Religion all people may say, that now Hang, Burn, Imprison, Cut, Fine, and spoil the Goods, and drink the blood of the innocent. God will give you a Cup of trembling, that you shall be a by-word, and a hissing to all your neighbours.” Bishop, Second Part, 146, 147. [47] See Note 83, on the next Essay. [48] Bishop, 67.
