I have little more news to communicate from these parts, only that within these few months, we have had five or six thousand diabolical spirits, return’d from their embassies in the upper world, who were many years since commanded thither by prince _Lucifer_, to the assistance and further establishment of our party and opinion, and had every one of them possess’d themselves of good quarters, and lay snug in the bosoms of our sanctified friends, but reported when they came back, that an old trout-back apostate, who lately fell from quakerism to the church, arming himself cap-a-pee with the armour of truth, took up the sword of the gospel, and by downright dint of scripture and sound reason, made so large a conquest over _Satan_’s subjects, that the devils were forc’d to quit their possessions, and leave great numbers of our friends to the mercy of G----d and their ecclesiastical enemies; but fresh recruits are daily sent among you from these infernal territories, hoping in a little time to recover our lost interest.

We thought the many persecutions thou underwent’st for the l--d’s sake in this world, (_viz._) as peeping thro’ the yoak of infamy, and losing thy two members of attention. _Secondly_, for hugging the vagabonds land-mark against the will of the spirit, and undergoing the rod of correction. And, _Thirdly_, for suffering the clack of the spirit to be bored thro’ with a hot wimble, for warranting thyself to be the true son of thy father, would have been merits sufficient to have rais’d thee upon the pinnacle of mount _Sion_, and there to have fixed thee as a standing evidence of the truth to all eternity; but since the spirit within thee prov’d a lying spirit, that extinguished the light, and led thee like a blind guide into the dark ways of destruction; we that were
