And what fignified their Imprifonment, when, not ljke the Q!1akers in New·E1tgland, . they could not get out, but they could not get in, when they would; f.or Geo. , J(eith, when he wanted to Date a Paper from G.

Did ever ~ngS$, the Quakers in New-England, or elfewhere, complain of fuch Mock-Sufferings? And what does he mean, by Condemning witho!~t Try4l ? When they themfelves put out a Book of their pretended Tryal, in 16 9 3. tho' no Body would own it, when put to it at LOfldon in 1694· (few the falfity of i£, no doubt) not liJce our Rela-tions of New-England Perfecutions, which are OWQ.'d, with the A.uthor's N~mes in many Books, efpecially the aforefaid, and never deny'd or conviB:ed of any Uptruth, th<Ui I know of, tq this Day.
