The cruelty of some fighting priests published, that people may no longer be deceived by them, nor count them ministers of the gospel of Christ, who in stead of turning their cheeks to the smiter, are themselves turned smiters and fighters, and smite with the fist of wickedness, and have beat, puncht & struck knockt down and puld by the hair of the head, & have set their hearers on to beat & knock down the people of God, whom they in scorn call Quakers, some for asking the priest a sober question in the old masse-house, others in the high-wayes.
