Table of Contents
A brief Declaration of some of the Oppressions and Sufferings of those people the World in scorn calls QUAKERS, in the No∣thern parts, who daily suffer the spoyling of their Goods, and imprisonment of their Persons, by reason they cannot for conscience sake pay Tythes, and other customary dues (as they are called) Ob∣lations, Obversions, Easter-reckonings, Mortua∣ries, and such like Popish Inventions; so that they are daily drawn before the Judgment Seats, and re∣quired to answer the unjust demands of their Ac∣cusers, upon their oathes, thereby endeavouring to ensnare them, who for conscience sake cannot swear at all, their souls being made subject to the Commands of Christ Jesus, who saith, Swear not at all, but in all your communication let your yea be yea, and your nay, nay, for whatsoever is more than these, cometh of evil.
