Edward Burrough's Testimony

Are not all professors, and sects of people such as have the form,
but are without the power of Godliness?
Are not people still covetous, and earthly-minded, and given to the world,
and proud, and vain, even such as profess religion, and to be a separated people?
Are not professors as covetous, and proud, as such as do not profess?
....and is it not manifest that they have taken up the form of the Apostles,
and Christs words and Practices, and are without the life,
and not guided by the spirit of Christ and the Apostles in their praying and preaching?
Are not your souls lean and starved?
To the witness of God in you all I speak, which may testify
that many people have a show of religion without life.

And as concerning the Quakers....you have seen their conversation
and do they not walk justly and truly among their neighbors,
and speak the truth and do the truth in all things?
....do not they take much wrong, rather than give wrong to any.
And do not they preach in the power of God,
and reach to your consciences when you hear them....
Are you ignorant of their great sufferings through this nation?
...and is their suffering for evil-doing or is it not for righteousness sake?
What harm do they do to any, by work or word?
Why are they reproached and mocked and scorned?
Why are they put in prisons, and whipped and sorely abused?
Is it for any evil-doing or is it not because they are the servant of the lord?
