HAVING thus plainly detected the Falfhbod of the moft material Facts in Pickworth's Narrative, we fhall fubmit to the Judgment of every Confiderate Perfon, to determine, whether any Credit is to be given to a Story, wherein are fo many Paffages well known by Credible Perfon's to be falfe and none, fo far as yet appears, which any Man in the World, except the Relator, will affirm to be true. HAD not thefe obvious Falfhoods presented themselves, we could have prov'd, by many other inconfiftencies and palpable Mistakes in the faid Narrative, that Pickworth is very far from having fo good a Memory, as fuch a Man ftands in need of. By this Appendix, 'tis hop'd the Vindicator will perceive, that his taking Stories on Truft from Pickworth, and Quotations from Keith, Men that turn'd their Backs on that Light of Truth the Quakers profefs, has led him into a Labyrinth of Darkness and Error; and that he will take in good Part these our boneft Endeavours to help him out of it, FINIS AN INDEX OF THE Principal Contents of this Book: The INTRODUCTION.
