		In 1651 he became a Quaker and a disciple of George Fox, but gradually gathered a band of followers about himself.
		In 1656 he rode into Bristol, his followers crying “Holy, holy, holy, Lord God of Israel.” Nayler’s explanation that his disciples were worshiping the “Christ within him” rather than himself did not prevent a parliamentary trial (1656).
		Nayler was author of a number of well-written religious pamphlets; his collected works were published in 1716.

	"The Power of Suffering Love" - J. Nayler & R. Rich (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		After the brutal public scourging, which Nayler underwent with Christian meekness and forgiveness and which took him close to death, others joined Rich in pleading with the government for clemency, but the sentence was not to be mitigated.
		It may be that Nayler's "triumphal entry" into Bristol did not convey the message of the presence of Christ's Spirit in our hearts; however, the experience of his meek, forgiving manner under horrible torture, and of Rich's courageous love, seems to have awakened many of the onlookers to that presence.
		Although the crowd gathered before Nayler may have numbered in the thousands, the people were largely silent, even removing their hats during the worst of the torture.

	A brief history of blasphemy: blasphemy, censorship and 'The Satanic Verses'
		He was tried before the High Court of Parliament, and it was decreed ‘that he be repeatedly set in the pillory and scourged; that he be branded on the forehead with the letter ‘B’; that he have his tongue bored with a iron and be confined afterwards in prison and set to hard labour’.
		For Nayler’s alleged claim of equality with God was precisely the kind of claim which proceeded logically out of the Puritan enthronement of the conscience.
		The blasphemous Nayler, and the Quaker sect to which he belonged, were among the chief pioneers of the ‘internalised Christianity’ which would increasingly be adopted as an orthodoxy not only in England and America but in Protestant countries throughout Europe.

		The talk, sponsored by the Outreach Committee for the Monthly Meeting of Friends of Philadelphia, is titled "James Nayler: From Light through Darkness to Deliverance, A Psychodrama." Last December, Alden addressed the spiritual journey of Quaker founder George Fox.
		James Nayler's so-called "fall" and its impact on the early Quaker movement will be treated as an archetypal drama with implications for who we are as Friends today.
		The talk is based on Alden's original research in primary source materials, and will include background for those who don't know much about James Nayler.

		In October 1656 James Nayler, a prominent Quaker leader - second only to George Fox in the nascent movement - rode into Bristol surrounded by followers singing hosannas in deliberate imitation of Jesus' entry into Jerusalem.
		A number of central issues come into sharp relief, including gender symbolism and the role of women, belief in miraculous cures, and - particularly in relation to the meaning of the entry into Bristol - "signs of the indwelling spirit".
		Damrosch's account of the trial and savage punishment of Nayler for blasphemy exposes the political of the puritan response, the limits to Cromwellian religious liberalism.

	The Quakers
		In 1656, James Nayler (c.1618-60), a prominent Quaker leader, rode into Bristol on an ass attended by a group of women strewing palms before him in a re-enactment of Christ's entry into Jerusalem.
		Conservatively-minded MPs, who were already calling into question the religious freedom granted under the Instrument of Government, used this incident to attack the radical sects in general and the Quakers in particular.
		A number of Quakers were arrested in the aftermath of Thomas Venner's unsuccessful Fifth Monarchist revolt in 1661, and this was followed by the first official Quaker declaration of non-violence under all circumstances.

		In October 1656 James Nayler, a prominent Quaker leader, rode into Bristol surrounded by followers singing hosannas in deliberate imitation of Jesus' entry into Jerusalem.
		Another interest is the shoddy treatment Nayler received from Parliament (which really had no business dealing with Nayler, but since there was no Constitution, who is to say) and the shoddy (but different) treatment Nayler received from G. Fox and other Quakers.
		Since Damrosch is not trying to "convince" to Qism this was a refreshing treatment for me. He has worked with a concordance to find the Biblical allusions of Quaker speech and writing to fair success, missing only a few important ones.

		This work, The Foot out of the Snare, was generally perceived as an anti-Quaker publication, partly because it carried a brief recommendation by eight ministers of the established church.
		James Nayler therefore wrote a Quaker answer in Foot yet in the Snare, to which Toldervy wrote a quick retort in The Snare Broken.
		Later Toldervy decided he should clarify that Quakerism was not to blame for his experiences, and wrote the more conciliatory The Naked Truth Laid Open, which may be an attempt to gain reacceptance among Quakers.
