know it to be Gods word if my words do not smite you and ye are righteous men then my words are from the devil Then I cryed aloud and said if any man did fear God let him praise God that had tryed me even to death and I had not slain any man and now my hand should be clean from the blood of them but God would raise Butchers then they said who were the Butchers then I said I will tell you who they are they are the souldiers whom you have cozened and cheated your armies shall divide and they shall hew you assunder and cut you off root and branch therefore if there be any that fear God depart from among the accursed men for God will cut them off and their children and not leave one of them to piss on the earth Then they said why did not I execute Gods command I said God accept the will for the deed instance Abraham then two rose and said I had said that God had accepted my sacrifice or offering I denyed their words they affirmed and upon my illustrative they stated a position and bid the Chairman wright it down and so to have taken away my life because I had convinced them by Gods truth yet their wickedness is so great that they defie the Lord that bought them even unto his very face still those two men affirmed a position in plain terms them which would have taken away my life by their false witnessing proved thus because God did stay their Chairmans hand and two men one of my right hand and one on my left gave testimony that delivered me from my death and said my words were not positive which knew all men the laws all position As thus for doing in such a thing such an punishment but yea asses know for such an entention if it had truely been the law cannot lay hold and know there can be no treason against all traytors and that lies behind to come in its place you will say and judge Theauraujohn did write this book I see them that know me in the spirit do know I did write this book but they that would know me litterally shall not know I write this book and yet know you all I did write this book but whether dead or alive you know not this is one of your own but it is beyond your form hear ye cheaters of the nations liberty I write and no man sees how can any of your perjured ones say he saw me spell these words write the letters that doth contain my meaning then it goes unto the Priests then it is another thing and such a thing that no law in England can lay hold upon Thus my copy is consumed to give glory unto the Priests the Printer he printeth the copy he dare not swear that he that gives him the coppy saw him write the copy it s his trade to print and by the free Law of England every man may use his lawful calling without mollestation else ye fools where is the grand Charter of Albion now named England Know all men God doth command to honor these three men the Chairman and the two men on each side and I my self do give unto each of them their due respect as they were true witnesses of my true words and so saved my life and thus saith Jehovah that when his Buchers the man slayer shall excute his just judgement on the rest their life I have given unto them for a pray but their estates are gone because of a confederasie with the sons of Belial their names I will declare to the whole kingdom for their honor so soon as I know their names for I knew not one man but Master Hull as I went by into the room The next and last was this I did beseech them consider that a man of peace a man that had forsaken all that God should raise him up for to testifie with the hazard of his life Gods fierce wrath kindled against them to cut them off quite from the earth Then one answered and said I fought with Colonel Rich then I said Gentlemen I beseech you all to hear me in this matter then they heard me attentively then I said that when Colonel Rich and Captain French that villain with the rest of the theeves came to divide their theevish purchases the Parks in which they had cheated the poor souldiers by buying their debenters for a song in comparison of their due right for Gentlemen I said thus if I set a man to work till it comes unto twenty shillings and then give him ten graots I count them cheating theeves and villains What do you think of this At this word they were mute and asked me what I was and if I loved the Quakers and I said they were honest men then they made strange then I said I love all as an Independent Anabaptist Papist Cavileer and all men if they were but what they said but for to speak good words and under them good pretences wrong and spoil others them my soul did abhor and loath Gentlemen I am a man that doth acknowledge a State of Kings Earls Barons and Lords which is Monarchy the fifth Christ shall a thousand yeers This that I now write is added for to give the land notice from Jehovah I do from the Lord according unto our lineal dissent as before the land it shall be proved our right to be royal lineal duely without transposition claim the crown of England and by the which true right undoubtedly when the records do appear and from that true right I do voice forth unto the world though in prison a degrasion of all honors conferred on and upon any person honorable or worshipful from the day and yeer of the life acting of the Duke of Glocester named Richard the third Englands King and also I degrad all title of Henry the seventh as none in heritance in Englands crown right by which cheat Stuard came in by marriage of Henry the sevenths daughter and in this degraidment lies the rest degraded and an annihilated for by Jehovah every man shall have his due right and my self not one farthing and not my self nor mine children and people one penny for I go to a greater inheritance which is Jerusalem onely I do retain my due right and title Albiton or Albion that is the lands restoring the oppressor cut off the people shall praise God that made them when by righteousness they are restored Take notice all people of England although by a Divine right I do challenge and claim the whole Forrest lands as we shall prove in a lawful Sessions of the Nations just chousing and also our Royal title of Albanugaunny The which title doth include the Crown of England yet all people know we do scorn that our title Royal should be expostulated with our younger brothers servants or journiman I mean my Lord Protector and his chosing by him stated for I tell you the name Cromwell doth degraid him

And if any Man do wonder at its burning it is because his soul knoweth not the LORD that bought him and further his Name is not write in the book of life for all wonder and marvel and admiration it is until CHRIST be come but when Faith is planted wonderment sesseth GOD reigns Man is made obedient then as he made an idol depending upon that dead Letter Christ is the living life of righteousness which is the spiritual life invalved under them dark expressions and when CHRIST is come the Soul is Gospel GOD's voice is sounded the new Creation erected Adam restored to his first sight There is the whole Mystery of the Gospel's History these Words are true Scripture The Letter killeth but the Spirit of JESUS CHRIST is life eternal opening dark dead men into the Communion with the Father Therefore all People Tongues and Nations Know That I did not burn the BIBLE in contempt of GOD or in contempt of its Record from GOD for then I had condemned my own life which is framed in obedience unto that litteral expression but thus I had made an Idol of the BIBLE because its living life was not then rose in me although thus much I had offered for the glory in the Gospel contained Thus I forsook my Trade made Restoration according to God's command upon me forsook all glory of this World went out from men became a Nazarite unto God yet all this was but short TAke notice people who amongst you are come thus far and all people know you are no neerer GOD then light is to darkness for all your praying preaching nor hearing but so far as in Truth you practice GOD's command and you must be in the Faith of JESUS before any obedience can stand and this work doth wholly undoe mans wisdom and inlets GOD's righteousness If you say I burned the word of GOD.
