Wherein the liberty of speaking ... is opposed against Antichrist, for the procuring of his downfall, who will not grant the same to others; and now published to awaken the publick spirits in England, and to raise up an universal magistrate in Christendome, that will suffer all sorts of people, (of what religion soever they are) in any one countrey, as God (the great magistrate) suffers the same in all countreys of the world. By Peter Cornelius, Van Zurick-Zee, a lover of truth and peace.

and goodness will order all things in such a way that the light of liberty kindled in England may enlighten all Kingdomes and Governements in the world Your Highness is not ignorant how the Pope of Rome and the Bishops have held many thousands in these and other Countreys together in a false Peace by the bands of Tyranny untill some magnanimous spirits not able any longer to bear that injustice did with a strong arme throw of the Tyrannicall yoak by reason whereof the false peace being thus interrupted the people is become divided into many kinds of Sects and opinions which yet is better then to have them bound together in a false peace with the bands of Tyranny for the diseases as well of the mind as of the body cannot be cured unlesse they be first manifested neither would he do the part of a skilfull Chirurgeon that should endeavour to skin over the wound without cleansing the bottome but rather discover his base designe in preferring his own Interest before the health welfare of the Patient for this cause it will be good to suffer every one without any let or hinderance to manifest his sence and disease as well in spirituall as bodily matters to the very bottome that so the corruptions being found out the remedy for cure of the same may be applyed to which purpose that every error might meet with its Antidote I did in my Letters delivered to your Father propound the setting up a generall meeting-place in all Cityes and Countryes which might stand as a clear light between all Sects for the dispelling of errors not by violence but by the power of Scripture and reason without binding up the liberty of speaking whereby the defects of the understanding are kept hidden which is already much laboured after by the little Antichrists that seek their own greatness but I hope that you perceiving the mistery of Iniquity will above all things remember Englands liberty which hath cost much blood and with a generous spirit bring down all designes how subtil soever without being deceived by such as come in sheeps-cloathing with smooth and flattering words and in a fair and specious outside shew themselves like Angels of light against whom you ought as wel to be armed with prudence as against open enemies that so the sword which is given for the protection of the good may not be abused by those who have more hopes to prevaile with you then they had with your Father who knew their dispositions by long experience yet I hope you will shew and demonstrate by your works actions that you will in that not only follow but exceed the Exampler of your Father by not establishing any particular Sect which in other Countryes hath caused a total destruction of liberty but by maintaining a tolleration for all For the Lord of heaven hath not designed England for a particular but for a generall work therefore it is one of the main businesses of Magistrates to try the spirits of those that repaire to them for there are two kinds of Spirits that stand in direct opposition alwayes working the one for their own particular and the other for the common good not only to cure the distempers of the mind but also to take off the burthens and afflictions of the body and when you are at a losse stand centred in the eternalls will who can make way for true wisdom to direct and lead you in and out before the people Thus having born testimony against all oppression I leave it to God your Self and your Counsel not doubting but if it should prove ineffectual God will raise up instruments for delivering of the oppressed and subscribe my self to be A well wisher of Englands liberty and all other Nations happinesse Peter Cornelius Van-Zurick-Zee FINIS A mercifull man being sensible of the poverty and afflictions of others cannot be in peace before he have done his endeavour according to his power to ease the burdens and afflictions of the opressed therefore have I to discharge my duty in another Treatise which is to be published propounded a way to make the poor distressed people in these and other Nations happy
