A60436	The fruits of unrighteousnes and injustice Brought forth by John Bulkley, and Thomas Bowrman, and the rest of the rulers in Hampshire, against the innocent people of God called Quakers. Who in words and writings have often declared their unjust sufferings; as also at two sessions, and two general assizes holden at Winchester, requiring justice and equity, and their right and liberty in the nation; of the which being still most unjustly deprived, it is now publiquely declared, that they and others seeing their deeds of darknesse brought to light, may be warned, and learn to do justice, and to relieve the oppressed. Also the sounding voyce of the dread of Gods mighty power to all the judges and rulers of the earth, who rise up aginst the Lamb, and to all the host of powers of darknesse who fight against God. By the servants of Christ ... called Humphry Smith. Anthony Melledg. George Henderson. James Potter. Will: Baily. Daniel Baker. John Day. Winifred Newman.

we_o purchase_v our_o liberty_n by_o speak_v word_n of_o promise_v to_o go_v home_o see_v you_o hear_v already_o that_o we_o can_v make_v such_o promise_n know_v no_o law_n require_v we_o thereunto_o a_o answer_n to_o these_o thing_n will_v we_o willing_o receive_v in_o write_v from_o some_o of_o you_o that_o both_o your_o ground_n and_o your_o end_n may_v from_o you_o be_v know_v wherefore_o we_o be_v deprive_v of_o our_o right_n and_o liberty_n in_o the_o nation_n and_o keep_v in_o long_a imprisonment_n at_o the_o assize_n when_o the_o judge_n be_v about_o to_o send_v we_o away_o a_o justice_n so_o call_v speak_v to_o he_o that_o we_o may_v be_v put_v in_o the_o house_n of_o correction_n and_o the_o same_o day_n when_o george_n and_o christopher_n derby_n be_v examine_v by_o the_o
