a_o warn_v to_o the_o ruler_n in_o surrey_n etc._n etc._n with_o a_o true_a relation_n of_o some_o of_o the_o passage_n at_o kingston_n session_n set_v forth_o for_o the_o prevention_n of_o false_a report_n upon_o the_o 9th_o day_n of_o the_o 8_o month_n 1662._o at_o the_o quarter_n session_n at_o kingston_n up_o thames_n many_o of_o the_o lord_n people_n call_v quaker_n with_o other_o be_v bring_v thither_o to_o be_v try_v be_v innocent_o attend_v the_o court_n for_o justice_n and_o some_o of_o they_o see_v the_o unequal_a and_o illeagal_n proceed_n of_o the_o court_n be_v exceed_o burden_a and_o oppress_v so_o that_o they_o can_v not_o forbear_v but_o in_o the_o zeal_n of_o god_n cry_v against_o their_o pervert_n and_o defer_v of_o justice_n and_o judgement_n contrary_a to_o law_n equity_n and_o pure_a reason_n which_o be_v or_o aught_o to_o be_v the_o very_a ground_n and_o foundation_n of_o the_o substance_n of_o all_o national_a law_n which_o be_v or_o aught_o to_o be_v make_v for_o no_o other_o end_n but_o for_o suppress_v of_o vice_n wickedness_n &_o unrighteousness_n &_o for_o the_o kerbing_a &_o punishment_n of_o evil_a doer_n as_o say_v the_o scripture_n of_o truth_n the_o law_n be_v not_o make_v for_o the_o righteous_a but_o for_o sinner_n etc._n etc._n so_o that_o it_o be_v clear_o evident_a that_o the_o end_n of_o the_o law_n be_v for_o the_o cut_n down_o of_o sin_n &_o transgression_n and_o not_o for_o punish_v of_o innocent_a harm_n less_o people_n as_o it_o be_v to_o much_o use_v and_o execute_v at_o this_o day_n in_o many_o place_n to_o the_o sadn_v the_o heart_n of_o many_o thousand_o of_o sober_a godly_a people_n who_o fee_n and_o perfect_o discern_v that_o justice_n be_v pervert_v and_o judgement_n be_v turn_v backward_o the_o edge_n of_o the_o sword_n of_o justice_n be_v now_o turn_v against_o the_o innocent_a and_o such_o as_o true_o fear_v god_n with_o which_o they_o seek_v to_o cut_v down_o truth_n and_o righteousness_n where_o ever_o it_o do_v appear_v and_o in_o the_o defence_n of_o the_o unrighreous_a generation_n who_o at_o this_o day_n go_v on_o in_o their_o exceed_a gross_a abomination_n as_o it_o they_o be_v license_v by_o superior_a power_n but_o to_o the_o grief_n of_o many_o sincere_a heart_a it_o be_v see_v to_o be_v to_o much_o tolerate_v that_o it_o can_v be_v avoid_v but_o undouboed_o the_o severe_a judgement_n of_o the_o righteous_a god_n must_v short_o be_v manifest_v to_o the_o final_a dissolation_n of_o such_o as_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o these_o thing_n without_o speedy_a

which_o hasten_v and_o can_v be_v avoid_v without_o humility_n and_o true_a unfeigned_a repentance_n for_o this_o i_o say_v in_o a_o clear_a and_o true_a discern_v in_o the_o zeal_n of_o god_n glory_n that_o the_o almerciful_a god_n of_o justice_n be_v angry_a with_o the_o unrighteous_a proceed_n of_o the_o head_n of_o this_o nation_n and_o his_o wrath_n be_v kindle_v as_o a_o mighty_a flame_n against_o the_o abomination_n of_o the_o time_n which_o will_v burn_v and_o consume_v the_o wicked_a who_o be_v as_o stubble_n and_o chaff_n before_o the_o fire_n so_o that_o i_o say_v it_o be_v now_o full_a time_n to_o repent_v least_o the_o day_n determine_v for_o the_o consumption_n of_o the_o wicked_a come_v upon_o you_o as_o a_o thief_n in_o the_o night_n as_o it_o come_v upon_o they_o which_o god_n overturn_v before_o you_o and_o you_o be_v cut_v off_o in_o the_o height_n of_o your_o iniquity_n and_o so_o perish_v eternal_o but_o the_o lord_n know_v my_o heart_n that_o i_o desire_v not_o the_o destruction_n of_o any_o man_n person_n but_o rather_o the_o conversion_n the_o whole_a creation_n of_o mankind_n neither_o do_v the_o compassionate_a god_n of_o bowel_n of_o infinite_a mercy_n desire_v the_o death_n or_o destruction_n of_o any_o but_o have_v rather_o all_o will_v turn_v from_o the_o evil_n of_o their_o way_n to_o find_v mercy_n and_o live_v so_o that_o wisdom_n conclude_v that_o every_o man_n destruction_n be_v of_o himself_o that_o he_o alone_o be_v the_o very_a cause_n of_o it_o and_o not_o the_o lord_n who_o mercy_n be_v over_o all_o his_o work_n so_o that_o if_o you_o harken_v not_o to_o the_o counsel_n of_o the_o most_o high_a and_o speedy_o repent_v and_o amend_v your_o life_n you_o shall_v certain_o know_v that_o your_o destruction_n be_v of_o yourselves_o as_o israel_n be_v who_o rebel_v against_o the_o lord_n and_o refuse_v to_o hear_v his_o voice_n and_o kick_v against_o his_o reproof_n and_o despise_v his_o servant_n and_o messenger_n as_o you_o have_v do_v and_o do_v at_o this_o day_n oh_o that_o you_o will_v hear_v the_o lord_n and_o answer_v his_o call_n that_o you_o may_v live_v and_o find_v mercy_n this_o be_v the_o worst_a my_o soul_n desire_v for_o you_o oh_o make_v not_o lie_v your_o refuge_n as_o the_o wicked_a have_v do_v in_o all_o age_n cast_v not_o that_o from_o you_o upon_o other_o which_o true_o and_o proper_o belong_v unto_o you_o lest_o you_o further_o provoke_v the_o lord_n do_v not_o accuse_v a_o innocent_a people_n with_o act_n of_o violence_n who_o can_v lift_v up_o a_o hand_n against_o any_o man_n in_o
