A63807	The planter's speech to his neighbours & country-men of Pennsylvania, East & West Jersey and to all such as have transported themselves into new-colonies for the sake of a quiet retired life : to which is added the complaints of our supra-inferior inhabitants.

wrath_n and_o bloodshed_n therefore_o let_v not_o our_o street_n the_o temple_n of_o peace_n and_o tabernacle_n of_o love_n and_o innocence_n be_v encumber_a with_o such_o mischievous_a tool_n let_v

to_o kill_v and_o destroy_v other_o inferior_a creature_n and_o inhabitant_n of_o the_o element_n yet_o i_o pray_v consider_v why_o will_v you_o arm_v yourselves_o &_o provide_v thus_o to_o kill_v those_o innocent_a creature_n do_v not_o bounteous_a mother_n earth_n furnish_v we_o with_o all_o sort_n of_o food_n necessary_a for_o life_n wherefore_o then_o will_v you_o trouble_v yourselves_o to_o kill_v those_o creature_n who_o have_v a_o have_v a_o title_n by_o nature_n charter_n to_o their_o life_n as_o well_o as_o you_o shall_v not_o the_o groan_a of_o those_o creature_n call_v for_o

therefore_o though_o you_o will_v not_o sight_n with_o and_o kill_v those_o of_o your_o own_o species_n yet_o i_o must_v be_v bold_a to_o tell_v you_o that_o these_o lesser_a violence_n as_o you_o may_v call_v they_o do_v proceed_v from_o the_o same_o root_n of_o wrath_n and_o bitterness_n as_o the_o great_a do_v there_o be_v but_o one_o grand_a fountain_n from_o whence_o all_o kind_n of_o

from_o the_o dark_a root_n it_o be_v true_a we_o read_v in_o scripture_n frequent_o of_o the_o kill_v both_o man_n and_o beast_n and_o it_o be_v true_a the_o lord_n do_v give_v the_o nation_n liberty_n to_o kill_v and_o eat_v the_o flesh_n of_o inferior_a creature_n but_o note_n that_o this_o be_v not_o do_v until_o mankind_n have_v depart_v out_o of_o his_o holy_a law_n and_o government_n of_o his_o divine_a principle_n into_o his_o fierce_a wrath_n out_o of_o which_o wrathful_a principle_n he_o permit_v the_o kill_n and_o eat_v of_o flesh_n so_o the_o scripture_n say_v the_o wickedness_n of_o man_n have_v corrupt_v the_o earth_n and_o then_o the_o lord_n say_v my_o spirit_n shall_v no_o long_o strive_v with_o man_n threescore_o and_o ten_o year_n shall_v be_v the_o term_n

his_o fierce_a wrath_n which_o man_n have_v rather_o choose_v to_o precipitate_v himself_o into_o shorten_a man_n life_n and_o give_v he_o flesh_n to_o eat_v which_o sort_n of_o food_n have_v the_o
