A44640 A warning from the Lord unto the rulers of Dover And so to all men which stand guilty of the like practises, that all may know a day of repentance before it be too late; for the night will come when as no man can work, in which the son of man will come as a thief unto all such the workers of iniquity, and give to every man according to his deeds done in their body in their life-time. Then wo to the eveil-doer, for it will go ill with him. Also, the Christian man's plea for his liberty, as he is so indeed and in truth: and also, as he is a free-born English-man, he lays claim to his birth-right, by way of expostulation with the rulers of Dover, who rob him and many others of it, refusing to shew us any order for their so doing. Together with a true testimony born to the Light of Jesus, the power of God, yea the power of the endless life, from everlasting to everlasting: by Luke Howard. Howard, Luke, 1621-1699. 1661 (1661) Wing H2988; ESTC R215380 18,231 25

so_o can_v i._o can_v you_o believe_v that_o he_o that_o set_v upon_o the_o seat_n of_o justice_n and_o upbraid_v any_o man_n or_o pass_v judgement_n with_o respect_n of_o person_n to_o any_o man_n that_o such_o a_o man_n do_v great_o sin_n against_o god_n who_o place_n as_o among_o man_n he_o sit_v in_o and_o that_o his_o evil_n be_v exceed_o great_a so_o can_v i._o can_v you_o believe_v that_o

a_o righteous_a government_n and_o so_o set_v themselves_o to_o suppress_v such_o as_o love_v righteousness_n and_o its_o government_n against_o the_o evil-doer_n so_o can_v i._o can_v you_o believe_v that_o the_o law_n be_v not_o make_v for_o the_o righteous_a man_n to_o wit_n that_o law_n which_o be_v holy_a just_a and_o good_a but_o for_o the_o lawless_a and_o disobedient_a to_o wit_n for_o
