A25493	Another out-cry of the innocent & oppressed being a true account of the unjust and illegal proceedings of Richard Rainsford and Roger Norwich and others against Thomas Allen, Francis Child, Richard Coe, and William Line, being such as are called Quakers, at the general Quarter Sessions holden at the castle in Northampton on the 12. and 13 days of the 10th moneth, 1665, where Rich. Rainsford sat in judgment and when Richard Rainsford saw that the plague was somewhat ceased, as Pharaoh did Exodus 9, 34, he hardened his heart, and those called justices joyned with him so their hearts were hardened that they attempted the second time unjustly to pass sentence to transport the servants of the Lord to the island of Barbados.		1665 (1665)	Wing A3273; ESTC R16388	8,907	13

consider_v what_o the_o lord_n have_v do_v for_o you_o you_o ruler_n of_o england_n remember_v be_v you_o not_o in_o a_o low_a condition_n not_o many_o year_n since_o and_o be_v it_o then_o in_o

in_o case_n he_o live_v peaceable_o in_o the_o nation_n and_o these_o promise_n be_v not_o by_o force_n force_v from_o you_o but_o it_o be_v do_v free_o by_o you_o and_o it_o be_v the_o lord_n that_o

of_o your_o man_n of_o war_n the_o lord_n bring_v you_o again_o into_o your_o possession_n and_o the_o lord_n perform_v what_o he_o have_v decree_v as_o concern_v your_o restauration_n and_o it_o

to_o your_o promise_n abuse_v persecute_a imprison_v his_o servant_n and_o you_o have_v make_v a_o unrighteous_a law_n to_o banish_v they_o forth_o of_o the_o land_n and_o you_o have_v put_v in_o

yet_o have_v they_o not_o give_v over_o but_o both_o in_o city_n and_o country_n they_o have_v make_v it_o their_o work_n to_o preach_v to_o the_o people_n that_o the_o plague_n will_v not_o cease_v

the_o sea_n for_o you_o judge_n and_o ruler_n if_o that_o be_v the_o cause_n that_o god_n judgement_n be_v so_o upon_o the_o nation_n then_o why_o do_v you_o not_o make_v more_o haste_n to_o remove_v god_n judgement_n have_v not_o you_o see_v how_o the_o lord_n have_v fight_v against_o you_o ever_o since_o you_o have_v go_v about_o this_o curse_a work_n of_o persecution_n and_o especial_o of_o

thou_o but_o thou_o take_v no_o notice_n of_o they_o how_o have_v the_o lord_n smite_v thou_o late_o in_o thy_o city_n with_o the_o plague_n and_o lay_v thousand_o upon_o heap_n in_o a_o short_a

to_o try_v thou_o if_o thou_o will_v let_v his_o people_n go_v free_a but_o be_v take_v off_o thy_o ruler_n begin_v again_o to_o harden_v their_o heart_n and_o already_o make_v haste_n to_o go_v on_o
