to_o the_o magistrate_n and_o people_n of_o england_n where_o this_o may_v come_v what_o be_v the_o matter_n with_o the_o christian_n of_o our_o age_n and_o of_o our_o english_a nation_n that_o have_v be_v look_v upon_o to_o be_v a_o garden_n and_o a_o nursery_n in_o christianity_n and_o religion_n beyond_o all_o other_o nation_n that_o have_v make_v so_o great_a profession_n of_o god_n and_o christ_n and_o of_o the_o scripture_n and_o be_v they_o now_o turn_v persecutor_n and_o lawmaker_n against_o christianity_n and_o against_o those_o that_o be_v in_o the_o same_o spirit_n of_o god_n power_n and_o fellowship_n as_o they_o be_v in_o that_o give_v forth_o the_o scripture_n which_o the_o people_n of_o england_n profess_v and_o be_v those_o now_o become_v the_o great_a enemy_n that_o england_n have_v and_o for_o no_o other_o cause_n but_o because_o they_o worship_v god_n and_o obey_v christ_n command_n and_o abide_v in_o his_o doctrine_n and_o bear_v the_o same_o testimony_n of_o truth_n and_o resurrection_n of_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n as_o the_o apostle_n do_v and_o all_o that_o they_o do_v and_o act_n and_o speak_v and_o suffer_v for_o be_v according_a to_o scripture_n and_o nothing_o that_o they_o suffer_v for_o be_v contrary_a to_o the_o scripture_n be_v those_o thing_n become_v a_o crime_n in_o england_n and_o be_v this_o the_o great_a offence_n that_o england_n have_v take_v with_o the_o people_n of_o god_n even_o because_o they_o believe_v in_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n and_o obey_v his_o doctrine_n oh_o take_v up_o a_o lamentation_n for_o england_n sure_o there_o be_v some_o heavy_a sad_a and_o grievous_a judgement_n wait_v upon_o it_o and_o be_v not_o hardness_n of_o heart_n and_o a_o reprobate_a mind_n and_o a_o fear_a conscience_n one_o of_o the_o great_a judgement_n that_o can_v befall_v a_o people_n and_o be_v not_o this_o already_o seize_v upon_o the_o lawmaker_n of_o england_n that_o have_v harden_v their_o heart_n against_o the_o lord_n and_o his_o people_n as_o if_o they_o have_v no_o other_o enemy_n but_o they_o who_o never_o do_v they_o wrong_v nor_o hurt_n nor_o never_o desire_v nor_o intend_v any_o hurt_n against_o they_o but_o have_v ever_o desire_v their_o good_a and_o peace_n and_o welfare_n and_o that_o they_o may_v come_v to_o the_o true_a knowledge_n of_o the_o lord_n and_o to_o the_o true_a knowledge_n of_o his_o truth_n as_o it_o be_v in_o jesus_n which_o they_o clear_o manifest_v they_o be_v ignorant_a of_o by_o their_o make_n of_o law_n against_o those_o among_o they_o that_o fear_v god_n and_o worship_v he_o and_o gives_z glory_n to_o his_o name_n though_o they_o be_v freeborn_a english_a man_n and_o woman_n nor_o have_v they_o transgress_v any_o just_a law_n of_o england_n until_o they_o be_v force_v to_o make_v one_o to_o make_v they_o transgressor_n with_o though_o they_o be_v of_o the_o same_o religion_n that_o they_o themselves_o profess_v they_o profess_v christ_n and_o the_o scripture_n in_o word_n but_o they_o that_o come_v to_o the_o work_n of_o righteousness_n and_o to_o believe_v in_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n which_o be_v the_o work_n of_o god_n such_o they_o persecute_v and_o make_v law_n against_o so_o that_o england_n appear_v now_o as_o if_o it_o will_v shut_v christianity_n out_o of_o its_o dominion_n and_o what_o will_v they_o bring_v in_o and_o set_v up_o next_o see_v they_o banish_v out_o christ_n and_o his_o member_n and_o servant_n and_o saint_n and_o so_o make_v they_o slave_n that_o be_v free_a bear_v english_a man_n which_o have_v be_v a_o blessing_n unto_o they_o and_o to_o the_o land_n wherein_o they_o live_v and_o no_o hurt_n to_o they_o and_o if_o they_o have_v give_v they_o the_o liberty_n of_o their_o conscience_n to_o have_v serve_v the_o lord_n god_n they_o may_v have_v be_v partaker_n of_o the_o blessing_n with_o they_o but_o be_v that_o they_o have_v turn_v their_o hand_n against_o the_o lord_n and_o turn_v their_o sword_n backward_o against_o the_o righteous_a sure_o the_o lord_n will_v plead_v for_o this_o and_o sure_o there_o will_v a_o recompense_v come_v for_o its_o hard_a to_o strive_v against_o the_o lord_n and_o to_o touch_v his_o anoint_a and_o to_o do_v his_o prophet_n any_o harm_n when_o they_o be_v but_o few_o in_o number_n he_o reprove_v king_n for_o their_o sake_n and_o he_o be_v the_o same_o now_o he_o change_v not_o and_o his_o arm_n and_o power_n be_v the_o same_o and_o his_o righteousness_n be_v the_o same_o which_o be_v to_o be_v reveal_v upon_o the_o head_n of_o the_o wicked_a and_o he_o be_v engage_v to_o plead_v the_o cause_n of_o the_o innocent_a who_o have_v no_o pleader_n in_o the_o earth_n and_o his_o eye_n see_v and_o behold_v all_o the_o action_n of_o the_o child_n of_o man_n and_o those_o that_o act_n against_o he_o and_o his_o servant_n he_o take_v special_a notice_n of_o and_o he_o see_v the_o affliction_n of_o his_o people_n former_o when_o they_o be_v afflict_v in_o egypt_n and_o hear_v their_o cry_n and_o know_v their_o suffering_n and_o sure_o he_o be_v the_o same_o now_o as_o he_o be_v then_o and_o as_o he_o have_v say_v himself_o in_o as_o much_o as_o you_o do_v it_o unto_o my_o little_a one_o you_o do_v it_o unto_o i_o this_o he_o say_v when_o he_o know_v that_o his_o next_o appearance_n will_v be_v in_o his_o saint_n and_o certain_o those_o that_o persecute_v his_o saint_n even_o without_o a_o law_n when_o they_o have_v none_o and_o contrary_a to_o several_a law_n of_o england_n as_o several_a of_o the_o servant_n of_o the_o lord_n have_v suffer_v have_v christ_n servant_n be_v persecute_v by_o those_o that_o be_v in_o power_n former_o and_o they_o that_o make_v new_a law_n certain_o if_o christ_n and_o the_o apostle_n have_v be_v and_o be_v upon_o the_o earth_n they_o will_v have_v do_v the_o same_o unto_o they_o but_o all_o these_o thing_n the_o lord_n have_v take_v notice_n of_o and_o they_o be_v write_v down_o where_o they_o can_v be_v blot_v out_o and_o all_o the_o righteous_a blood_n that_o have_v be_v shed_v since_o abel_n and_o all_o the_o saint_n suffering_n in_o all_o age_n the_o lord_n have_v take_v notice_n of_o and_o all_o those_o christian_n that_o have_v suffer_v by_o those_o that_o have_v call_v themselves_o christian_n in_o these_o latter_a time_n where_o several_a have_v be_v imprison_v till_o death_n for_o the_o christian_a faith_n all_o this_o the_o lord_n have_v in_o everlasting_a remembrance_n and_o when_o he_o come_v to_o make_v inquisition_n for_o the_o blood_n of_o his_o saint_n and_o servant_n it_o will_v be_v a_o hard_a and_o a_o sad_a day_n for_o the_o actor_n and_o fighter_n against_o god_n so_o all_o you_o who_o be_v call_v christian_a magistrate_n beware_v what_o you_o do_v and_o keep_v your_o hand_n out_o of_o the_o blood_n &_o persecution_n of_o the_o innocent_a and_o let_v that_o which_o be_v past_o suffice_v for_o you_o will_v find_v it_o heavy_a
