Chap. in the days of Esther and it runs parrallel directly with prosecutors in these days what do we read that proud Haman had or could justly charge the seed of Israel with as was evil in his days but that Mordecai the Jew fat in the Kings gate and would not bow the knee to one who was of the flace of Amaleck Est 3.1 who were the first of the Nation that arose against Israel when they were coming out of Aegypt's bondage Exod. 17 14. whom God had formerly Cursed whom the Lord said be would have warr with for that Cause from generation to generation and he would blot out his name from under heaven Haman I say being great with the King and being filled with envy laid false accusations against an innocent people and said to the King that it was not for the Kings profit to suffer them to live the King being willing to gratifie his flatterers granted his r●quest and sealed the decree not only against righteous Mordecai but against the whole Seed of Israel 2 Thes 1.6 that dwell amongst them but then it was A right●●● thing with the Lord to render tribulation to them that troubled his People Esther 7.10 as it hath been and will be ever for the same tree that Haman commanded to be built to hang Mordecai on the the Lord caused it that he himself was hanged thereon and those who by that unrighteous law had power given them to have destroyed Israel Chap. 9. the Lord brought it so to passe that they were slain themselves as thou may read Esther so what hath the People of the Lord who in scorn are called Quakers done that is evil against the proud Hamans in this day hath any of them made Insurrection Plot or Conspicies or any ways gone about to subvert the Government or have they any wayes wronged any man in their outward goods or good name or have they been a people that have lived contentiously with their neighbours or in pride idlenesse vanity or excesse let Gods witnesse in the hearts of all people that have known us answer or have we been a people that have made a profession of scriptures and lived contrary unto them in our lives and conversations let those who are our persecuters and that are found doing so make it appear to the Nation if they can but is not that the greatest and cheifest cause of our persecutors wrath against us that we cannot respect their persons nor give them flattering titles Job 23.21 22. because the scriptures which they professe forbids us and saith it is sin nay though our persecuters have never so much favour or honour from the King and have what their hearts can desire yet what doth all avail them while they see poor righteous Mordecais brought before the judgment seats John 5.44 and cannot bow the knee to that which is out of the faith of Christ and that seeks honour or receives honour one of another and so those that walks according to the holy Scriptures are with such men counted of evill behaviour and so at all times suffers under them for well doing and not for evill and such men who are filled with envy against us have to satisfie their bloody intents falsly accused us before those that are in authority and by that means have procured that law to be made signed and sealed against us for peaceable meeting together to worship the Lord in spirit and in truth and so by the execution of that unnatural Law to root us out of the land of our nativity and so to race out the seed whom the Lord hath raised in this northern Island Jer. 23.8 but unto our God we make our appeal he having raised in us the same spirit that was in righteous Mordecai and that was in the three Children that we know Our God is able to deliver us and he will deliver us Dan 3.17.18 and in him alone we wait for deliverance and he never yet failed any that were by wicked men designed to be universally rooted out for their obedience to the Lord in any age as before mentioned as we are by you at this day but if he should not deliver us be it known to you our persecutors that we will not be of that Religion that you are of to professe God Christ and Scriptures and walk and practice the clean contrary way to what you professe and what the scriptures declare of Nay contrary to what your book of Common Prayer speaks of for that saith that you should forsake the Devill and all his works and keep Gods holy will and commandments Read your Common-Prayer see whether your practice be according and walk in the same all the dayes of your lives and that you should hurt no body by word or deed but should be true and just in all your dealings that you should bear no malice nor hatred in your hearts that you should do to all
