A34919	Something spoken in vindication & clearing of the people of God called Quakers that they have not forfeited their liberty in the declaration, nor made ill use of the kings indulgence, by any plots or murders or insurrections, in a pretence of worship and serving of God : the Lord is witness, and you have tried us, and found that we are none of those people the kings proclamation takes hold upon, but ought to have our meetings.

upon_o the_o people_n of_o god_n call_v quaker_n that_o their_o meeting_n be_v seditious_a and_o unlawful_a and_o conventicle_n and_o for_o they_o to_o cumber_v themselves_o with_o arm_a man_n &_o

that_o can_v lift_v up_o a_o hand_n against_o any_o man_n and_o then_o further_o it_o be_v say_v in_o the_o last_o proclamation_n to_o the_o intent_n that_o none_o of_o those_o person_n who_o have_v

mark_v this_o be_v to_o they_o who_o make_v a_o ill_a use_n that_o have_v be_v the_o murderer_n it_o do_v not_o reach_v to_o the_o people_n of_o god_n that_o be_v call_v quaker_n but_o to_o they_o that_o make_v the_o ill_a use_n which_o be_v murderer_n oh_o that_o magistrate_n and_o justice_n shall_v not_o see_v this_o they_o that_o have_v make_v the_o ill_a use_n must_v not_o be_v strengthen_v

be_v the_o murderer_n and_o raiser_n of_o insurrection_n upon_o who_o and_o for_o which_o cause_n come_v this_o proclamation_n therefore_o it_o be_v they_o that_o have_v make_v the_o ill_a use_n of_o

be_v to_o murder_v which_o be_v riotous_a or_o unlawful_a and_o this_o be_v the_o thing_n that_o the_o proclamation_n be_v against_o that_o such_o meeting_n be_v to_o be_v stop_v who_o be_v so_o so_o this_o do_v not_o touch_v the_o quaker_n but_o the_o person_n aforesaid_a that_o be_v the_o murderer_n and_o the_o person_n aforesaid_a be_v not_o to_o meet_v but_o in_o their_o own_o parochial_a

therefore_o not_o disturber_n of_o the_o peace_n and_o they_o be_v not_o they_o that_o make_v the_o division_n but_o be_v in_o the_o power_n of_o truth_n that_o will_v bring_v all_o up_o to_o god_n neither_o be_v the_o quaker_n such_o as_o have_v gather_v up_o sword_n and_o arm_n together_o and_o go_v out_o to_o kill_v people_n but_o they_o be_v out_o of_o all_o such_o design_n though_o many_o

hardly_o meat_n can_v be_v get_v to_o they_o and_o many_o sick_a and_o some_o dead_a in_o prison_n oh_o this_o linger_a martyrdom_n by_o which_o many_o be_v almost_o pine_v and_o smother_v in_o

look_v upon_o as_o contemner_n and_o disturber_n of_o their_o government_n but_o nevertheless_o the_o quaker_n be_v hale_v out_o of_o their_o house_n by_o arm_a man_n and_o never_o no_o warrant_n

the_o proclamation_n but_o you_o afflict_v those_o who_o have_v not_o make_v a_o ill_a use_n of_o it_o and_o suffer_v man_n to_o come_v without_o warrant_n contrary_a to_o proclamation_n and_o
