I told Robert Barwicke if he had been upon Earth when Christ told the Jews They were of their Father the Devil he would have sent him to Prison Therefore all you who own this to be of God be not hasty to speak or act thus because it is agreeable to Scripture for a bare literal Imitation will not carry forth in time of Trouble neither will you find benefit by it For it is only the Spirit of Truth that gives righteous Judgment wait for the movings thereof And on the contrary you that talk of the Scriptures Fear to speak evil of those who are brought into the Life and Practice of them as the Holy Men of God witnessed lest the Scriptures condemn you This I was moved to write to fore-warn all of Extreams And now further top declare how I was dealt with at that place called Sessions Robert Barwicke declared Lawyer-like That he could do no otherwise with me than he had done seeing he had never seen my Face before To which I answered I had been with him upon Occasions and often I had seen him and he me Then he said I might not affront him I answered I might not suffer him to Lie but tell him of it Then after saying what he could against me he at down saying That he being concerned in the business would leave it to them others called Justices who asked me Whether I would submit or Traverse I answered In the Will of God I was and what he suffered them to do with me they might Then one of them asked me What Call or Occasion I had to that place I answered The same the Prophet Amos had to go into the King's Chappel to cry against the Altar in Bethel and Paul into the Synagogues as his manner was Acts 17.16 Robert Barwicke hearing this rose up in great Rage not heeding what he had said That he would leave it to them and begun to speak his Imaginations Priest-like wherein was no Truth and to say that he perceived and thought it was my Practice to disturb their Ministers as he called them and proceeded further using these Speeches Sirrah Sirrah Then I bid him see if these words did not come from an envious spirit But he went on with Threats that if I did so any more he would send me to the House of Correction and have me soundly Whipp'd whereupon these words were spoken O Tyranny Then he begun to take witness that I called him a Tyrant but they could not agree and so left it For one of them called a Justice said I said O Tyranny Then they asked me again whether I would submit or Traverse I answered them as before Then they concluded that they should get no other answer Then I asked them What Law I had broken And said If I had broken a Law they might lay the Penalty upon me But they would not shew me any Law that I had broken Then I asked them If the Prophets were Railers But they said that they might not discourse with me Then they caused me to be taken away And thus were they suffered to act And this is their time wherein they rule over others to their own hurt Herein they were seen and taken notice of by many both Officers Soldiers and others the Event I leave unto Him in whose Power I am who is present The next Day he who had the Charge of me brought to me two Papers called Mittimus's whereby I was by the Court ordered back again Prisoner to York Castle where I am in their Bonds but at Liberty in the Spirit of the Lord Where the Spirit of the Lord is there is liberty 2 Cor. 3.17 This is witnessed Praises to the Lord God Almighty for evermore And all you who are guided by the Spirit of the Lord with whom I am one Praise the Lord with me who am a Well-wisher to the Souls of all Known by the Name of Roger Hebden A Warning from the Lord to Magistrates AWake awake look about you see what you are a doing You that profess your selves to be Christian Magistrates What are you doing with Christ's Appearance Do you not cast such into Prison who are brought into the Life and Practice of the Prophets Christ and the Apostles If you say They will not be subject to Authority but act contrary to Law So said the Jews of Christ We have a Law said they and by our Law he ought to dye But Pilate knew that it was out of Envy that the Jews did it What think ye was he clear of his Blood although he took Water and washed his Hands and said He was Innocent To that which is Pure of God in every one of your Consciences I leave it to judge you who am a Lover of Souls and a Lover of Justice It is not my desire nor the desire of any other that fears God that Sin should be unpunished when it is brought forth That is your Place and that is your Duty use the Sword put into your Hand for that end and the Blessing of God will accompany you But take heed lest you in your Wills or out of Zeal to prevent Sin do put in Practice those Laws whereby the Innocent are brought to suffer and so you come to be Actors of Sin instead of preventing it This I was moved to write to put you to a Search in your Selves to see how your Profession and Practice does agree and herein to you I have cleared my Conscience who am a Friend to Truth and a Witness against Deceit For which I am now Prisoner in York Castle known by the Name of Roger Hebden Copies of this was sent to those called Justices at several Sessions in Yorkshire and the City of York about the 16th of the 11th Month 1654. A Letter written to Friends in the Truth after I came to Prison before I was had to the Sessions at Wetherby This was to Friends in the East and North Ridings of Yorkshire before the 16th Day of the 11th Month 1654. from York-Castle O my dear Hearts THE Remembrance of you is precious my Bowels are even sweetly refreshed therewith even by every of you that are Faithful to the Lord in obeying the Measure of Grace received God Almighty bless you preserve you and increase the Knowldge of himself in every of you to his Praise and Glory who alone is worthy for ever and ever And all of you as Members one of another be faithful in your places watching one over another in Simplicity of Heart with a single Eye and in Love to re-call those that go astray from the Simplicity from that Spirit of Truth in them which ought to guide So the Simple will be delivered out of the Snare of the Crafty and so you will be altogether in the Unity serving God in Spirit which is the Service well-pleasing to him wherein you will come to witness the Rejoycing and Abiding therein the continuance of that Love which cannot be expressed In which Love I salute
