The Oppressed Prisoners COMPLAINT Of their great OPPRESSION With a loud Call to Englands Magistrates for the exercise of Impartial Justice before the Wrath of the Lamb break forth With a brief Relation of the unparallel'd Proceedings of the Court at the Old Baily the fifth day of the fifth Month 1662. REpent O England for what thou hast done To God's dear Lambs and to the holy One Oh hearken to the doleful hideous Cry Of God's dear ones that in your Prisons ly The Fatherless in thee Oh England cry And groan because of Bonds and Cruelty For great Oppression it doth much abound As touching Justice it cannot be found The Widows now indeed are made a prey Their bitter Cryes are heard still day by day And in the ears of God their Cryes do come They shall be heard by Christ the holy One. Wo unto England then when God shall plead The righteous Cause of Innocents indeed If England now should plead it is not guilty Of any crime that now is counted filthy What mean you then by halling every day God's Worshippers to Prison Yea I say What Law of God have we indeed offended That by your Souldiers we are apprehended And in your filthy Goals are fast secur'd And yet no Crime against us is procur'd What sin is done or Law have we offended That Justice stops and surely is suspended If that Offenders we indeed must be Wherefore in Court our Charge could we not see What is the Crime that we committed have Let 's hear we pary for Justice we do crave For we indeed as free-born English men For Justice cry which is our Right agen What Charge is laid against us in this day Save in the matters of our God I pray Is Liberty of Conscience now a Sin Tho promised by the WORD of a King Beware O Rulers then how you oppress God's Heritage indeed who do no less Than his most Royal Law strive to obay By meeting in his fear yea day by day Take heed oh Rulers all how you oppose The marked one of Christ whom he hath chose Oh tender as the Apple of his Eye Are they to him Harm them not least you dye The day will come that you will howl and cry Because of Torment and of Misery Repent oh then for what you have now done Ye Magistrates and hearken to the Son In London streets you needs must here a cry Of Cruelty and sore Captivity Offenders scape and just men apprehended Surely for this our God is much offended Nine score Prisoners in Newgate now doth ly For Justice Justice there aloud do cry Besides many Goals in England round about God's Heritage are Prisoners without doubt Most Poor and from our Wives and Children rended And here abus'd when we should be defended And when unto the Bar we there did come Looking for Justice but yet finding none We call'd to see accusers face to face But met with Violence to your disgrace When no accuser in your Court was found A Snare immediately you did propound And when in soberness we made our mone That no such thing in Conscience we could owne But Justice did there come for to behold Your Officers and Halberteers were bold To pull and hale poor Prisoners at the Bar While we aloud for Justice crying were Instead of shewing Justice in that day Back to the Goal they haled us away Where patiently through grace we do abide Till God the Controversie shall decide Take heed oh Rulers all and now give ear The coming of our Lord is very near Fulfil the righteous Law of God oh then In doing justice to the sons of men And learn to walk in humbleness of mind Then to God's chosen ones you will be kind And do them Justice while it 's call'd to day Before grim Death doth snatch you quite away For after Death to Judgement you must come And give account to God what you have done At his Tribunal Seat oh you must stand To answer to your Charge it is at hand Where Christ and Conscience will be your accuser Right Evidence will be without refuser Oh with the Adversary then agree Yea while you find him here now in the way Else dreadful will the day of Judgement be To Rulers and all Goalers they shall see Repent therefore before it be to late And labour to escape the cruel baite That Satan layes to catch your Souls therein And harm no more the Children of the King The Judgement day will prove most dreadful sure Repent O England better fruits procure For dreadful will the Lamb of God be then To all such Rulers that do rule for men Come let the Captives of the Lamb go free To serve there God and King with Loyalty 'T is not your Prisons Bars or Boults will scare God's Children dear or make them for to feare The spoiling of their Goods or Banishments also Will not make such decline the truth I know That do engage to meet now in God's fear According to his will they must appear His righteous Laws they must and will obey And to their Meetings go yea day by day Therefore take heed oh Rulers what you do Harm not Christs pretious flock though they are few For God himself it is that takes their part But rather to Gamaliel's Counsel hark Refrain from these men and let them alone For if their counsel be of God he 'l own What they shall do and with them he will go ' Gainst Rulers all who seek their overthrow This Remnant of the Lord whom he hath chose Fear then thus day by day still to oppose And careful be you fight not against him Least he in pieces tear you for this sin Therefore repent and hearken to his voice And set the Captives free that have made choice To follow Christ the Lamb of God indeed For follow him they must and will with speed His day of Vengeance is now drawing nigh Repent oh England and at Christ's foot lye The day is nigh that Vengeance it must come Decree'd by God the Father and the Son When the sixth Angel with 's Vial doth appear We may conclude that Jesus Christ is near Then wo to those that persecuters be Christs dreadful Wrath and Vengeance they shall see The Vials of God's Wrath on such will come For all the violence to Zion done Break off your sins by righteousness I pray Then happy shall you be as Christ doth say And reign as Kings with Christ upon his Throne If ye repent surely he will you owne For all the Violence to Sion done Repent O England and now kiss the Son Written by S.
