A77941	A declaration of the sad and great persecution and martyrdom of the people of God, called Quakers, in New--England for the worshipping of God. Wherof 22 have been banished upon pain of death. 03 have been martyred. 03 have had their right-ears cut. 01 hath been burned in the hand with the letter H. 31 persons have received 650 stripes. 01 was beat while his body was like a jelly. Several were beat with pitched ropes. Five appeals made by them to England, were denied by the rulers of Boston. One thousand forty four pounds worth of goods hath been taken from them (being poor men) for meeting together in the fear of the Lord, and for keeping the commands of Christ. One now lyeth in iron-fetters, condemned to dye. Also, some considerations, presented to the King, which is in answer to a petition and address, which was presented unto him by the general court at Boston : subscribed by J. Endicot, the chief persecutor there; thinking thereby to cover themselves from the blood of the innocent.	Burrough, Edward, 1634-1662.	1661 (1661)	Wing B5994; Thomason E1086_4; ESTC R13926	22,607	32

banishment_n against_o they_o upon_o pain_n of_o death_n such_o be_v their_o dangerous_a impetuous_a and_o desperate_a turbulence_n to_o religion_n and_o to_o the_o state_n civil_a and_o

to_o the_o justice_n of_o the_o king_n and_o the_o good_a law_n of_o england_n for_o and_o because_o of_o their_o barbarous_a cruelty_n but_o as_o i_o have_v say_v we_o leave_v vengeance_n to_o the_o

they_o i_o say_v this_o be_v no_o just_a cause_n for_o the_o magistrate_n to_o stand_v in_o the_o passage_n with_o the_o point_n of_o the_o sword_n and_o therefore_o they_o be_v unjust_a in_o so_o

sword_n for_o hinder_v of_o as_o good_a subject_n as_o themselves_o to_o pass_v through_o the_o king_n dominion_n be_v not_o this_o derogate_a from_o the_o honour_n and_o authority_n of_o the_o king_n for_o the_o subordinate_a magistrate_n of_o new-england_n to_o usurp_v such_o authority_n over_o freeborn_a people_n of_o england_n as_o to_o prevent_v they_o from_o egress_n and_o regress_n in_o

the_o first_o even_o this_o stand_n in_o the_o passage_n with_o the_o point_n of_o the_o sword_n towards_o the_o innocent_a and_o impose_v great_a fine_n upon_o man_n that_o come_v to_o their_o

to_o be_v a_o wilful_a rush_n and_o their_o death_n be_v their_o own_o act_n and_o their_o blood_n be_v upon_o their_o own_o head_n concern_v which_o let_v it_o be_v consider_v they_o no_o more_o

but_o these_o petitioner_n do_v plead_v these_o quaker_n so_o call_v know_v there_o be_v a_o law_n proclaim_v against_o they_o sentence_n of_o banishment_n upon_o pain_n of_o death_n but_o they_o will_v not_o keep_v away_o but_o come_v again_o and_o run_v themselves_o upon_o the_o sword_n point_n and_o after_o this_o manner_n of_o argue_v they_o will_v make_v it_o appear_v their_o death_n be_v of_o themselves_o and_o their_o blood_n be_v on_o their_o own_o head_n but_o these_o poor_a evasion_n and_o favourable_a interpretation_n of_o their_o own_o cruelty_n ought_v not_o to_o cover_v they_o from_o the_o justice_n of_o god_n nor_o from_o the_o justice_n of_o t●e_v king_n for_o it_o be_v to_o be_v consider_v that_o where_o god_n command_v one_o thing_n and_o man_n another_o god_n ought_v to_o be_v obey_v rather_o than_o man_n and_o it_o be_v full_o believe_v by_o we_o that_o these_o sufferer_n do_v not_o go_v into_o new-england_n in_o their_o own_o cause_n but_o in_o god_n cause_n and_o in_o the_o motion_n of_o his_o holy_a spirit_n and_o in_o good_a conscience_n towards_o god_n they_o do_v rather_o suffer_v the_o loss_n of_o their_o own_o life_n for_o their_o obedience_n towards_o god_n than_o to_o disobey_v he_o to_o keep_v the_o commandment_n of_o man_n and_o this_o be_v the_o apostle_n case_n when_o they_o be_v

command_v to_o preach_v no_o more_o in_o the_o name_n of_o jesus_n do_v they_o at_o all_o obey_v it_o for_o fear_n of_o man_n and_o when_o the_o three_o child_n be_v command_v to_o bow_v to_o the_o image_n do_v they_o do_v it_o for_o fear_n of_o man_n or_o if_o they_o have_v dye_v for_o their_o disobedience_n of_o the_o king_n commandment_n can_v it_o have_v be_v say_v that_o their_o blood_n be_v upon_o their_o own_o head_n and_o that_o they_o rush_v themselves_o upon_o it_o and_o this_o be_v in_o part_n the_o like_a case_n that_o our_o friend_n suffer_v under_o the_o injustice_n of_o these_o petitioner_n who_o will_v now_o cover_v themselves_o like_o man_n of_o guilty_a conscience_n but_o the_o god_n of_o heaven_n will_v let_v they_o know_v one_o day_n and_o the_o king_n may_v just_o do_v it_o that_o the_o blood_n of_o our_o brethren_n lie_v upon_o the_o head_n of_o the_o magistrate_n of_o new-england_n and_o they_o be_v guilty_a of_o their_o cruel_a death_n for_o they_o put_v they_o to_o death_n not_o for_o any_o evildoing_a between_o man_n and_o man_n but_o for_o their_o obedience_n to_o god_n and_o for_o good_a conscience_n sake_n towards_o he_o again_o the_o petitioner_n say_v the_o quaker_n die_v not_o because_o of_o their_o other_o crime_n how_o capital_a soever_o but_o upon_o their_o superadded_a presumption_n and_o incorrigible_a contempt_n of_o

to_o return_v without_o leave_n from_o authority_n we_o shall_v have_v be_v glad_a to_o have_v say_v they_o shall_v not_o die_v in_o answer_n to_o this_o it_o be_v considerable_a 1._o what_o these_o

believe_v better_o of_o they_o than_o indeed_o he_o have_v cause_n and_o the_o superadded_a presumption_n and_o incorrigible_a contempt_n of_o authority_n what_o be_v it_o any_o more_o than_o that_o unjust_o and_o without_o reason_n they_o command_v they_o to_o depart_v or_o if_o they_o do_v not_o they_o shall_v be_v put_v to_o death_n when_o as_o no_o reason_n can_v possible_o be_v render_v

have_v say_v no_o sedition_n evil-dealing_a drunkenness_n lie_v nor_o any_o of_o these_o thing_n can_v be_v charge_v against_o they_o and_o therefore_o the_o law_n and_o commandment_n of_o
