the_o true_a desire_n of_o we_o who_o be_v your_o friend_n and_o country_n man_n and_o lover_n of_o the_o soul_n of_o all_o mankind_n dear_a people_n we_o know_v the_o generality_n of_o you_o be_v not_o unacquainted_a with_o the_o cruelty_n which_o many_o of_o we_o who_o be_v call_v quaker_n have_v patient_o endure_v through_o the_o strength_n of_o our_o god_n by_o the_o priest_n magistrate_n

magistrate_n and_o the_o common_a sort_n of_o people_n also_o against_o the_o innocent_a suffer_a people_n of_o the_o lord_n and_o their_o false_a accusation_n affirm_v by_o oath_n have_v not_o be_v

the_o same_o town_n which_o give_v it_o he_o yet_o notwithstanding_o the_o say_a william_n carr_n be_v send_v to_o the_o goal_n upon_o the_o account_n aforesaid_a viz._n for_o disperse_v treasonable_a

by_o he_o to_o cast_v he_o into_o prison_n upon_o a_o account_n which_o they_o can_v not_o prove_v against_o he_o so_o they_o mention_v no_o more_o the_o treasonable_a paper_n but_o tell_v he_o then_o if_o he_o will_v take_v the_o oath_n of_o allegiance_n he_o may_v be_v set_v at_o liberty_n but_o he_o conscientious_o refuse_v be_v send_v back_o to_o prison_n again_o where_o he_o lay_v down_o his_o life_n not_o long_o after_o and_o leave_v his_o wife_n with_o six_o fatherless_a child_n and_o notwithstanding_o the_o aforesaid_a priest_n have_v persecute_v he_o unto_o death_n yet_o he_o seek_v still_o to_o ruin_v his_o widow_n and_o fatherless_a child_n for_o he_o have_v cause_v sarah_n carr_n widow_n the_o wife_n of_o william_n carr_n to_o be_v arrest_v by_o a_o writ_n and_o bring_v from_o she_o six_o fatherless_a child_n to_o the_o county_n goal_n in_o northampton_n where_o her_o tender_a husband_n lay_v down_o his_o life_n have_v no_o other_o thing_n against_o she_o but_o for_o milk_n which_o tythe-milk_n as_o he_o call_v it_o come_v to_o the_o value_n of_o ten_o shilling_n or_o thereabouts_o but_o he_o never_o demand_v it_o of_o she_o but_o cause_v she_o to_o be_v arrest_v as_o aforesaid_a and_o bring_v to_o the_o goal_n where_o she_o at_o present_a lie_v for_o the_o testimony_n of_o a_o good_a conscience_n and_o john_n whitefield_n priest_n of_o bugbrook_n and_o the_o aforesaid_a cruel_a bloodthirsty_a priest_n richard_n harris_n of_o kistingbery_n these_o two_o priest_n often_o instigate_v john_n willoughby_n call_v justice_n to_o act_v as_o he_o have_v do_v against_o the_o innocent_a people_n of_o the_o lord_n and_o when_o his_o soldier_n have_v come_v to_o a_o meeting_n by_o the_o aforesaid_a john_n willoughbies_n order_n they_o have_v especial_o call_v for_o some_o friend_n by_o their_o name_n who_o dwell_v at_o the_o town_n of_o bugbrook_n and_o kistingbery_n and_o take_v they_o away_o from_o among_o many_o say_v they_o must_v have_v such_o

thomas_n dent_n of_o kistingbery_n miller_n those_o two_o priest_n as_o we_o understand_v have_v give_v information_n against_o those_o three_o innocent_a person_n who_o by_o the_o soldier_n be_v bring_v to_o northampton_n before_o jo._n willoughby_n call_v justice_n who_o commit_v they_o to_o the_o goal_n where_o the_o afore-named_n joseph_n gammage_n and_o richard_n ashby_n seal_v their_o

so_o both_o these_o priest_n be_v guilty_a of_o blood_n we_o can_v but_o mention_v they_o among_o the_o aforegoing_a cruelty_n of_o the_o magistrate_n of_o this_o age_n and_o generation_n which_o they_o have_v act_v against_o the_o innocent_a people_n of_o the_o lord_n who_o they_o seek_v to_o oppress_v and_o lay_v heavy_a burden_n upon_o yet_o our_o hope_n and_o trust_n be_v in_o the_o lord_n our_o god_n who_o we_o know_v be_v the_o live_a god_n and_o will_v arise_v in_o his_o fierce_a wrath_n and_o will_v avenge_v himself_o upon_o his_o adversary_n and_o the_o adversary_n of_o his_o choose_a people_n but_o this_o be_v our_o desire_n unto_o the_o lord_n in_o the_o behalf_n of_o we_o and_o his_o enemy_n that_o they_o may_v return_v from_o the_o evil_n of_o their_o do_n before_o the_o lord_n appear_v in_o his_o fierce_a wrath_n who_o will_v bring_v destruction_n upon_o they_o at_o unaware_o except_o they_o repent_v the_o end_n
