And FRIENDS TEll me how you came to be Christians and by what Law you were lead to Christ was it Queen Marys Law without you or Queen Elizabeths which you now Act by or was it the new Covenant which God made unto his people If these Laws before mentioned as Queen Elizabeths or Marys be now the scoolmaster when came they in force And when was Moses the just man the leader of the people out of Egypt and the Law which God gave to him disanulled And when was the Covenant broken between Moses and God did not he stay 〈◊〉 wrath and stand in the gap between God and his people and prayed to God for them and God heard his prayer and his wrath was turned away from Israel whom Moses lead out of Egypt to be tryed in the Wilderness as many are at this day blessed be God and Moses the Instrument which brought them thither and cursed be they who disobey the command of God given to Moses which is fulfilled in Christ the Elder brother and them that follow him who breaketh not the commands of God given to Moses but fulfilleth them in his sufferings which is now making up at this day Have a care what you do in fighting against God in his Members you who profess your selves to be Christians Magistrates persecutors of others who are members of Christs body who was persecuted by cheif Preists and Rulers who professed they had more knowledge of God then them they persecuted but their Condemnation was the greater for that they were sayers and not doers as many of you are at this day professing Christ in words but serving an hypocritical generation Woe to the Pharisees saith Christ and woe to the Christians now who profess Christ in words and in their works and practises deny him who make long prayers and their hands full of cruelty and blood and makes their seat a place of violence that Justice and Truth cannot be heard but the simple and upright in heart will learn Judgement and the prudent in Queen Elizabeth and Marys Laws who refuse the Law of God to be their Rule will God cut off though called Justices Cheif Preists or Rulers Look ye to it for the hand of Justice and true Judgement is lifted up that the heritage of God shall be known not by the Law of Queen Elizabeth or Mary which is now in hand but by Jesus the King of the Jews the Son of the living God the highest amongst men the greatest in the Consciences of all his people Swear not at all saith he who is come to be Lord in the Conscience and ●one else shall Rule over his Heritage though now it seems to be trampled upon by injustice and unrighteousness which is Acted by unrighteous men who are but as the drop of a Bucket and dust defore him Therefore dread the Lord ye Kings and Rulers for the Judgement is now seting up which respecteth not the ways of Kings because the heart of Kings are in the hand of the Lord who can turn them as a River of Water which way he pleaseth and their Life is in his hand as a span Therefore I say dread the Lord all Flesh for the day of the Lord hastens and is even at the doors To the truth of which I subscribe M.B. SEek not by Laws made in mans will The blood of Innocents to spill For if you do the Law of God With in your heart shall be the Rod Which shall you smite with stroaks full soar And you Condemn for evermore For your decrees which are unjust They shall not stand Gods Counsel must Professions words and prayers long He hath no pleasure in Without the life of righteousness All Scarifice is Sin The day is broke and God's just stroake On Hypocrites must come Their many words and Carnal swords Can't save them from their doom Amen THE END Printed for W.M. 1662.
