Whitehead, George, 1636?-1723.; Harwood, John. To all you rulers, gentry, priests, and people. 1655 (1655) Wing W1944; ESTC R206645 17,128 27

that_o to_o yourselves_o which_o belong_v to_o god_n and_o this_o be_v he_o who_o reign_v over_o the_o house_n of_o jacob_n and_o be_v great_a than_o abraham_n let_v the_o heathen_n bow_v to_o he_o who_o have_v redeem_v we_o out_o of_o the_o heathenish_a nature_n for_o he_o will_v break_v the_o limit_n of_o the_o heathen_a and_o dash_v they_o to_o piece_n and_o all_o your_o limit_n who_o live_v in_o envy_n and_o rage_n in_o the_o heathenish_a nature_n and_o plead_v for_o their_o custom_n and_o will_v limit_v the_o righteous_a to_o walk_v in_o their_o step_n and_o to_o bow_v to_o your_o

and_o not_o the_o honour_n of_o man_n and_o therefore_o we_o can_v stoop_v nor_o bow_v to_o your_o pride_n nor_o conform_v to_o your_o vanity_n which_o be_v act_v in_o your_o will_n contrary_a to_o the_o pure_a law_n of_o god_n which_o respect_v no_o man_n person_n and_o here_o you_o act_v for_o your_o own_o end_n and_o punish_v the_o servant_n of_o the_o lord_n who_o for_o his_o sake_n can_v submit_v to_o your_o deceit_n and_o heathenish_a vanity_n you_o act_n contrary_a to_o the_o law_n of_o god_n and_o the_o law_n of_o the_o nation_n and_o for_o the_o lord_n sake_n act_v not_o neither_o be_v you_o send_v of_o god_n to_o this_o end_n therefore_o accuse_v we_o not_o for_o contempt_n of_o authority_n neither_o say_v that_o we_o be_v not_o subject_a to_o every_o ordinance_n of_o man_n for_o the_o lord_n sake_n for_o to_o every_o ordinance_n of_o man_n which_o be_v for_o the_o lord_n sake_n we_o be_v subject_a whether_o it_o be_v to_o supreme_a or_o unto_o governor_n as_o unto_o they_o that_o be_v send_v by_o he_o for_o the_o punishment_n of_o evil-doer_n and_o for_o the_o praise_n of_o they_o that_o do_v well_o but_o you_o who_o be_v send_v to_o judge_v of_o cause_n

the_o law_n of_o the_o spirit_n of_o life_n be_v make_v free_a from_o the_o law_n of_o sin_n and_o death_n and_o so_o will_v usurp_v authority_n over_o the_o conscience_n of_o the_o people_n of_o the_o lord_n who_o conscience_n be_v exercise_v by_o the_o light_n of_o christ_n which_o condemn_v the_o world_n with_o its_o deed_n and_o so_o you_o go_v beyond_o your_o limit_n to_o judge_n in_o thing_n pertain_v to_o god_n who_o be_v judge_n and_o lawgiver_n and_o so_o here_o you_o act_v in_o frowardness_n contrary_a to_o the_o light_n of_o christ_n in_o you_o and_o so_o will_v lord_n it_o over_o god_n heritage_n and_o here_o let_v the_o ruler_n among_o the_o heathen_a which_o christ_n speak_v of_o condemn_v your_o practice_n who_o say_v the_o king_n of_o the_o gentile_n exercise_v authority_n over_o they_o but_o you_o will_v exercise_v lordship_n over_o we_o who_o be_v not_o heathen_n but_o christian_n therefore_o you_o magistrate_n of_o this_o nation_n see_v who_o you_o be_v act_v for_o and_o what_o order_n be_v set_v up_o by_o you_o and_o who_o glory_n it_o be_v you_o seek_v and_o who_o it_o be_v that_o you_o seek_v to_o exercise_v authority_n over_o for_o when_o the_o judgement_n of_o god_n come_v upon_o you_o for_o act_v in_o your_o will_n and_o in_o your_o cruelty_n against_o the_o innocent_a you_o will_v witness_v they_o to_o be_v just_o by_o that_o of_o god_n in_o your_o conscience_n and_o your_o just_a reward_n and_o know_v that_o in_o as_o much_o as_o you_o persecute_v they_o who_o christ_n have_v send_v you_o persecute_v christ_n therefore_o now_o while_o the_o lord_n do_v not_o speedy_o execute_v his_o judgement_n upon_o you_o consider_v your_o way_n and_o see_v what_o you_o act_n and_o who_o you_o act_v for_o as_o you_o will_v it_o eternal_o answer_v the_o ground_n of_o john_n harwoods_n and_o my_o imprisonment_n that_o innocency_n may_v be_v clear_v and_o the_o wicked_a bear_v their_o burden_n upon_o the_o 30_o day_n of_o the_o 5_o month_n be_v the_o second_o day_n of_o the_o week_n i_o and_o my_o two_o brother_n jo_n harwood_n and_o richard_n clayton_n pass_v through_o a_o town_n call_v bury_n in_o suffolk_n about_o 5_o mile_n from_o halstead_n in_o essex_n where_o we_o be_v at_o a_o meeting_n the_o firstday_n before_o in_o the_o fear_n and_o service_n of_o the_o lord_n and_o pass_v by_o the_o steeple_n house_n in_o the_o say_a bury_n richard_n clayton_n be_v move_v to_o set_v up_o a_o paper_n upon_o the_o steeple_n house_n door_n and_o john_n harwood_n and_o i_o pass_v on_o a_o little_a before_o and_o see_v some_o people_n of_o the_o say_a bury_n come_v to_o richard_n clayton_n where_o he_o be_v set_v up_o the_o paper_n and_o so_o we_o pass_v back_o to_o they_o who_o stay_v he_o and_o be_v about_o he_o read_v the_o paper_n who_o can_v find_v nothing_o contrary_a to_o scriprure_n in_o it_o so_o john_n harwood_n and_o i_o be_v to_o speak_v a_o few_o word_n to_o the_o people_n there_o present_a in_o the_o name_n of_o the_o lord_n exhort_v they_o to_o turn_v to_o the_o lord_n from_o the_o vanity_n and_o wickedness_n they_o live_v in_o which_o several_a of_o they_o be_v make_v to_o confess_v the_o truth_n of_o which_o be_v declare_v to_o they_o and_o the_o mouth_n of_o many_o who_o be_v in_o rage_n be_v stop_v and_o so_o we_o pass_v from_o the_o people_n there_o present_v there_o come_v a_o

say_v he_o have_v order_n from_o the_o justice_n and_o so_o carry_v we_o two_o before_o harbert_n pellam_n call_v justice_n of_o peace_n in_o the_o say_a bury_n who_o office_n be_v for_o essex_n so_o first_o i_o be_v carry_v before_o he_o and_o he_o examine_v i_o and_o then_o john_n harwood_n of_o our_o name_n and_o country_n and_o abode_n where_o we_o have_v be_v and_o what_o money_n we_o have_v when_o we_o come_v out_o of_o our_o own_o country_n which_o we_o answer_v as_o we_o be_v move_v and_o have_v freedom_n and_o many_o other_o vain_a question_n he_o ask_v in_o his_o b●sie_n vain_a light_n mind_n which_o be_v not_o worth_a mention_v and_o when_o i_o be_v move_v to_o speak_v a_o few_o word_n concerning_o his_o rage_n and_o filthiness_n which_o he_o utter_v forth_o he_o say_v he_o

the_o constable_n and_o some_o other_o with_o he_o to_o one_o thomas_n walgrave_n who_o be_v call_v justice_n of_o peace_n at_o smalbridg_n in_o suffolk_n about_o half_a a_o mile_n from_o the_o say_a bury_n who_o office_n be_v for_o suffolk_n so_o when_o we_o come_v before_o the_o say_a walgrave_n we_o be_v carry_v into_o the_o house_n and_o they_o first_o examine_v richard_n clayton_n of_o his_o name_n and_o country_n and_o where_o he_o have_v be_v and_o what_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o his_o come_n into_o that_o country_n and_o who_o send_v he_o which_o he_o answer_v as_o he_o be_v move_v and_o some_o other_o vain_a question_n be_v ask_v he_o and_o when_o he_o have_v examine_v he_o he_o then_o examine_v i_o of_o my_o name_n and_o country_n and_o where_o i_o be_v bear_v and_o how_o long_o i_o have_v be_v acquaint_v with_o richard_n clayton_n and_o where_o i_o first_o meet_v with_o he_o which_o i_o answer_v according_a to_o my_o freedom_n and_o some_o other_o vain_a needless_a
