what shall I say my bowels my bowels I bear a burden for you which I cannot utter Oh! your deceitful flatterie Oh! how have you blasphemed God and hath ascribed to man whose breath is in his Nostrils that which belongeth not unto him especially if he stands in his unregenerated estate Had and have you not cursed ends in this Answer Are or were they so as you bespeak and do bespeak them to be One thing I assuredly know that the Powers since and the Powers present never said so of themselves whatever they thought and think as you said and say And all for the sake of your God which is your Belly Did not many of you to the Powers gone ascribe names to them that they never knew nor witnessed the Life in the least of whom you spake And do you not now ascribe to the chief Power that which I am sure he calls not himself As the expresse Image of the Heavenly Father Witnesse your Surry addresse to him signed by so many Doctors of D. St. of D. See it in the publick Intelligence given forth the 16. of the 6. Month D. D. St D. L. L. D. as you call your selves Now was ever any called the expresse Image of the Heavenly Father but Christ Jesus And think you the chief Magistrate of these Nations doth not see your ends and your flatteries in this and many other things I am perswaded when ever his mind comes truly to be turned to that which is just of God in him He will see you to be even so as I have said the greatest Sycophants and Flaterers that lives in these Nations Wo wo wo unto you for you are of that Generation upon whom all the Righteous blood from Abel even to this day have been charged Oh! dreadful God must it be so that thy decree which thou hast sealed must come to passe and be fulfilled in this Generation And must these fill up the cup of their great Grand-fathers Bonner and Gardener c.
