by_o his_o right_a hand_n into_o his_o covenant_n of_o life_n and_o be_v teach_v of_o he_o and_o establish_v in_o his_o righteousness_n against_o who_o no_o weapon_n form_v shall_v ever_o prosper_v for_o who_o sake_n the_o immediate_a hand_n of_o god_n eternal_a power_n have_v be_v often_o see_v to_o be_v stretch_v forth_o against_o his_o and_o their_o enemy_n in_o divers_a manner_n of_o way_n who_o will_v not_o let_v his_o seed_n go_v free_a to_o offer_v to_o he_o a_o sacrifice_n in_o righteousness_n but_o lay_v heavy_a burden_n upon_o his_o people_n which_o they_o have_v long_o groan_v under_o and_o their_o oppressor_n be_v often_o warn_v as_o pharaoh_n be_v by_o moses_n before_o god_n judgement_n come_v upon_o they_o but_o when_o they_o still_o stop_v their_o ear_n and_o harden_v

again_o and_o again_o and_o have_v rebuke_v and_o overturn_v protector_n counsel_n and_o parliament_n that_o he_o may_v bring_v to_o pass_v his_o noble_a act_n which_o he_o promise_v to_o perform_v in_o the_o day_n of_o old_a by_o the_o mouth_n of_o his_o servant_n the_o prophet_n so_o let_v your_o ear_n be_v open_a if_o you_o do_v intend_v to_o stand_v and_o they_o which_o he_o have_v call_v and_o choose_v in_o these_o three_o nation_n of_o england_n scotland_n and_o ireland_n within_o this_o late_a year_n have_v not_o be_v want_v to_o lay_v before_o protector_n and_o parliament_n who_o

lawyer_n who_o have_v power_n give_v from_o they_o to_o lay_v more_o grievous_a burden_n upon_o the_o choose_a of_o god_n than_o all_o the_o oppressor_n that_o ever_o be_v read_v of_o before_o except_o the_o blood_n sucker_n in_o queen_n mary_n day_n yea_o the_o priest_n under_o a_o colour_n of_o law_n from_o protector_n and_o parliament_n have_v far_o exceed_v all_o the_o false_a prophet_n that_o ever_o be_v hear_v of_o before_o they_o in_o cruelty_n tyranny_n and_o oppression_n the_o which_o can_v be_v parallel_v which_o i_o hope_v you_o who_o now_o fit_v at_o the_o stern_a of_o these_o nation_n be_v not_o ignorant_a of_o therefore_o do_v the_o lord_n sudden_o appear_v even_o when_o protector_n parliament_n and_o priest_n have_v join_v together_o to_o take_v counsel_n against_o the_o lord_n and_o his_o anointed_n and_o in_o a_o short_a time_n rebuke_v and_o overturn_v they_o and_o their_o counsel_n who_o stop_v their_o ear_n at_o the_o cry_n of_o the_o oppress_a and_o will_v not_o regard_v the_o choose_v of_o the_o lord_n who_o he_o send_v often_o to_o they_o to_o try_v their_o heart_n and_o to_o warn_v they_o in_o love_n and_o tenderness_n while_o the_o power_n be_v in_o their_o hand_n to_o take_v off_o the_o oppression_n and_o exaction_n from_o his_o people_n but_o when_o they_o have_v refuse_v time_n after_o time_n the_o lord_n scatter_v they_o as_o chaff_n and_o dash_v all_o their_o glory_n in_o one_o day_n by_o bring_v to_o nought_o all_o their_o counsel_n which_o be_v not_o right_a in_o his_o sight_n and_o all_o this_o have_v be_v do_v by_o his_o right_a hand_n for_o the_o establish_n of_o righteousness_n in_o the_o land_n and_o for_o the_o preservation_n of_o his_o choose_a one_o who_o the_o gate_n of_o hell_n shall_v not_o prevail_v against_o theresore_n now_o be_v awaken_v and_o warn_v all_o you_o unto_o who_o the_o government_n of_o these_o nation_n be_v now_o commit_v let_v the_o dread_n and_o fear_n of_o god_n be_v

the_o oppression_n of_o tithe_n be_v the_o most_o cruel_a and_o antichristian_a especial_o to_o they_o that_o profess_v to_o live_v under_o the_o gospel_n what_o a_o violence_n and_o spoil_n have_v
