A80254	The Companions of good consciences: or an appeal of moderation, justice, and equity, or righteousnesse, peace and love (unfolded in the law of God and nature) to the consciencs [sic] of all, both high and low, rich and poor, of all societies and opinions, amoung all nations. With their mournful lamentation over the unrighteousnesses of men. Wherein men may as in a looking-glasse behold themselves, whether they bear the image of God in their power, places, judgments and callings; or the image of the Divel; for his servants ye are whom ye obey; whether of righteousness and obedience &c. to salvation: or of injustice, pride, envie and deceit, &c. to damnation. Herein the God of justice hath said, the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it, every one shall be recompenced according to his deeds done in the flesh, whether good or evil. Where then, Lord, shall the unjust, the oppressor, the proud, the covetous, the envious, and all manner of unrighteousness appear? Take it effectually to thy heart.		1653 (1653)	Wing C5582; Thomason E710_17; ESTC R207193	7,978	15

May it not be said of a Truth Whosoever despiseth the least of these and acteth and teacheth men otherwise Note it were better that a milstone were hanged about his neck and that he were thrown into the midst of the Sea Wherefore O ye Companions of good Consciences consider and ye Messengers of glad Tidings to Men of good will Go ye into the Country Cities Towns Villages and Habitations of this Land appear ye if possible in the hearts and hands of the mighty and powerfull ones in the hearts and heads of the Judges Officers and Rulers thereof in the hearts and lives of Superiours and Inferiours of the rich and poor appear ye in and among all people of all sorts knowledges and opinions declare and publish the everlasting Gospel infolded in your blessed and upright nature of Righteousness Peace and Love recorded and testified in the sacred Scriptures of our Lord Christ the Prophets and Apostles whosoever heareth and obeyeth that soul shall live and his life shall be precious in the sight of the Lord but whosoever disobeyeth resisteth regardeth not the same or hardneth his heart his name shall be rooted out of the land of the living for the Creation of God doth mourn over every mans unrighteousness and the earth doth grone being burthened with the disobedient man whose body is a habitation for foul noysome and unclean spirits therefore verily verily it will be easier for Sodom and Gomorrah in the day of Gods just judgment then for thee O England and thy off-spring If thou resist neglect despise or refuse the profered grace of the most high once spoken from heaven but now made manifest before thy heart and conscience the life of Righteousness Peace and Love Heaven and earth shall pass away but not one Iota or tittle of thy pure Word and upright Lawes O LORD GOD everlasting shall not pass away unfulfilled Be it O LORD from thy servants and handmaids according to thy Word and Will Saith the Scripture the Divels believe and tremble where then LORD shall that man appear or in what monstrous shape shall he stand in the presence of everlasting burnings whose life is not herewith reformed or whose conscience is not once moved or pricked at the Doctrine of thy Righteousness Let the earth which beareth him and the air wherein he doth breath bear witness against him before the seat of thy Judgment To him that hath power among men to plead and to do right or to him that is ordained a Ruler and a Judg for the punishment of Evil Doers and the praise of them that do Well Behold the words and counsels of the Lord by the mouth of his Prophet Samuel 2 Sam. 23.3 c The God of Israel said the God of Israel spake to me He that ruleth over men must be just ruling in the fear of God O Man honoured and in power among the sons of men raised up out of the dust of the earth by the power of the Almighty to be a living Creature that you might serve your Creator in this your generation not in Hyprocrisie but in Righteousness and true Holiness For thy sake O mortal man this hand-writing is ordained and published to thy view if possible to withdraw your mind with the cords of Gods unspotted Righteousness from the Acts of all Injustice and from the Guilt of Innocent blood or if it takes not places in thy soul that then in the day of Inquisition for works of Unrighteousness and for shedding innocent blood you may appear before the Pure and Just Majesty of God Angels and holy Saints without excuse Resist not resist not the voice of the Spirit of the Most High which forewarneth all people and Nations of the earth of their duty before the judgments and wrath intended be executed against them that they might obey saying To day even in this very moment if you will hear his voice harden not your hearts as many in power have done who have tempted the Lord of Life and Glory by Oppression Partiality Violence Cruelty Bloodshed c. on whom the Great and Righteous God hath recompenced as his enemies Indignation Blood and Destruction and hath given to many of them to taste the bitter cup which they in their unrighteousness have filled for others whereby many of them are and remain unto this day a scorn a contempt and a derision upon the face of Gods earth Wherefore O man uncloath thine Immortal soul from the corrupted Garments of all false Righteousness and appear in the Righteousness or Righteousness Life of JESUS CHRIST in the place of thy Judicature that the Truth and the Law of the LORD may proceed out of thy mouth hand in hand and not the Law of men Lusts in true and upright Judgment Disrobe thy self from Envy Malice Pride base Ends and Covetousness whereby in the Seat of Judgment the good Law of Justice is perverted and the true plain simple dealing and upright meaning therein circumvented and no further prosecuted then to serve the base self-Interest and corrupted wills of high and lofty spirited men Listen then O man with a right Christian mind to the secret voyce of the sacred Spirit of the most High and let it enter and pierce through and through thy most inward and hidden secret part untill it hath purified the living spark of thy immortall soul from all injustice and blood thirstiness Note which the water that washed the hands of Pilate could not do Remember then that the protection of the innocent from violence and oppression Note the distribution and ministration of Justice to Superiours and Inferiours ought in the sight of heaven to be executed without respect of persons Else O man remember thou art an unrighteous Judge in the seat of thy judgment Note which thou canst not hide from the through searching all-seeing eye of God therefore will be that formed thee and me even the preserver of men whose eyes are
