in the wetting if ye will neither endure the Fullers scouring nor the Refiners Purifying you cannot expect to offer a Pure Sacrifice in Righteousnesse Consider Friends that God is now provoking you to jealousie by a People which upon a Scripture account are not a People as he did Israel of old Rom. 11. 11. And will you be as stupid as they Have they not lain by you Have you not seen their Courage their Constancy and their Boldnesse both in their Sufferings and their Meetings And can you give out so easily Have we not a far better ground to Suffer then they Have we not Larger Promises than they For Eye hath not Seen Ear hath not Heard neither hath it ever entered into the Heart of Man to conceive what God hath laid up for them that Love Him Oh I beseech you Consider if such things be laid up for them that Love Him Let us examine our Wayes and see whether we have Loved Him his Laws his Statutes his Ordinances and his People as we ought to have done Have we had that Love to the Lord his People and the whole Creation as we ought to have had Hath the Conversion of Souls been esteemed in our Eyes Hath the Establishing and Confirming of Souls been delightful to us Have we laid forth our selves to make the Wayes of King Iesus Amiable Lovely and Desirable to all men Have we by our Constancy in our Assemblings together according to the Requirement of the Lord gone on with Christian Courage and Boldnesse not Fearing the Wrath of the King O Friends Consider whether the Love of King Iesus who laid down his Life for you that you might Live to Eternity or the Wrath of King Charles hath been most taking upon your Affections The Breach of whose Proclamation take it at the worst that can be imagined could but bring you to the Grave that cannot contain nor hold you long For the Sea shall give up the Dead that are in it And Death and Hell or the Grave shall Deliver up the Dead that are in them And all shall be judged every Man yea every Man according to his Works And at which time if our Wovks are not found Perfect before God the second Death must be our Portion Oh! That they were wise that they understood this that they would Consider their Latter End Deut. 32. 29. O Consider what your Actings have been may not the Lord Christ say to you as once he said to his Disciples Mat. 26. 40. What could you not watch with me one hour What could ye not hold it out with the Foot men how think ye you will be able to run with the Horse men And may not I say to you in the words of our Apostle Gal. 5. 7 8. You did Run well who did hinder you that ye should not obey the Truth This perswasion cometh not of him that called you who said Mat. 5. 34. Swear not at all Oh Consider Friends the saying of our Apostle in vers 9. How that a little Leaven Leaveneth the whole Lump How many eyes are and have been upon you and such as you are that do thus undervalue the words of your Master King Iesus What can be expected from poor Souls such as are but Tender Lambs of Iesus O I beseech you have a care for you that have known much from you God will require the more O then have a Care and Consider that so ye may give up your Account with Ioy and not with Trembling Oh that they were wise but to set Eternity before their eyes that so they might please God not at all fearing the faces of Men. Yet herein I would not be mistaken yea I say again I would not herein be mistaken for I do not in the least perswade to Rebellion against King Charles to Gratifie King Iesus for that is not agreeable to his Law But I would have them in obeying King Iesus to obey King Charles and in obeying King Charles to obey King Iesus As thus I would have them obey King Iesus in all his Laws Statutes Ordinances and Appointments not Fearing King Charles nor his Proclamations And yet I would have them according to the Requirement of that Servant of King Iesus Rom. 13. 7. To Render to King Charles Custom Tribute Fear and Honour I would have them Obey King Iesus and to be so careful to avoid Forswearing as not to Swear for that Yesterday and this to Day and the other to Morrow for to Day and against to Morrow as it is at this day with Thousands But I would have them so to avoid the danger of Forswearing in every Case as that I would have them in no Case to Swear at all according to Mat. 5. 34. Iams 5. 12. The which in my Fannaticks Testimony against Swearing is cleared And yet I would have them according to the Requirement of King Iesus to be as faithfull in their Yeas and Nays to King Charles yea and Faithfuller too than those his Subjects that Ram Dam Rend Tear Swear and Forswear I would also have them so fear King Iesus as that I would not have them fear King Charles for Rulers are not set up for a Terrour to good Works but to the Evil Rom. 13. 3. Wilt thou then not be afraid of the Power do that which is good and thou shalt have praise of the same for he is a Minister of God to thee for good but if thou do that which is Evil be afraid for he beareth not the Sword in vain for he is the Minister of God a Revenger to execute wrath upon them that do Evil Rom. 13. 3 4. But here me-thinks I hear multitudes will be ready to object and say If King Charles was set up for this end and had the Sword of Iustice for this Cause put into his hands why is it as it is with us at this day Why are we in several Goales and Dungeons in most Counties in England when we are found no evil Doers when they have nothing against us in any thing save in the matters of our God who saith by his Son Swear not at all Nay why are and have been several Imprisoned that have sworn And why have some Persons been forced to pay Fees as Traytors though they have Sworn before they were put into Prison and not taken from Meetings neither but from their own habitations if the Magistrate as the Scripture saith be set up to be a praise to them that do well why were we thus rudely Hurryed Why cryes out several in Newgate are we thus cruelly Imprisoned by Richard Brown and kept in without Tryal Why were we cry out some thirty of them committed to Newgate the 10th Day of Abib Exod. 13. 4. or the first Month from our peaceable Meeting out of Beech-Lane by the City Marshal and the rude Rabble and saw not the face if a Magistrate till the Eighteenth day after that we were carryed before him the tenderest of whose Mercies are meer Cruelty
