A28148	A certaine sound, or, An alarm sounded to the persecuting episcopalians in and about the cities of London & Westminster those bloody cities in many whoredoms, and to the rest of that sect throughout the nations who prophanely, bloodily, or maliciously now have, or heretofore have had any hand in persecuting the innocent servants and prophets of the most high, for the exercise of their pure conscience to the Lord God their creator.

good Apostle whose indispensable Commands and Doctrine should be Catholick however to us that are not our own but bought and re-redeemed with a price even the Blood of our immaculate Lord it sufficeth and therefore we dare not may not turn his immortal Law behind our backs nor tread his most precious Blood under our feet And I do believe in my heart most of you cannot but know before-hand even before you offer us an Oath that it is our avowed Principle not to swear at all and we dare not assume that unholy liberty or accursed dispensation to break that most sacred most royal and indispensible Law of our Redeemer as many of you lately did for your ungodly ends when against your Consciences and against your earthly King you sware To be true and faithful to the Commonwealth as it was then established without King or House of Lords Nay with us it is nothing so for the truly Faithful most gladly suffer the loss of all even to the Death rather than against their Conscience break one iota of their KING of Kings Command and he that wilfully breaks one is guilty of all even so he that is not faithful in a little shall never be made a Ruler in much So that I cannot say for what you do against us as also against your own souls and consciences as Christ said to the old Iews You know not what you do but I can truly say You know not or at least wisely consider not what will follow for these your most unreasonable outrages Indeed most of our present Adversaries are men of Oaths much addicted to Swearing and Cursing for and under which the good People of the Land do bitterly mourn and they themselves shall howl though at the present they trample under their feet as a thing of nought the Name of our God imploring him often to damn and sink them insulting over his Innocent Seed plowing broad deep and most inhumane furrows on the backs of his righteous People at their pleasure contrary to all Law and good Reason Not less than five or six thousand of us called Quakers imprisoned at a time since you called Episcopal Protestants came into outward power Thus have you killed us all your day long and exposed to outward ruine the Families of the Faithful in the Land making many Widows oppressing their Fatherless even as it were chopping them and theirs in pieces as flesh for your Cauldron according to the Edict of your own hearts lust yet in all this you are no Conquerours and which is far worse for all this you shall come to Iudgment For the Mower saith All flesh is grass And accursed is the man that trusteth in man or maketh flesh his arm And Lord if what 's already done and in their hearts to do be not enough to fill the measure up of those who on thy holy People for their pure Conscience do impose On me lay on thy pondrous weight give me but strength to bear permit them Lord my blood to drink and flesh to tear Yet Lord I 'm not i th' hast but on thy holy leisure cry How long how long O Lord my God most holy just and high For Lord I know deliverance to thy Seed nor evil to the City can be done Good or Vengeance wrought thereon but by thy holy self alone Therefore freely and with all my heart the manner way and final disquisition of these things I leave to thee my God who art the King of Kings transmuter and establisher of all things Vita Veritate omniaque E. B. THE END † When as the Blood of one innocent man is fully able to overthrow a Nation much more a hundred two prophane superstitious and hypocritical Cities * Besides at three other times very lately before you dragg'd out of that Goal and in like manner forced on shipboard eighteen innocent true men called Quakers whereof one of them through your most savage usage immediately as you had forced him on Ship-board fell down upon the deck and soon after dyed † In which one among your selves in no mean authority said he would not sail to Gravesend in to have her † For the denyal of both or either great are the numbers of us that have been imprisoned even several to Death and yet I have not known any Roman Catholick that hath suffered either Imprisonment or so much as loss of Preferment among you for refusing the latter whenas they do acknowldge a forreign Head and he is but a man and it is as well known that we Christians do nor ever did acknowledge any other Head of our Church but CHRIST alone so that if I were of an aggravating spirit I might say Why Us and not the Papists But it 's not my principle to irritate or stir up any against another to ease my self but I feel who you favour and who you hate * This could not be meant prophane swearing for under the Law that was forbidden viz. Thou shalt not take the Name of the Lord thy God in vain but Iudicial swearing was by the Law of Moses allowed
