rebellion and by some others imprudence to keep up our Meetings when we are forbid yet such is our respect to the Law of God and Christ our Lord who died for us that we cannot but obey him rather then men and indeed do esteem our Meetings and the Ordinances of God more dear to us than our Estates Relations nay than our very Lives what ever may be thought of us or how ever we may be presented by any Neither do we doubt but that the Lord who is our Light and Salvation and the strength of our Life will enable us to endure the Cross and dispise the Shame what ever it be that may he inflicted on us for this we know that the Captain of our Salvation Jesus to whom we look went before us in suffering and if they persecuted the green tree much more will they persecute the dry and if they called the Master of the house Beelzebub how much more shall they call them of his houshold Mat. 10.25 And if they said of him Christ He hath a Devil and is mad why hear ye him much more will they say of his followers they are Phanaticks What our Lord went before us in he in his rich and free Love hath made us willing for to follow after and doubt not but he will give us more strength and make us yet more willing to suffer for his sake what Tribulations soever we may meet with having a good Conscience and that is to us a continual feast void of offences towards God and towards them knowing they cannot justly accuse us of any thing that we have done without it be that we are faithful and constant to what we know of Christ and will not submit to any thing that is of humane Invention and contrary to the Light of our Consciences and in this we can rejoyce and be exceeding glad because great is our reward in Heaven it being a choice favour from the Lord who accounteth us worthy to suffer shame for his Name and though we may suffer more than yet we have done yet this we know that God will at length arise and plead our Cause and judge between Us and our Persecutors Then let such take heed the Lord will one day avenge his Elect that cry day and night unto him though he bear long with them I tell you saith Christ he will avenge them speedily Luke 18.7 8. For the day of vengeance is in his heart and the Year of his Redeemed will come and though there be none to help nor none to uphold yet his own Arm shall bring Salvation Isa 53.4 5. Let the Lords people therefore Labour to be found in a patient waiting for the coming of Christ He that shall come will come and will not tarry and then he will give a reward to every one according to their works with whom there is no respect of Persons in judgement whose is the Kingdom the Power and the Glory now and for ever Amen POSTSCRIPT VVE would not be understood by any that we send out this Cry because we are wearied with what we have suffered or afraid of what we may further suffer but that we might shew to the World that our Sufferings are altogether contrary to Law and Humanity it self For did they no more than were Law we should be silent and willing with much rejoycing to endure and suffer it in that blessed Cause of the Gospel which we are not ashamed of nor of the Testimony of the Lord Jesus for whom we are willing to suffer the loss of all things esteeming it a very choice Mercy that the Lord should accept of such poor nothing and unworthy Creatures as we are to bear a testimony for him against Idolatry and Prophaneness THE END
