A44843	The record of sufferings for tythes in England the sufferers are, The seed of God, or, The assembly of his first-born, or, The first fruits unto God in England, in this age, who are called to be faithful, and have been found faithful, therefore have we suffered willingly the spoiling of our goods, for to us the truth is more precious then our estates, lives, or outward liberties, and thererfore hath the Lord accounted us first worthy to suffer for his name sake, and to be as lights in this deceitful generation : those which our suffering is a testimony against, is that priesthood which is light and treacherous, which in all ages the Lord raised up faithful witnesses against : ... : and in these dayes we may say, that they are worse then any troop of robbers, or any that preached for hire that ever went before them, as will appear in this book following, by their devouring vvidovvs houses spoiling mens goods, and destroying mens persons / given forth from those whom the Lord regards, who do tremble at his word, for which cause we are in scorn called Quakers ...

prophet_n i_o have_v see_v a_o horrible_a thing_n in_o the_o house_n of_o israel_n but_o now_o may_v we_o say_v we_o have_v see_v a_o more_o horrible_a thing_n in_o the_o land_n of_o england_n even_o

horrible_a thing_n be_v never_o see_v in_o israel_n for_o the_o priest_n robbery_n be_v not_o so_o great_a then_o as_o now_o for_o they_o do_v never_o so_o spoil_v man_n good_n nor_o destroy_v man_n estate_n nor_o imprison_v man_n body_n as_o now_o in_o england_n the_o priest_n have_v do_v so_o that_o they_o do_v not_o only_o exceed_v the_o false_a prophet_n of_o israel_n but_o also_o all_o the_o robber_n both_o in_o israel_n and_o in_o england_n have_v not_o spoil_v so_o much_o good_n and_o cattle_n as_o they_o have_v do_v within_o these_o five_o year_n some_o without_o any_o law_n or_o pretence_n of_o law_n and_o other_o by_o false_a oath_n and_o false_a witness_n and_o the_o law_n not_o permit_v a_o man_n to_o give_v in_o a_o true_a witness_n except_o he_o will_v swear_v contrary_a to_o christ_n command_n who_o say_v swear_v not_o at_o all_o which_o swear_v be_v as_o great_a a_o sin_n as_o bear_v of_o a_o false_a witness_n and_o by_o these_o thing_n do_v they_o seek_v to_o wear_v out_o the_o saint_n of_o the_o most_o high_a god_n first_o take_v away_o a_o man_n good_n and_o then_o cast_v he_o into_o prison_n as_o christ_n say_v to_o the_o saint_n so_o be_v it_o come_v to_o pass_v in_o these_o day_n also_o among_o we_o the_o devil_n shall_v cast_v some_o of_o you_o into_o prison_n and_o you_o shall_v have_v tribulation_n ten_o day_n if_o the_o devil_n now_o or_o his_o minister_n or_o messenger_n of_o satan_n be_v permit_v to_o cast_v some_o into_o prison_n or_o bring_v tribulation_n upon_o other_o do_v they_o therefore_o think_v that_o we_o will_v yield_v to_o the_o devil_n or_o to_o his_o messenger_n that_o we_o may_v be_v free_a from_o tribulation_n and_o imprisonment_n nay_o that_o be_v not_o the_o price_n of_o our_o redemption_n nor_o way_n of_o deliverance_n for_o that_o which_o be_v write_v beforetime_o be_v write_v for_o our_o learning_n which_o through_o suffer_v and_o patient_a continue_n in_o well_o do_v we_o have_v learn_v without_o which_o we_o can_v never_o have_v learn_v nor_o know_v christ_n word_n fulfil_v as_o they_o be_v therefore_o happy_a be_v that_o day_n wherein_o the_o everlasting_a love_n of_o god_n be_v break_v forth_o unto_o we_o in_o bring_v we_o his_o child_n prophet_n and_o holy_a apostle_n to_o rejoice_v over_o the_o false_a prophet_n and_o false_a teacher_n though_o they_o spoil_v our_o good_n and_o imprison_v our_o body_n yet_o we_o can_v rejoice_v over_o they_o and_o suffer_v the_o spoil_n of_o our_o good_n with_o joy_n know_v that_o this_o be_v for_o a_o testimony_n against_o they_o by_o which_o the_o reproach_n which_o the_o lord_n will_v bring_v upon_o they_o will_v appear_v to_o all_o man_n and_o this_o be_v so_o far_o from_o silence_v our_o testimony_n against_o they_o that_o it_o do_v daily_a renew_v it_o so_o that_o if_o all_o that_o which_o be_v past_a be_v forget_v their_o daily_a abomination_n do_v so_o increase_v that_o a_o testimony_n must_v be_v continue_v against_o they_o for_o of_o they_o the_o scripture_n be_v true_a which_o say_v evil_a man_n and_o deceiver_n wax_v worse_a and_o worse_o for_o the_o deceiver_n in_o former_a age_n be_v never_o so_o bad_a as_o by_o force_n to_o take_v away_o the_o good_n of_o those_o that_o will_v not_o hear_v they_o and_o take_v away_o their_o life_n by_o imprisonment_n as_o some_o have_v do_v because_o they_o can_v not_o pay_v they_o tithe_n as_o this_o record_n of_o the_o unjust_a suffering_n will_v make_v manifest_a our_o brethren_n the_o prophet_n have_v give_v their_o testimony_n concerning_o such_o prophet_n and_o priest_n which_o be_v profane_a and_o that_o the_o lord_n find_v folly_n among_o they_o as_o jeremiah_n say_v ier._n 23._o he_o have_v see_v a_o horrible_a thing_n among_o they_o they_o strengthen_v the_o hand_n of_o evil-doer_n that_o none_o do_v return_v from_o their_o iniquity_n and_o it_o be_v so_o now_o for_o these_o reason_n how_o can_v a_o drunkard_n return_v from_o his_o drunkenness_n when_o he_o see_v his_o priest_n drink_v and_o how_o can_v a_o swearer_n return_v from_o his_o swear_n when_o he_o see_v his_o priest_n swear_v and_o hire_v man_n to_o swear_v false_o as_o many_o have_v do_v in_o this_o nation_n and_o how_o can_v a_o covetous_a man_n return_v from_o his_o covetousness_n when_o he_o see_v his_o priest_n so_o covetous_a that_o he_o take_v away_o man_n good_n by_o violence_n which_o he_o have_v no_o right_a unto_o but_o only_o through_o covetousness_n make_v merchandise_n of_o people_n so_o how_o shall_v any_o return_n from_o such_o thing_n who_o be_v teach_v by_o they_o and_o how_o can_v a_o proud_a man_n return_v from_o his_o pride_n when_o he_o see_v his_o teacher_n lead_v he_o into_o it_o by_o example_n how_o can_v a_o envious_a man_n turn_v from_o his_o envy_n see_v his_o teacher_n envious_a and_o provoke_v other_o to_o wrath_n and_o envy_n so_o these_o reason_n prove_v that_o the_o prophet_n word_n be_v true_a that_o none_o can_v return_v from_o their_o iniquity_n by_o follow_v the_o practice_n of_o their_o priest_n and_o christ_n word_n be_v fulfil_v also_o matth_n 23._o which_o say_v they_o lay_v heavy_a burden_n

although_o they_o have_v a_o price_n and_o preach_v for_o hire_v yet_o they_o never_o do_v use_v such_o cruelty_n for_o their_o hire_n as_o these_o have_v do_v and_o exceed_v all_o the_o false_a teacher_n among_o the_o gentile_n which_o never_o be_v know_v to_o sue_v any_o at_o the_o law_n that_o will_v not_o hear_v they_o muchless_o to_o take_v from_o they_o seven_o time_n the_o value_n of_o what_o they_o demand_v but_o the_o lord_n do_v for_o a_o time_n let_v his_o child_n deep_o suffer_v to_o fulfil_v the_o testimony_n of_o truth_n in_o this_o thing_n that_o it_o may_v be_v record_v
