persecute_v and_o oppress_v the_o seed_n of_o the_o lord_n in_o its_o arise_v and_o appearance_n and_o people_n that_o in_o thy_o conscience_n be_v witness_n against_o thou_o that_o thou_o be_v leave_v without_o excuse_n and_o also_o that_o in_o thy_o conscience_n the_o light_n be_v witness_n against_o thou_o that_o thou_o have_v build_v the_o sepulcher_n of_o the_o prophet_n and_o garnish_v the_o sepulcher_n of_o the_o righteous_a and_o white_v they_o over_o with_o fair_a word_n and_o promise_n and_o thou_o say_v if_o i_o have_v be_v in_o the_o day_n of_o my_o father_n i_o will_v not_o have_v be_v partaker_n in_o the_o blood_n of_o the_o prophet_n and_o yet_o thou_o be_v fill_v the_o measure_n of_o thy_o father_n iniquity_n and_o the_o same_o wrath_n curse_n and_o judgement_n of_o god_n wait_v to_o be_v pour_v upon_o thou_o except_o thou_o repent_v and_o be_v warn_v in_o time_n many_o warning_n have_v thou_o have_v from_o the_o lord_n that_o in_o thy_o conscience_n can_v witness_v by_o the_o hand_n of_o they_o that_o be_v and_o have_v be_v persecute_v by_o thou_o and_o imprison_v by_o thou_o but_o thou_o have_v cast_v they_o behind_o thy_o back_n as_o all_o the_o persecutor_n in_o all_o age_n have_v do_v before_o thou_o who_o by_o the_o power_n of_o the_o lord_n be_v destroy_v and_o now_o o_o fair_a say_v people_n of_o england_n by_o the_o same_o power_n thy_o destruction_n come_v for_o truce_n break_v with_o the_o lord_n and_o let_v that_o in_o thy_o conscience_n judge_n if_o thy_o judgement_n from_o the_o lord_n be_v not_o just_a upon_o thou_o which_o will_v appear_v in_o the_o day_n of_o thy_o misery_n and_o overthrow_n though_o thou_o for_o a_o while_n tread_v above_o it_o but_o if_o thou_o have_v not_o total_o put_v out_o the_o light_n and_o if_o any_o spark_n of_o light_n be_v in_o thou_o thou_o may_v see_v thyself_o go_v the_o way_n of_o all_o bloody_a persecutor_n into_o perdition_n for_o ever_o and_o ever_o except_o thou_o repent_v and_o remember_v that_o thou_o be_v once_o more_o warn_v and_o no_o more_o warning_n can_v i_o promise_v thou_o whether_o thou_o will_v choose_v or_o refuse_v and_o again_o hear_v the_o word_n of_o

the_o lord_n because_o of_o the_o cry_n of_o the_o oppress_a and_o the_o many_o prisoner_n which_o contrary_a to_o my_o law_n thou_o have_v imprison_v for_o no_o other_o cause_o but_o because_o they_o can_v worship_v thy_o idol_n god_n which_o thou_o have_v set_v up_o and_o the_o idol_n god_n which_o thou_o have_v set_v up_o be_v many_o for_o thou_o have_v promise_v many_o fair_a promise_n to_o take_v away_o idolatry_n superstition_n and_o oppression_n and_o all_o law_n over_o the_o conscience_n of_o man_n that_o i_o the_o lord_n may_v be_v worship_v according_a to_o my_o own_o will_n which_o i_o have_v make_v manifest_a in_o my_o child_n conscience_n and_o that_o my_o gospel_n even_o the_o word_n of_o eternal_a life_n may_v have_v free_a passage_n through_o thy_o land_n o_o england_n but_o now_o i_o see_v the_o sin_n of_o jeroboam_n which_o cause_v israel_n to_o sin_n be_v hold_v up_o by_o thou_o yea_o the_o high_a place_n which_o be_v in_o thou_o o_o people_n of_o england_n and_o the_o priest_n of_o thy_o high_a place_n bear_v witness_n before_o my_o face_n against_o thou_o which_o thou_o have_v set_v up_o contrary_n to_o my_o will_n which_o i_o have_v make_v manifest_a in_o every_o man_n conscience_n and_o for_o what_o end_n do_v jeroboam_n set_v up_o these_o high_a place_n and_o those_o priest_n be_v it_o for_o this_o end_n that_o he_o be_v afraid_a that_o the_o people_n of_o israel_n shall_v return_v to_o the_o temple_n at_o jerusalem_n to_o worship_n which_o then_o be_v command_v of_o god_n for_o his_o people_n to_o worship_n at_o and_o now_o o_o people_n of_o england_n thus_o say_v the_o lord_n who_o pity_v thou_o when_o thou_o little_a in_o thy_o own_o eye_n and_o put_v a_o sword_n in_o thy_o hand_n to_o cut_v down_o idulatry_n high_a place_n usurp_a priest_n make_v of_o the_o base_a of_o the_o people_n and_o corrupt_a law_n wherewith_o they_o do_v tyrannize_v over_o the_o conscience_n of_o my_o people_n and_o pride_n and_o respect_n of_o person_n which_o then_o i_o let_v thou_o see_v to_o be_v before_o destruction_n and_o thou_o be_v bear_v but_o now_o have_v turn_v thy_o sword_n against_o they_o who_o be_v bring_v out_o of_o those_o thing_n and_o witness_v against_o they_o and_o now_o i_o the_o lord_n thy_o god_n in_o visit_v thou_o and_o thy_o work_n have_v find_v unfaithfullnesse_n in_o what_o thou_o promise_v to_o i_o in_o the_o day_n of_o thy_o calamity_n and_o unfaithfulnesse_n in_o thou_o in_o what_o i_o look_v for_o at_o thy_o hand_n for_o now_o i_o see_v that_o thou_o o_o people_n lift_v up_o do_v hold_v up_o the_o very_a same_o high_a place_n and_o as_o bad_a a_o generation_n of_o priest_n as_o thy_o forefather_n do_v and_o the_o same_o usurp_a law_n over_o man_n conscience_n and_o the_o same_o persecute_v law_n even_o the_o law_n of_o papist_n wherewith_o to_o imprison_v my_o servant_n yea_o not_o respect_v person_n be_v make_v a_o law_n for_o thou_o to_o imprison_v many_o of_o my_o servant_n and_o many_o of_o my_o servant_n be_v imprison_v by_o thou_o because_o they_o can_v break_v the_o command_n of_o christ_n and_o many_o of_o my_o dear_a child_n be_v imprison_v by_o thou_o because_o they_o can_v pay_v fee_n for_o be_v imprison_v and_o keep_v many_o month_n without_o any_o just_a law_n break_v as_o at_o this_o day_n there_o be_v many_o witness_n of_o my_o dear_a servant_n who_o witness_n thou_o do_v refuse_v because_o they_o abide_v in_o my_o doctrine_n and_o dare_v not_o swear_v at_o all_o but_o their_o witness_n have_v i_o receive_v against_o thou_o because_o i_o know_v their_o suffering_n and_o their_o cry_n be_v come_v before_o i_o and_o this_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o thou_o hold_v up_o these_o thing_n even_o the_o sin_n of_o thy_o forefather_n which_o make_v england_n sin_n for_o which_o i_o will_v plague_v thou_o with_o all_o my_o storm_n thou_o people_n of_o england_n be_v afraid_a that_o if_o liberty_n be_v grant_v to_o worship_v i_o according_a to_o my_o will_n which_o i_o have_v make_v manifest_a in_o my_o child_n conscience_n that_o then_o the_o heart_n of_o people_n which_o thou_o will_v have_v to_o serve_v

thy_o pride_n will_v famish_v and_o wither_v and_o thy_o oppression_n will_v cease_v whereby_o a_o great_a part_n of_o thy_o wickedness_n be_v uphold_v and_o thy_o honour_n will_v depart_v from_o thou_o and_o return_v to_o i_o and_o thy_o respect_n of_o person_n which_o thou_o be_v so_o mad_a on_o which_o i_o have_v and_o for_o ever_o forbid_v and_o deny_v and_o for_o fear_n that_o those_o and_o the_o like_a thing_n shall_v come_v to_o pass_v upon_o thou_o to_o that_o in_o thy_o conscience_n which_o be_v of_o i_o which_o thou_o hate_v do_v i_o speak_v which_o will_v witness_v i_o and_o condemn_v thou_o for_o thy_o stiffe-neckednesse_a that_o this_o be_v the_o cause_n that_o thou_o do_v so_o torment_v my_o tender_a lamb_n and_o because_o thou_o do_v these_o thing_n and_o will_v not_o

plead_v with_o thou_o by_o and_o with_o the_o fire_n of_o my_o jealousy_n till_o thou_o that_o will_v not_o obey_v my_o council_n which_o i_o do_v give_v in_o thy_o conscience_n be_v utter_o lay_v waist_n and_o desolate_a and_o i_o will_v blot_n out_o thy_o name_n as_o i_o have_v blot_v out_o the_o name_n of_o thy_o forefather_n who_o hold_v up_o the_o same_o thing_n that_o thou_o do_v and_o i_o will_v get_v i_o honour_n in_o destroy_v thou_o as_o i_o get_v i_o honour_n in_o destroy_v thy_o father_n before_o thou_o and_o thou_o shall_v know_v that_o i_o be_o the_o lord_n god_n who_o
