A40340	Honest, vpright, faithful, and plain dealing with thee O army of the common-wealth (so called) without flattery, in true unfeigned love to thee with something more particularly unto the officers of the army, and those that join with them in the outward government of this nation : wherein truth, uprightness, and equity is declared for, and deceit, wickedness, oppression, and tyranny is declared against / by one who loves the prosperity of truth, and the good and well-being of all creatures, George Fox the younger.	Fox, George, d. 1661.	1659 (1659)	Wing F2005A; ESTC R37833	11,867	16

of_o the_o outward_a peace_n of_o these_o nation_n which_o be_v under_o your_o command_n and_o take_v heed_n of_o harken_v unto_o such_o who_o in_o the_o king_n time_n cry_v he_o up_o &_o run_v to_o he_o to_o give_v they_o a_o law_n to_o settle_v they_o in_o their_o worship_n &_o then_o again_o in_o the_o parliament_n time_n run_v to_o they_o &_o cry_v they_o up_o beg_v a_o law_n to_o settle_v church-government_n as_o they_o call_v it_o &_o then_o in_o the_o late_a protector_n time_n cry_v they_o up_o &_o petition_v unto_o they_o with_o many_o feign_a flatter_a word_n and_o beg_v a_o law_n of_o they_o to_o settle_v they_o in_o their_o worship_n now_o these_o be_v the_o deceitful_a worker_n who_o teach_v for_o filthy_a lucre_n &_o be_v time_n observer_n who_o through_o covetousness_n and_o feign_a word_n make_v merchandise_n of_o the_o people_n &_o these_o quench_v the_o spirit_n and_o despise_v prophesy_v and_o change_v with_o the_o time_n &_o government_n let_v they_o be_v never_o so_o contrary_a and_o these_o be_v neither_o true_a to_o god_n nor_o man_n but_o be_v man_n pleaser_n and_o such_o serve_v not_o the_o lord_n jesus_n but_o their_o own_o belly_n and_o these_o want_v the_o power_n of_o god_n run_v to_o the_o ruler_n for_o a_o outward_a power_n to_o uphold_v they_o these_o be_v whore_v from_o the_o life_n of_o god_n in_o their_o own_o particular_n and_o these_o seek_v to_o stop_v the_o life_n of_o god_n wherever_o it_o appear_v therefore_o take_v heed_n of_o uphold_v or_o set_v they_o up_o by_o a_o outward_a law_n lest_o you_o become_v the_o beast_n mark_v that_o which_o carry_v the_o whore_n which_o be_v to_o be_v take_v with_o the_o false_a prophet_n and_o the_o old_a dragon_n the_o father_n of_o all_o unrighteousness_n and_o cast_v alive_a into_o the_o lake_n now_o the_o true_a worship_n and_o religion_n which_o stand_v in_o the_o spirit_n and_o in_o the_o truth_n must_v be_v set_v up_o and_o establish_v and_o uphold_v by_o the_o power_n immortal_a and_o not_o by_o a_o outward_a law_n but_o let_v your_o law_n stop_v that_o in_o all_o wherever_o it_o appear_v which_o wrestle_v with_o flesh_n and_o blood_n and_o fight_v with_o the_o creature_n about_o religion_n for_o this_o spirit_n can_v never_o make_v manifest_a the_o true_a worship_n &_o religion_n neither_o will_v it_o suffer_v other_o to_o do_v it_o who_o have_v the_o spirit_n of_o god_n if_o it_o can_v stop_v they_o by_o a_o outward_a law_n or_o force_n so_o that_o which_o fight_v wrestle_v and_o strive_v with_o the_o creature_n about_o religion_n be_v not_o for_o christ_n but_o be_v ante_fw-la against_o christ_n &_o the_o apostle_n who_o wrestle_v not_o with_o flesh_n &_o blood_n but_o with_o the_o power_n of_o darkness_n &_o with_o the_o spiritual_a wickedness_n in_o high_a place_n that_o so_o wickedness_n &_o deceit_n may_v be_v destroy_v in_o the_o creature_n and_o that_o the_o creature_n may_v be_v preserve_v and_o their_o weapon_n be_v not_o carnal_a but_o spiritual_a but_o they_o that_o cry_v out_o to_o the_o ruler_n for_o a_o outward_a law_n to_o uphold_v their_o worship_n &_o religion_n they_o war_v not_o with_o the_o spiritual_a weapon_n but_o with_o the_o carnal_a and_o these_o destroy_v the_o creature_n but_o can_v destroy_v the_o wickedness_n &_o these_o have_v quench_v the_o spirit_n in_o their_o own_o particular_n and_o these_o will_v quench_v it_o in_o other_o &_o will_v not_o suffer_v he_o that_o have_v something_o reveal_v unto_o he_o to_o speak_v but_o cry_v to_o the_o magistrate_n or_o to_o the_o rude_a multitude_n for_o help_v and_o so_o flee_v to_o their_o carnal_a weapon_n and_o those_o be_v stir_v up_o by_o their_o teacher_n some_o of_o they_o oft_o time_n beat_v those_o that_o have_v the_o truth_n to_o declare_v in_o their_o synagogue_n &_o hale_v they_o out_o &_o rail_v on_o they_o &_o spit_v upon_o they_o and_o sometime_o buffet_n stock_n whip_n &_o imprison_v and_o mangle_v the_o creature_n &_o so_o mar_v &_o deface_v the_o workmanship_n of_o god_n and_o this_o have_v be_v the_o work_n of_o antichrist_n in_o all_o age_n when_o truth_n have_v appear_v against_o deceit_n and_o such_o can_v true_o say_v truth_n have_v prevail_v on_o their_o part_n when_o they_o have_v thus_o beat_v and_o hale_v and_o stock_v and_o whip_v and_o imprison_v the_o creature_n but_o violence_n there_o at_o that_o time_n have_v prevail_v by_o which_o they_o that_o have_v have_v the_o truth_n to_o declare_v oft_o time_n have_v be_v stop_v from_o speak_v it_o so_o let_v none_o do_v violence_n to_o one_o another_o person_n or_o estate_n but_o let_v your_o law_n take_v hold_v on_o they_o that_o will_v do_v so_o but_o let_v they_o alone_o in_o their_o profession_n and_o then_o it_o will_v soon_o appear_v who_o be_v in_o the_o truth_n and_o who_o be_v minister_n of_o christ_n and_o of_o the_o spirit_n for_o those_o that_o be_v in_o the_o spirit_n of_o truth_n will_v assure_o prevail_v over_o they_o that_o be_v in_o the_o spirit_n of_o deceit_n and_o this_o will_v be_v manifest_v soon_o if_o there_o be_v no_o violence_n do_v to_o they_o who_o be_v in_o the_o spirit_n of_o truth_n thereby_o to_o stop_v they_o from_o speak_v the_o truth_n and_o then_o the_o truth_n will_v reach_v unto_o the_o witness_n of_o god_n in_o people_n conscience_n &_o then_o many_o who_o can_v not_o discern_v the_o truth_n while_o there_o be_v such_o strive_n &_o fight_n with_o the_o creature_n will_v come_v to_o see_v and_o feel_v it_o and_o then_o truth_n shall_v prevail_v and_o deceit_n shall_v fall_v where_o ever_o it_o be_v and_o what_o cover_v soever_o it_o have_v get_v it_o shall_v be_v rip_v off_o and_o he_o that_o be_v in_o the_o spirit_n of_o truth_n and_o abide_v in_o it_o shall_v overcome_v all_o false_a spirit_n now_o i_o know_v you_o be_v not_o altogether_o ignorant_a how_o that_o the_o life_n and_o good_n of_o several_a in_o this_o nation_n have_v be_v make_v a_o
