A60436	The fruits of unrighteousnes and injustice Brought forth by John Bulkley, and Thomas Bowrman, and the rest of the rulers in Hampshire, against the innocent people of God called Quakers. Who in words and writings have often declared their unjust sufferings; as also at two sessions, and two general assizes holden at Winchester, requiring justice and equity, and their right and liberty in the nation; of the which being still most unjustly deprived, it is now publiquely declared, that they and others seeing their deeds of darknesse brought to light, may be warned, and learn to do justice, and to relieve the oppressed. Also the sounding voyce of the dread of Gods mighty power to all the judges and rulers of the earth, who rise up aginst the Lamb, and to all the host of powers of darknesse who fight against God. By the servants of Christ ... called Humphry Smith. Anthony Melledg. George Henderson. James Potter. Will: Baily. Daniel Baker. John Day. Winifred Newman.

release_v but_o not_o we_o and_o again_o any_o of_o their_o complaint_n will_v be_v hear_v by_o the_o ruler_n and_o their_o paper_n receive_v and_o read_v which_o be_v but_o just_a but_o why_o then_o shall_v we_o be_v deprive_v of_o that_o right_n every_o way_n which_o they_o have_v let_v the_o ruler_n of_o hampshire_n return_v i_o any_o good_a reason_n according_a to_o law_n for_o their_o

of_o the_o ruler_n that_o we_o send_v a_o messenger_n to_o john_n hook_n of_o bramshot_n and_o his_o clerk_n beat_v the_o messenger_n and_o we_o send_v another_o paper_n by_o other_o friend_n to_o
