THE Saints Liberty of Conscience In the New Kingdom of POLAND Proposed for the Consolation of the Distressed Brethren BRethren and Sisters in Tribulation who groan under the Yoak of an Aegyptian Bondage what shall we do for our Beloved Liberty in this the Day of our Persecution Pharaoh's heart is hardened against us and the Pagan Tories have prevailed against the Israel of the Lord. The Ark of the Covenant is Removed from us our Sabbaths and Holy Assemblies are interrupted by Phylistin-Infidels our Prophets Persecuted and though we are ready to burn with Zeal they will not allow us to keep Oyl in our Lamps In this Persecution of the Saints this Eclipse of the Ordinances what shall we do to walk in the Light shall we submit to Baal's Priests or stoop to the Golden Image of Heathenish Episcopacy or Pagan Pope Verily no. But let us in despight of Law and Bondage Fine and Imprisonment of the Brethren resolve to pursue our Christian Liberty in the free Exercise of our Spiritual Graces And what we cannot perform in Publick Assemblies let us do in private Cabals Coffe-houses Vaults and Cellers And since nothing can be dearer unto poor Christians then Liberty for the free Exercise of their Judgments and Conscience which not many Years ago cost so many Thousand Lives And considering that the little Finger of Apostacy from our first Principles of Sedition and Obstinacy would be a greater Burden upon our Tender Consciences than the Loyns of Episcopacy we being bound in Conscience to resist all Arbitrary Imposition cannot reasonably submit to any Law or Act for Prosecuting Dissenters And since many Noble and Worthy Lords and Commons of Poland out of their great Zeal and Stedfastness to the good old Cause have stood up and are still inclinable for Liberty we might have carryed the Cause in the last Dyet did not some Mercenary persons as the Observator Heraclitus and others Aliens and Strangers to the Common-wealth of Israel take up a Reproach against us as persons Reprobated into an Impossibility of Submission to Principles of Concord Loyalty Peace or Order in Church or State Therefore to convince these slanderers and to the end that a Consistence and Oneness of Judgment of the whole Dissenting Brethren and their Moderation may be known unto all Men and that the World may know there is a Spirit and Itch of Rule and Government as well as Sedition and Hypocrasy resting in us It is humbly proposed for the Solace and Comfort of all the Persecuted Brethren That the sole Power of granting Licences and Indulgences for Liberty of Conscience within the Kingdom of Poland may be Tested in the Persons undernamed for the Term of seven Years under the Farm Rent of an Hundred Thousand Pounds per Annum to Commence from the 24th of May next under such Rates and Qualifications as are hereafter specified Ricardo Baxter●ski Arch-Bishop of Poland Fr.
