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 ...

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

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
