Selke I acknowledge once I was but a babe in Christ and was fed with heavenly mike but now God my Father He hath made me a spirituall Archer strong and stour For to confound the Devill and all his rout For in my Quiver I have Arrowes store I am fure a thousand and many more And some are short and some are long But my bow is stedfest and exceeding strong For my bow it hath a double string Which I would gladly shew my Royall King For God hath made me able with my Verses and Prose For to conquer all our Foes And I am perswaded if my Royall King did but know my art He would give me leave to play my part For the divine power and glory of Gods Word That is my Bow and Arrowes and my Sword For to wound those darke angels on the head Which all this miserie have bread But if the darke angels you doe not know In plaine and briefe I will you show For they are the Clergie I plainly see and understand Which have deceived the whole Land And that is the maine cause as you all shall see Why our King and Parliament cannot agree But by the divine power of Jesus Christ the glorious and precious stone The children of Almighty God they shall be gathered all in one For Jesus Christ he doth tell you in the 12 Chap. of Iohn and the 20. vers And I if I be lifted up from the earth I will draw all men unto me But how and by what meanes will Christ draw all men unto himselfe I say by the powerfull preaching of his Word for the true spirit of God hee can draw but one way and that is to Christ and to the New Testament which is our glorious Gospel of love and peace that by the divine power thereof bloody Warre may end and cease for Gods word doth tell you plainly in the 1. Chapter to the Colos and the 19. vers it pleased God our Father that in Christ should all fulness dwell and having made peace through the blood of his Cross for to reconcile all things unto himselfe And now ye Lords Knights and Burgesses in Parliament and all ye Committees Captains and Commanders and all yee Clergy Magistrates and Church-wardens by Gods help I have made it plainly appeare Jesus Christ was crucified on the Cross for to draw his people into the true band of love and peace and now the God of love and peace who hath brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus that great Shepherd of the sheepe make you all perfect to do his will working in you that which is well pleasing in his sight through the Divine power of Jesus Christ our Lord Heb. 13.20 And now I say again Jesus Christ he is the great Shepherd of the Sheepe and there is but one true and perfect God there must and shall be but one Religion one Shepherd and one Sheep sold Father Son Holy Ghost they have made me a powerfull instrument for to call and gather the Sheepe into the true fould that Gods love power and glory you may behold and now my Royall King I do humbly beseech your Majesty for to come to Knowle and I wil show you by what meanes all our enemies we may controle for God hath made me able to show you a plain and speedy way for the establishing of true peace and sound Religion and for the setting forâ—h of Church Government in such a plain and powerfull way that the high Court of Parliament and all their Synod of Divines Classes Committees and Commanders and those that are called by the name of Anabaptists shall not be able to convince it for now by Gods help I will boldly say if I cannot plainly prove and maintaine what I spake why then let me be hanged or burned at a stake But ye Lords Knights and Burgesses in Parliament for the Commandements you do say there are 10. and now I say true love and sound peace that is the greatest Commandement and for that cause I hope you will all joyne with me and say Amen FINIS
