There is a certaine people said Haman Scattered and Dispersed among the people in all the Provinces of thy Kingdom and their Lawes mark they did Woship another God are divers from all people neither keep they the Kings lawes which was that all should bow to Haman much like that law That none should meet together in Spirit to Worship the Lord. And this is my case who hath been a prisoner 18 weeks nothing laid to my charge but the keeping on my Hat to Richard Brown Mayor of London so called whether such thing ought to be suffered by the King and his Councel the Lord be Judge Therefore consider ye Judges is this the way of the Judge of all the Earth or the way to Establish the Kings Throne nay the Lord sees it and will plead our innocencie who hath said The Kings Throne is Established in Righteousness Or could the Courtiers pertaining to King Darius be clear of Daniells being cast into the Lyons Den then you may be clear of so many thousands of us being cast into Prisons and Dens as it is at this day Read Dan. 6.5 Then these Presidents and Princes said We shall not find any occasion against this Daniel except we find it against him concerning the Law of his God Then they came and told the King The Governours and Princes the Councellers and the Captaines have consulted together to Establish a Royal Statute and to make a firm Decree That whosoever shall as any Petition of any God or Man save of thee O King for thirty dayes he shall be cast into the Den of Lyons Wherefore King Darius Sealed the Writing and the Decree Now Daniel did not forbear worshiping his God as we do not forbear meeting together because of the Kings Decree therefore came his Enemies and accused Daniel as our enemies accuse us that we are dis-regarders of the King and his Law Now little did Darius know what designe these men did pursue that their envy was rather against Daniel then to honour the King though they did pretend it was for his honour that they made such a Royall Decree as they called it But when the King heard these things how was he displeased with himself and set his heart on Daniel to deliver him and he laboured tell the going down of the Sun to deliver him but could not Now let all Flatterers be warned and Proud men take heed how they incense KING CHARLES against the Lords people or endeavour to destroy them whom the Lord hath blessed and let them know they are but men and our God whom we serve and worship notwithstanding the Kings Command to the contrary is the living and true God and his Arm is not shortned but he is the same as ever he was in the dayes of Mordecay Esther 3. or in the dayes of Daniel Daniel 6.22 And therefore the Sons of Jacob shall not be consumed though they may suffer persecution many dayes yet shall they not be forsaken but out of all Tribulation shall the Lord deliver them and save them from the hand of the violent man And now to your consideration by whom we suffer whether as evil doers or well doers the Lord is Judge and knoweth right-well I propound these few Questions in the fear of the Lord. First Whether to observe Dayes and Times were not the sin of Manasses who filled Jerusalem with Innocent blood and whether to Imprison spoile our bodyes and goods for opening our shops and working on the six dayes be not contrary to the Command of God which saith expresly Six dayes shalt thou labour and do
