their day and said unto them it is the King of Israels pay and know I cannot go over under so hath the Lord commanded me when I come by water and my pay and purse would scarce before given two pence This is the truth Jehovah is my witness now when I had don burning the people did rage so that I was fain to go to boat with my sword drawn and one Rowle Tichburn with me and I borrowed an old sword for him to have in his hand but he knew nothing at all onely my safty from the people that did stone us in the boat and I cannot go without a a gard by reason of the heathen rage and imagine a vain thing then I came thinking I had my petition but it was left on the table at home and I came into the Loby and spake to Master Hull that he would help me to deliver it and he said any scivile curtesie he would do but I must give it to a Member and I said I know no men their presently I went down by the Lords command for he said their was not enough for all should hear that the godly might fear Then I went down unto the house and had two mess of broth and two pots of Ale for Tichburn and my self then I was commanded by Jehovah for to go and comming to the door the door-keeper of the Loby pressed me betwixt the door and the wall whereupon I came in I sliped of my cloak and drew my sword and ran at him so hard that the point came within a foot of the hand and would not enter then I swange my sword round about to have killed all that was nigh me then I run to the door and strock it with my foot and then they gat hold on me and threw me down and took away my sword and committed me now since God hath shewn me his meaning which is thus he gideth and governeth all things and caused me to preach his wrath that is kindled against you all to cut you off clean from the earth onely for a small seed of his spirit detracted it but as Jehovah lives if they separate not themselves you shall all fall together because the Lord caused me to preach to them the danger they are in with the hazard of my life Lift not up your heads ye rebellious sons of wrath for thus saith Jehovah that I shall with that sword and my stasse although it would not cut them I shall fight with an hundred of Baals champions I mean the chief Covenant-breakers those that robbed the souldier of his due earned wages or them that felloniously stole the faith of the Nation with the promting prating Priests and by this combate the whole earth shall know who is God Thau Rex Israel let Jehovah raign over all rebellious flesh But my hand shall not touch any of you except as is stated and for this let all people that fear the Lord praise the Lord that hath tryed his Anointed unto the death and yet hath kept his hand from the life taking away of any one and though my hands shall be clean you shall not escape Jehovah hath sworn it therefore you that fear the Lord assembly not your selves for lucre nor any end for if ye will not hear by Jehovah when God doth bring the man slayer he shall make no difference because you have been warned and ye harden your necks against the holy God that would save you Take warning take warning take warning fear tremble and depart their place and company least ye be partakers of their plagues Now all people see your liberty by my president amongst wicked men your lord rulers by their own unjust laws they sent for me to examine me before a Committee and some friends were at prison and went along with me but because of their wickedness they are fearful of every winde and according to their wills establish for our English laws no man must hear me examined but one or two pressed in The first queries were frivolus as where I lived and had I not been at Rome and my clothes did did trouble them and they asked me who gave me money for my clothes I answered by their asking that question they were free from charity for they were to clothe the naked and feed the hungry Then they did aske why were my sleeves so laced I said it was the Glob in the foure Spheres holdment and I told them that they were no wiser then before The next was why was the cullor green I said it was the ancient Forrester of England all people take notice and I did and would claim the whole Forrest land of Albian now named England in my predecessors Barron Toni then people crowded in and they were afraid to sit any longer I appeal unto their consciences Then at night when none could know I was sent for and no man but themselves there then they asked me where they left then came the Spirit of God upon me and gave me both courage and wisdom for God never fails if you one him surely depend then I said I would declare the Lords word my command faithfully and then they could not have any power to harm me but if I should keep back one word then their spirits would enter upon me to harm me And this is the word from Jehovah that came unto Theauraujon Taunijah now named from Jehovah Thau Rex Israel These words I said before them the Lord commanded me to come down saying GO SLAY THE RECELS AGAINST ME for they have broken their Covenants and stand with their swords in their hands saying we will break all our Covenants with the Lord unto whom our souls stand bound Then I said Lord will thou slay the godly with the wicked Then one of the Members of their own making said what Covenant have we broken Answ Then I said thus saith the Lord do not ask what Covenant have you broken but what one of all them Covenants your souls stand bound unto God have you kept Then they answered and said this man can preach yea said I five times three times at Eltham and two times at Lambeth and now your Funeral Sermon for thus saith the Lord ye are accursed before Jehovah and he will cut you off root and branch for have you not condemned to death and your selves raign by the same law Then they said Why is my Lord Protectors wayes perverse and accursed before God Thus God hath shewn me that ye all are but my Lord Protector minde you all and the rest are but my Lord Protector for know you all that except you write his coppy you cannot sit here Then they said how should they know it was the word of God that I spake Thus said I shall ye know it if my words do not smite you and ye are righteous men then my words are from the divel wright me this down this is mine then the Chairman wrote the words I repeating them Thus shall you
