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

Remember Robert Norwoods Sail and then the publick Faith at 1 s. a pound and 1 s. and 4 d. are there not brave rates yea Traytors for Gods holy Covenant to be bought and sold by perjured persons the poor lands must trust and cheat Thus when it was let fall thus long your Emmissio did purchase it and the summes are gathered into one great sum Then you state your land where you please and cause a false value to be set on it that for one pound that cost you one shilling four pence the value of four pound nay some 4 l. this is villany and out of villany you must erect us a form of God-serving No you shall not lay your wicked yoke upon our neck God will deliver us from ye accursed men Thus God hath delivered you into the hands of them that seek your lives the Lands Liberty Take notice people I see the cause stated upon which the effect doth proceed which is this judgement The chief Actors in this conspiracy against the Lord God Almighty shall be taken and their gold and silver put in pots and they staked in the middle of their stuff and so be burnt to ashes their wives and children slain with the sword and if with childe the childe the spaun of their lust broyled on the coals their kindred slain ascending and descending their Lands return unto the Common-wealth to pay the Souldier and the publick Faith that they have so traiterously betrayed This is the Word from Jehovah upon the Rebels And further their whole Lands in this cause to be accounted felons goods and to return by the Statute of Trover and Conversion And thus saith God All Lands and Conveyances that have been passed by these men shall return to be disposed by the Commonwealth as it is true Lord over all that it did imploy out of which the poor shall have a sufficiency that they may praise Jehovah for his mercy but for my part not one penny for I go for FRANCE and to ROME and so to JERUS ALEM onely my Title the whole Forrest-Lands named Albion now named England as Heir apparent unto King Stephen and in my Title was Richard the second and in my holdment from BARRON TONI the ancient Forrester of England and likewise our Title of ABBAR GAUVENI in which Title lies my LORD PROTECTOR's holdment unto his true Line but the LORD hath cut him off and his issue onely in Clapool is something found As I am a man my soul mourns but GOD's Word must be wrote THAU
know it to be Gods word if my words do not smite you and ye are righteous men then my words are from the devil Then I cryed aloud and said if any man did fear God let him praise God that had tryed me even to death and I had not slain any man and now my hand should be clean from the blood of them but God would raise Butchers then they said who were the Butchers then I said I will tell you who they are they are the souldiers whom you have cozened and cheated your armies shall divide and they shall hew you assunder and cut you off root and branch therefore if there be any that fear God depart from among the accursed men for God will cut them off and their children and not leave one of them to piss on the earth Then they said why did not I execute Gods command I said God accept the will for the deed instance Abraham then two rose and said I had said that God had accepted my sacrifice or offering I denyed their words they affirmed and upon my illustrative they stated a position and bid the Chairman wright it down and so to have taken away my life because I had convinced them by Gods truth yet their wickedness is so great that they defie the Lord that bought them even unto his very face still those two men affirmed a position in plain terms them which would have taken away my life by their false witnessing proved thus because God did stay their Chairmans hand and two men one of my right hand and one on my left gave testimony that delivered me from my death and said my words were not positive which knew all men the laws all position As thus for doing in such a thing such an punishment but yea asses know for such an entention if it had truely been the law cannot lay hold and know there can be no treason against all traytors and that lies behind to come in its place you will say and judge Theauraujohn did write this book I see them that know me in the spirit do know I did write this book but they that would know me litterally shall not know I write this book and yet know you all I did write this book but whether dead or alive you know not this is one of your own but it is beyond your form hear ye cheaters of the nations liberty I write and no man sees how can any of your perjured ones say he saw me spell these words write the letters that doth contain my meaning then it goes unto the Priests then it is another thing and such a thing that no law in England can lay hold upon Thus my copy is consumed to give glory unto the Priests the Printer he printeth the copy he dare not swear that he that gives him the coppy saw him write the copy it s his trade to print and by the free Law of England every man may use his lawful calling without mollestation else ye fools where is the grand Charter of Albion now named England Know all men God doth command to honor these three men the Chairman and the two men on each side and I my self do give unto each of them their due respect as they were true witnesses of my true words and so saved my life and thus saith Jehovah that when his Buchers the man slayer shall excute his just judgement on the rest their life I have given unto them for a pray but their estates are gone because of a confederasie with the sons of Belial their names I will declare to the whole kingdom for their honor so soon as I know their names for I knew not one man but Master Hull as I went by into the room The next and last was this I did beseech them consider that a man of peace a man that had forsaken all that God should raise him up for to testifie with the hazard of his life Gods fierce wrath kindled against them to cut them off quite from the earth Then one answered and said I fought with Colonel Rich then I said Gentlemen I beseech you all to hear me in this matter then they heard me attentively then I said that when Colonel Rich and Captain French that villain with the rest of the theeves came to divide their theevish purchases the Parks in which they had cheated the poor souldiers by buying their debenters for a song in comparison of their due right for Gentlemen I said thus if I set a man to work till it comes unto twenty shillings and then give him ten graots I count them cheating theeves and villains What do you think of this At this word they were mute and asked me what I was and if I loved the Quakers and I said they were honest men then they made strange then I said I love all as an Independent Anabaptist Papist Cavileer and all men if they were but what they said but for to speak good words and under them good pretences wrong and spoil others them my soul did abhor and loath Gentlemen I am a man that doth acknowledge a State of Kings Earls Barons and Lords which is Monarchy the fifth Christ shall a thousand yeers This that I now write is added for to give the land notice from Jehovah I do from the Lord according unto our lineal dissent as before the land it shall be proved our right to be royal lineal duely without transposition claim the crown of England and by the which true right undoubtedly when the records do appear and from that true right I do voice forth unto the world though in prison a degrasion of all honors conferred on and upon any person honorable or worshipful from the day and yeer of the life acting of the Duke of Glocester named Richard the third Englands King and also I degrad all title of Henry the seventh as none in heritance in Englands crown right by which cheat Stuard came in by marriage of Henry the sevenths daughter and in this degraidment lies the rest degraded and an annihilated for by Jehovah every man shall have his due right and my self not one farthing and not my self nor mine children and people one penny for I go to a greater inheritance which is Jerusalem onely I do retain my due right and title Albiton or Albion that is the lands restoring the oppressor cut off the people shall praise God that made them when by righteousness they are restored Take notice all people of England although by a Divine right I do challenge and claim the whole Forrest lands as we shall prove in a lawful Sessions of the Nations just chousing and also our Royal title of Albanugaunny The which title doth include the Crown of England yet all people know we do scorn that our title Royal should be expostulated with our younger brothers servants or journiman I mean my Lord Protector and his chosing by him stated for I tell you the name Cromwell doth degraid him
