A78011	An appeal from Chancery, to the Lord General and his Councel of Officers, as also to the Councel of State, and to all free-born English men of honest hearts, who have not forfeited their liberty, or captivated their reason, but fear and love the name of God, and the interest of all honest men, ... that Christs kingdom may be advanced, and the kingdom of Satan, with Antichrist, and that of the beast, may be thrown down, with all their covetous, persecuting, ... perjured officers, ..., either that have been corrupt Parliament-men, ... such who are in places of judicature, ... with every corrupt member thereof, ...in England, or in places called Innes of Court, or the devil's school of sophisticating and lying, frauds and hypocrisies, which bring forth a generation of vipers, ... wolves in sheeps clothing, ... or those in places of government in cities, ... who usurp authority over English-men, and that because they are in place or places over them, they combine also with this serpentine brood, and tyrannize over their brethren which never yet brake their trust, as the most of these have done, and that because they will not sacrifice to this devil of unrighteousness, ... to do unrighteously, and to deceive, and defraud, and oppress their brethren, and to undo them, as these experimentally many of them are found and known to do, for filthy lucre sake.	Burt, Nathaniel, fl. 1644-1655.	1653 (1653)	Wing B6141; Thomason E697_21; ESTC R207111	20,805	28

Parliament to perpetuate your own fittings as the corrupt Parliament did before you and as they endeavouring to perpetuate themselves enslaved the Nation as our fellow-souldiers Remonstrance from Scotland relates p. 4. and we by experience have found it both from them and you who by perpetuating your selves enslave your brethren and tyrannize over their persons and estates But believe it our day of Redemption groweth neer and the bud of our Liberty beginneth to appear and as both Monarchy and the Parliament are dissolved so are the great Diana's or Idols your Charters which you boast of and trust in fallen and so will you and your power you usurp and exercise thereby since the makers thereof are dissolved the thing made with or by them must cease since both succession faileth as well as the predecessor that granted it as your selves well know and proclaimed it down in all Cities Ports and Corporated Towns and yet you will adore and set up the Idol-Deed-Patent Grant or Charter of those dead conquered nulled dissolved or if living yet not to de owned served obeyed by English-men so that since the lively character of Succession is dead to this Commonwealth and it is Treason against the Commonwealth to acknowledge any other then I pray what are all your Grants and Charters worth you so love honour idolize and tyrannize by Wherefore you in places of Government and Power in Cities Ports corporated Towns and Guild-Halls and other Halls and Corporated Fraternities weep and howl for these your Idols are fallen by which you have made your selves rich and have corrupted your selves See what James adviseth Ch. 5.1 to 9. and repent of the cries of your brethren which are come up against you and behold the Judge standeth before the door Wherefore I intreat you all to repent

brethren may live by you in peace and not be any longer oppressed defrauded destroyed Yet trust my dear brethren in Jacob's God and not in man in whom there is no help whose breath goeth forth and he returneth to the earth for it is better to trust in the Lord then to put confidence in man David knew it in all his troubles yea he knew it is better to trust the Lord then to put confidence in Princes Psal. 11.8.8,9 Then I pray if there is no help in man nor trust in Princes Psal. 146 3,4 5 6 7 9. what trust can be in the Grants or Charters of dead Kings and yet none to be given to the persons of living Princes But happie is he that hath the God of Jacob for his help and hope which keepeth the truth for ever O remember this you Judges Justices Commissioners Masters of the Chancery you that call your selves Lawyers but are Lyers Counsellors at Law but are Concealers of our Law and all your Viperous and Serpentine brood Know that God which keepeth truth for ever looseth the Prisoners giveth food to the hungry executeth judgement for the oppressed loveth the righteous raiseth them that are bowed down openeth the eyes of the blinde preserveth the strangers he relieyeth the
