Some Particulars Concerning the Law SENT TO Oliver Cromwell Who is chief Ruler in these Nations according to man And to the Counsellors who sit in Counsel with him wherein is plainly laid down the difference betwixt the righteous Law of God and those Laws which are made and acted in the will of man and how they who make and act those Laws which are according to the Will of man and contrary to the Law of God are found opposing the righteous Law of God and so are transgressors of that Law which is according to that in the Conscience With a vvord of discovery of the cruel oppression of the Priests who call themselves Ministers of Christ and the Gospel which gives freedom but they are found to be Opposers and out of the life that gave forth the Scriptures and so with it judged which is according to the Law of God which gives freedom to the righteous seed but have cleared themselves from Christ who disobey his Doctrine and sue men at the Law and take treble damages contrary to the Scriptures With a word of Exhortation to the Rulers and Magistrates to own the righteous Law of God which will cut down sin and cleanse the Land of evil doers and discover the Deceivers of the People London Printed Anno Dom. 1654. FRiend thou saiest That in thy conscience tells thee that there is no Law that is extant by which the people of God are kept in bondage to thee I did alledge the Act of Mary which I say is contrary to that in the Conscience which is of God for her Law did cause the righteous to suffer which guarded the Jesuites which guard the Priests now which thou with it wouldst limit the holy one and cast the Saints into holes and prisons and dungeons and countest it just and some are beat and stockt and cruelly persecuted and then after sent to Prison see if thy Law here do keep Peace or break it and give liberty to all the peace breakers and fighters and strikers for them to beat to stock and after send them to prison and there the wicked the fighters and strikers rejoyce over them and they can scarce walk in the streets and this Law thou countest just which prisons the righteous and encourages the evil doers which is contrary to the Law of God which is according to that in the Conscience and which is contrary to Paul the Minister of Christ who said if any thing be revealed to him that stands by let the first hold his peace and if Paul were here again to go up and down the Synagogues and dispute with them to bring them off the figures and shadows to bring them up to the substance Queen Maries Act would take hold of him and he was made manifest to the Consciences of all and here thy Act is contrary to that in the Conscience which would limit the Spirit of the Lord. And thy Act as Queen Maries would take hold upon Am●s and the rest of the Prophets and Christ who was supposed to be the Carpenters son who went up and down in the Synagogues and was hated of the Priests and when he spoke in the Synagogues they were full of fury and there again thy Law is contrary to that of God in the conscience and except thou doest repent God will remove thy Kingdom and if thy Laws were upon them that act contrary to that in the conscience fighters envious quarrellers drunkards murderers and all unrighteous such Law we own this is wholsom and good but that which would limit the holy One and the Just we cannot own Secondly there is another Law which is acted contray to that in the conscience to put men to death for Cattle or money when they were according to the Law of God to make restitution if not they were to be sold for their Theft and there they had space to repent for that in the conscience will let them see what they have done Thirdly and another thing is acted in the N●●ion contrary to the light of Christ in the conscience men that cannot swear but abide in the Doctrine of Christ who saith swear not at all for what is more then yea and nay is evil and the Apostle said My Brethren swear not at all lest you fall into condemnation and some that cannot swear such are fined and prisoned and many suffer now because they cannot swear and so you would bring them into condemnation and into the evil contrary to the Doctrine of Christ Fourthly another Law is acted contrary to that of God in the conscience that men are forced to pay Priests tithes and so deny Christ come in the flesh and if they will not pay Priests tithes they sue them at the Law or imprison them and that Law requires treble damages and this Law is oppression contrary to that of God in the Conscience neither is there honesty in it I charge it upon you for Moses which had the Law and gave it forth to the Priests and people and the Priests that should receive Ti●hes they were to have a Store-house to put it in and it was to be filled with Tithes but it is not so with you and all the strangers and the widdows and the Fatherless were to come to be filled within the Priests Gates and this the Priest was to Minister out of the Store-house a figure of the everlasting Priest who Ministers out of the everlasting treasury the Apostle who preached him said the Priesthood that received Tithes was changed and the Law was changed also and yet you have a Law that if any one do not pay the Priests Tithes he must pay treble damages or lye in Goal as many lye in Goal now because they cannot deny Christ come in the flesh pay the Priests Tithes but they witness him and deny the changable Priesthood which you give Tithes to but no Store-house who deny Christ come in the flesh though you talk of him in words but no Store-house to fill all the widdows the fatherless and strangers in England that there might be no beggar in England as there was no beggar to be in Israel but be fed within the Priests Gates which receive Tithes But by this Law by which your Priests receive Tithes you help the Priests to make many beggars which is contrary to the Scriptures and that of God in the conscience both and by that Law many righteous ones suffer all who own Christ in life suffer by your Low and are opprest and all your Laws acted contrary to that of God in the Conscience that of God in the Conscience will testifie and witness against you and your Laws and witness the Law of God which is according to that in the Conscience which is perfect and endures for ever You that swear deny the Lord Jesus Christ that bought you and his Doctrine and you that compel men to give Tiches and you that take them are men that deny the Lord Jesus Christ come in the
