yet like ravenous Wolves cast them into prison for bidding them repent and fear God and lay away their pride and their rings points and superfluities and tell them of their costly apparel wearing gold rings and costly apparel as said the Apostle it was not the wearing of gold or costly apparel and such it may be for speaking to them have been cast into prison and for telling them they be out of the Doctrine of Christ now to make all these put them out of Prison again and all those Justices likewise as have cast friends in prison for biding People fear God it may be moved of God to cry repentance through a Town or reprove sin in the gate they cast them into prison as sturdy beggars though men or women of sufficient estates now this gives an evil savour now to make them put them out again that will be for the convincing of People and be a sweet savour and the bringing and shewing the wisdom of the Lord God to thee And friend take heed of having any to compell another to maintain his meeting house or his Clark to say Amen but that every one maintain his own meeting house and if he will have a Clark to say Amen let him pay him his wages and every one if he will have a Minister to maintain his Minister for ther 's many thousands in the Nations that they need not to say unto them know the Lord that hath the Law of the Lord written in their hearts and put in their minds and are come under his Government and knowes Christ to be their Teacher and hears him as God said This is my beloved Son hear ye him and the Apostle said to the Hebrewes God spake to our Fathers by the Prophets and visions but now in these last dayes he hath spoken to us by his Son whom he hath made heir of all things and upholdeth all things by the word of his power And friend let no drunkard nor swearer or prophane man keep Innes Taverns or Alehouses but such as fears God whose houses are wholsom to lodge travellers that no young nor old People may be nursed up in such idle places to act wickedness and to keep Games and sports and things to play in their houses on purpose for people to spend and passe away their time in vanity now this is an ill savour to a Christian life and which is common in the Nations And friend let none that is called a Minister that comes and creepes under thee for maintenance Tythes and augmentations let him first go plant and plough and thresh and get a flock and then let him reap and eat for that is the Apostles counsel take it to thy side and then thou wilt not be cumbered with Ministers then thou wilt come to know the publick service that belongs to thy place which is to do Justice And friend let no officer whatsoever that is covetous after gifts or sums of mony rewards or Bribes let no man that is such bear office for the gifts rewards and Bribes blindes his eye and make him he cannot do Justice for because of such the helpless is not helped and the jawes of the wicked is not broken and for that cause the Lord brings Judgement upon a Land and men are blinded with earthly honours gifts rewards and high places and puffed up with honours and do not see it how the Lord brings Judgement upon them and overturns them with his hand yet they take not notice who are crying peace peace but sudden destruction comes upon them so thy time is now consider as thou stands in the Wisdom of God and lives in his fear counsel and dread and feels his hand and arm and stands in his Wisdom and power thou wilt prosper and reign but if any earthly honour blind thee the Lord will come upon thee when thou dost not see it and turn thee into the earth which the earthly honour comes to and where God layes it down in the dust but whose honour is from him that 's from above and hath his Wisdom and Power by which he made all the creatures they shall reign with the Lord God in his Power strength and arm And friend take heed how thou let any perverse peevish crosse malicious Justice or Magistrate whatsoever bear any office that will not do Justice except they have earthly honour but are in strife and peevish against them that cannot give it them such Magistrates have left the Counsel of Solomon but its honour for men to do justice and it will be an honour for thee to do Justice and see that Justice be done and the greatest comfort in the world to thee in that thou wilt have peace with God everlastingly and happiness for ever and his blessing and know a world that hath no end so the Lord God Almighty preserve thee in his Wisdom Counsel and strength over the heads of his enemies in thy self and in the world both that thou maist come to live in that which comprehends the world which was before the world was made in that and with that thou maist come to order the creatures by which Wisdom of God they was made and created to his glory And friend take heed of putting of honest godly men out of the Army or putting them out of place being Justices and such as fears God in so doing thou wilt blame thy self and weaken thy Authority and remove thy self out of the hearts of them that fears God From a lover of thy soul and thy eternal good and establishing of righteousness G. F. From the Church of Christ and Elect Assembly called of the Lord and gathered by his spirit and redeemed by his Power from amongst men out of all the many false Sects upon earth into fellowship with the Father and with the Son to follow the Lamb whithersoever he goes and we are named in scorn and known in the Nations by the name of Quakers To thee Richard Cromwel chosen to be Protector and chief Magistrate Governour of these Nations of England Scotland and Ireland a faithful presentation and salutation by a servant of the Church WE are rightly and truly sencible in all things of the mighty hand of the Lord God who brings all things to pass by his own Power and according to his will and in heaven and earth and over the Kingdoms of men he ruleth and Reigneth he buildeth and breaketh down and planteth and plucketh up and he pulleth down one and setteth up another and who may say what doest thou or why dost thou it for he is a great God and a mighty and his Majesty is terrible and all things in heaven and earth and all the sons of men are at his disposure whose dominion is from everlasting to everlasting and he may be feared and had in reverence by all creatures that hath life and breath And in particular we are sencible of his great and mighty Power who hath of late years in these Nations
