TO THE KING and both Houses of PARLIAMENT sitting at VVestminster And to every particular Member thereof This is a timely warning that they do not make Laws against the Righteous and Innocent People of the Lord called Quakers as the unrighteous Rulers whom God overthrew before them did Pro. 20.8 The King that sitteth in the Throne of Jugdement scattereth away all evil with his eyes By Humphrey Wolrich LONDON Printed for Robert Wilson at the sign of the Black spread Eagle and Windmil in Martins le Grand O Parliament DO not ye establish that which the Lord hath determined to overthrow neither do ye endeavour to destroy by unrighteous Laws Truth which the Lord hath determined to establish and his worship in Spirit will he exalt and all other worship taught by the precepts and commandements of men are abomination and the Lord will overturn and root it out of this Land in his season and though Idolatry be taking root and spreading it self over this Land as the branches of a green bay tree yet the Lord will arise and his enemies shall be scattered as the chaffe of the threshing floor before the wind and the whirlwind of the Lord shall fling them out of their place for the Lord hath a mighty and a strong One whom Nations Councils and Parliaments have too too much rejected and set at naught and the wise builders in all ages yet a remnant in all generations hath he saved and to them hath he been a tryed stone elect and precious and to the generation of the righteous who have sought the Lord in all ages hath he been a rock a shelter and hiding place and a sure foundation unto them where they have been hid from the persecution and cruelty of men even of such men which would not have them to rule over them such in all ages have been making Laws and sealing unrighteous decrees against the innocent to bind the Consciences of the Servants of the Lord that they might not worship him in the liberty of his own Spirit such would never own Christ the light in their Consciences which saith whatever ye would that men should do unto you do ye the same unto them for their Lord King and Lawgiver For thus saith the Lord it is by me that Kings reign and Princes decree Justice by me Princes rule and Nobles even all the Judges of the earth Prov. 8.14 I wisdom dwell with prudence and find our knowledge of witty invention Friends this is spoken of Christ who is the wisdom and power of God and in whom are found treasures of wisdom and knowledge who saith counsel is mine and sound wisdom I am understanding I have strength this is he who hath given a measure of his true Light into all your Consciences to be your Counsellor this is the power of God to which every soul must be subject and every one that would act for God in the Parliament must take counsel at this Spirit which standeth in the Congregation of the mighty and judgeth among the gods who is for a Spirit of judgment to him that sitteth in judgment and whose name is called wonderful Counsellor the mighty God the everlasting Father the Prince of peace mark this is he which saith open thy mouth for the dumb in the cause of all such as are appointed unto destruction open thy mouth judge righteously and plead the cause of the poor and needy this is he of whom it is said Esa 11 from the 2. to the 5. the Spirit of the Lord shall rest upon him the Spirit of wisdom and understanding the spirit of counsel and might the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the Lord and shall make him of quick understanding in the fear of the Lord he shall not judge after the sight of his eyes neither reprove after the hearing of his ears but with righteousnesse shall he judge the poor and reprove with equity for the meek of the earth and righteousnesse shall be the girdle of his loins and faithfulnesse the girdle of his rains this is he which Job put on as a garment Job 29 14. I put on Righteousnesse and it cloathed me my judgement was as a robe and diadem mark this was the light by which Job walked through darknesse and a Spirit of judgement when he sate in judgment the Princes refrained talking before him the Nobles held their peace and their tongues cleaved to the roof of their mouths when the ear heard me mark blessed is the ear that hears and the eye that sees for they are satisfied then it blessed me and when the eye saw me it gave witnesse to me Friends mind the testimony of God and have the witnesse in your selves as Job had who said I hold fast my righteousnesse my heart shall not reproach me so long as I live because I delivered the poor that cryed and I caused the widows heart to sing for joy I was also eyes to the blind and feet to the lame I was a Father to the poor and the cause which I knew not I searched out I brake the jaws of the wicked and pluckt the spoil out of their teeth unto me men gave ear and kept silent at my counsel and waited for my words as for the latter rain mark here was no complaining when true judgement did run down as a stream then was the door of the prisoner opened and the widows heart did sing for joy then did truth spring out of the earth and righteousnesse rained down from Heaven then did the branch of righteousnesse grow and the arm of the poor was strengthned and the high arm of the wicked was also broken then did glory spread it self and the life was revealed as in the dayes of old when Moses the man of God judged the tribes of Israel So Friends many eyes are waiting upon you the many eyes of the Beast which the Lord will blind are looking for some unrighteous decree that the Merchants of Babylon in whom the cry of the righteous is great and in whom the bloud of the Innocent hath cryed for vengeance their eyes are looking towards you and their expectations are great that ye will stablish their false worship by a Law which if you do and compell all to worship in a form which is now setting up utterly contrary to the Scriptures and form and power of godlinesse the Lord will destroy and confound you and them together For he hath determined the Lord hath said and will most certainly bring it to passe that he will be as an enemy and stand with his everlasting arm as an adversary against all that would bind the Consciences of those that fear the Lord or by any Law or Decree would compell to worship in any form but in that which his own Spirit leadeth into the Lord hath said it and his word is setled and established as a Decree for ever that he will overturn all false worship and all such as have a name of Ministers of
