A96517	To the present authority of Parliament now sitting, and to all other rulers and officers belonging to this nation of England, who now bears chiefest rule. Some words of reflection to you all, touching those who bear rule before you, whom the Lord hath justly put down from their seats ... but this chiefly to you who are the present rulers [to] put you in minde of the cry of the neglect of the righteous; also to yourselves a warning and true admonition. / [by] Bryan Wilkinson.

law_n do_v compel_v man_n to_o sin_n against_o their_o own_o conscience_n so_o this_o do_v lie_v upon_o you_o from_o the_o lord_n that_o you_o do_v break_v off_o every_o such_o a_o yoke_n and_o that_o

be_v such_o this_o be_v a_o true_a testimony_n against_o they_o whether_o you_o can_v believe_v it_o or_o no_o therefore_o be_v warn_v and_o take_v heed_n how_o you_o give_v your_o strength_n unto_o

do_v regulate_v their_o way_n and_o so_o teach_v they_o the_o exercise_n of_o a_o good_a conscience_n both_o towards_o god_n and_o towards_o man_n and_o as_o you_o yourselves_o be_v subject_a unto_o he_o who_o have_v enlighten_v you_o with_o his_o light_n with_o it_o he_o will_v let_v you_o see_v who_o be_v from_o the_o power_n of_o god_n and_o no_o otherwise_o you_o can_v see_v and_o as_o you_o
