A52677	An account from the children of light (to them that askes) in several particulars why we have been kept from joyning to, or worshipping in those formes at law, and formes of worships, that have been imposed upon us against our consciences, in these late years, for denying whereof, we have so deeply suffered, with our lives, liberties, and estates. : Also what we owne as to those things, and can be obedient to for conscience sake, according to truth, and the practise of the church of Christ, and the Scriptures.

every_o power_n that_o yet_o have_v rise_v then_o to_o join_v in_o with_o they_o because_o we_o have_v not_o hear_v the_o voice_n of_o the_o holy_a one_o in_o the_o midst_n of_o they_o neither_o have_v his_o spirit_n in_o they_o be_v the_o strength_n of_o their_o counsel_n 5.21_o but_o they_o have_v seek_v to_o make_v flesh_n their_o arm_n and_o to_o strengthen_v their_o kingdom_n with_o flattery_n and_o deceit_n and_o not_o with_o truth_n 17.5_o and_o they_o have_v seek_v to_o make_v themselves_o dreadful_a by_o violence_n and_o to_o rule_v with_o cruelty_n and_o not_o with_o the_o

not_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n 30.1_o so_o with_o the_o light_n of_o christ_n we_o see_v their_o foundation_n and_o their_o building_n and_o that_o they_o can_v not_o stand_v long_o in_o god_n

cause_n and_o no_o other_o thing_n why_o we_o have_v hitherto_o bear_v our_o testimony_n against_o they_o all_o even_o because_o they_o will_v not_o join_v to_o the_o lord_n nor_o hear_v his_o voice_n

we_o have_v the_o witness_n of_o truth_n in_o we_o to_o this_o day_n how_o glad_a our_o soul_n have_v be_v before_o the_o lord_n when_o we_o have_v but_o feel_v the_o least_o tenderness_n in_o any_o

when_o they_o have_v be_v low_a little_a and_o in_o fear_n in_o which_o we_o have_v have_v some_o hope_n and_o gladness_n to_o hear_v the_o voice_n of_o simplicity_n and_o truth_n though_o but_o
