Something written to the MAGISTRATES OF LONDON AND MIDDLESEX Who sit on the Seat of Justice who are as examples to the rest of the Nation or to whomsoever this may come that they may see the fruits of their doings and repent thereof Wi●h a sound of God's Judgements against Babylon and her Merchants Also A manifestation of God's Love to his People and an invitation to all people to turn unto the Lord who waits to be gracious yea whose loving-kindness is stretcht out to the ends of the Earth By one who hath been a sufferer for the Truth 's sake JOHN TYSO LONDON Printed in the Year 1663. Something written to the Magistrates of London and Middlesex c. O Ye men of London who fit as Heads and are as Leaders to the rest of the Nation in your proceedings and to ye the inhabitants of the Subburbs thereof do I speak yea to you chief men in Middlesex who sit in the seat of Justice What think ye the Lord hath forsaken the earth Or is it in your hearts the Holy One of Israel sees you not Consider and lay it to heart slight it not for God wil plead with you for these things What is Truth wholly become a prey amongst you and Justice and true Judgement turned backward that Equity cannot enter And have you not only the Names of Justice and the words thereof painted upon the Walls in your Courts and your hearts hardened against God and his Truth where it is made manifest And is not this Scripture fulfilled in your generation That he that departs from iniquity becomes a prey And are not the proud counted happy And are not them that work wickedness set up O ye men in Authority consider these things and lay it to heart for do not our eyes behold these things in your Courts of Judicatory And are not these things brought forth amongst you the prophane licentious persons drunkards and swearers whores and whoremongers are set at liberty and the poor despised Members of Truth kept in bonds for the exercise of a pure Conscience towards God and Man for know this it is for this very thing we suffer outward bonds and imprisonments with the spoiling of our goods because we fear the Lord and cannot run into the same excess with others but keep our Consciences void of offence towards God and man So consider how cruel and hard-hearted you have been towards us yea like Pharoah's Task-Masters have you oppressed the Seed of Jacob but know this the mighty God of Jacob in whom we trust wil as sure plead our Cause as ever he did Israel's of old who hath and wil give us strength and patience to wait upon him for deliverance in his own time So think not that pride cruelty and oppression and them that delight therein shall for ever reign and Truth be for ever slain in the streets of spiritual Sodom and Egypt where Christ was and is crucified by the generation of Cain Ismael and Esau who were murderers scoffers and persecutors of all the righteous Seed of God from Abel to this very day but know this yes assuredly Plagues Plagues is prepared Vials Vials of the Wrath of Almighty God is to be poured forth without mixture upon the seat of the Beast and upon the inhabitants of the Earth whereby they shall gnash their teeth for very pain and blaspheme the God of Heaven who hath power over these plagues that repeat not of their evil deeds but curse their God and their King which is Abaddon the Angel of the bottomless pit And so let none glory in their acts of cruelty nor boast in their own strength nor say as it was said in the Revelations Who is able to make war with the Beast For the little stone is cut out of the Mountain which hath and wil smite the great Image yea and God's Plough is entered into the fallow ground yea and all the bryars and brambles call Cedars and sturdy Oaks shall not hinder its passage through the Earth but in the fulness of time they shall be as stubble fully dryed fit for the fire and the wrath of the Lord God Almighty shall kindle upon them and burn and not be quenched til Judgment be brought forth into victory and Truth and Equity come to reign and Righteousness run down our streets for this is what the Lord requires of every man To do justly love mercy and walk humbly with his God and to love his Neighbor as himself as the Scripture faith and until then not a blessing but a curse is to be expected And this is to all you in Authority in whom the gift of God is not wholly slain but some tenderness is left in you your Consciences are so far enlightened that you cannot join in your hearts with the unjust proceeding of others take heed how you join hand in hand with the wicked neither be silent for fear of man when unjust Judgment is given against any for if you do God wil not hold you guiltless at his Judgement-seat but as you are faithful to God so shal you have your reward but if you are silent and wink at the unjust proceedings of others whereby Truth and good men come to suffer God wil require it at your hands and that which he hath given shall be taken from you and ye bound hand and foot and cast into utter darkness as wel as others where shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth for ever For know this God did not set you in places of trust to seek your selves but to act for him and to be an encouragement to good men and a terror to the wicked and as you are faithful thereunto you wil come over all the slavish fear of man although they be higher in power then yourselves and so you wil answer the end for which God hath set you which is not to please men but to do the wil of God which cannot be done by you if you seek to save self but God wil deliver the oppressed by another hand and ye shall be cast out as dung upon the face of the Earth And what think you ye Merchants of Babylon who reign as Kings and put the day of the Lord afar off and push with your horns and cry Tush away where is the promise of his coming doth not all things continue as they were since the Fathers fell asleep and is not our Kingdom restored again into its strength and vigor as before And are net the Towers of Babel rebuilt And doth not the Whore our Mother sit as a Queen with her Golden Cup in her hand And have not we made Laws and Decrees that all both small and great shall drink thereof And how should she see sorrow or we have cause to lament her downfall which you say is so near Why hear this ye Merchants of Babylon who are crept out of your holes and dens and are spread like Locusts upon the face of the Earth and at your return is
