to_o the_o priest_n and_o people_n of_o england_n we_o discharge_v our_o conscience_n and_o give_v they_o warning_n friend_n we_o have_v no_o envy_n nor_o malice_n to_o any_o creature_n priest_n or_o peple_n but_o be_v to_o mind_v you_o of_o your_o condition_n without_o any_o partiality_n or_o hypocrisy_n and_o wish_v your_o eternal_a good_a and_o what_o we_o contend_v against_o be_v your_o great_a enemy_n and_o will_v be_v your_o everlasting_a woe_n and_o torment_n if_o it_o be_v not_o destroy_v in_o you_o for_o know_v there_o be_v the_o seed_n of_o the_o woman_n and_o the_o seed_n of_o the_o serpent_n in_o the_o world_n there_o be_v the_o generation_n of_o cain_n and_o righteous_a abel_n now_o it_o lie_v upon_o you_o all_o to_o know_v what_o generation_n you_o be_v of_o for_o little_a do_v the_o false_a prophet_n and_o that_o generation_n that_o put_v to_o death_n the_o true_a prophet_n of_o the_o lord_n think_v they_o be_v of_o cain_n race_n nor_o do_v the_o scribe_n and_o pharisee_n that_o with_o their_o priest_n put_v christ_n to_o death_n think_v they_o be_v of_o cain_n generation_n for_o they_o garnish_v the_o sepulcher_n of_o the_o righteous_a and_o say_v if_o they_o have_v be_v in_o the_o day_n of_o their_o father_n they_o which_o uld_v not_o have_v slay_v they_o yet_o christ_n jesus_n tell_v they_o that_o all_o the_o blood_n spill_v since_o righteous_a abel_n shall_v be_v require_v of_o that_o generation_n and_o that_o they_o be_v the_o child_n of_o they_o that_o murder_v the_o prophet_n be_v it_o not_o strange_a that_o the_o learned_a priest_n and_o scribe_n and_o pilate_n that_o have_v the_o hebrew_n and_o greek_a beside_o latin_a shall_v not_o find_v out_o by_o all_o their_o high_a learning_n the_o original_n of_o the_o scripture_n of_o the_o prophet_n concern_v christ_n jesus_n that_o he_o be_v the_o true_a m●ssiah_n but_o that_o they_o that_o read_v the_o gospel_n every_o sabbath_n day_n that_o speak_v of_o christ_n shall_v murder_v and_o put_v he_o to_o death_n now_o christ_n jesus_n himself_o give_v the_o reason_n and_o thanks_o his_o father_n that_o he_o have_v hide_v it_o from_o the_o wise_a and_o prudent_a and_o reveal_v it_o to_o babe_n because_o it_o be_v the_o father_n good_a pleasure_n and_o the_o scripture_n declare_v they_o to_o be_v ignorant_a that_o have_v the_o hebrew_n greek_a and_o latin_a for_o have_v they_o know_v it_o they_o will_v not_o have_v crucify_v the_o lord_n of_o life_n and_o glory_n now_o people_n this_o be_v the_o same_o generation_n of_o cain_n in_o they_o after_o christ_n death_n that_o persecute_v the_o apostle_n and_o put_v they_o to_o death_n and_o it_o be_v the_o same_o spirit_n in_o they_o that_o put_v the_o martyr_n to_o death_n and_o of_o that_o generation_n be_v the_o bishop_n that_o persecute_v and_o so_o it_o continue_v still_o to_o this_o day_n in_o the_o world_n for_o cain_n generation_n be_v now_o still_o envy_v hate_v and_o persecute_v the_o righteous_a abel_n now_o the_o persecute_v cainish_a generation_n will_v never_o acknowledge_v they_o be_v such_o but_o in_o all_o age_n persecute_v the_o just_a under_o some_o false_a colour_n as_o they_o of_o old_a say_v the_o true_a prophet_n be_v troubler_n of_o israel_n and_o amaziel_n the_o priest_n of_o bethel_n say_v of_o amos_n that_o the_o land_n be_v not_o able_a to_o bear_v his_o word_n and_o haman_n say_v that_o the_o law_n of_o the_o people_n of_o god_n be_v contrary_a to_o the_o law_n and_o custom_n of_o all_o nation_n &_o of_o christ_n they_o say_v he_o be_v a_o deceiver_n and_o have_v a_o devil_n and_o of_o stephen_n that_o he_o speak_v against_o the_o holy_a place_n and_o the_o law_n and_o that_o paul_n be_v a_o pestilent_a fellow_n and_o a_o mover_n of_o sedition_n so_o that_o all_o along_o it_o be_v on_o a_o false_a account_n the_o just_a be_v persecute_v so_o in_o the_o day_n of_o the_o bishop_n the_o martyr_n be_v burn_v and_o butcher_v under_o the_o name_n of_o heretic_n so_o now_o the_o seed_n of_o the_o serpent_n be_v subtle_a and_o will_v not_o persecute_v the_o truth_n as_o it_o be_v the_o truth_n but_o under_o some_o false_a pretence_n or_o other_o else_o all_o will_v see_v their_o deceit_n but_o the_o truth_n be_v it_o be_v from_o the_o first_o rise_v because_o their_o own_o work_n be_v evil_a and_o their_o brother_n good_a they_o hate_v christ_n jesus_n because_o he_o testify_v that_o their_o work_n be_v evil_a so_o now_o cain_n generation_n hate_v the_o just_a and_o pure_a seed_n of_o god_n because_o it_o declare_v that_o their_o work_n be_v evil_a object_n but_o do_v not_o the_o priest_n declare_v against_o evil_a work_n answ_n yes_o they_o do_v so_o the_o scribe_n and_o pharisee_n speak_v good_a word_n they_o speak_v of_o the_o messiah_n yet_o they_o kill_v the_o substance_n of_o what_o they_o speak_v so_o the_o priest_n speak_v true_a word_n good_a word_n and_o yet_o kill_v and_o persecute_v pursue_v and_o imprison_v the_o substance_n and_o life_n of_o what_o they_o speak_v for_o he_o that_o depart_v from_o evil_n make_v himself_o a_o prey_n to_o priest_n and_o people_n and_o sometime_o when_o the_o light_n in_o their_o conscience_n tell_v they_o when_o they_o be_v persecute_v the_o just_a seed_n that_o they_o be_v innocent_a yet_o they_o wilful_o run_v on_o against_o the_o very_a light_n of_o their_o own_o conscience_n as_o do_v stephen_n persecutor_n and_o be_v it_o not_o so_o i_o speak_v to_o that_o in_o your_o conscience_n that_o though_o the_o priest_n speak_v true_a word_n yet_o priest_n and_o people_n that_o live_v in_o cain_n race_n do_v pursue_v and_o persecute_v even_o to_o the_o very_a death_n the_o life_n and_o power_n of_o what_o they_o do_v preach_v and_o know_v you_o of_o a_o truth_n that_o all_o the_o blood_n since_o abel_n shall_v be_v require_v of_o this_o generation_n for_o as_o it_o grow_v to_o the_o end_n it_o heightn_v and_o ripen_v its_o malice_n and_o wickedness_n and_o so_o shall_v its_o judgement_n be_v for_o double_a plague_n shall_v be_v pour_v out_o upon_o she_o now_o to_o you_o all_o i_o speak_v sin_v not_o against_o the_o light_n in_o your_o own_o conscience_n be_v not_o wilful_o blind_a but_o harken_v to_o the_o light_n of_o jesus_n christ_n in_o your_o conscience_n that_o you_o may_v come_v to_o see_v what_o generation_n you_o be_v of_o whether_o of_o cain_n or_o abel_n and_o if_o you_o do_v abide_v in_o the_o light_n you_o shall_v come_v to_o witness_v the_o life_n and_o power_n of_o what_o you_o profess_v and_o so_o come_v to_o that_o life_n that_o give_v forth_o the_o scripture_n and_o not_o wrest_v they_o to_o your_o own_o opinion_n and_o lust_n one_o say_v loe_o here_o in_o presbytery_n another_o loe_o there_o in_o independency_n and_o another_o in_o prelacy_n and_o another_o in_o baptism_n but_o the_o scripture_n be_v not_o divide_v they_o agree_v and_o hold_v out_o one_o thing_n but_o you_o divide_v they_o because_o you_o live_v not_o in_o that_o life_n that_o give_v they_o forth_o yet_o you_o boast_v of_o your_o learning_n that_o you_o have_v the_o hebrew_n and_o greek_a and_o know_v the_o original_a but_o you_o see_v pilate_n and_o the_o jew_n have_v the_o hebrew_n greek_a and_o latin_a yet_o know_v not_o the_o original_a for_o have_v they_o know_v it_o they_o will_v not_o have_v crucify_v the_o lord_n of_o life_n and_o glory_n therefore_o know_v you_o that_o you_o may_v be_v and_o be_v ignorant_a though_o you_o think_v yourselves_o wise_a silly_a man_n and_o woman_n may_v see_v more_o into_o the_o mystery_n of_o christ_n jesus_n than_o you_o for_o the_o apostle_n that_o the_o scribe_n call_v illiterate_a and_o mary_n and_o susanna_n silly_a woman_n as_o you_o will_v be_v ready_a to_o call_v they_o if_o they_o be_v here_o now_o these_o know_v more_o of_o the_o messiah_n than_o all_o the_o learned_a priest_n and_o rabbi_n for_o it_o be_v the_o spirit_n that_o search_v all_o thing_n yea_o the_o deep_a thing_n of_o god_n you_o may_v know_v and_o yet_o murder_v the_o just_a and_o think_v you_o do_v god_n good_a service_n this_o i_o warn_v you_o in_o love_n for_o i_o can_v but_o think_v that_o there_o be_v some_o among_o you_o that_o ponder_v on_o this_o day_n and_o if_o you_o will_v hearken_v to_o the_o light_n of_o jesus_n christ_n in_o your_o conscience_n it_o will_v lead_v you_o from_o your_o own_o wisdom_n learning_n and_o self-conceitedness_a into_o the_o simplicity_n of_o jesus_n christ_n which_o be_v a_o mystery_n of_o faith_n hide_v in_o a_o pure_a conscience_n for_o your_o own_o wisdom_n must_v be_v deny_v if_o ever_o you_o will_v come_v to_o witness_v the_o life_n and_o power_n of_o true_a wisdom_n which_o the_o fear_n of_o the_o lord_n be_v the_o begin_n of_o for_o so_o do_v they_o of_o old_a paul_n
