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 you_o neither_o make_v nor_o uphold_v such_o law_n ordinance_n act_n or_o what_o you_o may_v call_v they_o as_o we_o have_v so_o deep_o suffer_v by_o namely_o any_o law_n for_o payment_n of_o tithe_n

the_o people_n at_o all_o but_o do_v cause_v they_o to_o err_v as_o the_o false_a prophet_n do_v who_o the_o prophet_n jeremy_n speak_v against_o jer._n 23._o 32._o now_o the_o priest_n of_o england_n 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 they_o for_o if_o you_o give_v it_o unto_o they_o you_o give_v it_o unto_o the_o harlot_n for_o they_o who_o preach_v for_o hire_n and_o divine_a for_o money_n be_v adulterate_v from_o the_o lord_n

end_n say_v the_o lord_n now_o if_o you_o say_v tithe_n be_v give_v by_o god_n under_o the_o first_o priesthood_n and_o why_o may_v they_o not_o stand_v now_o for_o minister_n maintenance_n i_o answer_v no_o for_o who_o ever_o go_v about_o to_o keep_v up_o tithe_n under_o what_o pretence_n so_o ever_o do_v deny_v christ_n come_v in_o the_o flesh_n and_o so_o be_v the_o antichrist_n for_o
