A65249	Lamentation over England from a true sight, and suffering sense, of the lamentable wickedness of such rulers, priests, and people, that are erred, and strayed from the way of God, and follow too much the devices and desires of their own hearts, offending against his holy laws ... : whereby all persecutors may (in pity to their souls) truly consider what way they are in, and whether it leads, and whose work they are doing, and what the Scripture saith will be the reward of oppression and cruelty / by M.W.	Watkins, Morgan, fl. 1653-1670.	1664 (1664)	Wing W1066; ESTC R38958	45,267	54

word_n of_o the_o spirit_n of_o truth_n to_o you_o all_o for_o we_o be_v a_o people_n that_o have_v do_v you_o no_o wrong_n at_o all_o and_o as_o we_o walk_v in_o the_o truth_n we_o do_v profess_v

and_o what_o be_v our_o crime_n that_o we_o be_v thus_o reckon_v as_o sheep_n for_o the_o slaughter_n be_v it_o not_o only_o because_o we_o can_v break_v the_o command_n of_o god_n and_o his_o son_n

from_o the_o king_n see_v their_o blessing_n do_v as_o little_a good_a as_o balaam_n intend_v curse_v do_v harm_n for_o he_o go_v away_o without_o the_o king_n great_a honour_n and_o promotion_n
