A53112	The complaint of English subjects delivered in two parts. First part, is the complaint, of the poor, middle, and meanest sorts of subjects, concerning their bodily assistance. Second part, is the true Christians complaint, against vice, and wickedness, for the good of their soul's health. Also, werein is set forth, the late prodigious growth, of atheism, errors, and vice: with a call to repentance. As also, how needful it is, in these times, for every one of us, first of all, to look into our own hearts, and endeavour to amend what is their amiss. And lastly, a brief discourse, concerning our late unfruitful, and cold summers: as also, what is thought to be the real causes of it, by way of opposition, to the opinion of astrologers.

time_n it_o be_v still_o with_o many_o of_o the_o poor_a now_o live_v and_o therefore_o i_o now_o most_o humble_o beseech_v your_o most_o gracious_a majesty_n and_o the_o parliament_n to_o believe_v i_o in_o what_o i_o have_v here_o say_v for_o it_o be_v the_o very_a truth_n but_o 4thly_a i_o can_v otherwise_v but_o make_v know_v to_o your_o most_o gracious_a majesty_n and_o the_o parliament_n this_o sore_a greviance_n also_o and_o that_o be_v how_o heavy_a and_o sore_o the_o tax_n of_o birth_n and_o burial_n have_v of_o late_a and_o now_o do_v lie_v on_o the_o poor_a but_o as_o for_o person_n of_o quality_n and_o other_o gentleman_n as_o also_o many_o other_o rich_a man_n that_o want_v child_n to_o enjoy_v what_o they_o have_v it_o must_v needs_o be_v great_a comfort_n to_o they_o to_o have_v the_o opportunity_n to_o pay_v birth-tax_n and_o if_o death-tax_n be_v at_o any_o time_n due_a from_o any_o of_o they_o than_o they_o can_v very_o easy_o pay_v it_o without_o any_o manner_n of_o loss_n to_o themselves_o if_o they_o will_v but_o observe_v this_o rule_n for_o it_o first_o to_o reckon_v with_o themselves_o how_o much_o money_n their_o death-tax_n will_v amount_v to_o and_o then_o so_o much_o money_n as_o their_o death-tax_n come_v to_o they_o may_v very_o well_o keep_v back_o and_o save_v it_o out_o of_o the_o extravagant_a expense_n of_o their_o funeral_n and_o that_o way_n they_o will_v be_v no_o loser_n at_o all_o by_o their_o pay_v to_o the_o king_n death-tax_n but_o for_o the_o poor_a so_o to_o pay_v be_v to_o they_o very_o grievous_a for_o there_o be_v many_o thousand_o in_o england_n that_o have_v not_o the_o alm_n of_o the_o parish_n that_o be_v in_o such_o miserable_a condition_n by_o mean_n of_o the_o late_a and_o present_a hard_a time_n that_o they_o have_v scarce_o swaddling-cloathe_n to_o wrap_v up_o their_o new_a bear_a babe_n in_o when_o they_o come_v into_o the_o world_n nor_o scarce_a money_n to_o buy_v bread_n for_o such_o little_a one_o as_o they_o have_v before_o and_o then_o some_o time_n it_o may_v be_v that_o some_o of_o those_o poor_a little_a innocent_a creature_n die_v mere_o for_o want_n of_o such_o necessary_a food_n as_o they_o shall_v have_v and_o than_o their_o come_v both_o to_o one_o time_n birth-money_n and_o death-money_n to_o be_v pay_v and_o pay_v it_o they_o must_v and_o this_o drive_v such_o poor_a to_o great_a strait_n for_o then_o some_o of_o they_o be_v force_v to_o sell_v some_o of_o their_o household-good_n to_o raise_v money_n to_o pay_v such_o tax_n o_o sad_a it_o be_v with_o they_o and_o beyond_o my_o capacity_n to_o find_v word_n suitable_a to_o set_v forth_o all_o their_o grievance_n and_o trouble_n which_o many_o thousand_o in_o england_n of_o late_o have_v and_o now_o do_v labour_n under_o they_o and_o therefore_o i_o will_v trouble_v your_o most_o gracious_a majesty_n and_o the_o parliament_n no_o far_o in_o these_o discourse_n but_o will_v conclude_v all_o their_o complaint_n of_o this_o nature_n in_o these_o one_o or_o two_o true_a story_n which_o i_o hear_v as_o it_o come_v from_o the_o mouth_n of_o one_o ●hat_n be_v a_o gatherer_n of_o the_o tax_n

of_o such_o tax-money_n look_v round_o about_o the_o poor_a man_n house_n to_o find_v a_o place_n to_o lay_v his_o book_n ●n_o that_o he_o may_v then_o write_v down_o the_o say_v poor_a man_n name_n

down_o my_o name_n and_o how_o much_o money_n you_o have_v receive_v from_o i_o and_o so_o this_o poor_a man_n immediate_o so_o stoop_v down_o and_o the_o receiver_n of_o such_o tax-mony_n do_v then_o rest_v his_o book_n on_o the_o say_v poor_a man_n back_n whilst_o he_o the_o receiver_n write_v down_o the_o poor_a man_n name_n and_o the_o sum_n he_o then_o receive_v of_o he_o and_o thus_o i_o end_v my_o first_o true_a story_n my_o second_o true_a story_n be_v this_o there_o be_v also_o a_o poor_a widow_n woman_n of_o our_o say_a town_n of_o tiverton_n who_o have_v bury_v several_a child_n

except_o by_o our_o true_a repentance_n and_o amendment_n of_o life_n we_o endeavour_v to_o prevent_v they_o by_o put_v a_o speedy_a stop_n to_o these_o our_o most_o horrid_a crime_n which_o daily_o and_o hourly_o we_o commit_v against_o god_n otherwise_o it_o be_v much_o to_o be_v doubt_v that_o our_o land_n at_o last_o may_v become_v a_o wilderness_n indeed_o but_o again_o it_o may_v be_v say_v there_o be_v good_a and_o wholesome_a law_n make_v to_o prevent_v all_o manner_n of_o wickedness_n and_o what_o can_v there_o be_v more_o do_v to_o prevent_v such_o evil_n than_o there_o be_v do_v already_o to_o this_o i_o answer_v there_o be_v good_a and_o who_o lsome_a law_n already_o make_v and_o sufficient_a enough_o to_o punish_v all_o manner_n of_o vice_n but_o there_o be_v now_o but_o few_o complainer_n against_o vice_n and_o wickedness_n for_o some_o be_v afraid_a to_o complain_v because_o perhaps_o for_o so_o do_v they_o doubt_v thereby_o they_o shall_v reap_v to_o themselves_o nothing_o but_o evil-will_a and_o disdain_n and_o than_o other_o there_o be_v that_o area_n much_o ashamed_a to_o complain_v and_o so_o by_o mean_n of_o some_o such_o and_o such_o other_o like_o thing_n these_o good_a and_o wholesome_a law_n be_v not_o put_v in_o due_a execution_n as_o they_o ought_v to_o be_v but_o why_o such_o thing_n as_o these_o be_v shall_v be_v so_o i_o can_v tell_v except_o it_o be_v because_o there_o be_v a_o general_a corruption_n creep_v into_o the_o nature_n of_o most_o man_n which_o make_v the_o wicked_a so_o concientious_a towards_o the_o ungodly_a or_o if_o they_o do_v accuse_v one_o the_o other_o they_o will_v not_o stand_v the_o trial_n of_o it_o but_o just_a like_o the_o scribe_n and_o pharisee_n when_o they_o bring_v the_o woman_n take_v in_o adultery_n before_o our_o saviour_n jesus_n christ_n and_o then_o say_v to_o he_o moses_n in_o the_o law_n command_v we_o that_o such_o shall_v be_v stone_v but_o what_o say_v thou_o the_o christ_n answer_v they_o he_o that_o be_v without_o sin_n among_o you_o let_v he_o first_o cast_v a_o stone_n at_o she_o which_o neither_o of_o they_o the_o say_a scibe_n and_o pharisees_n do_v do_v because_o every_o one_o of_o they_o be_v convict_v in_o his_o own_o conscience_n to_o be_v as_o great_a a_o sinner_n as_o the_o woman_n who_o they_o have_v then_o take_v in_o adultery_n and_o so_o their_o own_o

all_o alone_a but_o when_o christ_n observe_v that_o he_o say_v unto_o she_o woman_n where_o be_v those_o thy_o accuser_n have_v no_o man_n condemn_v thou_o she_o say_v no_o man_n lord_n and_o jesus_n say_v unto_o she_o neither_o do_v i_o condemn_v thou_o go_v and_o sin_n no_o more_o see_v in_o the_o 8_o chapter_n of_o saint_n john_n gospel_n begin_v at_o the_o 3_o d._n verse_n and_o so_o on_o

all_o for_o all_o sort_n of_o man_n that_o know_v themselves_o to_o be_v guilty_a of_o any_o manner_n of_o crime_n or_o other_o wickednese_n whatsoever_o first_o of_o all_o earnest_o to_o seek_v god_n

endeavour_v to_o the_o utmost_a of_o their_o power_n true_a amendment_n of_o life_n and_o then_o undoubted_o all_o such_o of_o we_o as_o be_v now_o ashamed_a to_o accuse_v on_o the_o other_o may_v at_o last_o be_v forgive_v or_o at_o least_o excuse_v as_o the_o woman_n take_v in_o adultery_n be_v provide_v on_o such_o condition_n that_o well_o all_o of_o we_o will_v full_o resolve_v never_o to_o commit_v any_o such_o most_o ha●nous_a crime_n or_o other_o wickedness_n any_o more_o which_o if_o we_o can_v but_o so_o do_v than_o we_o may_v at_o last_o all_o of_o we_o for_o so_o do_v in_o and_o through_o the_o merit_n of_o our_o most_o bless_a lord_n and_o saviour_n jesus_n christ_n be_v justify_v by_o the_o law_n of_o god_n and_o then_o we_o shall_v have_v no_o need_n to_o trouble_v
