A80254	The Companions of good consciences: or an appeal of moderation, justice, and equity, or righteousnesse, peace and love (unfolded in the law of God and nature) to the consciencs [sic] of all, both high and low, rich and poor, of all societies and opinions, amoung all nations. With their mournful lamentation over the unrighteousnesses of men. Wherein men may as in a looking-glasse behold themselves, whether they bear the image of God in their power, places, judgments and callings; or the image of the Divel; for his servants ye are whom ye obey; whether of righteousness and obedience &c. to salvation: or of injustice, pride, envie and deceit, &c. to damnation. Herein the God of justice hath said, the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it, every one shall be recompenced according to his deeds done in the flesh, whether good or evil. Where then, Lord, shall the unjust, the oppressor, the proud, the covetous, the envious, and all manner of unrighteousness appear? Take it effectually to thy heart.		1653 (1653)	Wing C5582; Thomason E710_17; ESTC R207193	7,978	15

to come may reap the fruits of your supplications and who knoweth but that the blessed Age foretold by the holy Prophets declared in holy Scriptures may become fulfilled in our days Lament therefore saying LORD LORD God everlasting How long shall the voyce of thy holy Angel be heard in the Heavens read and testified in the sacred Scriptures giving Glory to God on high proclaiming Peace on the Earth Good-will towards Men and yet the joyful sound thereof not once enter nor pierce into the hearts of the Inhabitants therof to learn righteousness because the Honor Lordliness and Pride thereof hath stopped their ears and the deceitfulness of riches Luxury and Malice which worketh Revenge hath hardened their hearts that they will not nor cannot hear nor understand within themselves to glorifie the most high God by and in all their works nor understand they aright within themselves the publishing of the Gospel of a peaceable Life which is attended and preserved by Love and good will among men O thou immense Power that by thy unresistible Word gave a Being to all Being and broughtest all things into a creaturely form that hast called the generations of men out of the dust and hast ordained all things in their kind to declare thy Wonders and thy magnificent Power O thou omnipotent God and King of Saints how long shall this Earth which thou hast formed be without thy Government and the creatures which thou hast set therin to rule rebel against thee in that they will not suffer thee in thy righteous Laws Statutes Ordinances to reign over them How long LORD how long shall the beast like natured-men arrogate the Name of Christians or how long shall the Name of Christians be imputed unto men that ☞ trace not the upright paths of Christ that obey not his Commandments that reject the Law of Love which is of wonderful and large extent and herein are become the true Antichrists for whosoever is not with thee is against thee How long O thou Righteous One just and true in all thy Judgments shall the judgments of dust and ashes contradict thy Righteousness and the presence of thy Glory in the purity of thy Laws be obscured upon the Earth through the corrupted lusts of men How long O thou Lover of Righteousness among the Creatures shall the just Cause of the Needy ones and men of low degree perish out of the Earth and the Power of the Mighty ones destroy their right How long shall the rich man be respected in Judgment for his riches and the right of the poor and distressed not obtained nor considered though pursued with the cries of prayers and tears Hear O ye Heavens and send deliverance for the Injustice and Wickednesses of Men are great upon Earth O thou holy One of Israel how long shall the rich sit in thy Judgment seat because of his Riches who doubtless too too many of them have ☜ heaped up their Treasure meerly by the sweat oppressions and ruines of their fellow-members and by their study and subtil wits insnare the Innocent and the Ignorant O when shall Injustice be removed out of the Judgment seat that the wills of lofty and proud insulting spirits or of men ambitious of power may no more be a Law over the lives liberties and livelyhoods of them who in the right of Gods Creation are their fellow-members and Brethren O Lord when shall it once be that the Judges of this Earth shall cease the service of Injustice of Bribery of Coverousness and Revenge and of being men-servers or serving their lusts against the Equity Justice and Righteousness of God O when shall it once be that the Judges thereof shall cease to judg for hire or reward or for fear or affection but out of love to Gods Righteousness How long O thou God of long-suffering how long shall Justice and Equity complain in the Land and make her Lamentation in the Country in the Villages in the Towns in the Cities and streets thereof that she is bought and sold and that no man obtaineth her as his birthright How long O ye sons of Perdition and Cainish minded men will ye thirst after the blood and livelyhoods of others to advance your might and power not considering the reason why God hath created you viz. that all men should serve one another in the brotherly love How long Lord righteous and true shall the black clouds of darkness remain over the face of the Earth exemplified in the corrupted minds of men in and amongst all Societies by judging for their own Interest and Party whereby they bear witness against Gods Truth and Righteousness with whom there is no respect of persons whereby it is visibly manifest that the blessed and joyful appearance of the Sun of thy Righteousness which bringeth healing under his wings for all Nations is interposed and eclipsed whose upright Discipline Laws Statutes and Ordinances O England shall give thee Peace in thy Borders and in the midst of thy Enemies uniting the hearts of the Fathers uniting the hearts of the Rulers to the People and of the People to their Rulers uniting the hearts of Superiors to Inferiors and of Inferiors to Superiors uniting all societies and all degrees both high and low in one heart and in one mind to wish desire and endeavor the good the welfare and right of each other not as parties in partiality and hypocrisie but in righteousness and in love in submission and subjection to the good Law of the Lord teaching all men to deny Ungodliness Ambition Covetousness Envy Wrath and worldly lusts and to behave themselves obediently peaceably lowly and righteously in this present evil world Thus the blessed day of Restoration or Redemption shall be accomplished and the Creation of God which groan under mans oppression be delivered and the joyful time foretold by the holy Prophets fulfilled That the Lyon shal lie down with the Lamb and the Leopard with the Kid and the young Lyon and the Fatling together and a Child shall lead them c. and the Lord God Everlasting shall be One and his Laws Statutes and Ordinances observed in a holy and a righteous life be one in one heart and in one mind by all the Lovers of Truth and Righteousness throughout the Land Hasten O Lord hasten to accomplish this thy work and let thy power and long-suffering once overcome the pride of man that would resist thee that we the Inhabitants of this Land in this our generation may be the glory and the rejoycing of succeeding Ages that they in us were ordained and created to see thy Righteousness flourish and established upon the Earth to thy praise and honour among all Nations O thou Creator and Preserver of Men so shall we not resist in our deeds that which Christ hath taught and which with our lips we have prayed for saying Thy Kingdom come thy Will be done in Earth as it is in Heaven for the Kingdoms the Power the Glory and Dominions thereof are thine thou only of right O Lord art worthy to reign henceforth and for ever in the hearts of men Amen Hallelujah Amen Ordered That the pecuniary profit made by the Impression of this
