B08555	To the Right Honourable, the Parliament of England Right Honourable, I once more the name of the most high God beseech you, to remove the old Earth and set up the new, as God hath ordained, by setting up the government among us, with the laws, the statutes, and judgements of God contained in the word; it being the alone foundation on which God will establish the nations which he hath now shaken, and is about to shake, when things shaken shall be removed ...

men like your selfe which bears their superscription and hath their Image of lightnesse corruption and vanity ingraven on it In your Introduction You condemn the peoples lightnesse in too soon believing and being lead of men which is truth they looking to customs and antiquitys to the neglecting of Gods truth and verity the traditions of men having for a long time made void the Laws of God Sir you say what Mr. Peters wrote was as the Tohu vabohu in the Creation which yet did appertain to the Creation of God and God gave being to that but not to your Law which is part of the old earth that is shortly to be removed Rev. 21.1 And whereas you say the plain honest man knows not the Law I think it 's clear nor you nor those that have studied them longest know them not nor is there any Priviledge to the Nation by them but is that thing this day stands between them their Priviledges which is the divine Law and Communion with their God mens being in place thereof your Laws Foundations and Institutions had their being from the corrupted reason of the Heathen which you say is not inconsistent with right reason and Scripture whose proceedings Laws and punishment infinitely differ from that commanded of God which being proved by your most ingenuous Confession and as you say by the judgement of all Lawyers is to be casheer'd out of their very countenance as an excrementitious thing obsolet and uselesse to hear which from your self makes me admire wonder at the progresse truth hath made among men which I hope Sir was no rude nor suddain conception in you but the best which like a good Orator at last you offer at the feet of Authority as the thing that is most worthy to be taken up and judged by them and as the only cause of God and the Nation your writing to Mr. Peters Legentem oportet credere hath joyned with it very amphibologicall termes where you charge him with this fault that he hints little of Scripture I hope the motion for a Government and Law that is altogether contained therein will find a placid acceptation with you and all love God in truth which are not placita principum nor clericorum neither your preferring your Law before all Law in the world is very unjustifiable whiles the Law of God remains therein whose descent is from God and heaven and not from men and earth as yours is and as for the continuance of your Law you know that the Kingdome of God by the Kings of the world and the Church by the power of Antichrist have of a long time lain desolate your self acknowledge your law to be chaffey who yet seeth not as God sees what is chaff therein you desire to have the corruption of the Law to be destroy'd in whose very foundation the pure eyes of the righteous God seeth nothing else but corruption it self which God in the fire of his Zeal will consume and destroy your presumption of Mr. Peters is viz. that if he were acquainted with your Law and it's principles c. the best whereof are but reason and experiences which he is capable of as other men but of the worst thereof he and my self are ignorant and all except the men that professe it to whom for my part I leave them as that that hath not long to live and to say in this Mr Peters medled out of his calling being a Law Witnesse 1. If any have a call he hath one to do what he did 2. I know not that God made it a call or trading to plead his Law every man being to be a Lawyer and to know that Law by which he was to live and in case of offence to be judged by it who from their infancy were to be brought up in the knowledge of it so that you can never prove that the disposition and steerage of aff●ctions makes a sufficient call in an unwarrantable practise and if the Law as you say be a common Birth-right any man in desiring the best Law cannot be said to be abroad and not at home you say facile est inventis addere which proves your Laws imperfection and the perfection of Gods is proved in this that nothing is to be added thereunto the good if any be in yours is swallowed up in this because it is far better and by this you see it is not warrantable to offer any thing that is new but what only is in the Word and whereas you because a Professor will not plead for your own Law I therefore because I professe this plead for it which should I not do were in some kind to deny it and betray it which I fear to do and whereas you will sit under the sentence of men you and I must dwell and lie for ever under the Majesty and the sentence of the Law and Judgement of God and cannot avoid it and it is easier to kick against the pricks then to oppose in word or writing against the Royall Law of the eternall and mighty God the wounds of conscience being most unsufferable to a creature In your answer to his Proposalls you say he hath spoke all and more then he knows which is very much to be done in so few words and little paper yet indeed a man in a little that is not good may know so much that he desires to know no more now that there were Registers or Scribes belonging to every place of Judicature in the Jews Republike is clear which I think Mr. Peters means whose book I have not read in which place of Judicature sat daily two Judges to expedit Justice and avoid delaies of causes which Judges were chosen by the people by many notes of integrity which people had first covenanted with God in the way of the Law the Judges Power under God was not arbitrary but confined to the revealed Law of God from which they were not to decline either to the right hand or to the left from whom in clear cases was no appeale and with Mr. Peters I say the happinesse of Government lieth not in humane Laws as we see by experience but good men when they see to the executing of them And with your self there must be good Laws viz. Gods or good men in Authority will do but little good when good men live under the command of them as well to execute it's punishments as to do it 's other Injunctions To P. 6. When this Republike is made agreeable to that of the Jews which I am bold to say will be not only entailes but the bottom and being of things will most certainly be strangely altred changed or removed and it is the will of God that the first born whether Male or Female should have a double portion P. 7. You allow that the Moralls and Judicialls of Moses are the best Laws yea you say all honest and just Lawyers concur therein and it were very strange if they should not the act
