A further Testimony to Truth or some Earnest Groans for a Righteous Settlement in this hour of distraction agreeable to the late Essay so suitably offered by some Friends and Brethren to this purpose By some Baptized Congregations and other Cordial Lovers and Assertors of the Publick Good Old Cause in the Counties of Leicester Nottingham Rutland Lincoln Stafford Darby and Shropshire To all that bear good will to Zion and love the Lord Jesus that have either power opportunity or hearts to appear for Him and his Righteous Cause in this Day THat in sense of the late eminent and wonderful appearance of the Lord who hath pleased not only thereby to work out so miraculous a salvation and deliverance for a poor scattered and divided handful of his unworthy people from the rage and malice of a potent united and inraged enemy that like Bees on every side rose up against them But more especially and that which is more worth then thousands of our Lives and Liberties has he given such good hopes by his still continued Revolutions and Over-turnings of reviving his blessed Cause again in the midst of us after so many years death upon it viz. The Exaltation of the Kingdome and Interest of Jesus Christ the glorious King of Saints and Nations in the promised ruine and downfall of the Tyrannous Beastly and Antichristian Interest which for so many hundred years has so bloudily domineer'd in the earth We therefore having our hearts somewhat warmed and affected herewith seeing as yet so little improvement of the opportunity once more offered do take our selves concerned with others of our dear Brethren that have gone before us herein to be pleading and crying out for those things which the Lords late Voice seems loudly to call for at our hands And first we desire in sense of his great goodness and as we would be serviceable to the Lord in his great designs on foot earnestly to stir up our selves and all the Lords people that are any way toucht with his late gracious Appearance to a speedy thorough and serious search how far any have had heart or hand in the late Dreadful Revolt and turning aside from the Lord in that fearful Apostacy by setting up standing by or flatteringly addressing to either of those two persons or others that in opposition to the Work and Cause of God has in chief been set over us occasioning so much Atheisme Reproach and Blasphemy And that as any may be justly chargeable herewith that there be accordingly a hearty return to the Lord by a suitable repentance taking the shame and giving God the glory Secondly that since the Lord has been pleased once again by his distinguishing Providence upon the late decision to make a visible separation betwixt friends and enemies and so far to unravel the Apostacy whose chief work it was to twist all Interests together as though Christ and Antichrist were to be united that in order to common preservation and protection and the securing our beings all speedy and lawful wayes may be taken for the incorporating uniting and impowering all known friends the discountenancing weakning and outing all known enemies And thirdly we do as in conscience bound cry out for some speedy exemplary Justice and punishment upon the heads of all sorts that had their hands in the late Treason and Rebellion that occasioned the expence of that Blood and Treasure and gave such general disturbance throughout these three Nations And fourthly in order to our well-being and carrying on a thorough Reformation so long groaned after and bled for we loudly call out for that holy equal brief and plain Law given by God in the Scriptures to be the declared Law of these Nations in opposition to the heathenish tyrannous and Popish Laws yet in force amongst us And that men that are best read and practised and most answering the qualifications of Magistrates according to Scripture-Rule viz. men of courage fearing God and hating covetousness may be only imploy'd as near as possible to dispence and execute under Christ this righteous Rule in opposition to the ignorant prophane and scandalous that so also some speedy course may be taken to suppress that dilatory vexatious and oppressive way that has so long been exercis'd by the mercenary cruel and covetous Lawyers the shame of our Nation and so utterly in their corrupt course of practise inconsistent to a Commonwealth Fifthly that as the most effectual way to suppress and remove the Antichristian Ministery who have been such Ring-leaders in this late Rebellion and so consequently to promote and propagate the Gospel of Jesus Christ and the New-Testament-Ministration thereof First we claim that the imposition of that Jewish and Antichristian yoke of Tythes be removed And the rather First Because we find neither Law of God nor by his Providence any from man at this day to inforce the same Secondly Because of late there has been that light that strength of Reason and Argument offered to publike view both from the Laws of God and Man that none has been able to stand before or rationally to reply unto See Milton Pierson Osburn c. And secondly that as an intolerable burden inconsistent with the Liberty of Conscience unto all the Rulers forbear for ever to impose any National or Parochial Ministery so as to inforce any form of Worship suited to their interest or compel men of one perswasion to maintain any man of another in the Ministery or to lay a stumbling-block in the way of unbelievers to the derogation of Christ by compelling them to maintain his Ministers And lastly the better to make all this practicable and to remove all lets out of the way we do most earnestly beg and cry aloud for a speedy and effectual applying the Rule laid down by the late Rulers so agreeable to the Word of God to all Officers in Publike Trust both Civil and Military throughout the Nation which we herewith insert wishing it may be writ in Letters of Gold for every one to take notice of that he that runs may read viz. That Declaration of the ninth of May 1659. That all such as shall be in any place of Trust and Power within this Commonwealth be able for the discharge of such Trust and that they be persons fearing God that have given testimony of their true love to all the people of God and of their faithfulness to the Cause of this Commonwealth And that all such as answer not this wholesome Rule thus by Gods Providence own'd laid down and asserted as the qualification to Magistracy and Trust be speedily removed all places of Authority and Trust and others be forthwith still called answering the same that our enemies be not our Judges nor rule over us And that there may be a Publike Liberty to charge and that it may be penal for any to continue that are found unanswerable thereto Attested and subscribed in the Name and by the appointment of the respective Congregations under-written viz.
