A
Word
to
the
JVRY
in
the
behalfe
of
JOHN
LILBVRN
.
SIRS
.
YOu
are
of
the
Neighbour
,
and
Christ
sheweth
in
the
10th
of
Luke
,
that
that
person
is
a
Neighbour
that
doth
works
of
love
and
mercy
;
it
would
be
an
abominable
cruelty
if
you
should
find
him
guilty
upon
that
pretended
Act
of
Parliament
,
in
regard
he
was
not
legally
accused
or
convicted
of
any
crime
or
Fact
for
which
he
w●s
banished
,
or
that
it
could
be
made
Fe●lony
if
he
returned
.
The
Law
that
Pharoah
made
,
that
the
Midwives
should
destroy
the
male
children
was
as
legal
(
a
the
afore
mentioned
Act
of
Parliament
)
but
the
Midwives
found
the
innocent
babes
not
guilty
,
and
the
Text
saith
God
dealt
well
with
the
Midwives
because
they
feared
the
Lord
.
A
Word
to
the
People
that
shall
hear
remainder
of
the
Triall
of
John
Lilburn
,
or
that
Illegall
Sentence
;
which
is
much
desired
and
eagerly
pursued
to
bee
obtained
by
his
Enemies
.
and
those
that
are
Enemies
to
the
People
of
England
,
in
as
much
as
they
have
made
themselves
Lords
to
rule
contrary
to
Law
.
SAmuel

h
Chap.
verse
45.
And
the
People
sayd
unto
Saul
,
shall●onathan
dye
?
no
as
the
Lord
liveth
he
shall
not
dye
;
So
the
people
rescued
him
;
Likewise
many
of
the
People
of
England
have
sayd
by
their
Petition
▪
shall
John
Lilburn
dye
?
(
and
indeed
all
the
People
of
England
ought
to
say
as
the
Lord
liveth
Iohn
Lilburn
shall
not
dye
)
for
he
hath
not
offended
against
any
Lawes
that
hath
been
made
by
our
Fore-fathers
for
our
Preservation
;
he
hath
only
offended
those
by-Laws
,
which
are
no
Laws
:
But
such
as
have
been
Tyrants
made
it
to
succour
themselves
in
their
Tyranny
;
besides
it
was
made
by
them
that
were
constituted
a
Supream
power
of
this
Nation
,
by
the
People
of
this
Nation
,
who
long
before
demanded
of
them
by
Petitions
to
surrender
their
Power
to
a
new
Representative
equally
chosen
by
the
People
;
For
that
they
the
People
saved
and
judged
,
that
they
did
not
Act
for
the
good
of
the
People
,
but
for
their
own
good
,
and
therefore
were
not
a
Legall
power
qualified
to
make
Lawes
,
after
the
People
by
Petitions
demanded
of
them
,
do
sur●urrender
their
Authority
.
A
Word
to
the
Souliery
.
YOu
were
first
raised
to
succour
the
People
from
being
subject
to
the
tyrannical
wills
of
Tyrants
,
either
in
their
Lives
or
Estates
,
or
of
the
Lives
or
Estates
of
any
one
of
them
,
or
more
as
in
the
(
as
of
the
Kings
demanding
the
five
Members
)
likewise
consider
that
clause
Di●
mentioneth
of
Trajan
:
when
he
made
A
Captain
he
gaue
him
a
Sword
,
saying
,
If
I
do
well
,
you
see
,
they
for
me
;
If
I
do
amisse
,
imply
it
against
me
;
So
if
those
that
command
you
,
do
command
you
to
defend
any
members
of
this
Common-wealth
(
whose
servants
ye
be
,
of
whom
you
receive
pay
)
you
are
to
obey
them
therein
,
but
on
the
contrary
,
if
they
command
you
to
kill
,
or
gu●rd
the
illegal
Execution
of
any
one
Member
of
the
Common
wealth
,
you
are
not
to
obey
them
therein
;
but
in
stead
thereof
▪
imply
your
Armes
against
those
that
impose
such
illegal
,
cruel
,
and
bloody
commands
upon
you
.
