A
true
Relation
of
the
Cruel
dealings
of
William
Pocklington
of
North
Collingham
in
the
County
of
Nottingham
,
with
the
Innocent
People
of
God
called
Quakers
,
in
the
same
County
.
WIlliam
Pocklington
is
a
man
that
hath
caused
great
and
heavy
Sufferings
to
be
inflicted
upon
us
for
more
than
nine
years
,
and
he
still
groweth
in
his
Envy
and
Cruelty
towards
us
,
as
one
that
hatcheth
mischief
upon
his
bed
,
so
that
we
are
constrained
to
bear
our
Testimony
against
his
evil
deeds
and
actions
,
which
are
briefly
comprehended
in
these
particulars
following
.
-
1.
He
caused
William
Smith
of
Besthorp
to
be
arrested
in
his
own
name
for
Tythes
,
when
the
Tythes
of
that
place
were
not
in
his
own
hand
;
and
William
Smith
was
sent
to
Prison
,
and
kept
a
Prisoner
about
21
weeks
.
-
2.
He
caused
William
Smith
to
be
arrested
again
in
his
own
name
for
Tythes
,
when
the
Tythes
were
not
yet
in
his
own
hand
,
and
then
William
Smith
had
clearness
to
give
bond
for
his
appearance
,
and
did
appear
according
to
Law
.
-
3.
He
caused
Robert
Carnel
of
North
Collingham
,
to
be
arrested
upon
forfeit
of
the
Bond
for
William
Smiths
appearance
,
Robert
being
bound
with
William
for
his
appearance
;
and
Robert
was
sent
to
Prison
,
and
kept
a
prisoner
about
12
weeks
,
notwithstanding
William
Smith
had
discharged
the
Bond
by
his
appearance
.
-
4.
He
caused
Thomas
Elsam
of
Gerton
,
to
be
arrested
for
Tythes
,
and
much
of
his
Hay
and
Corn
were
taken
for
Tythes
,
and
Thomas
was
sent
to
Prison
,
and
kept
a
Prisoner
a
long
time
.
-
5.
He
caused
William
Thorpe
of
Gerton
to
be
arrested
,
and
sent
to
Prison
,
for
about
two
or
three
Cocks
of
Corn
,
which
he
pretended
were
due
to
him
for
Tythes
.
-
6.
He
caused
William
Smiths
Corn
to
be
taken
off
his
Land
for
Tythes
,
after
the
Tythes
came
into
his
own
hand
;
and
then
caused
him
to
be
arrested
again
for
Tythes
,
and
he
was
kept
a
Prisoner
above
five
years
,
and
his
Corn
taken
both
before
and
all
that
time
.
-
7.
He
caused
about
nineteen
men
to
be
sent
to
Prison
for
meeting
peaceably
together
to
wait
upon
God
,
and
to
worship
God
in
Spirit
and
Truth
;
and
they
suffered
a
long
time
.
-
8.
He
often
caused
our
peaceable
Meetings
to
be
broken
up
,
and
he
himself
present
;
he
caused
some
women
to
be
thrust
forth
of
the
Town
,
and
charged
the
Constable
of
Gerton
,
that
he
should
not
suffer
them
to
meet
in
the
Night
;
and
some
Women-friends
being
one
night
with
a
Woman
in
travel
,
the
Constable
came
,
and
would
not
suffer
them
to
stay
.
-
9.
He
caused
the
Town
where
we
usually
met
,
to
set
Watch-men
at
the
Gate
,
to
keep
us
forth
of
the
House
,
and
we
were
constrained
to
keep
our
Meeting
abroad
upon
a
Green
,
though
the
season
was
wet
and
cold
:
And
the
Town
was
put
to
much
charge
with
him
and
his
Company
at
the
Alehouse
,
which
he
much
frequented
,
and
would
make
the
Town
bear
the
Charge
.
This
work
he
continued
for
several
weeks
together
.
-
10.
He
caused
William
Smiths
Goods
to
be
seized
,
after
his
more
than
five
years
imprisonment
;
and
both
his
Sheep
,
Beasts
,
Horse
,
Hay
and
Corn
were
taken
away
,
to
the
value
of
above
threescore
pounds
,
for
Tythes
;
and
William
Smith
was
a
Prisoner
,
and
never
gave
any
appearance
to
the
Writ
,
not
never
knew
of
any
proceedings
against
him
.
Now
all
moderate
People
may
see
how
William
Pocklington
hath
behaved
himself
among
his
neighbours
,
and
how
there
is
neither
love
,
pity
,
mercy
,
justice
,
or
equity
in
his
goings
,
and
how
he
hath
acted
contrary
to
the
Law
of
the
Nation
in
these
following
particulars
.
-
1.
To
Imprison
a
man
for
that
which
is
not
in
his
own
hand
,
but
in
the
hand
of
another
.
-
2.
To
Imprison
a
man
upon
forfeit
of
a
Bond
,
when
the
Bond
is
really
discharged
.
-
3.
To
cause
any
mans
Corn
to
be
taken
off
his
Ground
without
his
consent
.
-
4.
To
come
into
any
mans
house
,
and
pull
such
forth
as
are
peaceably
together
,
and
to
send
them
to
Prison
.
-
5.
To
cause
Watchmen
to
keep
people
forth
of
any
house
where
they
have
just
right
to
come
,
and
to
cause
a
Town
to
pay
Ale-house
reckonings
,
when
the
Town
is
not
concerned
.
-
6.
To
cause
above
sixty
pounds
worth
of
Goods
to
be
taken
for
Tythes
,
and
the
party
Imprisoned
upon
the
Writ
,
and
never
gave
any
appearance
,
and
his
Corn
taken
off
his
Land
for
Tythes
all
the
time
of
his
Imprisonment
and
before
;
and
sometimes
a
whole
Land
of
Corn
taken
away
together
for
Tythes
.
And
now
whether
we
have
not
sufficient
cause
to
bear
our
Testimony
against
William
Pocklington
as
a
cruel
merciless
man
;
for
as
his
actions
are
contrary
to
the
Law
,
so
they
are
without
mercy
and
full
of
cruelty
;
and
as
he
is
a
transgressor
of
the
Law
,
he
may
be
justly
questioned
for
his
doings
by
the
Law
:
for
such
dealings
and
proceedings
are
a
shame
to
the
Law
;
that
is
made
for
honest
&
good
ends
,
and
a
shame
to
those
that
practise
in
the
Law
for
honest
and
good
ends
,
that
is
,
to
right
such
as
suffer
wrong
;
and
such
things
are
a
dishonour
to
the
Government
,
as
using
the
Kings
Name
in
what
is
so
done
.
For
William
Pockington
told
a
Friend
,
That
the
King
knew
of
the
taking
of
William
Smiths
Goods
,
and
that
they
were
taken
in
the
Kings
Name
;
but
the
King
will
have
no
cause
to
take
such
a
man
to
be
his
Friend
,
that
layeth
such
actions
upon
him
and
his
Name
.
And
we
do
the
rather
publish
these
things
,
that
both
the
King
and
Country
may
have
certain
knowledge
of
them
,
and
also
of
William
Pocklington
,
who
hath
done
and
caused
them
to
be
done
.
And
during
the
time
in
which
he
was
causing
such
spoile
to
be
made
upon
William
Smiths
Goods
,
there
were
some
Papers
delivered
to
him
as
followeth
.
William
Pocklington
,
The
Lord
God
dwelleth
in
the
Light
,
and
his
power
is
over
all
,
and
in
the
Light
he
beholdeth
all
thy
unjust
and
illegal
proceedings
,
which
thou
actest
by
the
Prince
of
Darkness
,
which
now
ruleth
in
thee
;
but
the
Lord
stand
at
our
right
hand
,
and
with
true
judgment
and
righteousness
will
plead
our
cause
against
thee
;
and
when
he
shall
execute
the
fierceness
of
his
wrath
what
wilt
thou
then
do
?
thy
fair
words
wherewith
thou
flatterest
thy self
and
others
,
will
not
then
hide
thee
,
for
in
the
Light
thy
deeds
are
all
manifest
,
and
in
the
hearts
of
all
moderate
men
,
they
appear
exceeding
evil
and
full
of
cruelty
:
therefore
in
love
to
thy
soul
I
warn
thee
to
repent
,
and
return
that
which
thou
unjustly
hast
caused
to
be
taken
from
us
,
or
be
thou
sure
the
Lord
(
for
whose
Truth
we
suffer
)
will
visit
thee
in
thy
inward
parts
,
and
there
he
will
be
a
terrour
to
thee
and
will
terrifie
thee
day
and
night
,
but
his
peace
is
,
and
for
ever
will
remain
with
us
.
Elizabeth
Smith
.
Friend
,
William
Pocklington
,
there
is
a
great
cry
in
the
Country
concerning
thy
actions
and
doings
,
by
which
the
eyes
of
People
thereabouts
are
over
thee
,
wondering
what
will
be
the
end
thereof
,
and
are
amazed
that
the
Earth
opens
not
her
mouth
and
swallows
thee
up
,
for
I
have
not
heard
the
like
cry
and
noise
,
between
London
and
the
Town
where
thou
livest
.
Thou
who
didst
keep
William
Smith
,
a
Neighbour
,
about
five
years
in
Prison
,
and
now
for
the
value
of
about
four
Nobles
,
hast
taken
above
sixty
pounds
worth
of
goods
from
him
,
having
gotten
a
Judgement
by
some
indirect
means
,
unknown
to
him
and
his
Attourney
how
thou
hast
stollen
out
this
Judgement
;
Dost
thou
think
the
Truth
will
not
search
and
find
out
such
things
?
Dost
thou
think
that
such
unparrallel'd
actions
of
thine
must
lye
and
steep
?
Didst
thou
not
rage
at
the
Bailiffs
,
because
they
did
not
pluck
his
very
Bed
from
under
him
(
he
being
sick
and
lame
)
when
thou
hadst
taken
away
his
Sheep
and
Beasts
,
and
seized
upon
his
Hay
and
Corn
,
and
locked
up
his
Barn
door
,
for
the
value
of
four
Nobles
,
for
Tythes
pretended
?
Is
not
this
contrary
to
humanity
,
and
Christianity
?
Dost
thou
not
think
that
the
Lords
eye
is
open
to
behold
and
see
thy
actions
,
and
dost
thou
think
that
he
will
let
the
wicked
go
unpunished
?
Dost
thou
think
he
will
suffer
the
Spoiler
to
go
without
his
Reward
?
and
dost
thou
think
that
thou
which
ravens
so
much
after
the
goods
of
others
,
and
casts
them
into
prison
,
also
driving
away
their
goods
by
droves
,
and
locking
up
the
Barn
door
,
and
art
so
greedy
after
the
earth
,
dost
thou
think
that
the
Lord
will
not
stop
and
fill
thy
mouth
with
earth
ere
long
?
Dost
thou
think
that
the
Country
taketh
not
notice
of
thy
lying
in
Alehouses
,
drinking
and
making
spoil
of
the
goods
of
the
Innocent
,
thy
selling
and
making
bargains
in
the
Alehouse
of
them
?
Dost
thou
not
think
there
is
a
God
that
will
punish
the
wicked
,
or
a
Christ
that
will
render
vengeance
upon
the
ungodly
?
his
hand
is
over
thee
,
and
thou
wilt
feel
it
to
thy
judgment
and
condemnation
.
Oh
happy
would
it
be
,
if
thou
couldst
find
a
place
for
repentance
!
An
Old
Man
with
gray
hairs
doting
after
the
goods
of
the
Innocent
,
loading
himself
with
the
spoil
!
I
believe
thou
wilt
have
thy
load
,
when
thou
hast
gotten
all
the
above
said
sixty
pounds
,
of
Cattle
,
Sheep
,
Hay
and
Corn
upon
thy
head
;
thou
wilt
find
the
weight
of
it
upon
thy
head
to
make
thy
neck
crack
.
Oh
full
of
darkness
,
who
hatest
the
Light
,
thou
hast
forgotten
the
time
when
thou
wast
in
thy
affliction
,
what
did
William
Smith
do
for
the
then
!
Oh
cumber
not
the
ground
thou
fruitless
tree
,
for
the
earth
will
vomit
thee
out
,
and
God
will
vomit
out
all
such
as
gather
riches
by
cruelty
and
oppression
,
and
the
spoil
of
the
Innocent
will
eat
thee
out
,
thou
wilt
be
never
the
richer
for
it
at
the
years
end
:
for
God
causeth
a
blast
upon
thee
,
and
upon
what
thou
hast
,
and
bringeth
his
plagues
and
judgements
to
consume
what
thou
hast
,
who
delightest
in
spoiling
the
goods
of
the
Innocent
.
What
honour
hast
thou
gained
by
thy
ravening
among
men
but
shame
and
judgement
?
the
time
may
come
that
thou
mayest
wish
,
thou
hadst
never
been
born
.
Reade
the
Execution
and
its
date
,
reade
thy
Liberty
and
its
date
,
and
also
read
thy
own
works
;
to
the
Witness
of
God
in
thee
I
speak
,
that
will
be
thy
condemnation
.
I
say
the
time
may
come
that
thou
maiest
wish
,
that
thou
hadst
never
been
born
.
For
,
oh
man
,
What
hast
thou
been
doing
?
dost
thou
go
on
blindfold
,
dost
thou
not
think
that
the
eye
of
God
and
People
are
over
thee
?
hast
thou
thrown
off
God
,
Christ
,
and
Scriptures
both
?
Canst
thou
not
read
,
nor
see
what
became
of
those
that
filled
their
houses
with
the
spoil
of
the
Innocent
?
and
dost
thou
cry
,
the
Law
hath
done
it
,
and
thou
hast
done
it
by
Law
?
What
Law
?
where
was
William
Smith
when
judgement
was
given
?
Well
,
remember
that
in
thy
life-time
thou
hast
been
warned
,
for
many
visitations
thou
hast
had
;
take
heed
lest
the
day
come
upon
thee
,
wherein
the
evil
spirit
thou
servest
will
torment
thee
,
so
that
thou
wilt
seek
for
death
and
not
find
it
,
when
thy
head
is
full
of
distraction
and
confusion
;
for
Gods
power
is
over
thee
,
and
I
believe
that
all
honest
people
that
are
neighbours
,
that
have
any
fear
of
God
before
their
eyes
,
and
are
of
repute
among
men
,
will
be
ashamed
of
thy
actions
;
so
here
thou
art
come
under
the
judgement
of
God
and
all
good
men
.
Farewell
.
L.
F.
And
notwithstanding
these
faithful
warnings
to
him
,
he
still
pursued
his
work
,
whilst
any
thing
was
left
abroad
to
work
upon
;
and
W.
Smiths
Wife
bearing
Testimony
against
the
wickedness
of
those
that
he
imployed
about
lading
the
Hay
&
Corn
away
,
one
of
the
Bailiffs
said
,
We
have
not
done
yet
,
and
said
,
we
shal
not
have
done
until
you
leave
your
wayes
:
but
we
shall
not
leave
our
wayes
,
that
are
just
and
true
,
to
walk
in
the
ways
of
such
as
follow
mischief
;
for
the
Lord
God
will
render
tribulation
and
vengeance
unto
cruel
and
merciless
men
,
and
that
is
the
Cup
which
they
must
drink
when
they
have
filled
up
their
measure
,
and
finished
their
work
:
But
it
seems
they
have
not
yet
done
,
for
it
is
said
,
that
VVilliam
Pocklington
intendeth
to
take
away
VVilliam
Smiths
Corn
again
the
next
year
,
if
he
sow
his
Land
,
by
which
it
appeareth
that
he
is
hatching
mischief
in
his
mind
so
long
before
the
time
come
.
Object
.
But
is
it
not
reasonable
and
equitable
that
a
man
should
receive
Tythes
that
he
farmeth
and
payeth
rent
for
,
as
a
Farmer
doth
for
his
Farm
?
and
do
not
such
do
him
wrong
as
withhold
Tythes
from
him
that
he
payeth
rent
for
?
Answ.
No
;
it
is
not
reasonable
nor
equitable
that
a
man
should
receive
Tythes
,
though
he
farm
them
and
pay
rent
for
them
;
because
no
man
hath
a
proper
Title
or
Interest
to
let
any
such
part
of
the
profit
and
increase
of
another
;
for
Reason
and
Equity
concludeth
,
that
every
man
is
worthy
to
receive
the
benefit
of
his
own
Land
,
Labour
&
Charge
,
and
that
he
is
not
to
be
forced
to
yeeld
any
part
of
it
to
another
,
neither
is
another
to
force
any
part
from
him
.
And
though
the
sons
of
Levi
had
a
commandment
to
take
Tythes
of
their
Brethren
,
according
to
the
Law
,
yet
that
commandment
is
not
now
to
be
pleaded
as
to
the
same
right
,
because
Christ
Jesus
is
come
and
hath
disannulled
it

7.
And
there
is
no
Law
or
commandment
of
men
that
can
give
a
proper
Title
or
Interest
in
Tythes
under
a
Gospel-administration
;
and
seeing
such
as
let
Tythes
to
farm
have
not
a
proper
Title
or
Interest
to
let
them
,
then
such
as
take
them
,
and
pay
rent
for
them
,
do
covenant
and
agree
in
their
own
wrong
,
and
such
as
withhold
them
,
withhold
them
in
their
own
right
,
as
having
the
same
Title
and
Interest
in
the
tenth
part
,
as
in
the
nine
,
and
none
have
power
to
make
the
tenth
part
a
good
Title
unto
another
;
and
that
maketh
the
taking
of
Tythes
to
be
void
in
the
ground
or
original
:
But
such
as
take
a
Farm
upon
rent
,
they
take
it
from
a
good
Title
and
Interest
,
if
it
be
a
clear
Estate
without
any
Incumberance
,
and
they
are
worthy
to
receive
the
profits
which
they
pay
rent
for
,
because
the
Letter
hath
a
good
Title
in
the
Land
,
and
the
Farmer
bestoweth
his
labour
and
charge
upon
it
;
and
these
are
propper
and
peculiar
Rights
,
both
in
the
Letter
and
the
Farmer
;
and
it
is
agreeable
to
Reason
and
Equity
,
as
a
Branch
is
agreeable
to
the
Root
that
bears
it
.
But
Tythes
are
taken
out
of
the
Land
,
Labour
and
Charge
of
another
,
which
is
no
way
agreeable
to
Reason
and
Equity
.
And
though
many
Disputations
and
Arguments
have
been
,
and
yet
are
maintained
to
uphold
them
,
some
by
Divine
Right
,
and
some
by
Humane
Right
,
yet
the
matter
is
determined
in
a
few
words
;
for
since
Christ
disannul'd
the
Commandment
under
the
Law
,
Tythes
have
never
been
pay'd
by
Divine
Right
,
and
no
Humane
Power
can
make
them
of
right
due
unto
any
man
whatsoever
.
So
Christ
having
ended
the
payment
of
Tythes
,
as
to
the
Jews
observation
,
and
that
there
is
no
command
for
them
to
be
paid
under
the
Gospel-dispensation
,
they
must
needs
be
now
introduced
by
some
framed
Invention
,
and
that
cannot
be
a
ground
to
force
the
payment
of
them
;
and
we
that
are
called
Quakers
,
have
well
weighed
these
things
in
the
Light
with
which
Christ
Jesus
hath
enlightened
us
,
in
which
Light
we
have
seen
his
coming
,
and
the
end
of
the
Law
and
first
Covenant
by
his
coming
,
and
a
necessity
is
laid
upon
us
to
confess
his
coming
;
and
we
are
satisfied
,
that
neither
Priest
nor
Impropriator
have
a
good
Interest
in
Tythes
under
the
Gospel-administration
:
We
do
not
deny
them
from
any
opinion
,
conceit
,
or
self-ends
,
as
some
would
charge
us
,
but
in
love
to
Christ
Jesus
,
who
hath
given
his
Testimony
freely
to
us
;
and
it
is
evident
that
we
do
not
deny
Tythes
from
any
opinion
,
conceit
,
or
self-ends
,
for
we
suffer
Imprisonment
many
years
together
,
at
a
great
charge
and
loss
of
time
,
and
many
have
suffered
the
loss
of
their
natural
lives
by
such
imprisonments
;
and
we
suffer
the
spoiling
and
loss
of
our
goods
,
to
the
value
of
many
pounds
,
whereas
a
few
shillings
might
satisfie
if
we
could
willingly
pay
our
Tythes
;
so
that
only
Conscience
sake
towards
God
is
the
ground
why
we
deny
them
;
and
it
is
opinion
,
conceit
,
and
self-ends
in
such
as
take
them
.
And
it
doth
plainly
appear
in
what
William
Pocklington
hath
done
concerning
William
Smith
,
upon
that
very
account
,
and
also
in
what
many
Priests
and
Impropriators
have
done
as
to
many
others
,
who
are
faithful
in
their
Testimony
unto
the
coming
of
Christ
Jesus
.
And
now
,
VVilliam
Pocklington
,
thou
art
called
up
to
the
Bar
of
Truth
,
and
forasmuch
as
thou
,
not
having
the
fear
of
God
before
thy
eyes
,
hast
acted
and
done
such
wicked
things
as
are
before
related
,
contrary
to
the
Law
of
God
and
Nature
,
and
also
contrary
to
the
Law
of
the
Nation
,
and
so
against
the
King
his
Crown
and
Dignity
;
and
that
they
are
true
concerning
thee
,
thou
art
found
guilty
of
Persecution
,
and
Truth
giveth
Judgment
upon
that
spirit
that
ruleth
in
thee
,
and
by
the
Truth
it
is
condemned
for
ever
,
and
Truth
marketh
thee
for
a
wicked
Persecutor
and
cruel
Spoiler
.
O
William
,
Sorrow
will
fill
thy
heart
,
though
for
a
time
thou
maist
make
thy self
merry
with
thy
Alehouse
company
,
but
O
thy
End
,
thy
End
!
what
will
it
be
,
thou
wilt
know
when
it
comes
,
and
it
cometh
swiftly
,
and
thou
canst
not
be
hid
,
the
Lord
wil
find
thee
&
judg
thee
according
to
thy
works
,
for
thou
hast
long
reigned
in
thy
wickedness
,
and
thy
presumption
is
so
high
as
that
thou
goest
on
from
evil
to
worse
,
neither
leaving
Cattel
for
Fodder
,
nor
Fodder
for
Cattel
,
nor
Seed
for
the
Sower
;
and
we
cannot
let
thee
lie
any
longer
as
a
Fox
in
his
hole
that
alwayes
watcheth
how
he
may
come
to
his
prey
and
devour
the
Lambs
,
but
we
must
testifie
against
thy
evil
deeds
,
and
lay
thy
wickedness
upon
thy
own
head
,
and
it
will
be
a
load
upon
thee
in
the
day
of
thy
Judgment
,
for
thou
hast
always
been
lifted
up
with
pride
and
vain
glory
;
and
thou
hast
always
sought
to
bear
rule
over
others
with
a
high
hand
,
and
because
we
cannot
bend
unto
thee
thou
exercisest
cruelty
;
but
we
rejoyce
in
the
Truth
which
is
over
thee
,
and
thou
canst
neither
ruine
us
nor
root
us
out
;
and
both
the
King
and
Country
have
cause
to
be
jealous
of
thee
,
who
art
so
full
of
pride
,
deceit
and
hypocrisie
;
for
how
can
it
be
expected
that
thou
shouldst
be
true
to
the
King
and
Country
in
thy
Office
of
High
Constable
,
when
thy
actions
are
so
notoriously
wicked
?
and
notwithstanding
thy
wicked
intention
to
ruine
us
,
and
thy
high
expectation
of
enriching
thy self
with
what
thou
takest
from
us
,
yet
the
Lord
may
frustrate
thy
end
in
both
,
and
he
may
take
thee
in
thy
own
snare
;
for
that
which
thou
wickedly
intendest
against
others
may
fall
upon
thy self
,
a●d
the
Lord
may
cause
thy
own
work
to
torment
thee
,
by
turning
it
upon
thee
;
but
as
for
the
Innocent
he
saves
them
in
his
hand
,
and
they
feel
his
mercy
.
Now
read
thy self
,
thy
works
&
name
,
for
thou
hast
gotten
a
name
that
will
remain
unto
future
generations
,
and
they
will
read
thee
to
be
a
Perscutor
,
&
so
thou
wilt
leave
an
ill
savour
behind
thee
;
and
except
thou
repent
,
thy
works
will
be
a
continual
torment
to
thee
,
and
thou
wilt
certainly
perish
for
ever
.
And
all
such
as
are
partakers
with
William
Pocklington
in
his
wicked
works
,
and
make
your selves
merry
with
him
in
the
Alehouses
,
and
buy
such
goods
as
by
his
means
are
unjustly
taken
from
the
right
owners
,
you
must
all
come
to
repentance
,
for
you
are
in
the
same
spirit
of
wickedness
;
and
the
spoil
which
you
greedily
purchase
will
be
a
scourge
upon
you
(
mark
the
end
of
it
)
therefore
repent
and
fear
the
living
God
,
and
make
not
a
mock
at
Sin
,
nor
be
scornful
at
Reproof
,
for
the
Lord
will
not
hold
you
guiltless
.
O
read
your
works
,
you
evil
workers
,
who
sport
your selves
in
your
own
wickedness
,
Read
your
Wantonness
,
Drunkenness
,
Swearing
,
Cursing
,
Lying
,
Deceit
,
Laughter
and
Madness
;
read
your
own
conditions
,
and
see
whether
you
be
like
men
&
Christians
,
or
worse
than
Infidels
and
Heathens
;
for
the
Heathens
have
more
sobriety
and
honesty
as
men
;
&
if
you
will
not
turn
at
reproof
&
cease
from
wickedness
,
the
Lord
will
bring
weeping
&
wailing
and
gnashing
of
teeth
upon
you
;
and
this
is
to
you
all
whose
faces
are
set
to
do
wickedly
,
that
ye
may
repent
before
calamity
come
upon
you
,
and
it
is
spread
abroad
as
a
Testimony
against
all
evil
works
and
workers
;
for
it
is
not
good
to
have
respect
of
persons
in
judgment
;
He
th●●
saith
to
the
wicked
,
Thou
art
Righteous
,
him
shall
the
people
curse
,
Nations
sha●
abhor
him
;
but
to
them
that
rebuke
him
,
shal
be
delight
,
and
a
good
blessing
shal
come
upon
them
,
Pro.

And
this
Testimony
the
Lord
God
upholdeth
where
he
sets
it
,
and
the
wickedness
of
the
wicked
cannot
root
it
out
or
destroy
it
,
