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.

Ordered, That the pecuniary profit made by the Im∣pression of this Manuscript, bearing this superscrip∣tion [The Companions of a good Conscience] be distri∣buted to the relief of distressed people; and that the propriety hereof be registred, entered, and amplified in all good Consciences, as becometh the Rule of di∣vine Order, for a Pattern and a Memorial to future Generations.

Praise ye the Lord God omnipotent, O ye Inhabi∣tants of the Earth, both high and low; O praise him in works of Righteousness, and magnifie him ☞ in deeds of Mercy, Peace, and Love: Be ye silent before him, O ye Hypocrites, that draw neer with your lips only, for your prayers and your praises are an abomination in his sight. Praise ye him, O all ye his Works, for his Providence is continual∣ly over you. O let every thing that hath breath in its kind yield up its life to the praise of the great Name of the most High; for in him and through him, by him and for him, all things are and were created; to him alone belongeth Honor, Praise and Glory from all his Creatures. Amen, Amen. Hallelujah, Amen.

FINIS.
