ENGLANDS weeping spectacle: OR, The sad condition of Lievtenant Colo∣nell John Lilburne: Crying to all who have any conscience or compassion, for assistance and deliverance from his unjust, long and cruell sufferings.

Wherein (as in a glasse) all Englishmen may see the sla∣vish condition, unto which (after so much blood, time and trea∣sure spent) they are yet by perfidious men (who vowed and pro∣mised to deliver them from all tyrannie and oppression) still most wofully subjected.

Prov. 11.26. Matth. 26.44, 45, 46.

The righteousnesse of the upright shall deliver them, but transgres∣sors shall be taken in their own wickednesse.

Then shall they also answer him, saying, when saw we thee an hungry, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick or in prison, and did not minister unto thee?

Then shall he answer them, and say, verily I say unto you, in as much as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me.

And these shall go into everlasting paine, and the righteous unto life etenrall.

Printed in the Yeere 1648.
