The secret workes of a cruel people made manifest; : whose little finger is become heavier than their persecutors the bishops loyns, who have set up an image amongst them in New-England, which all that will not bow down unto, and worship, must undergo all such sufferings as can be invented and infiicted [sic] by the hearts and hands of such men whose tender mercies are cruel. Which may be seen in this short relation of their cruelty, which was presented to the Parliament, and now recommended to the consideration of all sober people, that they may see how these professors of New-England have lost their former tenderness, who fled from persecution, and now are become the chiefest of persecutors.

Jesus Christ, the same to day, as yesterday, in life and power, in afflictions and sufferings: : and the seed of the serpent the same now, as ever, in darkness and emnity; in rage and persecution. Being for removal of the stumbling block out of the way of the simple, concerning the testimony now given against the priests, and their worships, (viz.) Cannot you let them alone, why do ye disturb them, and their assemblies? go unto their houses, or to some private place, and speak to them there; cannot you give the same liberty to others, which you would have yourselves? Wherein is manifested, that what estimation, and enterrainment [sic] the witness of Jesus receiveth at this day from the men of the world, is the same, as it hath alwayes been from the beginning. Given forth for the sake of the honest-hearted, and in witness of the truth, as it is in Jesus, every where spoken against, scorned, and persecuted, under the reproachful name of quaking. George Bishop
