A Word to the jury in the behalf of JOHN Lilburn.  
SIRS.  
YOu are of the Neighbour, and Christ showeth 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 Pharaoh 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 trial of John Lilburn, or that illegal Sentence; which is much desired and eagerly pursued to be 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 14 h Chap. verse 45. And the People said unto Saul, shall●onathan die? no as the Lord liveth he shall not die; So the people rescued him; Likewise many of the People of England have said by their Petition▪ shall John Lilburn die? (and indeed all the People of England ought to say as the Lord liveth John Lilburn shall not die) for he hath not offended against any laws that hath been made by our forefathers 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 supreme 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 legal power qualified to make laws, 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 gave him a Sword, saying, If I do well, you see, they for me; If I do amiss, imply it against me; So if those that command you, do command you to defend any members of this commonwealth (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 arms against those that impose such illegal, cruel, and bloody commands upon you.
