Somewhat spoken to a weighty question, concerning the magistrates protection of the innocent, wherein is held forth the blessing and peace which nations ought to wait for and embrace in the later dayes. With some considerations for the serious and wise in heart throughout this nation to ponder, for diverting Gods wrath (if possible) from breaking forth upon it. Also a brief account of what the people called Quakers desire, in reference to the civil government. With a few words to such as by the everlasting arm of Gods power have been drawn and gathered out of the apostacy into the living truth and worship. By Isaac Penington the younger.
