A82020	A publick discovery of a secret deceit. Or, the man of sin unmasked, his sheeps-clothing of glorious pretences pulled off; and his wolvish inside set forth in its colours. Where may easily be discerned Satan transformed into the resemblance of an angel of light, in that sect or society commonly called Quakers. Being nineteen quæries, directed to their speakers at the Bull and Mouth neer Aldersgate: and answered by that grand fomenter of heresie, James Nayler. With a reply thereunto, and fourteen queries more returned by him unto me, fully answered: and twenty four more proposed. / By me John Deacon.

great_a live_n tithe_n and_o set_v maintenance_n and_o by_o who_o and_o in_o what_o must_v it_o now_o differ_v from_o these_o a_o answer_n to_o the_o nine_o quere_z the_o true_a ministry_n of_o christ_n be_v the_o same_o now_o for_o matter_n mean_n and_o maintenance_n that_o it_o be_v in_o the_o apostle_n day_n though_o you_o will_v change_v it_o unto_o that_o which_o be_v no_o ministry_n of_o divinity_n but_o rather_o a_o mystery_n of_o iniquity_n i_o have_v partly_o prove_v in_o my_o answer_n to_o your_o seven_o query_n as_o to_o matter_n and_o mean_n i_o come_v now_o unto_o what_o remain_v concern_v maintenance_n for_o there_o i_o show_v how_o paul_n the_o wise_a master_n builder_n who_o yet_o be_v servant_n unto_o all_o be_v to_o and_o do_v ordain_v and_o choose_v by_o the_o putation_n other_o workman_n in_o the_o same_o employment_n with_o he_o as_o fellow-labourer_n in_o the_o vineyard_n of_o the_o lord_n church_n and_o so_o it_o be_v the_o same_o now_o and_o concern_v maintenance_n 10_o 1_o cor._n 9.6_o 7_o 8.9_o 10_o 11_o 12_o 13_o 14._o 1_o tim._n 5.8_o 1_o cor._n 11.8_o luke_n 9.3_o mat._n 10.10_o luk._n 9_o 10_o the_o same_o apostle_n have_v prove_v the_o necessary_a conveniency_n of_o a_o maintenance_n for_o gospel-minister_n by_o many_o unquestionable_a argument_n he_o come_v at_o last_o to_o this_o assertion_n even_o so_o have_v the_o lord_n ordain_v that_o they_o which_o preach_v the_o gospel_n shall_v live_v of_o the_o gospel_n and_o certain_o he_o so_o ought_v to_o live_v as_o that_o he_o may_v not_o become_v worse_o than_o a_o infidel_n but_o provide_v for_o his_o own_o family_n and_o the_o rehearse_a of_o that_o ordinance_n be_v also_o a_o practitioner_n in_o the_o use_n of_o maintenance_n for_o this_o he_o testify_v of_o

he_o call_v it_o of_o one_o church_n to_o do_v another_o service_n then_o sure_o be_v it_o much_o more_o tolerable_a for_o a_o minister_n to_o take_v wage_n of_o a_o church_n to_o serve_v the_o same_o and_o though_o the_o apostle_n in_o the_o time_n of_o our_o saviour_n presence_n with_o they_o take_v neither_o purse_n nor_o scrip_n with_o they_o because_o their_o employment_n require_v haste_n yet_o this_o be_v annex_v the_o labourer_n be_v worthy_a of_o his_o hire_n and_o to_o take_v two_o coat_n may_v have_v be_v cumbersome_a and_o therefore_o they_o go_v light_a but_o as_o you_o read_v of_o their_o go_v forth_o so_o do_v you_o of_o their_o come_n in_o too_o in_o the_o same_o chapter_n and_o our_o saviour_n who_o first_o institute_v also_o disannul_v this_o command_n and_o bid_v he_o that_o have_v use_n and_o he_o that_o have_v not_o buy_v 22.36_o luk._n 22.36_o and_o they_o be_v then_o to_o travel_v from_o one_o region_n to_o another_o be_v to_o plant_v not_o keep_v in_o order_n the_o vineyard_n and_o therefore_o i_o can_v not_o be_v settle_v in_o any_o constant_a employment_n and_o therefore_o enjoy_v no_o stand_a maintenance_n that_o i_o have_v read_v of_o except_o paul_n as_o before_o name_v for_o wage_n must_v be_v some_o certain_a allowance_n and_o in_o that_o the_o scripture_n allow_v and_o ordain_v a_o maintenance_n and_o pet_n prescribe_v not_o the_o sum_n it_o be_v evident_o clear_a that_o it_o be_v leave_v to_o humane_a providence_n to_o order_v that_o and_o so_o paul_n seem_v to_o admonish_v when_o he_o say_v let_v all_o thing_n be_v do_v with_o decency_n and_o in_o all_o thing_n i_o suppose_v this_o be_v include_v and_o since_o you_o have_v nothing_o else_o to_o upbraid_v our_o ministry_n withal_o 14.26_o 1_o cor._n 14.26_o you_o rail_v against_o
