Watchmen the dumb Dogs the greedy Dogs Isa 56. the Idol Shepherds Zech. 11.17 and we should consider that all the severest rebukes given by the Prophets to the wretchedly sensual ignorant proud covetous and careless Priests in the Old Testament which are very many and all the sharpest reproofs of the Scribes and Pharisees and Jewish Priests that were delivered by Christ himself and recorded in the New are constantly thrown upon and applyed unto us by some or other of our Dissenters as though we had been the very Persons they were at first levell'd against But every Eye that is not bloudshed with Envy and Malice or some other like distemper must needs see the gross injustice of such dealing as this Howbeit we should know and well weigh these things and also who they be that represent us as Carnal Gospellers formal Guides unedifying Teachers Hirelings c. not that we might retaliate these injuries upon any of our Adversaries but that we might behave our selves so unblameablely in all respects that we may not give the least cause for such kind of Censures and that with St. Paul we may cut off occasion from all those that seek and desire occasion against us and indeed that according to St. Peter's advice they may be made ashamed who falsly accuse our good Conversation in Christ 1 Pet. 3.16 We should not aim to vye with great ones in outward Pomp or secular Glory but our Honour and Ambition should be to excel in those Graces which truly adorn a Christian of the highest rank and that may bring the most immediate glory to God and benefit to his Church and in a word for I must not run out into any more particulars we should study to approve our-selves unto God and according to the Pattern of our Great Master to do the will of him that sent us to let our Conversation be in all points as becometh the Gospel of Christ and the faithful Ministers of it and not to seek our own but the things of Jesus Christ in the first place and then all men would quickly see that we were the Ministers of Christ indeed the Watchmen of God and the Remembrancers of the Lord of Host set upon the Walls of Jerusalem to cry day and night for the guiding of his People into the paths of truth and peace Isai 62.6 And if the Clergy would thus unanimously Zealously and Prudently seek to promote the honour of God and the things of Jesus Christ 't is not to be doubted but God would wonderfully bless them and all their endeavours of that kind and it might yet be hoped he might heal our breaches and make all our Enemies to be at peace with us that this Church as 't is the best in its frame and constitution so it it might become the happyest in all the World FINIS ERRATA PAge 2. of the Preface line 17. read in the truth In the Sermon p. 7. l. 26. r. advantageous p. 11. l. 12. r. surprizing accidents without a Comma p. 18. l. 28. r. function for fountain p. 22. l. 7 8. r. 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 and 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 also l. 32. for our r. the.
