And When I sent you without purse and scrip and shooes lacked ye any thing And they said Nothing Luke 22. 35 And his Apostle saith For though I preach the Gospel I have nothing to glory of for necessity is laid on me yea wo is unto me if I preach not the Gospel For if I do this thing willingly I have my reward but if against my will a Dispensation of the Gospel is committed to me what is my reward then Verily that when I preach the Gospel that I may make the Gospel of Christ without charge that I abuse not my power in the Gospel for though I be free from all men yet have I made my self servant unto all that I might gain the more 1 Cor. 9. 16 17 18 19. Fourthly look and see whether they had any Courts or Synagogues or places of Judicature or sate as Judges over Mens Persons or Estates or had their Officers to summon or bring before them to censure and to punish them And whether they had or sought for or used or taught of such a Power or any thing like it to that or succeeding ages that might then or hereafter or at any time be used by the Apostles and the Disciples of Jesus Seeing that he saith Man who made me a Judge or a Divider over you to him that said Master speak to my Brother that he divide the Inheritance with me Who was one of the company that followed him Luke 12. 13 14.
