his_o work_n and_o all_o thing_n above_o express_v they_o say_v that_o they_o do_v forsake_v they_o all_o which_o be_v a_o lie_n in_o the_o sight_n of_o god_n and_o his_o people_n and_o these_o

of_o the_o water_n and_o spirit_n of_o life_n and_o these_o people_n which_o do_v thus_o say_v and_o promise_n as_o aforesaid_a they_o be_v such_o as_o do_v not_o believe_v that_o perfection_n from_o

do_v you_o find_v or_o read_v in_o all_o the_o scripture_n that_o any_o of_o the_o minister_n of_o christ_n do_v marry_v any_o people_n or_o do_v say_v prayer_n over_o the_o dead_a or_o church_v any_o

where_o do_v you_o find_v or_o read_v in_o all_o the_o scripture_n that_o any_o of_o the_o true_a bishop_n and_o minister_n of_o christ_n that_o be_v ordain_v and_o appoint_v by_o he_o do_v assume_v

you_o find_v or_o read_v in_o all_o the_o scripture_n ●●at_a timothy_n and_o titus_n be_v call_v lord_n bishop_n which_o be_v true_a bishop_n and_o ordain_v of_o god_n and_o where_o have_v they_o any_o bishopric_n and_o many_o hundred_o of_o pound_n by_o the_o year_n as_o these_o bishop_n have_v now_o and_o be_v not_o these_o great_a name_n and_o title_n and_o these_o rich_a bishopric_n which_o they_o own_o and_o have_v get_v to_o themselves_o contrary_a to_o the_o mind_n and_o will_n of_o god_n and_o contrary_a to_o the_o practice_n of_o the_o true_a bishop_n which_o be_v ordain_v of_o the_o lord_n and_o contrary_a to_o the_o scripture_n be_v not_o a_o mean_n to_o beget_v they_o into_o pride_n and_o highmindedness_n and_o self-exaltation_n and_o not_o into_o humility_n and_o lowliness_n of_o heart_n so_o as_o to_o be_v gift_v and_o qualify_v as_o the_o true_a bishop_n be_v that_o be_v ordain_v of_o god_n and_o where_o do_v you_o find_v or_o read_v in_o all_o the_o scripture_n that_o ever_o any_o of_o the_o true_a prophet_n or_o minister_n of_o christ_n be_v call_v master_n as_o a_o name_n or_o title_n to_o set_v up_o self_n above_o the_o common_a sort_n of_o people_n and_o do_v not_o christ_n cry_v woe_n against_o all_o such_o that_o go_v in_o long_a robe_n and_o have_v the_o uppermost_a room_n at_o feast_n and_o love_v greeting_n in_o the_o market_n and_o the_o chief_a seat_n in_o the_o synagogue_n and_o be_v call_v of_o man_n rabbi_n which_o be_v master_n and_o christ_n say_v unto_o his_o minister_n be_v not_o you_o call_v master_n for_o one_o be_v your_o master_n even_o christ_n and_o you_o be_v brethren_n and_o be_v that_o be_v the_o great_a among_o you_o shall_v be_v your_o servant_n and_o the_o apostle_n paul_n who_o be_v a_o true_a minister_n of_o christ_n say_v that_o though_o i_o be_v free_a from_o all_o man_n yet_o i_o have_v make_v myself_o servant_n unto_o all_o that_o i_o may_v gain_v the_o more_o and_o so_o he_o be_v not_o call_v lord_n nor_o master_n as_o a_o flatter_a title_n among_o man_n which_o uphold_v pride_n and_o highmindedness_n as_o these_o bishop_n and_o clergyman_n be_v now_o and_o do_v ever_o the_o minister_n of_o christ_n demand_v ten_o shilling_n for_o a_o mortuary_n and_o take_v it_o as_o these_o clergyman_n do_v now_o and_o further_o where_o do_v you_o find_v or_o read_v in_o all_o the_o scripture_n that_o any_o of_o the_o minister_n of_o christ_n set_v people_n to_o sing_v david_n psalm_n which_o be_v put_v into_o rhyme_n and_o meter_n by_o hopkins_n and_o s●erhould_v and_o other_o and_o whether_o they_o that_o sing_v david_n psalm_n now_o and_o be_v not_o in_o his_o state_n and_o condition_n that_o he_o be_v in_o when_o he_o speak_v those_o word_n which_o be_v record_v in_o the_o book_n of_o psalm_n do_v not_o such_o sing_v lie_n in_o hypocrisy_n yea_o or_o nay_o for_o though_o those_o say_n be_v true_a in_o david_n because_o he_o be_v in_o that_o condition_n which_o he_o speak_v of_o at_o that_o time_n when_o he_o speak_v those_o word_n but_o those_o say_n be_v not_o true_a in_o they_o that_o know_v nothing_o of_o his_o condition_n for_o he_o be_v in_o several_a condition_n as_o may_v be_v see_v in_o the_o book_n of_o psalm_n and_o how_o can_v people_n sing_v so_o long_o as_o their_o soul_n be_v in_o captivity_n and_o they_o themselves_o in_o bondage_n to_o sin_n and_o so_o people_n must_v come_v to_o know_v salvation_n and_o redemption_n wrought_v by_o christ_n in_o they_o from_o their_o sin_n and_o iniquity_n before_o they_o can_v sing_v in_o truth_n and_o further_o where_o do_v you_o find_v or_o read_v that_o the_o minister_n of_o christ_n have_v a_o book_n of_o common-prayer_n or_o a_o mass-book_n provide_v for_o they_o for_o to_o read_v to_o people_n for_o money_n as_o these_o clergyman_n do_v now_o or_o where_o do_v you_o find_v in_o all_o the_o scripture_n that_o any_o of_o the_o minister_n of_o christ_n or_o any_o other_o people_n that_o be_v true_a believer_n and_o follower_n of_o christ_n do_v ever_o read_v and_o say_v their_o prayer_n in_o a_o book_n when_o the_o lord_n move_v they_o by_o his_o holy_a spirit_n to_o pray_v unto_o he_o but_o they_o wait_v upon_o the_o lord_n until_o they_o be_v endue_v with_o power_n from_o on_o high_a and_o then_o they_o preach_v and_o pray_v according_a as_o the_o lord_n by_o his_o spirit_n in_o they_o do_v help_v and_o assist_v they_o and_o give_v they_o utterance_n for_o to_o do_v and_o perform_v what_o the_o lord_n do_v require_v of_o they_o as_o appertain_v to_o the_o worship_n and_o service_n of_o god_n and_o now_o i_o shall_v propound_v one_o thing_n more_o which_o be_v of_o great_a concernment_n where_o do_v you_o find_v or_o read_v in_o all_o the_o scripture_n that_o ever_o any_o of_o the_o minister_n of_o christ_n or_o any_o true_a christian_n or_o saint_n who_o be_v true_a believer_n and_o follower_n of_o christ_n that_o any_o of_o they_o do_v compel_v or_o demand_v any_o money_n of_o any_o sort_n of_o people_n for_o mend_v and_o repair_v those_o house_n and_o place_n where_o the_o true_a minister_n and_o people_n of_o god_n meet_v for_o to_o worship_v he_o in_o and_o now_o i_o have_v something_o more_o to_o declare_v unto_o all_o that_o profess_v christianity_n and_o salvation_n by_o christ_n which_o do_v say_v and_o believe_v that_o they_o be_v already_o save_v and_o redeem_a and_o justify_v by_o christ_n and_o his_o righteousness_n without_o they_o although_o they_o be_v of_o that_o faith_n and_o persuasion_n that_o they_o must_v live_v in_o sin_n as_o long_o as_o they_o live_v upon_o the_o earth_n and_o that_o none_o can_v be_v set_v free_a from_o sin_n in_o this_o life_n etc._n etc._n to_o which_o i_o answer_v that_o all_o that_o be_v of_o that_o faith_n and_o persuasion_n be_v deceive_v by_o the_o deceiver_n and_o that_o faith_n and_o persuasion_n be_v never_o beget_v by_o the_o lord_n but_o by_o the_o evil_a one_o who_o be_v the_o author_n of_o all_o sin_n and_o evil_n for_o i_o do_v affirm_v that_o all_o people_n that_o know_v christ_n spiritual_o and_o experimental_o to_o be_v their_o saviour_n and_o redeemer_n and_o that_o he_o have_v already_o save_v and_o redeem_v and_o justify_v they_o then_o no_o such_o person_n nor_o 〈◊〉_d will_v any_o more_o plead_v for_o sin_n nor_o a_o continuance_n in_o
