A74947	Rayling rebuked: or, A defence of the ministers of this nation: by way of answer to the unparrallel'd calumnies cast upon them in an epistle lately published by Thomas Speed merchant of Bristol, unhappily become the Quakers advocate. Wherein, some Scriptures are opened, and diverse things objected by the Quakers, examined and answered. With an hortatory epistle prefixed to fasten Christians to Jesus Christ in these un-glewing times, wherein so many play fast and loose with him. By William Thomas minister of the Gospel at Ubley.	Thomas, William, 1593-1667.	1656 (1656)	Thomason E883_5; ESTC R207300	68,071	90

much_o please_v the_o framer_n it_o 2._o come_v in_o regard_n of_o the_o two_o former_a passage_n in_o it_o to_o this_o sense_n if_o it_o be_v sense_n you_o must_v not_o call_v upon_o the_o magistrate_n to_o punish_v those_o that_o deserve_v it_o because_o sometime_o the_o magistrate_n be_v call_v upon_o to_o punish_v those_o that_o deserve_v it_o not_o a_o man_n must_v not_o call_v upon_o moses_n to_o put_v a_o blasphemer_n to_o death_n 15._o because_o the_o elder_n and_o noble_n of_o naboth_n city_n be_v sometime_o call_v upon_o to_o put_v naboth_n to_o death_n upon_o a_o unjust_a accusation_n of_o blasphemy_n 10._o be_v not_o this_o a_o good_a argument_n you_o ought_v not_o to_o call_v upon_o the_o magistrate_n to_o to_o trouble_v a_o true_a man_n therefore_o you_o may_v not_o prosecute_v the_o law_n to_o hang_v a_o thief_n and_o a_o murderer_n 3._o it_o be_v true_a that_o the_o parliament_n be_v call_v upon_o by_o presbyter_n for_o the_o settle_n of_o a_o government_n according_a to_o the_o 3._o word_n of_o god_n and_o the_o example_n of_o the_o best_a reform_a church_n wherein_o they_o hold_v and_o hold_v forth_o a_o brotherly_a compliance_n with_o

but_o the_o yoke_n of_o christ_n and_o be_v not_o as_o some_o have_v be_v former_o friend_n to_o soule-annoying_a restraint_n but_o only_a enemy_n to_o soule-destroying_a liberty_n 4._o it_o may_v be_v something_o wonder_v at_o that_o he_o shall_v acknowledge_v 4._o that_o teacher_n of_o all_o sect_n and_o faction_n cry_v out_o for_o help_v against_o his_o sect_n do_v not_o this_o show_v they_o to_o be_v like_o ishmael_n not_o only_o because_o of_o their_o persecution_n of_o other_o with_o bitter_a word_n 29._o but_o also_o of_o other_o this_o affection_n to_o they_o their_o hand_n be_v

be_v in_o so_o much_o more_o danger_n than_o minister_n because_o such_o man_n be_v more_o hinder_v in_o their_o purpose_n by_o their_o great_a ter_z power_n and_o may_v gain_v more_o if_o they_o

shall_v take_v it_o for_o grant_v that_o the_o first_o scripture_n to_o wit_n john_n 1._o 9_o speak_v of_o christ_n enlighten_v the_o world_n as_o god_n before_o his_o come_n in_o the_o flesh_n or_o at_o least_o as_o well_o before_o his_o come_n as_o after_o which_o will_v i_o suppose_v appear_v clear_o two_o way_n 1._o because_o the_o purpose_n of_o the_o evangelist_n in_o the_o former_a part_n of_o that_o chapter_n be_v to_o set_v forth_o christ_n divinity_n which_o he_o do_v both_o by_o reason_n and_o the_o testimony_n of_o john_n baptist_n 2._o because_o it_o be_v not_o say_v that_o be_v the_o true_a light_n but_o that_o be_v if_o any_o say_v that_o enlighten_v etc._n work_n be_v still_o carry_v on_o i_o shall_v not_o deny_v it_o but_o that_o will_v amount_v to_o no_o more_o but_o this_o that_o the_o thing_n intend_v there_o be_v to_o advance_v christ_n in_o the_o eminent_a work_n of_o enlighten_v the_o world_n in_o the_o generality_n and_o to_o show_v that_o christ_n be_v the_o fountain_n of_o light_n to_o all_o generation_n &_o succession_n of_o man_n now_o i_o conceive_v that_o it_o may_v with_o good_a reason_n be_v make_v out_o that_o the_o light_v intend_v there_o be_v most_o proper_o with_o the_o light_n of_o nature_n and_o that_o 1._o because_o o●_n the_o latitude_n of_o the_o subject_n enlighten_v to_o wit_n every_o man_n that_o come_v into_o the_o world_n
