what_o their_o own_o religion_n be_v which_o they_o will_v have_v we_o to_o receive_v we_o know_v not_o but_o the_o fag-end_n of_o it_o that_o be_v yet_o out_o of_o sight_n may_v be_v so_o

of_o by_o their_o language_n these_o be_v not_o of_o heaven_n nor_o fellow-citizen_n with_o the_o saint_n that_o so_o reproach_n and_o rail_v at_o saint_n and_o it_o be_v the_o more_o impious_a in_o that_o they_o entitle_v god_n to_o it_o and_o think_v they_o do_v he_o service_n by_o revile_v his_o servant_n yea_o and_o abuse_v the_o phrase_n of_o scripture_n to_o it_o as_o if_o they_o may_v call_v such_o by_o any_o name_n which_o god_n have_v call_v the_o worst_a of_o man_n by_o even_o dog_n wolf_n greedy_a dog_n and_o hireling_n child_n of_o the_o devil_n and_o enemy_n of_o all_o righteousness_n hypocrite_n devil_n with_o abundance_n such_o 2._o they_o break_v the_o five_o commandment_n by_o open_a dishonour_n of_o magistrate_n and_o minister_n and_o impenitent_o justify_v themselves_o in_o all_o they_o will_v not_o only_o deny_v civil_a honour_n to_o the_o magistrate_n but_o revile_v he_o if_o he_o displease_v they_o their_o language_n be_v like_o the_o rebellious_a follower_n of_o corah_n numb._n 16._o 3._o you_o take_v too_o much_o upon_o you_o wherefore_o list_v you_o up_o yourselves_o above_o the_o congregation_n of_o the_o lord_n 3._o many_o of_o they_o live_v idle_o and_o disorderly_o go_v up_o and_o down_o the_o country_n and_o live_v on_o the_o bread_n of_o other_o and_o not_o work_v with_o their_o hand_n contrary_a to_o 2_o thes._n 3._o 6_o 11._o reason_n 5._o the_o worst_a of_o all_o be_v that_o they_o behave_v themselves_o like_o malignant_a enemy_n to_o the_o very_a cause_n and_o church_n and_o gospel_n and_o servant_n of_o jesus_n christ_n and_o if_o they_o be_v of_o the_o serpentine_a brood_n they_o can_v be_v the_o only_a servant_n of_o christ_n sure_a most_o of_o they_o that_o i_o have_v see_v have_v a_o alter_a countenance_n look_v upon_o every_o man_n that_o they_o suspect_v to_o be_v a_o minister_n or_o a_o friend_n to_o the_o ministry_n with_o such_o detestation_n and_o hatred_n as_o if_o malice_n itself_o have_v choose_v their_o face_n to_o demonstrate_v its_o complexion_n in_o their_o very_a design_n religion_n and_o work_n be_v to_o make_v the_o people_n hate_v the_o minister_n and_o revile_v they_o as_o they_o do_v as_o if_o this_o be_v a_o mark_n of_o a_o convert_a man_n and_o beside_o this_o ministry_n as_o much_o as_o they_o revile_v they_o who_o have_v we_o to_o carry_v on_o the_o work_n of_o the_o gospel_n a_o mean_a wit_n may_v easy_o see_v what_o will_v come_v of_o the_o gospel_n and_o of_o the_o church_n and_o the_o soul_n of_o man_n if_o the_o ministry_n be_v hate_v reject_v or_o cast_v out_o do_v it_o go_v well_o with_o any_o nation_n on_o earth_n without_o they_o name_v i_o the_o place_n will_v the_o gospel_n be_v propagate_v without_o preacher_n or_o have_v you_o better_a enough_o if_o all_o these_o be_v down_o where_o be_v they_o that_o we_o may_v see_v and_o know_v they_o he_o that_o will_v destroy_v the_o commander_n and_o magistrate_n be_v like_a to_o be_v a_o enemy_n to_o the_o army_n and_o the_o commonwealth_n they_o take_v the_o same_o course_n against_o the_o church_n and_o cause_n of_o god_n as_o the_o malicious_a enemy_n in_o all_o age_n have_v do_v even_o to_o oppose_v the_o best_a and_o painfull_a minister_n such_o as_o the_o heathen_n torment_v and_o the_o papist_n burn_v and_o other_o silence_v these_o man_n choose_v out_o to_o vilify_v and_o oppose_v mark_v when_o they_o come_v to_o any_o town_n whether_o they_o do_v not_o ten_o time_n more_o oppose_v the_o minister_n that_o spend_v themselves_o in_o private_a and_o public_a labour_n against_o sin_n than_o they_o do_v the_o most_o ignorant_a or_o vicious_a man_n can_v we_o see_v who_o servant_n they_o be_v when_o we_o see_v who_o they_o fight_v against_o even_o the_o choice_a servant_n of_o christ_n it_o be_v a_o wonderful_a thing_n that_o even_o malignant_a enemy_n shall_v be_v think_v to_o be_v christ_n only_a servant_n by_o any_o that_o know_v what_o it_o be_v to_o serve_v he_o or_o
