A82314	The city-ministers unmasked, or The hypocrisie and iniquity of fifty nine of the most eminent of the clergy in and about the city of London. Cleerly discovered out of two of their own pamphlets, one intituled, A serious and faithful representation; the other A vindication of the Ministers of the Gospel, in and about the City of London. Together vvith a prophesie of John Hus, touching the choosing of a new ministry; and an ancient prophetical farewel of Hildegards, to the old corrupt ministry. Both very useful for the knowledg of the long deceived nations. / By a friend of the Armies, in its ways to justice and righteousnes.

all_o along_o throughout_o the_o period_n of_o popery_n and_o prelacy_n for_o the_o ecclesiastical_a state_n will_v think_v fit_a to_o take_v place_n of_o the_o civil_a and_o the_o civil_a will_v think_v much_o to_o have_v another_o outward_a kingdom_n and_o power_n above_o itself_o and_o so_o heartburning_n and_o contention_n and_o war_n arise_v as_o appear_v in_o all_o former_a history_n and_o so_o likewise_o for_o this_o new_a sect_n of_o presbytery_n which_o be_v the_o last_o round_o in_o the_o triple_a crown_n and_o so_o the_o least_o which_o be_v the_o comfort_n of_o it_o suppose_v the_o national_a assembly_n of_o the_o church_n a_o outward_a society_n shall_v excommunicate_v the_o parliament_n a_o outward_a society_n and_o the_o church_n power_n with_o their_o

will_v be_v willing_a to_o uphold_v their_o kingdom_n by_o force_n what_o work_n i_o pray_v will_v this_o soon_o be_v and_o if_o the_o clergy_n now_o before_o they_o be_v master_n of_o their_o much_o

desire_v the_o state_n will_v well_o consider_v it_o that_o it_o can_v be_v safe_a for_o it_o to_o have_v two_o external_a kingdom_n power_n and_o dominion_n in_o one_o nation_n or_o common_a wealth_n for_o it_o be_v never_o know_v yet_o but_o the_o ecclesiastical_a kingdom_n do_v exalt_v itself_o above_o the_o civil_a as_o oil_n above_o the_o water_n and_o so_o it_o have_v bridle_v and_o saddle_v and_o ride_v upon_o the_o nation_n for_o many_o hundred_o year_n together_o but_o now_o it_o be_v hope_v this_o kingdom_n will_v ca●●_z off_o its_o proud_a rider_n and_o suffer_v he_o to_o get_v up_o no_o more_o and_o thus_o now_o it_o be_v plain_a that_o presbytery_n be_v the_o most_o dangerous_a sect_n of_o any_o other_o to_o be_v tolerate_v in_o the_o state_n it_o not_o be_v s●fe_n for_o the_o

from_o a_o state_n must_v be_v state-power_n it_o can_v be_v church-power_n see_v nothing_o can_v give_v that_o which_o it_o have_v not_o itself_o first_o whereas_o they_o that_o hold_v christ_n kingdom_n to_o be_v spiritual_a and_o not_o of_o this_o world_n and_o that_o it_o be_v only_o to_o be_v manage_v by_o a_o spiritual_a power_n flow_v from_o he_o who_o kingdom_n it_o be_v these_o people_n can_v neither_o be_v dangerous_a nor_o in_o the_o least_o measure_n troublesome_a to_o any_o civil_a state_n in_o the_o world_n and_o thus_o now_o i_o proceed_v from_o the_o reproach_n they_o cast_v upon_o the_o army_n to_o the_o council_n they_o give_v they_o and_o their_o council_n branch_n itself_o into_o three_o particular_n 1._o that_o they_o be_v not_o too_o confident_a of_o former_a
