he_o that_o plant_v a_o vineyard_n may_v eat_v of_o the_o fruit_n thereof_o and_o he_o that_o keep_v a_o flock_n may_v eat_v of_o the_o milk_n of_o the_o flock_n this_o paul_n say_v though_o he_o will_v not_o make_v use_n of_o his_o power_n herein_o but_o wrought_v with_o his_o hand_n that_o the_o gospel_n may_v not_o be_v chargeable_a but_o what_o vineyard_n have_v the_o teacher_n of_o england_n plant_v or_o what_o flock_n do_v they_o keep_v their_o vineyard_n prove_v not_o tender_a grape_n but_o wild_a sour_a grape_n wild_a vine_n and_o not_o vine_n to_o bring_v forth_o acceptable_a fruit_n and_o their_o flock_n prove_v not_o flock_n of_o sheep_n but_o wild_a rude_a people_n who_o be_v in_o the_o nature_n of_o wolf_n and_o lion_n and_o if_o the_o magistrate_n law_n be_v not_o their_o vineyard_n nor_o the_o flock_n will_v hardly_o yield_v they_o any_o maintenance_n the_o apostle_n plant_v first_o a_o vineyard_n and_o gather_v the_o sheep_n before_o they_o reap_v or_o eat_v any_o of_o the_o fruit_n but_o the_o teacher_n of_o england_n differ_v from_o they_o in_o this_o for_o they_o know_v what_o they_o must_v have_v before_o they_o plant_v or_o before_o they_o

not_o then_o use_v their_o power_n but_o keep_v the_o gospel_n of_o christ_n without_o charge_n so_o that_o this_o scripture_n will_v not_o prove_v the_o priest_n action_n lawful_a in_o preach_v for_o

whatsoever_o they_o can_v ob●ect_a will_v not_o justify_v they_o for_o their_o reap_v carnal_a thing_n and_o their_o hire_n and_o their_o eat_n of_o the_o milk_n of_o the_o flock_n be_v quite_o of_o another_o nature_n as_o be_v prove_v than_o the_o apostle_n practice_n be_v and_o be_v the_o people_n wise_a they_o will_v see_v and_o understand_v these_o thing_n and_o not_o be_v delude_v through_o

whereby_o they_o will_v defend_v themselves_o for_o what_o though_o paul_n take_v of_o other_o church_n to_o supply_v his_o necessity_n as_o sometime_o he_o do_v yet_o this_o will_v not_o prove_v the_o lawfulness_n of_o their_o hundred_o of_o pound_n by_o the_o year_n most_o of_o which_o they_o spend_v in_o pride_n and_o idleness_n so_o that_o still_o this_o judgement_n be_v true_a upon_o

of_o the_o scripture_n they_o disagree_v to_o the_o minister_n of_o christ_n and_o agree_v with_o the_o deceiver_n and_o in_o some_o particular_n exceed_v they_o for_o i_o believe_v all_o the_o

in_o relation_n to_o this_o ministry_n speak_v of_o i_o do_v not_o speak_v against_o good_a education_n and_o learning_n which_o be_v in_o its_o place_n a_o virtue_n as_o for_o traveller_n and_o many_o other_o neither_o do_v i_o account_v such_o money_n vain_o waste_v and_o spend_v but_o only_o as_o to_o the_o ministry_n of_o christ_n natural_a learning_n be_v not_o there_o admit_v to_o make_v minister_n or_o to_o enable_v they_o thereunto_o but_o that_o money_n which_o be_v thereupon_o spend_v be_v waste_v and_o consume_v and_o how_o much_o be_v spend_v in_o this_o way_n and_o for_o such_o a_o end_n only_o i_o leave_v wise_a man_n to_o judge_v which_o will_v make_v up_o a_o large_a sum_n in_o the_o whole_a consider_v all_o thing_n i_o say_v their_o yearly_a maintenance_n may_v amount_v to_o fifteen_o hundred_o thousand_o pound_n a_o year_n which_o be_v a_o thousand_o thousand_o and_o half_o a_o thousand_o thousand_o pound_n man_n of_o weak_a understanding_n can_v hardly_o reach_v to_o know_v how_o much_o it_o be_v and_o that_o make_v i_o thus_o plain_o expound_v it_o a_o description_n of_o the_o true_a minister_n of_o christ_n and_o its_o maintenance_n the_o day_n have_v appear_v that_o make_v all_o thing_n manifest_a and_o the_o light_n be_v arise_v that_o give_v to_o discern_v between_o tru●h_n and_o error_n between_o the_o true_a and_o every_o false_a way_n and_o between_o the_o worship_n of_o god_n which_o be_v spiritual_a and_o every_o false_a worship_n of_o the_o world_n which_o be_v idolatry_n and_o the_o true_a ministry_n of_o christ_n be_v know_v

and_o after_o this_o manner_n the_o people_n of_o this_o generation_n begin_v to_o reason_n among_o themselves_o say_v what_o will_v the_o people_n do_v if_o they_o have_v power_n what_o minister_n

of_o god_n and_o who_o be_v bear_v of_o the_o spirit_n and_o be_v lead_v and_o guide_v by_o it_o into_o all_o truth_n and_o be_v call_v by_o it_o to_o follow_v the_o lamb_n whithersoever_o he_o go_v

to_o minister_n and_o declare_v free_o what_o they_o have_v free_o receive_v of_o god_n by_o his_o spirit_n and_o who_o preach_v christ_n free_o as_o the_o only_a way_n and_o mean_n of_o life_n and_o
