off But we as the holy men did gladly suffer all wrongs and our selves to be defrauded freely giving up our outward man and substance without resisting to death to the merciless persecutor but the mercen●ry hireling who is the only cause of our persecution is so far from being found in these the holy men and Ministers of Christs practices that they wrong all men and all men are defrauded by them most cruelly exacting where they never lent pulling where they never planted cloathing with the fleece they never wrought for feeding with the fat and sweet they never sweat for in short by force they exact and reap all manner of carnals where they have not sown spirituals nor carnals And them who are called teachers have and do exceedingly Erre and greater injustice and crueller rapeness were never commited by men then there hath been by this Legion of evil doers but for their labours if they repent not they shall be called the least in the Kingdom * Isaiah said they were all blind and ignorant and dumb dogs that never had enough and Jeyemiah said that the Prophets prophesied falsly and the Priests did bear rule by their means and Ezekiel said they fed themselves and not the flock Micha said they Preached for hire and Divined for money and Hosea said they were as a Troop of robbers that did waite for a man so the company of Priests did murther in the way by consent Reader I pray thee read Isai 56. 10. 11. Jer. 5. Ezek. 34. Mich. 2. 11. Hosea 6. 9. and compare the English Priest and see if there be any more difference then there is betwixt a Monk and a Monk and a Pope and a Pope And the Rulers that suffer these things are become blind and in a deep sleep yea a very deep sleep even the sleep of death but let all such know that their Rewarder slumbereth not neither can his vengeance tarry long and the despised light within if they repent not shall be their sure condemation for the righteous Spirit of the holy One is grieved and it shall not alwayes strive and wo be to them who set him at nought and persecute whips terrifies or suffers them to be persecuted whiped or terrified who speak in his Name thrusting causing or suffering to be thrust into dungeons Bridewells and bad places amongst bad people there to be kept in bonds under the hands of cruel men till death for the testimony of Jesus Oh! bloody and great yea very great cruelty was ever the like done by any who did but so much as profess liberty of conscience But let all such know from the highest to the lowest yea to him that sits upon the Throne to him that grinds at the Mill they do resist the mighty Prophet whom the Lord our God hath raised up and he is come and they shall be cut off and mine eye sees it and then the condition of poor Lazarus who is hardly thought worthy to live will far transcend Dives and all his fellow Gluttons and these that are at ease in the fl●sh and are not troubled like other men and lie roleing upon their b●ds of pleasure spending that which was their day in madness mirth and folly and making merry over the humble witness o● God saying to themselves tush no eye sees us but let all such know they are seen and he that beholds them is not afar off and a day cometh shortly if not suddenly when the very highest among them shall be disrobed and utterly made bare and the greatest that is born among women shall not hide himself from the vengeance of my God who is the avenger and revenger of the righteous and vengeance is mine saith the Lord and I will repay it * Blessed are they that mourn for they shall be comforted Blessed are the poor in spirit for theirs is the Kingdom of heaven Blessed are they who hunger and thirst after righteousness Blessed are the pure in heart for they shall see God Blessed are the merciful for they shall obtain mercy Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness sake for theirs is the Kingdom of heaven Blessed are ye when men shall revile ye and persecute yee and shall say all manner of evil against ye falsly rejoyce and be exceeding glad for great is your reward in heaven And the Devil shall cast some of ye into prison and ye shall have tribulation for ten dayes How long Lord how long holy just and true By an owner of the sword in its place true Majestracy true Ministry Justice and sound Judgement Oh! let it flow down like a mighty torrent but an enemy to Tyranny Truce-breakers Rapines Swearers Lyers and false prophets who preach for hire and Divine for money E. B. THE END A few VVORDS To that bad Generation of people who in their reprobate minds blaspheme and belye the dreadful and Just God In saying That he hath made and created some men to be damned or that a set number are ordained from all Eternity to be saved and a set number to be damned BUT let all such know that the lyar is for the lake for the Just God who is equal in all his wayes hath not made any man to be damned nor created any to that intent and the destruction of every man is of himself for God made man after his own image and likeness and those that are godly are like God but man hath sought out many inventions and the heart of man is deceitful and desperately wicked and that continually but God is now and alwayes upright in all his wa●es and his Name is Love and his Nature is Love and he is a God of Love and all the works of his hands are good and he loves them and he is a loving Father and he who sayes the Father decrees a Soul to Hell from all Eternity before the creature hath transgressed or that he was created to do wickedly he accuses the Just God falsly but the same Soul that sins as Adam did shall dye for transgression brings death and then and not till then he becomes a vessel of dishonour But he was not intended so by the Holy God in his Creation ‖ And if from all Eternity a certain and set number be created predestinated and fore-ordained to be saved and damned for what doth the Hireling preach and for what hath he his hire I am sure the decrees of God are yea Amen and unalterable Mark that Judicious Reader and do not be so ignorant as to give thy money to that Priest who holds or preaches that doctrine for under one of the two decrees thou already art And I do believe there is hardly a Hireling in England that will deny it as his belief but that there is and was from all Eternity a certain and a set number predestinated to be damned and saved Oh! how hath and doth this deceiver stand and is upholden and maintained in idleness to make Merchandizes of pretious
