The first-fruits of new prelats, amounting to as much as the tythes of old bishops. All summed up in an impartial relation of the partial proceedings, and uprighteous rumors raised against Henry Pinnel, concerning his endeavouring to get a parsonage. Occasioning a sudden glance upon the true resurrection, present perfection, and perfect obedience. Written in a letter to a friend.	Pinnell, Henry.	1654 (1654)	Wing P2278A; ESTC R221490	41,685	60

Postscript SIR I Could gladly make a retractation of what I have written not that I am conscious of overlashing with my pen or overcharging any person but because the occasion hath put me into an habit too Martial and made me appear more Polemical then I desire Jer. 15.10 Wo is me that my mother hath born me a man of strife and of contention I was content to lie like the flint with my fire within my self but the steely tongues of men tipt with unrighteous censures and hard speeches against me have knock't and forc'd the fire abroad If any sparke catch and kindle to a flame to enlighten some and burn others let those bless God and these thank themselves My purpose hath been for many moneths and some yeers past to have undertaken a task of another nature and as much useful but my unsetled condition hath let in so many interruptions and avocations upon me that I am discouraged to begin it I pity wy generation and would fain be serviceable to it I have now lived so many yeers as to learn to measure my life by dayes that little if there be yet any of my time to come bids me not be idle and that little leasure I have in my short and maintain time tells me I cannot do much The people in four places though I am neither Parson Vicar nor Curate have some expectation of me but my bodily infirmities get so much ground of me that I think sometimes I shall have enough to do to look to my self Whatsoever clamors hereafter arise I mean not to quell with my pen but practice I bless God I have a conscience and conversation inreadiness to answer all gain-sayers I resolve by Gods help to clime and creep further into the inward hidden and secret world the glimpse I have of it sets me all on fire Let me not go alone afford me your company and perswade as many as you can to go along with us Faustum iter foelix det bonus ille Deus The God of Truth guide us and then ●e shall no● err even so Amen FINIS
