A41067	A touch-stone, or, A perfect tryal by the Scriptures, of all the priests, bishops, and ministers, who have called themselves, the ministers of the Gospel whose time and day hath been in the last ages past, or rather in the night of apostacy : they are tried and weighed by the Scriptures of truth, and are found out of the life and power of the scriptures, and out of the spirit and doctrine of them that gave them forth, and quite contrary to their principle and practice, both Papists and Protestants : unto which is annexed, Womens speaking justified, &c.

teach_v and_o many_o of_o his_o disciple_n when_o they_o hear_v this_o say_v it_o be_v a_o hard_a say_n who_o can_v hear_v it_o but_o christ_n say_v unto_o they_o it_o be_v the_o spirit_n that_o

this_o spiritual_a bread_n be_v that_o which_o the_o apostle_n break_v and_o they_o that_o continue_v steadfast_o in_o the_o apostle_n doctrine_n and_o fellowship_n in_o break_v of_o bread_n and_o in_o prayer_n it_o be_v say_v they_o continue_v daily_o with_o one_o accord_n in_o the_o temple_n and_o break_v bread_n from_o house_n to_o house_n act_v 2._o and_o this_o bread_n be_v that_o live_a

they_o until_o midnight_n sure_o this_o be_v live_v bread_n else_o it_o can_v not_o have_v be_v the_o communion_n of_o the_o body_n of_o christ_n 1_o cor._n 10._o and_o this_o be_v a_o mystery_n which_o swearer_n and_o drunkard_n know_v not_o and_o therefore_o they_o set_v up_o that_o which_o be_v outward_a and_o temporal_a as_o the_o apostle_n say_v because_o they_o be_v blind_a of_o the_o spiritual_a eye_n and_o so_o as_o the_o apostle_n say_v that_o which_o can_v be_v see_v be_v temporal_a but_o that_o which_o can_v be_v see_v be_v eternal_a 1_o cor._n 14._o 18._o but_o this_o be_v hide_v from_o their_o eye_n and_o thus_o much_o for_o this_o particular_a which_o they_o call_v the_o sacrament_n of_o the_o lord_n supper_n they_o have_v also_o several_a other_o vain_a practice_n which_o they_o have_v no_o example_n in_o scripture_n for_o as_o pray_v over_o the_o dead_a and_o for_o the_o dead_a which_o the_o apostle_n exhort_v from_o when_o he_o write_v to_o the_o

for_o if_o we_o believe_v that_o jesus_n die_v and_o rise_v again_o so_o they_o also_o that_o sleep_n in_o jesus_n will_v god_n bring_v with_o he_o 1_o thes_n 4._o here_o be_v nothing_o of_o pray_v for_o they_o nor_o over_o they_o after_o they_o be_v dead_a but_o they_o manifest_a by_o their_o prayer_n that_o they_o have_v not_o a_o true_a hope_n nor_o belief_n in_o christ_n jesus_n who_o be_v rise_v from_o the_o dead_a and_o become_v the_o first-fruit_n of_o they_o that_o sleep_n 1_o cor._n 15._o the_o like_a may_v be_v say_v also_o of_o their_o church_a woman_n and_o marry_v people_n with_o ring_n but_o it_o appear_v that_o the_o main_a end_n of_o these_o practice_n be_v to_o get_v money_n of_o people_n for_o they_o have_v no_o example_n in_o the_o scripture_n that_o the_o people_n be_v marry_v with_o a_o priest_n neither_o in_o the_o old-testament_n nor_o new_a you_o do_v not_o read_v that_o abraham_n and_o sarah_n be_v marry_v with_o a_o priest_n and_o isaac_n take_v rebecca_n to_o wife_n and_o laban_n give_v jacob_n leah_n and_o rachel_n but_o not_o by_o a_o priest_n the_o apostle_n say_v marriage_n be_v honourable_a and_o the_o bed_n undefiled_a but_o he_o do_v not_o say_v that_o they_o shall_v be_v marry_v by_o a_o priest_n or_o with_o a_o ring_n but_o it_o be_v manifest_v that_o this_o generation_n of_o priest_n that_o have_v set_v up_o such_o imagination_n and_o invention_n as_o these_o be_v the_o same_o that_o the_o apostle_n prophesy_v of_o unto_o his_o son_n timothy_n that_o good_a and_o true_a bishop_n where_o he_o say_v now_o the_o spirit_n speak_v express_o that_o in_o the_o latter_a time_n some_o shall_v depart_v from_o the_o faith_n give_v heed_n to_o seduce_a spirit_n and_o doctrine_n of_o devil_n speak_v lie_n in_o

read_v this_o chapter_n and_o consider_v whether_o these_o be_v not_o they_o both_o papist_n and_o protestant_n who_o marry_v people_n as_o before_z mention_v and_o yet_o forbid_v to_o marry_v all_o that_o will_v not_o marry_v according_a to_o their_o way_n and_o will_v though_o the_o apostle_n say_v they_o may_v marry_v who_o they_o will_v only_o in_o the_o lord_n 1_o cor._n 7._o 39_o yet_o if_o they_o be_v not_o marry_v with_o a_o priest_n and_o according_a to_o their_o way_n they_o account_v it_o no_o marriage_n and_o thus_o they_o run_v themselves_o quite_o off_o from_o the_o scripture_n as_o bad_a as_o they_o that_o never_o hear_v of_o they_o for_o though_o they_o profess_v they_o in_o word_n they_o be_v utter_o and_o quite_o out_o of_o they_o in_o their_o practice_n and_o that_o they_o abstain_v from_o meat_n and_o cause_n people_n so_o to_o do_v this_o be_v well_o know_v to_o be_v their_o common_a practice_n all_o which_o the_o apostle_n say_v be_v the_o doctrine_n of_o devil_n and_o so_o here_o i_o have_v find_v they_o in_o their_o practice_n and_o i_o will_v leave_v they_o these_o with_o many_o more_o frivolous_a thing_n which_o may_v be_v mention_v as_o their_o keep_n of_o idle_a day_n and_o cause_v people_n to_o do_v so_o but_o what_o have_v be_v say_v before_o may_v give_v people_n a_o sight_n of_o their_o practice_n that_o they_o be_v quite_o contrary_a and_o opposite_a to_o the_o rule_n of_o the_o scripture_n and_o thus_o much_o for_o the_o five_o head_n which_o be_v their_o practice_n the_o six_o be_v their_o maintenance_n and_o this_o be_v as_o contrary_a to_o the_o scripture_n of_o truth_n as_o any_o of_o the_o rest_n they_o profess_v themselves_o to_o be_v christian_n and_o gospel-minister_n and_o yet_o will_v not_o be_v content_a with_o gospel-maintenance_n but_o their_o gospel_n be_v dead_a and_o so_o cold_a that_o they_o preach_v to_o people_n that_o it_o will_v not_o quicken_v they_o out_o of_o their_o dead_a and_o natural_a estate_n and_o therefore_o they_o dare_v not_o trust_v themselves_o upon_o their_o maintenance_n nor_o cast_v themselves_o upon_o the_o freedom_n or_o liberality_n of_o the_o people_n and_o so_o when_o the_o power_n and_o spirit_n of_o the_o lord_n jesus_n be_v lose_v and_o the_o revelation_n of_o jesus_n by_o which_o the_o apostle_n preach_v then_o when_o the_o apostasy_n come_v in_o those_o that_o get_v up_o into_o the_o pope_n chair_n take_v upon_o they_o to_o find_v out_o a_o way_n whereby_o they_o may_v compel_v people_n to_o maintain_v they_o however_o they_o maintain_v themselves_o and_o so_o they_o start_v back_o from_o christ_n rule_n and_o his_o apostle_n and_o step_v into_o the_o imitation_n of_o some_o part_n of_o the_o levitical_a priesthood_n under_o the_o law_n which_o best_o suit_v their_o own_o end_n and_o that_o be_v make_v ready_a to_o their_o hand_n they_o soon_o go●_n it_o set_v up_o and_o establish_v by_o a_o law_n and_o then_o those_o that_o be_v christian_n

that_o be_v at_o rome_n also_o for_o i_o be_o not_o ashamed_a of_o the_o gospel_n of_o christ_n for_o it_o be_v the_o power_n of_o god_n unto_o salvation_n to_o every_o one_o that_o believe_v to_o
