A76406	A true tryall of the ministers and ministry of England; as also a true discovery of their root and foundation, and of the called English Church, with its honours, possessions, tythes, and maintenance. Together with the fruits of the said ministers and ministry. Published for the sake of the simple ones, that they may no longer be deceived; but may come to witnesse the altar, whereof they have no right to eat who serve at the tabernacle, Hebr. 13. 10. / Written forth by Gervase Benson.

nor example in the Scriptures and take Tythes of the People and demand them as theirs by a humane Law made in the will of Man which the Ministers of Christ Jesus never did act any such thing nor sue any man at the law but he that preached the Gospel lived of the Gospel for so hath the Lord ordained Neither did Levi nor his Sons under the first Priesthood act any such thing for that Priesthood was made by a law Exod. 4.13 14. and Exod. 28.1 And had a commandement to take Tythes of the people according to the Law Hebr. 7.5 And no man took this honour to himself but he that was called of God as Aaron was Hebrewes 5.4 And those that did not bring their Tythes to the Store-house robbed God Malach. 3.8 10. and not the Priests neither were the Priests to go to the Magistrate to compell them by a law to pay them Tythes and Treble damages as the Priests now in England do but according to all that the Lord commanded so did they as you may read Levit. 8.36 But these men now in England who are called Ministers of the Gospel and of Christ are neither called of God who never heard his voice as Aaron was and those under the first pristhood who received their Law from God and had a commandement from Him to take Tythes of the People Nor as the Ministers of the Gospel were called who witnessed their call from God not of men neither by man but by Jesus Christ and God the Father who raised him from the dead Gal. 1.1 And the Gospell which was preached by them was not after man neither received they it of man neither was taught it but by Revelation of Jesus Christ And Christ-Jesus is the same yesterday to day and for ever and the Gospell is the same for saith the Apostle Gal. 1. If any preach another Gospell then that which we have preached let him be accursed And the Ministers of Christ are the same and are one who hold one Head who are led and guided by one spirit even the Spirit of Truth which the world cannot receive because it seeth him not neither knoweth him Joh. 14.17 And as many as are led by the Spirit of Christ they are the Ministers of Christ who abide in his Doctrine and do whatsoever he commandeth them But they that have not the Spirit of Christ even the same spirit which was in the Apostles of Christ they are none of his Ministers Rom. 8.9 And they that deny Revelation and affirm and say That all Revelation is ceased are no Ministers of Christ who know not the Father nor the Son For no man knoweth the Father but by the Son and he to whomsoever the Son will reveal him Matth. 11.27 And they who were the Ministers of Christ Jesus witnessed Revelations and delivered and preached to others no other doctrine but what they received of the Lord. Even that which from the begining was which they had heard which they had seen with their Eyes which they had looked upon and their hands had handled of the Word of Life 1 John 1.1 1 Cor. 15.3 which Word of Life those called Ministers in England who deny Revelation who sue men at the law for Tythes and maintenance never heard who are yet in their sins who live in pride covetousnesse and oppression who hold and teach that none can be free from sin nor overcome sin whilest they live here contrary to plain Scriptures Rom. 6.18.22 and 1 John 2.13 14. And so they being servants of sin are free from righteousnesse for it is they that are free from sin that are the Ministers of Christ Rom. 6.18 For he that commits sin is the servant of sin and no man can serve two Masters none can be the Servant of Christ whilest he is the servant of sin John 8.34 For Christ and sin are two contrary Masters and betwixt light and darknesse there is no fellowship 2 Cor. 6.14 For whosoever finneth hath not seen Christ neither known him 1 Joh. 3.6 And how can they be Christ Ministers who neither knew him nor ever saw him For who are Christs Ministers he is their Lord and Master and they do whatsoever he commandeth them Iohn 13.13 And where Christ Jesus is made manifest the works of the Devill are destroyed 1 Iohn 3.8 Now sin is of the Devill 1 Iohn 3.7 8. And the Devill is no Minister of Christ nor none that are of him and he that commits sin is of the devill who was a lyar from the beginning and abode not in the truth because there is no truth in him Iohn 8.44 neither is there truth in them who teach for doctrines the Tradition of men Matth. 15.9 Who hold up a worship and maintenance and the high places devised by man which they received by Tradition from the Pope and his Prelates after the customes of the Nations and not after Christ who make the Commandements of God of none effect by their traditions these are such as the Apostle spoke of 1 Tim. 4.1.2 who give heed to seducing spirits and doctrines of devills speaking lies in hypocrisie having their consciences seared with a hot Iron who run but God never sent them and say Thus saith the Lord when he never spoke to them and therefore it is they have not profited the people at all because they stood not in the counsel of the most High God who are not built upon the foundation of Prophets and Apostles and Ministers of Christ Jesus the Rock of ages but from the foundation of the Prophets Apostles and Disciples of Christ Jesus they are razed and excluded who are unholy for if their Root had been holy the branches would have been holy also Rom. 11.16 but their fruits have made them manifest to have sprung up from the bitter root who have troubled and defiled many Hebr. 12.15 themselves being unclean manifesting their root And therefore all people every where consider what ye are doing that hold up a Generation of men whom you call Ministers of Christ and of the Gospel who be unholy and uncleane who do the Temple of God defile who in the way of Cain do go and after the Errour of Balaam for rewards run greedily These are they that be spots in your feasts of Charity when they feast with you they feed themselves without fear clouds they are without water carried about of winds Trees whose fruit withereth without fruit who are Murmurers and Complainers who can never have enough who say What shall we eat what shall we drink wherewithall shall we be cloathed Matth. 6.25 c. Heathens they are and no Ministers of Christ who after their own ungodly lusts do walk whose mouthes speak great swelling words having men persons in admiration for advantage sensuall they are who have not the same spirit which was in the Apostles and Ministers of Christ as sundry of them have confessed and published in print whose Foundation and Root is now discovered and made
