And thou shewest thy self to be that evil Tree that casteth the Ordinances of Christ behinde thy back and shewest thy self to be the Reviler and the Reproacher of the servants of God for doth not Christ say They are called of men Master and have the chiefest places in the Assemblies Matth. ●3 and art not thou there and he bids his Ministers not to be as they were and here thou shewest thy self to disobey the commands of Christ and to be the evil Tree because we deal plainly with thee this thou callest reviling and reproaching we speak the words that Christ himself spoke which testifie against thee who livest in thy filthiness and with all thy might and main wouldst hold it up against Christ and his servants and wouldst pervert his words but the Lamb hath got the victory prayses prayses be to the Lord God Almighty for ever Rev. 17. 14.
