A85148 A rod to drive out the wilde bores, and subtill foxes, from amongst the vines that the vineyard may be kept cleer. Or, a gift sent to the priests; to let them see themselves, that they may acknowledge their errors, and upon them own their condemnation to be just and right, now the truth doth so plainly appear. / By R. Farneworth. R. F. (Richard Farnworth), d. 1666. 1655 (1655) Wing F502; Thomason E830_6; ESTC R207435 15,477 16

for your sakes that they are bound to do it but for the love they bare to Christ Rom. i2 20 2i Mat. 5.55 c.

Isa 66. i5 i6 Psal 9. i7 Mat. 25. 5i to the end Conclusion to these THe Grace of God teacheth us and all that obey it to deny ungodliness and worldly lusts Tit. 2. ii i2 And such we witnesse with for they that are Christs have crucifyed the flesh with the affections and lusts Gal. 5. And those that live in the spirit and walk in the spirit who are not sayers but doers of the word such we own Gal. 5 25.2● and you the Priests and Mational Ninisters we deny who are in the flesh and walk in the flesh and desyrous of vain-glory who are sayers but not doers therefore keep out from amongst the Vines and spoil them not you subtill Foxes least you be taken in the snare and catched in the trap this is a warning for you and a Rod to drive you out from the Saints priviledges being out of their practises This paper I was moved to write after there was to have been a meeting between the chiefe Priests some of them in Leicestershier and some of those the world calls quakers R. Farnworth If Paul and the Gospel Ministers were examples for others to follow after and if in preaching the Gospel for their worke they coveted no mans Silver nor Gold that the Gospel might be free and they chargeable nor burthensome to no man then they who in these days profess themselves ministers of the Gospel and do not follow such for their example but covet mens Silver and Gold and goods constraining and compelling people to pay them their demands and under a pretence to wit for preaching their brain imaginations from the letter which they call gospell thereby they are both chargeable and burthensome to people and are contrary to the Gospell Ministers therein and out of their Gospel example practise and order and so are no Ministers thereof but such are the Priests of the world or Ministers of man therefore no ministers of Christ nor his Gospell who said be ye followers of God as deare children and walk as you have us for an example and now bre●hren saith the true Gospel minister I commend you to God and the word of his grace which is able to build you up and give you an inheritance among all them that are sanctifyed and also saith hee I have coveted no mans Silver or Gold or Apparel but have Preached the gospel of God freely what is my reward then verily that when I Preach the Gospel I may make the Gospel of Christ without charge c. Acts. 20.32.33 Ephes 5. i. 2. Cor. 1i 7. i Cor. 9. i5 i6 i7 i8 i9 If the Ministers of the Gospel were content with foode and rayment and exhorted to avoid the love of money for it was and is the root of all evill and while some coveted after it they erred and do erre from the faith and so pierced do pierce themselvs through with many sorrows but the Man of God was to flye those things and is to wit the love of Money and not take it for preaching of the gopel by 20 40 60 i00 or 200 l. by the yeare then they who do so shew their lust running out and love after that to wit money and so flees Righteousness Faith Love Meeknesse and pierce themselves thorow with the many sorrows and do that which Gospell Ministers did not leaving undone what in the Gospel is required then they that do so contemn gospell counsel and order therein so shewing a Spirit of error and they thereby do appeare to be no Gospell Ministers that contemn Gospell Counsell and breake Gospell discipline and order but such as do so are the Priests of the VVorld and Nationall or Ungospellike Ministers that love Money and make it the ground of their Gospell for fyrst they agree for tythes or 20. 40. 60 i00 or 200. l. by the year so following that the Apostles and true Gospel Ministers did not who said having food and rayment let us therewith be content but they that will bee richfall into temptation and a snare and into many foolish and hurtfull Lusts which drowne men in destruction and perdition for the love of Money is the Roote of all Evill which while some coveted after as the Priests of these times do they er●ed from the Faith and pierced themselves through with many sorrows but 〈◊〉 men of God and Ministers of the Gospell did and do flee these things i Tim. 6.8.9 i0 ii Therefore the Priests of the world are contrary to the men of God and no Gospell Ministers therefore sylence deceivess and stop your Mouthes If Christ Iesus himselfe nor the Ministers of the Gospel never sprinkled any Infants nor gave no express Command for the same their sprinkling Infants is no Ordinance of Christ but neither Christ Iesus nor any Gospell Ministers did never sprinkle any Infants nor give no expresse Command in all the Scripture for the same therefore Sprinkling of Infants is no Ordinance of Christ but a Marke of the BEAST Revel i3 i6 i7 Then they who now professe themselves Ministers of the Gospell and do so to wit sprinkle Infants and call it an Ordinance of Christ when neither Christ nor his Gospel Ministers never practised such a thing to such Objects nor laid down no express Command in the Scripture for the same such as do sprinkle Infants are without the Gospel order and that is no VVork in the Gospel and they who Minister such things to such Objects are no Gospell Labourers nor Ministers thereof but such are the tything and hireling Priests therefore no Gospell Labourers nor Ministers thereof but deceivers of the Nations for their owne end with their braine Imaginations If that be no Gospell Labour which stands in the will of faln man as to Preach by an Hour-glasse and as they please when they will and how they will according to the fancies of their braine or to speake a divination of their own braine according to their will Stealing the words of their Neighbours to speak for their owne ends as the false Prophets did Ieremies 23. 3i 32. Then such are no Gospel Labourers that do so they that do so are no Gospell Labourers but vain deceivers which God is against but such are the Priests of the world or Nationall and Ungospellike Ministers under what notion soever
