like * Marcolphus his filthey scurrilous scoffings who allwayes carrieth filth in his Mouth as this Libell also doth 136. It bringeth but little repute to a Teacher of Christ who should forbid it others and yet doth it himselfe The Shepheards Office will be handsomely served by it none should trust his SOUL to such scoffings he will be deceived this Spirit standard upon the Sand and tottereth to and fro Men may try him now in such scoffings 137. Men may well know the Fowle by his Feathers Christ said That which is within that cometh forth what the Heart is full of that comes out upon the Mouth Also how can you that are evill speak that which is Good Also Can a Man gather Grapes of Thistles or Figs of Thorns A Good Man bringeth Good forth out of the Treasure of his heart and an Evill Man bringeth Evill forth out of the Treasure of his Evill Heart Luke 16. 45. 138. This I give now to the Reader to ponder of what kind of Good Treasure can the Primate have in Heart when he brings forth such wondrous things out of his Heart there must certainly needs stick many strange things therein which he ought indeed to be a little ashamed to bring forth seeing he is the High-Priest but if a Man come to him and but displease him with one word then a Man may hear Satan many times laugh out from him with reproachings and blasphemyes Libell 139. When Christ Taught the People he did it openly but the Shoemaker useth to creep into secret Corners Answer 140. CHRIST was a Teacher sent from God and yet must oftentimes depart from the Pharisees and Scribes learned in the Scriptures and go into the Wildernesse to teach the People when they saw him teach they would sain have killd him and called him a deceiver and maker of uproars and said he had his skill and Doctrine from the Devill and though they saw the wondrous signs or Miracles yet they were so Mad and hardned and supposed Teaching belonged only to them and did to him also as the Primato doth to the Shoemaker they called him a Wine-bibber and Minister or Servant to rich Publicans And John the Baptist preached also in the Wildernesse yes in the Wildernesse was the Gospell of Christ began by John also the Apostles must often for fear of the High-Priests Teach in Corners and Houses as the Acts of the Apostles witnesse 141. But the Shoemaker is no Preacher but he giveth only an account of his Gift and knowledge and speaketh often with Honest Hearts concerning The Way to Christ how we must convert and repent and become new-born for CHRIST saith also thus Where two or Three of you are met together in My Name there am I in the midst among them Matth 18. 10. 142. The Primne should teach us that when we come or meet together we should speak of GOD and of our Salvation and edifie or build up one another in true Love on the Contrary he forbids us this whereby Men may try what spirit he serveth A high Glasse of Wine in his meetings is better liked by him then A hearty blessed Conference concerning the New Birth 143. CHRIST on Earth had no greater Enemies then the High Priests it will be so still at this Day for all Warres and strife come from the High-Priests disputings and reproachings as it is before our Eyes if our Eyes be open to see it but the account is neer at hand Libell 144. Christ desired no Kingly honour but the Shoemaker if he could would be King and God to o Answer 145. CHRIST came upon Earth poor that he might have compassion on us and make us rich in Heaven and like his Dear Angells The Shoemaker also is upon Earth Poor and despised but desireth from CHRIST the Heavenly Kingly Honour and to be like the Angels also he desireth in Christ according to his Inward Faiths Ground to become with and in CHRIST Deified that Christs Deity may dwell and Eternally abide in him and that No Primate shall take away from him Hallelu-jah 146. The Starre is appeared which leadeth tho wise men or Magi to the Babe JESU oppose it how thou wilt O Devill it is in vain here is Body and Life MY Eternall Kingdome with CHRIST and the Holy Angels can none take away from me and if the whole world lay full of such Libells yet I would keep my Kingdome in Christ and tread the Libells under foot and not spare my outward Life for it I know a better Life which Christ my Lord will give me 147. Therefore then be gone thou fair wicked world I ask not after thy Honour Goods nor Money our Conversation is in Heaven with Christ for he is mine and I am his the Enemy shall not part us Hallelu-jah It is fallen it is fallen Babylon the Great City upon Earth and become habitation of all Devills and unclean Spirits Now is the Kingdome of our Christ sing my Soul and rejoyce that the Dragon in THEE is killed and the Life of GOD is brought forth again Nun last zornen Te●fell und die Hell Gott's sohn i st worden unser Gesell Let Devills rage and Hell have Indignation The Sonne of God 's become our sweet Companion Libell 148. Christ desired no Title and vain honour but the Shoemaker is brag of his Titles Answer 149. The will of his Father was the Title of CHRIST his honour was in God and he introduced it into our Humanity and exalted our humanity to the right hand of the Power of God that very honour he hath bestowed upon his Christians that they also in him sit at the right hand of the power of God an reign over Sinne Death the Devill Hell and the World THIS high Title also the Shoemaker claims to himself an desireth the highest kingly Title in the victory of our Lord JESUS CHRIST as a Champion over Death and Hell he desireth such a high Title that he may stand in the strife against Death and Hell and that in CHRIST he thinketh to conquer and overcome the whole world to be a King in Christ to rule over all Enimicitious Libells and reproaches of the Primate otherwise he desireth no worldly Titles for the Kingdom of a Christan is not of this world John 15. 19. for Christ saith I have called you out of the world so that you may be where I am John 17. 24. 150. But the Primate doth desire a Title for he hath set his Titles of the High-Priests Office and of his Person in the Libell with GREAT LETTERS that men might see the Richter or JUDGE who hath authority over Christs Children also if one come a little too neer him and did but forget to take of his Hat for fear of him he might well expect-some strange king of Title from him if he were not kickt for his pains Libell 151. CHRIST was satisfied with the Name of a Master but this Fellow will be called
