a_o letter_n to_o the_o clergy_n of_o the_o diocese_n of_o norfolk_n and_o suffolk_n wherein_o they_o be_v desire_v to_o challenge_v the_o quaker_n once_o more_o to_o meet_v they_o in_o the_o face_n of_o the_o country_n in_o order_n to_o prove_v which_o of_o they_o be_v christ_n minister_n which_o may_v be_v do_v according_a to_o the_o method_n herein_o lay_v down_o with_o very_o little_a disputation_n and_o to_o the_o great_a satisfaction_n of_o the_o auditory_a by_o a_o member_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n sir_n i_o be_v at_o west-dereham_a december_n the_o 8_o last_v expect_v to_o have_v hear_v a_o dispute_n though_o it_o prove_v little_a but_o noise_n only_o a_o few_o charge_n you_o make_v against_o the_o old_a quaker_n by_o which_o it_o appear_v you_o have_v nothing_o to_o object_n against_o the_o present_a generation_n of_o they_o yet_o charge_v they_o all_o downright_a with_o blasphemy_n which_o you_o pretend_v to_o prove_v out_o of_o their_o book_n most_o of_o the_o author_n be_v in_o their_o grave_n some_o of_o who_o have_v be_v dead_a these_o twenty_o or_o thirty_o year_n and_o bring_v not_o one_o quotation_n or_o instance_n of_o a_o late_a date_n against_o they_o out_o of_o any_o of_o their_o book_n as_o i_o remember_v though_o it_o seem_v they_o have_v late_o write_v much_o which_o i_o with_o many_o more_o of_o the_o country_n think_v very_o strange_a that_o you_o shall_v be_v so_o lavish_a in_o your_o charge_n against_o they_o most_o of_o who_o you_o know_v not_o and_o can_v prove_v nothing_o against_o they_o present_a which_o may_v well_o make_v mr._n archer_n so_o far_o to_o do_v they_o justice_n as_o to_o say_v they_o be_v orthodox_n that_o which_o the_o quaker_n insist_v on_o i_o with_o many_o more_o both_o of_o our_o church_n and_o other_o admire_v at_o and_o think_v it_o very_o unreasonable_a in_o you_o to_o deny_v which_o be_v a_o copy_n of_o the_o quotation_n out_o of_o which_o you_o pretend_v to_o prove_v your_o charge_n though_o at_o the_o same_o time_n they_o proffer_v to_o pay_v for_o it_o the_o last_o day_n i_o be_v not_o there_o neither_o have_v hear_v any_o thing_n to_o purpose_n be_v do_v save_v you_o bait_v they_o with_o your_o bugg_n i_o conceive_v your_o design_n be_v to_o prove_v their_o religion_n false_a by_o your_o resolve_v beforehand_o on_o measure_n whether_o the_o quaker_n will_v meet_v you_o or_o no_o but_o i_o conceive_v you_o may_v have_v take_v a_o better_a way_n which_o be_v this_o first_o to_o prove_v your_o own_o religion_n true_a and_o your_o self_n christ_n minister_n and_o than_o you_o do_v not_o only_o prove_v the_o quaker_n false_a but_o all_o other_o that_o separate_v themselves_o from_o you_o perhaps_o you_o will_v say_v there_o be_v no_o need_n of_o that_o the_o church_n of_o england_n have_v be_v prove_v to_o be_v the_o true_a church_n many_o year_n and_o generation_n ago_o do_v that_o prove_v you_o to_o be_v christ_n own_o minister_n in_o these_o day_n and_o if_o you_o shall_v evade_v it_o and_o say_v who_o can_v disprove_v we_o to_o be_v minister_n of_o christ_n i_o confess_v i_o be_o not_o willing_a to_o go_v about_o that_o yet_o must_v tell_v you_o there_o be_v many_o in_o this_o nation_n and_o that_o of_o our_o church_n too_o which_o do_v great_o question_v that_o point_n whether_o you_o be_v christ_n minister_n therefore_o i_o shall_v think_v it_o absolute_a necessary_a for_o you_o to_o prove_v yourselves_o such_o if_o you_o can_v and_o that_o may_v end_v all_o difference_n and_o bring_v all_o into_o one_o mind_n again_o but_o perhaps_o you_o may_v think_v that_o will_v cause_v a_o long_a dispute_n but_o i_o will_v tell_v you_o a_o way_n to_o do_v it_o without_o dispute_n and_o it_o will_v be_v soon_o do_v i_o hope_v you_o will_v own_o that_o the_o apostle_n be_v christ_n minister_n and_o preach_v the_o right_n and_o true_a gospel_n according_a to_o the_o mind_n and_o will_n of_o christ_n jesus_n also_o hope_v you_o will_v allow_v that_o christ_n minister_n do_v preach_v the_o same_o in_o this_o our_o day_n as_o the_o apostle_n do_v in_o their_o day_n for_o the_o apostle_n paul_n seem_v to_o be_v very_o strict_a concern_v the_o gospel_n which_o they_o preach_v say_v though_o we_o or_o a_o angel_n from_o heaven_n preach_v any_o other_o gospel_n unto_o you_o than_o that_o you_o have_v receive_v let_v he_o be_v accurse_v gal._n 1._o 8._o and_o the_o apostle_n be_v so_o apprehensive_a of_o the_o need_n of_o that_o advice_n as_o though_o he_o have_v speak_v to_o our_o present_a preacher_n come_v over_o with_o it_o again_o in_o the_o next_o verse_n now_o my_o master_n let_v i_o ask_v you_o one_o question_n by_o reason_n you_o call_v yourselves_o christ_n minister_n what_o be_v the_o right_n and_o true_a gospel_n the_o apostle_n preach_v and_o i_o do_v not_o only_o put_v the_o question_n to_o you_o but_o to_o all_o those_o that_o call_v themselves_o christ_n minister_n for_o why_o none_o other_o can_v answer_v it_o right_o i_o find_v two_o sort_n of_o minister_n in_o the_o new_a testament_n the_o first_o be_v christ_n minister_n that_o receive_v their_o authority_n as_o st._n paul_n do_v not_o of_o man_n neither_o by_o man_n but_o by_o jesus_n christ_n and_o god_n the_o father_n the_o second_o be_v the_o pretend_a minister_n of_o christ_n these_o be_v they_o that_o receive_v their_o authority_n of_o man_n and_o by_o man_n of_o which_o i_o desire_v your_o serious_a consideration_n can_v you_o say_v with_o the_o apostle_n you_o have_v receive_v your_o authority_n not_o of_o nor_o by_o man_n but_o by_o jesus_n christ_n and_o god_n the_o father_n but_o if_o you_o have_v not_o how_o be_v you_o christ_n minister_n the_o gospel_n you_o see_v be_v but_o one_o in_o every_o age_n if_o we_o or_o a_o angel_n from_o heaven_n preach_v any_o other_o gospel_n unto_o you_o than_o that_o which_o we_o have_v preach_v let_v he_o be_v accurse_v do_v not_o this_o distinguish_v enough_o between_o the_o two_o sort_n of_o minister_n but_o christ_n further_o put_v the_o difference_n many_o will_v say_v to_o i_o in_o that_o day_n lord_n lord_n have_v we_o not_o prophesy_v in_o thy_o name_n and_o in_o thy_o name_n have_v cast_v out_o devil_n and_o in_o thy_o name_n do_v many_o wonderful_a work_n mat._n 7._o 22._o and_o in_o another_o place_n we_o have_v eat_v and_o drink_v in_o thy_o presence_n and_o thou_o have_v teach_v in_o our_o street_n but_o he_o shall_v say_v i_o tell_v you_o i_o know_v not_o whence_o you_o be_v depart_v from_o i_o all_o you_o worker_n of_o iniquity_n these_o be_v they_o that_o preach_v in_o christ_n name_n and_o do_v many_o notable_a work_n in_o his_o name_n yet_o you_o hear_v christ_n say_v he_o never_o know_v they_o that_o be_v as_o much_o as_o to_o say_v he_o never_o send_v they_o why_o who_o send_v they_o then_o they_o be_v send_v from_o the_o school_n of_o learning_n and_o without_o their_o send_n they_o must_v not_o preach_v if_o they_o have_v not_o their_o authority_n from_o these_o great_a school_n as_o st._n paul_n receive_v it_o from_o jesus_n christ_n and_o god_n the_o father_n they_o must_v not_o be_v receive_v pray_v unfold_v these_o contradiction_n if_o you_o can_v this_o scholarship_n be_v all_o lay_v by_o with_o st._n paul_n and_o nothing_o account_v on_o by_o he_o though_o he_o have_v as_o much_o of_o it_o as_o some_o of_o my_o master_n being_n bring_v up_o under_o gamaliel_n a_o great_a doctor_n in_o that_o day_n and_o christ_n tell_v paul_n that_o he_o appear_v to_o he_o on_o purpose_n to_o make_v he_o a_o minister_n and_o tell_v he_o what_o he_o be_v to_o do_v to_o open_v the_o blind_a eye_n to_o unstop_v the_o deaf_a ear_n to_o turn_v they_o from_o darkness_n to_o light_n and_o from_o satan_n power_n to_o god_n act_v 26._o now_o as_o christ_n and_o his_o apostle_n bare_a testimony_n against_o the_o man-made_a minister_n in_o that_o day_n so_o the_o lord_n command_v his_o prophet_n to_o cry_v in_o the_o word_n of_o the_o lord_n against_o the_o hireling_n priest_n and_o prophet_n under_o the_o law_n that_o preach_v for_o piece_n of_o bread_n and_o handful_n of_o barley_n he_o declare_v i_o have_v not_o send_v these_o prophet_n yet_o they_o run_v i_o have_v not_o speak_v to_o they_o yet_o they_o prophesy_v but_o if_o they_o have_v stand_v in_o my_o counsel_n and_o have_v cause_v my_o people_n to_o hear_v my_o word_n than_o they_o shall_v have_v turn_v they_o from_o their_o evil_a way_n and_o from_o the_o evil_a of_o their_o do_n jer._n 23._o 21_o 22._o now_o sir_n to_o return_v to_o my_o question_n perhaps_o you_o will_v say_v this_o gospel_n be_v glad_a tiding_n of_o a_o saviour_n that_o i_o grant_v be_v part_n but_o there_o go_v several_a other_o right_n
