A29185	The ministers of England which are called, the ministers of the gospel vveighed in the ballance of equity: by way of consideration, whereby it plainly appears, whether they be the ministers of Christ, or of antichrist. And also, whether to bear a testimony against a setled maintenance, either by tyths or any other way which may be invented to uphold that ministry, be any way dangerous to destroy the gospel of Christ; resolved. With a serious meditation upon the dealings of God with England, and the state thereof in general. Published for the satisfactiou [sic] of such as desire to prove all things, and are willing to hold that fast which is good; by a friend unto the faithful ministers of the gospel of Christ, John Braithwait.

to_o destroy_v the_o gospel_n of_o christ_n yea_o or_o nay_o and_o when_o i_o have_v consider_v well_o upon_o this_o matter_n i_o can_v not_o see_v nor_o find_v that_o christ_n have_v lay_v a_o settle_a or_o force_a maintenance_n for_o the_o foundation_n of_o the_o gospel_n but_o do_v send_v forth_o his_o minister_n free_o free_o they_o have_v receive_v 10.8_o mat._n 10.8_o free_o they_o be_v to_o give_v and_o he_o that_o preach_v the_o gospel_n may_v live_v of_o the_o gospel_n here_o the_o gospel_n be_v to_o maintain_v they_o and_o not_o a_o force_a maintenance_n to_o maintain_v it_o 9.14.18_o 1_o cor._n 9.14.18_o for_o the_o gospel_n be_v the_o power_n of_o god_n to_o salvation_n say_v the_o apostle_n who_o care_n be_v not_o to_o make_v the_o gospel_n chargeable_a but_o as_o it_o do_v appear_v those_o man_n which_o be_v call_v minister_n of_o the_o gospel_n now_o in_o england_n strive_v to_o make_v that_o which_o they_o call_v gospel_n chargeable_a and_o that_o not_o only_o to_o they_o who_o receive_v their_o doctrine_n but_o also_o to_o they_o who_o deny_v it_o which_o be_v a_o most_o unrighteous_a thing_n what_o can_v be_v more_o unrighteous_a than_o that_o one_o congregation_n or_o assembly_n of_o people_n shall_v be_v force_v by_o a_o law_n to_o maintain_v the_o minister_n and_o meeting_n place_n of_o another_o church_n or_o assembly_n which_o be_v clean_o contrary_a the_o one_o to_o the_o other_o in_o their_o judgement_n in_o thing_n appertain_v to_o the_o worship_n of_o god_n and_o if_o it_o may_v be_v unrighteousness_n in_o the_o one_o be_v it_o not_o so_o in_o the_o other_o see_v they_o both_o believe_v or_o at_o least_o they_o say_v the_o way_n which_o they_o walk_v in_o be_v the_o way_n of_o god_n object_n but_o if_o it_o can_v be_v

answ_n nay_o he_o that_o be_v in_o the_o right_a way_n must_v do_v as_o he_o will_v be_v do_v unto_o and_o that_o be_v just_a and_o right_a and_o that_o be_v the_o royal_a law_n 2.8_o jam._n 2.8_o the_o law_n of_o christ_n now_o if_o thou_o will_v not_o willing_o maintain_v the_o minister_n of_o a_o assembly_n that_o differ_v from_o theein_a judgement_n than_o thou_o must_v not_o desire_v

convince_v man_n or_o convert_v they_o unto_o god_n to_o eat_v they_o and_o to_o devour_v they_o will_v rather_o set_v man_n heart_n against_o thou_o and_o that_o way_n which_o thou_o do_v profess_v and_o therefore_o as_o in_o this_o respect_n to_o bear_v a_o testimony_n against_o tithe_n or_o any_o other_o force_a maintenance_n to_o maintain_v minister_n be_v no_o way_n dangerous_a to_o destroy_v the_o gospel_n of_o christ_n object_n but_o if_o there_o be_v not_o a_o law_n to_o compel_v man_n to_o pay_v to_o the_o minister_n people_n be_v so_o hard_o heart_v and_o covetous_a they_o will_v not_o pay_v towards_o their_o maintenance_n and_o then_o preach_v will_v go_v down_o and_o people_n will_v become_v heathen_n answ_n it_o seem_v then_o that_o for_o all_o the_o preach_a that_o have_v be_v in_o england_n people_n be_v yet_o hard_o heart_v and_o covetous_a what_o reason_n be_v there_o then_o that_o those_o that_o be_v yet_o hard_o heart_v &_o covetous_a shall_v pay_v or_o
