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.

thereof_o it_o be_v even_o but_o a_o remnant_n that_o have_v escape_v drink_v of_o this_o cup_n of_o abomination_n and_o these_o few_o be_v set_v even_o as_o a_o mark_n for_o all_o the_o rest_n to_o

love_v to_o have_v it_o so_o and_o therefore_o they_o cry_v for_o law_n to_o compel_v themselves_z to_o pay_v to_o their_o minister_n and_o my_o heart_n pity_v they_o that_o they_o shall_v be_v so_o

be_v ignorance_n 4.6_o 2_o cor._n 4.6_o for_o the_o people_n have_v be_v keep_v from_o the_o light_n which_o shall_v give_v unto_o they_o the_o knowledge_n of_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n and_o who_o have_v keep_v they_o from_o it_o but_o these_o merchant_n of_o babylon_n have_v not_o they_o call_v it_o natural_a have_v not_o they_o say_v that_o that_o which_o reprove_v for_o sin_n be_v a_o natural_a conscience_n and_o the_o scripture_n do_v say_v 8._o john_n 16_o 7_o 8._o it_o be_v the_o spirit_n of_o truth_n and_o so_o the_o people_n have_v be_v so_o foolish_a to_o give_v their_o

all_o these_o abomination_n and_o wickedness_n i_o mean_v those_o that_o go_v in_o balaams_n way_n then_o i_o begin_v to_o admire_v the_o long-suffering_a and_o forbearance_n of_o god_n who_o have_v spare_v they_o thus_o long_o and_o give_v they_o so_o many_o warning_n and_o visit_n by_o his_o servant_n that_o so_o they_o may_v return_v from_o their_o wickedness_n and_o the_o evil_a of_o their_o do_n that_o he_o may_v have_v mercy_n upon_o they_o and_o do_v they_o good_a but_o yet_o for_o all_o this_o they_o will_v not_o return_v but_o will_v do_v despite_n unto_o the_o spirit_n of_o grace_n and_o will_v cleave_v unto_o their_o idol_n it_o be_v not_o long_o ere_o the_o lord_n will_v say_v 6.3_o gen._n 6.3_o as_o he_o once_o say_v concern_v a_o people_n my_o spirit_n shall_v not_o always_o strive_v with_o man_n and_o then_o woe_n and_o desolation_n shall_v come_v upon_o they_o &_o all_o that_o partake_v with_o they_o wherefore_o you_o ruler_n and_o all_o people_n take_v heed_n that_o you_o do_v not_o uphold_v they_o after_o you_o see_v this_o their_o abomination_n if_o you_o do_v you_o shall_v not_o prosper_v nor_o escape_v the_o judgement_n of_o god_n and_o also_o take_v heed_n that_o you_o do_v not_o stop_v your_o ear_n against_o that_o which_o will_v let_v you_o understand_v and_o see_v their_o wickedness_n for_o if_o you_o do_v stop_v your_o ear_n ignorance_n shall_v not_o excuse_v you_o in_o the_o day_n of_o the_o lord_n god_n object_n but_o say_v the_o people_n our_o minister_n they_o christen_v our_o child_n and_o do_v not_o that_o make_v they_o christian_n and_o it_o be_v possible_a if_o we_o do_v not_o hire_v they_o they_o will_v not_o cristen_n our_o child_n and_o will_v they_o not_o then_o be_v heathen_n answ_n then_o it_o seem_v your_o minister_n do_v that_o which_o the_o minister_n of_o jesus_n christ_n do_v not_o do_v to_o wit_n sprinkle_v infant_n and_o call_v it_o cristen_v or_o baptism_n a_o ordinance_n of_o the_o pope_n make_v and_o for_o which_o all_o the_o great_a sum_n of_o money_n be_v give_v to_o the_o pope_n and_o his_o minister_n that_o you_o may_v have_v the_o name_n of_o christian_n which_o name_n as_o it_o appear_v to_o i_o be_v derive_v from_o sprinkle_v with_o water_n which_o some_o people_n call_v cristen_v and_o indeed_o it_o be_v possible_a if_o the_o pope_n wage_n be_v take_v away_o than_o they_o will_v cease_v to_o sprinkle_v the_o child_n but_o however_o this_o be_v my_o testimony_n that_o they_o have_v no_o right_n in_o equity_n and_o conscience_n to_o demand_v much_o less_o to_o force_v a_o maintenance_n from_o those_o that_o do_v not_o hire_v they_o nor_o approve_v of_o their_o doctrine_n as_o their_o cristen_n and_o such_o like_a thing_n which_o be_v not_o at_o all_o necessary_a to_o salvation_n but_o this_o be_v the_o thing_n that_o be_v necessary_a to_o salvation_n that_o child_n be_v inform_v to_o the_o light_n god_n covenant_n which_o be_v give_v for_o salvation_n to_o the_o end_n of_o
