And a tender visitation to the whole vvorld, that they may own this their visitation, and may be healed and restored to the Lord; and this may serve for a looking glass, wherein people may see what visage they are of, and how they stand related as unto God. / By a sufferer in Hartford goale, for faithful witness-bearing, against this sinful generation; known by the name of John Gould.

Bushel or under an ignorant blind zeal being brought up at the feet of some great Gamaliel or Doctor or Expounder or Meaning or Conceiving-giver of the Scriptures as Paul then vvas vvho are found in his steps and yet querying Where was the light I pray ye blind Zealots Think ye it 's onely to be found or had from Oxford and Cambridge and from St. Johns Colledge and not in St. John Or was he learn'd it at any such place and not by the revelation of Jesus Christ search the Scriptures and see And what was the end I pray of your Ministers being it sent to your Universities and the design of their Parents in it Was it the same that Christ taught and instructed and designed and set apart this for Or was it not that they might get a livelyhood and good maintenance and preferment as you call it in the World Was this Christ and his Ministers end And after they have been trained up or educated as you call it for some years at the Craft and become proficients in it are they not from thence sent forth having commenc't Mr. of the Science and able to handle their Weapons well in the defence of their Mother Mystery Babylon and afterwards being tryed by some able aged and more experienced Arts-man who had long worn his Philactery and found expert is ordained and sent forth to some certain place or Parish with an Order from man to enter and creep into a Stone-House there to lead silly Women captive laden with their sins and led about with divers lusts ever learning under them but never able to come to the knowledge of the truth and how should they when with a strong Law that none must come there to declare it under penalty of a House of Correction or a Parison as a disturber it 's not their Teachers guide nor end but two three or four or five hundred pounds a year which was in their eye And was it so in the Ministers of Christ search the Scriptures and see Was it so Or doth their Rule as they call it teach them to sprinkle Water on a childs face call it baptism or an Ordinance of Christ or to call Bread Wine a Sacrament do not such make void the Ordinance of Christ through their traditions What pattern have they from Christ or any of his Ministers for these things or for their Pulpit as 't is called their long Robes their walking before the dead their words over the dead their Knells their Bells their money for Buryings and Christenings their selling Funeral Sermons their Chancel-money their Pulpitmoney with many other knacks and toyes and pedlary Wares which they take money for and call their dues besides sweet-Meats and Wines for their Bellies are these Ordinances of Christ too No But these are say they for decency and uniformity Did not your fore-fathers say so who sought under those Names to usher in popery and idolatry And who gave ye orders for these and such like practises Received ye them from Christ or from your Rule search and see Or not from your fore-fathers the Bishops who taught you to pray and preach by the hour and to call upon those for money who will buy none of your Merchandize Are not these covetous practises And must you not have your Clark and Sexstone and Dog-Whipper too to attend for decencie and uniformitie Who taught you it VVere there ever such helpers in the Ministrie of the Gospel Yet these must have their pay too from such as require none of their labour for uniformitie sake Doth your Rule you pretend to teach you such practises search and see or doth it not rather condemn your burthensomness Do you think calling your great Stone-houses by the Saints Names is any honor to them or that ye shall have their benediction for it who are Enemies to their Doctrine practise manner of life and conversation who were called and chosen to the VVork of their Ministrie not by the will of man nor sent forth into the VVorld in mans will and time but by the revelation of Jesus Christ contrarie to mans VVill whose revelation ye denie and cannot own nor receive but say that 's ceas'd and so are deniers of Scriptures and yet would be accounted Christs Ministers Gospel-Ministers Gospel-professors VVhat Gospel is 't you Minister and professe who denie Revelation and the Letter also which witnesseth to it and professes that and preach that which the Scriptures no where speaks namely That Revelation is ceas'd Who revealed that to you you that denie Christs revelation Must it not needs be his enemie Antichrist vvhose Ministers then are ye who say that none must expect or wait for revelation now and that such who do are a sort of giddie-brain'd fellows and Apostates and such as these upstart Quakers who professe this new-found light who are contrarie to all mens opinions and judgements of the Scriptures but their own and was not truth ever so ye blind leaders of the blind Is truth to be accounted of according to mens judgements or opinions of it or as it is in it self infallible which word I know you cannot indure to hear who are in that which is fallible and so measuring truth by a lie and calling Jesus Beelzebub and God the Devil and Christ a Seducer and his Ministers Deluders and Deceivers and giddie-brain'd fellows and upstarts bringers in of damnable errors such like rak't
