The cause I say is common to you with us viz. our Testimony against that which is now set up in the Land and both Ye and many of Vs also vowed to the most high God while we were among you we would never own such a thing and we have kept to our Vow and ye have shrunk therefrom How doth this hold now The whole Protestant Church in Europe hath much degenerated from the Primitive Christians and Protestants P. 45. both in Principles and Practices and is become quite another thing retaining the Name like an old rotten Ship that hath been so often Clamped and Clouted that all the former Timbers are worn ☞ out and others put in their place yet keeping the Name and somewhat of the Form and Shape and ye have sailed long up and down in this old rotten Ship which is just upon the Splitting and suffering Shipwrack For that ye kept not chaste to his Light in your Consciences P. 50. nor to the leadings of his Spirit this was it which discover'd to you the Popish and Prelatical Abominations Oh ye did run well who did hinder you But ye are become so foolish who began in the Spirit to end in the Flesh and now when ye had got upon the Walls and Bulwarks of your Enemies Building and levelled it to the Ground when ye had rooted out Prelacy and the many Corruptions and Superstitions accompanying the same and digged down a good part of Babylon's up-setting then ye betook your selves to Build Ye were angry at their Revenues being so great P. 53. and yet ye stept in also to many of them and into their Pride Covetousness Lightness Vanity Ambition Carelesness concerning the Work of Jesus Christ and the Salvation of poor People whereof ye took up the Charge and many other Iniquities they were found in for which the Lord was provoked against them ye have taken as it were a Succession of and ye thought the Lord would have winked at you He closeth thus The word of Commandment from the Lord which filled me with heavenly Joy and Comfort came unto me the 30th Day of the 10th Month called December saying P. 54. Shew unto the People of Scotland my true and righteous Judgment concerning the Particulars above-mentioned 2. Of the Ordinances Put not the name of the Ordinances of Jesus Christ upon Babylon's Brats P. 73. which whoso taketh and dasheth them to pieces against the Stones Blessed shall they be 3. His Character of Episcopacy Ye the Presbyterians of Scotland did well in departing from such Men P. 47 48. who gave themselves forth to be the Lord's Ministers and Servants but they ran and he sent them not and their Covetousness and Ambition and seeking how to please Men for their own Ends and not his Honour not any true Zeal for him set them on such a work to Lord it over the People which he had forbidden and it is Abomination to him together with the many things accompanying them which they gave forth for his Ordinances good Order Decency and Comeliness in the Church but were the meer Inventions of Men and Babylon's Golden Cup of Fornications Because of the Iniquity of such Men their Pride Pomp ibid. Covetousness Tyranny and Ambition his Wrath kindled against them and he poured Contempt and Desolation upon them for the cry of their Wickedness 4. His Character of the Quakers And now whether ye will hear or forbear P. 78 79. this I do declare unto you in the Name and Power and Authority of the living God The day of the Lord is of a truth broke up amongst ☜ us and ye shall look till your Eyes fail you and rot within your holes ere ever ye see another Day or Appearance of Jesus Christ to your Comfort than what we the People of the Lord called Quakers do witness come and yet more abundantly coming 5. Of Vniversities and Humane Learning Away with the Education of Youth at Universities and Colledges of Philosophy P 75 76 so called I may say of them which Luther stuck not to call them in his day that they are the Stews of Anti-christ for out of them comes this ignorant profane scandalous Ministry wherein they learn to talk of things they Understand not and to prate in Man's Wisdom which is Carnal Earthly and Devilish I certainly know the Humane Wisdom or Learning is one of the main Bulwarks of Antichrist against the Revelation and setting up the Kingdom of Christ in the Earth ibid. and because this is arising and shall rise down must the other go and all who seek to uphold it shall fall therewith II. Out of G. K 's Book entituled The Woman-Preacher of Samaria a better Preacher and more sufficiently qualified to Preach than any of the Men-Preachers of the Man-made-Ministry in these three Nations Printed Anno 1674. 6. Of the National Ministry I my self have had sundry Debates with both Conformists and Non-conformists P. 3 4. so called touching this same thing both affirming that true Faith and Piety was not needful to a Man's being a Preacher but that Letter-Learning was needful so that he could not be a Preacher without Letters but he could be a Preacher without Faith and Piety O abominable Doctrine And this same rule both follow in their trying Mens Qualifications unto the Ministry they try what knowledge they have in Strange Languages and Arts and Sciences Natural and what they can say upon places of Scripture but never one Word they question them concerning the Work of God in their Hearts or concerning their Faith and Piety But ☜ alas How can they try them concerning the work of Grace in their Hearts seeing they acknowledge they have not a discerning themselves whereby to know them surely and infallibly Yea they affirm There is no such discerning in these days as whereby Men can be known to be truly Gracious And doth not sad Experience shew it that the Generality of those Preachers have not true Faith and Piety their Lives and Conversations are so Gross and Carnal Yea do not many of themselves see it and have they not complained of it And yet doth not this Principle of theirs That wicked Men may be Preachers and ought to be received lay a Foundation for a wicked Ministry And this Foundation being laid with their own Hands will not wicked Men come in Thick and Throng ☜ And will not these wicked Men love to have all like themselves If they can have a wicked Man will not the wicked prefer him to another that but seems to be a Godly and may or may not be And thus in process of time the whole Ministry will consist of ungodly Men the wicked being still preferred by the wicked and carrying it by most Votes as among them called Presbyterians or by the Authority of the Bishop as among the Episcopal Oh! for shame never say that you are for a godly Ministry while you both lay such a Foundation for
