A65249 Lamentation over England from a true sight, and suffering sense, of the lamentable wickedness of such rulers, priests, and people, that are erred, and strayed from the way of God, and follow too much the devices and desires of their own hearts, offending against his holy laws ... : whereby all persecutors may (in pity to their souls) truly consider what way they are in, and whether it leads, and whose work they are doing, and what the Scripture saith will be the reward of oppression and cruelty / by M.W. Watkins, Morgan, fl. 1653-1670. 1664 (1664) Wing W1066; ESTC R38958 45,267 54

as_o you_o say_v and_o be_v possible_a to_o be_v do_v by_o the_o power_n of_o god_n as_o i_o say_v then_o let_v the_o priest_n bring_v forth_o one_o out_o of_o all_o the_o parish_n in_o england_n that_o they_o by_o their_o ministry_n have_v teach_v and_o bring_v into_o this_o perfect_a life_n which_o they_o have_v make_v the_o people_n promise_n and_o vow_n that_o the_o child_n shall_v

flock_n that_o have_v do_v that_o which_o you_o say_v and_o they_o promise_v and_o vow_n they_o ought_v to_o do_v first_o you_o ought_v to_o do_v your_o work_n before_o you_o require_v your_o wage_n but_o you_o take_v the_o reward_n first_o so_o you_o be_v herein_o more_o cunning_a than_o balaam_n for_o you_o be_v sure_a of_o the_o reward_n though_o you_o never_o do_v the_o work_n and_o most_o of_o you_o be_v not_o ashamed_a to_o say_v it_o can_v never_o be_v do_v here_o yet_o you_o still_o take_v the_o wage_n can_v this_o be_v any_o other_o than_o the_o wage_n of_o unrighteousness_n to_o

never_o do_v the_o work_n therefore_o you_o be_v unprofitable_a servant_n and_o no_o minister_n of_o christ_n and_o therefore_o we_o can_v follow_v you_o who_o deny_v the_o light_n of_o christ_n

this_o world_n except_o you_o can_v do_v your_o work_n in_o this_o world_n but_o the_o apostle_n and_o minister_n of_o christ_n through_o the_o power_n of_o their_o gift_n bring_v man_n to_o the_o

but_o if_o you_o have_v teach_v the_o people_n to_o promise_v and_o vow_n that_o which_o they_o nor_o you_o can_v never_o perform_v than_o you_o have_v lead_v the_o people_n into_o error_n and_o if_o
