be_v as_o much_o difference_n between_o the_o true_a prophet_n of_o god_n and_o the_o true_a minister_n of_o christ_n and_o the_o false_a prophet_n and_o false_a minstor_n that_o either_o preach_v or_o prophesy_v for_o tithe_n or_o money_n or_o both_o as_o there_o be_v betwixt_o light_n and_o darkness_n and_o now_o i_o have_v something_o to_o propound_v unto_o all_o you_o clergyman_n before_o mention_v which_o do_v profess_v and_o say_v that_o you_o be_v true_a believer_n and_o minister_n of_o christ_n and_o that_o you_o follow_v christ_n and_o his_o minister_n for_o your_o example_n and_o that_o the_o scripture_n be_v your_o rule_n and_o guide_n for_o to_o walk_v by_o first_o where_o do_v you_o find_v or_o read_v in_o all_o the_o holy_a scripture_n of_o truth_n that_o any_o of_o the_o minister_n of_o christ_n ever_o go_v to_o any_o school_n of_o outward_a learning_n and_o stay_v several_a year_n there_o and_o do_v commence_v from_o one_o degree_n of_o learning_n unto_o another_o for_o to_o be_v make_v minister_n of_o christ_n as_o you_o clergyman_n do_v and_o do_v now_o and_o when_o you_o have_v be_v several_a year_n at_o such_o school_n or_o college_n until_o you_o think_v that_o you_o be_v artist_n and_o be_v sufficient_a for_o to_o preach_v to_o people_n than_o you_o get_v a_o order_n to_o preach_v and_o so_o you_o come_v from_o those_o school_n into_o the_o country_n and_o inquire_v where_o there_o be_v a_o vacant_a place_n where_o there_o be_v no_o minister_n and_o then_o you_o endeavour_v to_o get_v that_o place_n for_o to_o preach_v at_o if_o you_o like_v their_o wage_n but_o if_o not_o than_o you_o inquire_v for_o to_o get_v a_o better_a place_n where_o there_o be_v most_o tithe_n or_o money_n which_o be_v worth_a so_o much_o by_o the_o year_n and_o this_o be_v your_o call_n to_o your_o ministry_n but_o the_o true_a minister_n of_o christ_n be_v never_o call_v nor_o make_v minister_n after_o such_o a_o way_n and_o manner_n as_o you_o be_v and_o be_v not_o this_o way_n of_o you_o in_o be_v make_v minister_n like_v unto_o a_o man_n that_o bind_v his_o son_n to_o be_v a_o apprentice_n with_o a_o tradesman_n for_o several_a year_n to_o learn_v he_o his_o trade_n and_o give_v he_o so_o much_o money_n for_o so_o do_v &_o when_o his_o time_n be_v expier_v his_o master_n give_v he_o his_o indenture_n and_o then_o he_o become_v a_o free_a man_n to_o set_v up_o his_o trade_n and_o to_o trade_n for_o himself_o without_o any_o opposition_n but_o these_o clergyman_n before_o mention_v exceed_v all_o the_o tradesman_n in_o the_o world_n that_o have_v any_o principle_n of_o honesty_n rule_v in_o they_o for_o when_o a_o honest_a tradesman_n sell_v his_o commodity_n he_o deliver_v it_o to_o they_o or_o some_o for_o they_o that_o buy_v it_o and_o pay_v for_o it_o but_o these_o covetous_a clergyman_n aforesaid_a sell_v their_o sermon_n for_o tithe_n or_o money_n or_o both_o and_o keep_v they_o still_o and_o do_v not_o deliver_v they_o to_o those_o that_o pay_v for_o they_o and_o when_o they_o have_v a_o mind_n to_o go_v to_o another_o town_n to_o preach_v they_o may_v have_v some_o of_o their_o old_a sermon_n still_o for_o to_o preach_v to_o that_o people_n and_o if_o that_o people_n do_v not_o give_v they_o any_o money_n for_o that_o sermon_n yet_o notwithstanding_o they_o be_v pay_v for_o it_o by_o their_o own_o hearer_n which_o pay_v they_o so_o much_o every_o year_n for_o their_o preach_v which_o may_v amount_v to_o ten_o shilling_n or_o more_o for_o every_o sermon_n they_o preach_v throughout_o the_o whole_a year_n do_v ever_o the_o minister_n of_o christ_n do_v any_o such_o thing_n as_o these_o and_o further_o where_o do_v you_o find_v or_o read_v in_o all_o the_o scripture_n that_o any_o of_o the_o minister_n of_o christ_n take_v either_o tithe_n or_o money_n for_o their_o preach_v or_o go_v to_o law_n with_o any_o sort_n of_o people_n and_o take_v away_o their_o good_n and_o chattel_n and_o cast_v they_o into_o prison_n for_o not_o pay_v of_o they_o tithe_n or_o money_n for_o their_o preach_v as_o these_o ungodly_a covetous_a clergyman_n have_v do_v unto_o as_o these_o many_o year_n and_o still_o continue_v and_o go_v on_o in_o these_o wicked_a ungodly_a practice_n against_o we_o as_o be_v before_o mention_v and_o further_o where_o do_v you_o find_v or_o read_v in_o all_o the_o scripture_n that_o any_o of_o the_o minister_n of_o christ_n when_o they_o go_v to_o preach_v take_v a_o text_n of_o other_o man_n word_n and_o from_o those_o word_n raise_v doctrine_n reason_n motive_n uses_n and_o application_n as_o you_o clergyman_n do_v now_o and_o further_o where_o do_v you_o find_v or_o read_v in_o all_o the_o scripture_n that_o any_o of_o the_o minister_n of_o christ_n baptize_v infant_n and_o have_v surety_n to_o stand_v up_o for_o they_o and_o to_o promise_v that_o they_o shall_v forsake_v the_o devil_n and_o all_o his_o work_n the_o vain_a pomp_n and_o glory_n of_o the_o world_n with_o all_o covetous_a desire_n of_o the_o same_o the_o carnal_a desire_n of_o the_o flesh_n so_o that_o they_o will_v not_o follow_v nor_o be_v lead_v by_o they_o and_o all_o this_o the_o witness_n promise_v in_o the_o behalf_n of_o that_o child_n or_o child_n that_o they_o stand_v up_o for_o and_o when_o the_o priest_n ask_v those_o witness_n whether_o they_o do_v forsake_v the_o devil_n and_o all_o
in_o this_o present_a world_n and_o it_o will_v teach_v they_o for_o to_o do_v unto_o all_o people_n as_o they_o will_v be_v do_v unto_o themselves_o and_o it_o will_v teach_v they_o for_o to_o deal_v and_o to_o do_v just_o to_o all_o man_n and_o to_o love_n and_o show_v mercy_n unto_o all_o people_n and_o to_o walk_v in_o lowliness_n and_o in_o true_a humility_n before_o the_o lord_n and_o these_o thing_n the_o lord_n require_v of_o every_o one_o and_o it_o be_v the_o duty_n of_o every_o one_o so_o to_o do_v and_o now_o if_o this_o good_a spirit_n of_o christ_n do_v bear_v rule_n in_o every_o one_o heart_n it_o will_v lead_v and_o guide_v they_o in_o all_o truth_n and_o righteousness_n and_o it_o will_v lead_v and_o bring_v they_o out_o of_o all_o the_o wicked_a and_o ungodly_a way_n and_o worship_n and_o evil_a practice_n which_o be_v act_v and_o do_v among_o all_o the_o son_n and_o daughter_n of_o man_n which_o be_v now_o in_o the_o fall_n and_o live_v in_o sin_n and_o transgression_n against_o god_n and_o so_o be_v find_v to_o be_v in_o the_o unregenerate_a state_n and_o such_o be_v dead_a in_o their_o sin_n and_o trespass_n though_o their_o body_n be_v alive_a in_o this_o world_n and_o if_o this_o good_a spirit_n aforesaid_a do_v bear_v rule_n in_o every_o heart_n there_o will_v not_o be_v that_o kill_v nor_o destroy_v one_o another_o neither_o about_o religion_n nor_o no_o earthly_a thing_n whatsoever_o and_o therefore_o i_o will_v have_v all_o people_n to_o take_v notice_n that_o there_o be_v two_o spirit_n a_o good_a spirit_n and_o a_o evil_a spirit_n and_o the_o good_a spirit_n come_v from_o god_n and_o the_o evil_a spirit_n come_v from_o the_o devil_n and_o the_o good_a spirit_n lead_v people_n up_o to_o god_n to_o have_v fellowship_n &_o communion_n with_o he_o in_o spirit_n in_o their_o heart_n &_o soul_n and_o this_o be_v the_o only_a communion_n which_o be_v spiritual_a that_o be_v alone_o necessary_a and_o needful_a for_o every_o one_o to_o know_v in_o truth_n as_o to_o their_o everlasting_a happiness_n with_o the_o lord_n when_o time_n here_o in_o this_o world_n shall_v be_v no_o more_o to_o they_o and_o the_o evil_a spirit_n draw_v and_o
