of God c. as that which they called their Creed so then they was baptized with water and called Christians whenas before they were called Heathen and did not believe that that was the Christ that suffered at Ierusalem but now called Christians and believers though they were nothing changed from the heathenish nature and this was at the first comming in of the profession of Christian faith and Religion into England and those had the writings of the Prophets and Apostles which is called Scripture and so was the keepers of the letters and that they took to be their rule to walk by as they do now but knew not that which gave it forth to lead them unto the life but had the Letter and the form but could not walk according to it being led and guided by a contrary Principle to that which gave it forth so they gave their own meanings and imaginations upon it so then all that were called Christs were of the Christian Church and faith and so were counted believers then they sprinkled the children of those believers and by that were they entertained into their Church and faith and thus came up Infants Baptisme for which there is no Scripture nor example either from Christ or his Apostles and yet they cal this an ordinance of Christ thus they begin to ad their own traditions imaginations all are by nature the children of wrath and a littlewater on their faces doth not change them from that Eph. 23.14 but they grew up in al manner of unrighteousnes as drunkenness swearing lying covetousness adultery Idolatry pride wantonness envy murder deceit fraud and maliciousness the which was cast out of the Apostles Church and they was washed from such things and sanctified and regenerate into the new-Covenant reckoned such to be without as now Englands Church is upheld by then they had their two Sacraments as they call them for which word they have no Scripture and Infants baptisme is one and that which they call the Supper of the Lord is another and they had the carnall bread and wine as the Priests and people hath now and they give it to naturall carnall men and women and the Apostle saith he that eats and drinks this unworthily eats and drinks his own damnation not discerning the Lords body And the naturall man receives not the things of God because they are spiritually discerned 1 Cor. 2.14 1 Cor. 10.16 and the bread which the Saints breaks is the Communion of the Body of Christ and the cup which the Saints drinks is the Communion of the Blood of Christ and here is the Communion of the Saints and the Supper of the Lord to which he that hath not on a wedding Garment is not admitted but Englands Priests knows not what a wedding garment is and thus they planted their church in England and other places and then Bishops was set up and Archbishops for which name there is no Scripture and Deans and Priests and Deacons and Popes and one ruled over another and the Popes bore rule like Kings but they found never a Pope in the Scripture and the Bishops they bore rule by their means the Priests preached for hire and the people loved to have it so thus Antichrist set up his Kingdom under a profession of the Gospel then tythes came up for to maintain the Priests contrary to any rule in the Gospel then Universities was set up for to make ministers or priests as they call them for the which they have no rule in the Scripture thus they was set up by the wil and tradition of man as they are stil upheld as the false Prophets alwaies was then they had their long robes like the Pharises but not like the Apostles for from them they have no such example then they set up these Idols Temples which the blind and ignorant now call Churches or the houses of God for the which they have no example from the Gospell ministers for God never commanded these to be built and though Solomon built him one Temple yet nevertheless when the substance came Matthew 24. he prophesied of its downfall and destruction and Stephen witnessed against it was stoned to death by those that upheld it Paul witnessed against it was persecuted by those that upheld it as many of the servants messengers of God are now persecuted in these Idols Temples haled out and abused stoned and imprisoned by those that uphold them now though these was never ordained by God and then they got up into their Pulpets the chiefest places in the Synagogues as they are now and called of men Master and Doctor and had the uppermost Rooms at feasts greetings in the markets as it is now and then they stole the Apostles words as the false prophets stole the word from their neighbour so did and doth those and put them into Chapter verse an● took a verse and studied from it a divination of their own brain and added to it but not from the mouth of the Lord and so doth the Priests now but they run like the false Prophets the Lord never sent them therefore they profit not the people at all and then with feigned or studied words through covetousness they made merchandise of the people as they do now and so made a prey upon the sheep as they do now began to seek about for great livings and fat benefices and left a lesser and ran to a bigger so there was their beloved which they seeked for as the false Prophets which seeked for the fleece and regarded not the flock but fed with the fat cloathed with the wool and made a prey upon the sheep as they do now and cryed peace to those that put into their mouthes and called them beloved brethren and Christians but they that did not put into their mouthes they prepared war against them and brought a Law upon them and haled them before Courts Benches as they do now thus they sought for their gain from their quarter and ruled them with rigour so that until within these late years the Priests raigned like Lords over the people contrary to the practise of the ministers of the Gospel who made themselves servants to all 1 Cor. 9.19 and though they did ordain Bishops they did not ordain that they should live of others Estates or takes the Tenthes of the increase of others labours and live like Lords over the people but said a Bishop must be blameless the Husband of one Wife vigilent sober and of good behaviour given to hospitality apt to Teach not given to Wine no striker not greedy of filthy Lucre but patient not a Brawler not Covetous 1 Tim. 3. one that ruleth well his owne House not a novis least being lifted up with pride he fall into the Condemnation of the Divell now try your Priests and Teachers by this rule but they stood not
