to be brought into one Treasury into the House of God year by year for the ends aforesaid Neh. 10. but you carry it into your own Barns and Houses and there use it for your own ends if not to abuse it and spend it upon your lusts Again then the Levites whose right the Tythes then were they were to offer up a Tenth part of all the Tythes for a ●eave Offering unto the Lord but you do not do so Again they were not to eat the Tythes by themselves in their own houses or within their own gates but with the Strangers and Fatherless and Widows in the house and in the place the Lord had chosen Deut. 12. 17 18. But you do carry it into your own barns and do eat it within your own gates and do shut out the Strangers and the Fatherless and the Widows so that they have no part nor portion in this matter with you And thus it was in the time of the Law among the Jewes about Tythes when it was in force which though you will take as by virtue of that Law yet you will not pactise in all things no nor in any thing according to that Law except in the very taking of them But now under the Gospel since Christ as I said before hath put an end to that Priesthood and changed the Law and disanulled the Commandment thereof we do not find that ever Christ Commanded Tythes to be payd or ever appointed any set maintenance for his Ministers to receive which he sends forth to preach the Gospel Neither was any such practice used in the Primitive times but Christ sent them forth without gold without silver and without brass in their purses and without a Scrip for their Journey c. Mat. 10. 9 10. And they had as hard a hearted people to deal with then as any are now for who more hard-hearted then Jews and therefore it is become a by-word amongst us to say as cruel and as hard-hearted as a Jew and yet they lacked nothing Luk. 22. 35. And Paul who was an Apostle not of men neither by man but by Jesus Christ c. Gal. 1. 1. saith whom all men are to follow as he followed Christ he behaved not himself disorderly neither did he eat any mans bread for nought but wrought with labour and travelled night and day with our hands 1 Cor. 4. 12. that we might not be chargeable to any of you 2 Thes. 3. 7 8 9. And is not then the matter of Tythes now under the Gospel a Popish Intrusion which you stand up to maintain for your Bellies sake Again witness 4. Your calling the Popish Mass-Houses built of material wood and stone Churches when as the Church of Christ is in God 2 Thes. 1. 1. and is built up of living stones fitly joyned together by him whereof he himself is the chief Corner Stone elect and pretious 1 Pet. 2 4 5 6. Again witness 5. Your late fleeing from your Flocks when you saw the Wolf coming leaving them to be scattered and catcht by the Wolf in the time of their greatest danger which proves you to be hireling Priests and Idol Shepherds and not true Shepherds whose own the sheep are not for then would you care for the sheep and lay down your lives for the sheep and for the Truth the Pasture of the sheep and so make good the words of Christ against you who saith The good shepherd giveth his Life for the sheep but he that is a hireling and not the shepherd whose own the sheep are not seeth the Wolf coming and leaveth the sheep and fleeth and the wolf catcheth them and scatttreth the sheep the hireling fleeth because he is a hireling and careth not for the sheep Joh. 10. 11 12 13. Yea and that which is worse thou Tho. Jackson more especially hast not onely contrary to thy duty left thy flock and left off preaching the Gospel for fear of Persecution and so thereby brought thy self under the woe the Apostle pronounces 1 Cor. 9. 16. who saith there that a necessity is laid upon me yea woe is unto me if I preach not the Gospel but also hast with some others most treacherously betraied your simple ignorant flocks into the very hands and mouthes of the Wolves by perswading them poor silly sheep whose Faiths are too much pin'd upon your sleeves to go to the publick to the high places there to hear the Service Book c. and those that Preach there in all the Whores Robes rather than not go to the publick at all which some have done to the wounding of their Consciences and all this lest peradventure as you fear they your Proselytes when they have used themselves to a separation from the publick may hereafter separate also from you when the day of your Restauration shall come which you daily hope for or otherwise it is to be feared that if you had not many of you taken the Covenant you would have stooped to and crouched under all the relicks of Popery that are now publickly in use rather then to have quit your Livings which now you cannot some of you though too many of your brethren have and all because if you should your more discerning hearers would easily discern your Perjury and so decline you for ever And now hast not thou hereby betrayed the souls of the Ignorant and sold them for bread and made merchandise of them for a pair of shoes and will they not be required one day at thy hands Consider and repent if it be possible before it be too late But oh you simple-hearted People who have been long hearers of these men and a long time learning and not yet come to the knowledge of the Truth why are ye so blind and see not that these be the men most of them that the Apostle speaks of that have but a Form of godliness but deny the Power from whom you are warned and commanded to turn away from 2 Tim. 3. 5 6 7. Wherefore Come forth from among them and be ye separate saith the Lord and touch no unclean thing and I will recieve you and will be a Father unto you and ye shall be my sons and daughters saith the Lord Almighty 2 Cor. 6. 17 18. Turn your hearts and minds inward and look within For the Grace of God which brings Salvation hath appeared unto all men teaching us that denying ungodliness and worldly lusts we should live soberly righteously and godly in this present world Tit. 2. 11. Therefore look not for it without you but look for it within your outward Teachers are taken away and removed into corners that you may look within for a Teacher that cannot be removed into a corner And the Word of God is within and the true Teacher which can teach you all things is within and the Kingdom of God is within you and Christ the King of that Kingdom is within you too except ye be reprobates and the Temple of God is
