all or the most that truly fear and love God And notwithstanding what by the perfidious and treacherous dealing of some particular persons that have beene employed about great works in our dayes who like Absolon or Achitophel to David or like Shemaiah to Nehemiah or Judas to Christ have proved false and what by discouragements of the honest party and disappointments of expectations in the losse of fair opportunities which we in England are not strangers unto And what by over-acting of others before dispensation to each particular gave the call And what by conjunction with such as have not beene reall hearted to the cause of God this truth and some others seeme to be slaine with the two witnesses for a time yet I am perswaded it will not be long before God will returne to his work that hath beene of late upon the wheele and either make some to remember themselves and do their first work or lay them aside that peoples eyes may be removed from instruments to himself and casheere them that have casheered themselves out of their imployments for God and his people and of stones raise up children to Abraham and bringers to passe of his minde and will for the setting up of Christian worship and throwing downe that carnal Ministery which is chiefly kept up by this irregular paying of tythes in this Nation to such as Gods people can see no mark of or call from God upon The result of all is clearly this that if great men will not meaner men shall Christ was borne of meane parentage came out of Galilee which could not but be a cloud over him and a great trial to the faith of the godly who were told that he was to come out of Bethlehem If professed Ministers out of fear distrust of God will give an uncertain sound tradesmen fishermen tentmakers blew-apron-men shall speak plainer I say if these with the Scribes Pharisees should be silent or enemies rather the stones shall cry out The little stone hewed out of the mountain without hands will throw down all that belongs to the fourth beast in either shape or forme We were wont to say in the times of the Prelacy that Homilies and the Service-Book were the two legges of a dumb Ministery in England Consider I pray you whether the compelling of payment of Tythes now as they are paid be not of great use for the continuance of a formal artificial outside carnal Ministery in this Nation But methinks I hear some say the Ordinance whereby Commissioners are appointed for the approbation of publik Preachers together with that whereby diverse are appointed for the ejection of scandalous and insufficient Ministers being duly and carefully executed will quickly make a riddance of many that are now imployed and so the last discourse before-going will be uselesse I acknowledge there is very much in those two Ordinances had we such spirited men as those actings call for which are in them required And were that way the way of Christ so clearly to all as perhaps it may be to some But the declared dissents and discontents of a very religious party do seeme to say something is wanting Besides raine to lay corne that should be cut downe is out of season And Barbers that cut off the haire and let the head alone that should rather be so used are insufficient to be executioners Consider what I say There is further this one thing generally complained of for I hear many things more then many that can do much more good then I can if they would that this tends very little in many places to the propagation of the Gospel or saving of souls For as a great man in the Ministery said in publike that he knew not which was the best death poisoning or starving so say many if such vacant places were filled with godly experienced Saints apt to teach 't were something but ancient men are found scandalous and so ejected and youths that will be any thing for a quiet life are found to be made use of or none at all to my knowledge Patrons and young men can agree about Livings and the Commissioners for Approbation never hear of either the Patron or his Clerk Blessed be God that hath so farre put it into the heart of those that have power to prepare Christs way before him as to do so much as hath beene done in this perverse froward and untoward Nation yet it is humbly conceived that notwithstanding the multiplied sentences of death upon Church work yet grace and mercy that are by dark dispensations usually ushered in are wrapped up and a coming all this while I wish none of my Brethren-would give way to envious grudgings against the persons of such as are now in power but rather pray for them which I am sure of they more stand in need of then give cause of envie And for them my prayer is that they will cast downe that foul Idol Discretion falsely so called My meaning is that they would not be too much given to fears and forecastings as Jonah was whereby he was put out of Gods way To make an end of my Appendix My hope is that the time is not far off in which truths will be better seene and agreed upon by and among the Saints As for fond Familists Quakers Ranters and such kinde of poore seduced be witched souls let them be looked upon with pitie as we are Saints and dealt withall by Magistrates as Gods Word doth warrant For my part I know no odds now betweene the power of our Governours and the Kings of Israel and Judah 'T is true their Kings were typical and their Land Sacramental but their power within Church and without was the same that now it is concerning both the Tables of the Morall Law But I finde not that they that ruled well did meddle with matters of Church cognisance purely so otherwise then to protect the Priests and Levites and people of God and punish evil-doers Ye cannot be ignorant of the ground of that catching question moved to our Lord Jesus Is it lawful to give tribute to Caesar If it had not beene Gods it had scarce beene worth the answering If one should aske of me Is it lawfull to pay Tythes to my Lord or Master such a one I have learned of my Lord and Master to answer Give and unto God the things that are Gods If Magistrates will not or cannot though they would redeeme or rescue the Lords portion out of the hands of the spoyler and sacrilegious Tenant and make way for the Saints observance of this Moral duty of giving God his due with more ease and disburden their consciences that are vexed for not sinning against it which yet may be their ignorance I say if this cannot be yet for I acknowledge many clouds of darknesse are about this truth which I hope the Sunne of righteousnesse will shortly dispel yet deride not slight not my counsel let the Sabbath day Ordinances whereof
