if_o you_o will_v with_o a_o impartial_a eye_n serious_o mind_v these_o follow_a discovery_n make_v and_o confirm_v by_o the_o scripture_n from_o the_o lord_n you_o shall_v find_v somewhat_o discover_v of_o the_o right_a descent_n and_o ascent_n of_o the_o true_a gospel-ministry_n and_o of_o their_o parsonage_n patent_n and_o induction_n as_o they_o be_v ordain_v and_o send_v forth_o by_o the_o lord_n and_o own_a of_o he_o and_o also_o somewhat_o of_o such_o as_o be_v send_v by_o and_o from_o man_n that_o run_v before_o they_o be_v send_v of_o the_o chief_a governor_n and_o head_n of_o

my_o heart_n herein_o i_o have_v no_o other_o end_n nor_o respect_n of_o person_n in_o i_o in_o write_v of_o this_o by_o the_o lord_n teach_v of_o i_o than_o have_v either_o elijah_n or_o isaiah_n jeremiah_n ezekiel_n paul_n or_o any_o other_o that_o declare_v against_o those_o false_a teacher_n in_o their_o time_n that_o the_o lord_n disow_v or_o for_o any_o further_a end_n than_o what_o the_o lord_n appear_v in_o to_o be_v with_o or_o against_o they_o and_o if_o you_o judge_v i_o in_o what_o i_o have_v say_v from_o the_o lord_n herein_o i_o can_v well_o bear_v it_o and_o rejoice_v that_o in_o this_o one_o addition_n to_o the_o many_o sensible_a complaint_n go_v forth_o against_o falsehood_n and_o deceit_n in_o those_o that_o call_v themselves_o minister_n of_o christ_n that_o what_o i_o have_v write_v i_o be_v teach_v it_o immediate_o of_o and_o by_o the_o lord_n and_o not_o by_o or_o from_o man_n i_o beseech_v you_o weigh_v it_o for_o it_o will_v be_v find_v true_a that_o much_o lie_v in_o hazard_n in_o that_o very_a thing_n though_o little_o regard_v by_o the_o most_o it_o be_v no_o less_o than_o land_n liberty_n state_n soul_n of_o man_n yea_o all_o we_o be_v &_o do_v expect_v or_o enjoy_v and_o then_o certain_o its_o time_n to_o look_v about_o we_o or_o else_o it_o never_o will_v be_v but_o it_o may_v be_v you_o will_v say_v this_o be_v but_o some_o giddy_a conceit_n of_o a_o busy_a head_n but_o before_o you_o pass_v your_o censure_n thereon_o do_v like_o gamaliel_n consider_v and_o consult_v whether_o the_o lord_n or_o man_n most_o clear_o appear_v in_o it_o first_o observe_v well_o what_o the_o lord_n have_v do_v for_o we_o and_o to_o we_o here_o in_o these_o nation_n whether_o it_o be_v not_o as_o much_o or_o more_o than_o he_o do_v too_o and_o for_o those_o that_o he_o have_v severe_o judge_v for_o unfruitful_a people_n or_o unprofitable_a servant_n and_o know_v that_o the_o lord_n be_v the_o same_o yesterday_o and_o to_o day_n and_o for_o ever_o and_o will_v certain_o judge_v we_o as_o severe_o if_o we_o repent_v not_o speedy_o because_o he_o be_v god_n and_o change_v not_o but_o in_o hope_n of_o mercy_n will_v be_v pray_v that_o thus_o advise_v you_o from_o the_o lord_n and_o wait_v for_o the_o vision_n until_o the_o appoint_a time_n have_v his_o eye_n somewhat_o open_v by_o the_o lord_n but_o be_v bear_v blind_a and_o so_o live_v more_o than_o fifty_o year_n and_o there_o be_v never_o any_o hear_v of_o that_o ever_o can_v or_o do_v do_v such_o a_o cure_n but_o only_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n who_o be_v the_o same_o from_o and_o to_o eternity_n therefore_o beware_v how_o you_o slight_v his_o working_n in_o or_o upon_o any_o of_o the_o meaness_n of_o the_o son_n of_o man_n for_o than_o they_o will_v witness_v against_o you_o and_o say_v it_o be_v a_o marvellous_a thing_n that_o you_o discern_v not_o whence_o this_o work_n be_v but_o consider_v it_o well_o that_o few_o of_o the_o ruler_n or_o people_n do_v then_o believe_v neither_o be_v it_o discernible_a that_o many_o yet_o do_v but_o my_o hope_n be_v great_a of_o some_o of_o we_o because_o that_o many_o of_o they_o have_v not_o only_o say_v but_o have_v yield_v up_o to_o die_v for_o the_o liberty_n of_o the_o pure_a gospel_n though_o foul_o obscure_v to_o they_o by_o deceiver_n and_o upon_o these_o and_o many_o more_o good_a ground_n will_v i_o still_o hope_v wait_v and_o pray_v for_o the_o incoming_a of_o the_o gospel_n glory_n into_o these_o despise_a nation_n though_o fearful_o blind_a and_o insensible_a of_o it_o and_o so_o secure_a in_o the_o middle_n of_o danger_n and_o willing_a to_o remain_v as_o they_o be_v as_o the_o many_o address_n print_v witness_n sad_o but_o consider_v i_o pray_v that_o the_o lord_n come_v as_o the_o lightning_n sudden_o terribly_z and_o open_o in_o glorious_a brightness_n and_o as_o a_o thief_n in_o the_o night_n therefore_o it_o be_v declare_v to_o be_v the_o best_a wisdom_n for_o every_o one_o to_o be_v watch_v in_o that_o place_n his_o lord_n have_v set_v he_o in_o lest_o he_o come_v sudden_o and_o find_v they_o out_o of_o order_n and_o give_v they_o that_o sad_a portion_n threaten_v mat._n 24._o and_o further_o know_v that_o the_o lord_n be_v not_o slack_a as_o some_o think_v and_o say_v too_o neither_o shall_v one_o tittle_n of_o his_o word_n fail_v to_o be_v full_o accomplish_v in_o its_o own_o due_a time_n i_o beseech_v you_o consider_v that_o be_v in_o high_a place_n that_o if_o the_o ministry_n be_v not_o right_a that_o you_o set_v up_o the_o guilt_n will_v be_v a_o very_a sad_a one_o to_o you_o for_o it_o be_v the_o price_n of_o soul_n that_o be_v precious_a in_o the_o sight_n of_o the_o lord_n and_o to_o be_v guilty_a of_o the_o destroy_a one_o will_v prove_v to_o be_v of_o more_o loss_n to_o they_o then_o the_o loss_n of_o their_o life_n honour_n and_o what_o else_o you_o be_v or_o do_v enjoy_v and_o do_v not_o think_v i_o be_o too_o bold_a with_o you_o for_o it_o be_v in_o true_a love_n to_o and_o pity_n of_o your_o soul_n and_o in_o due_a respect_n to_o your_o person_n and_o office_n some_o among_o you_o that_o know_v i_o will_v engage_v for_o i_o in_o that_o if_o i_o need_v i_o dare_v say_v it_o belove_a friend_n because_o the_o difference_n be_v high_a among_o we_o about_o the_o gospel_n ministry_n whether_o it_o be_v to_o be_v find_v in_o or_o among_o the_o parish_n priest_n or_o parson_n or_o in_o and_o among_o the_o true_o godly_a that_o be_v call_v of_o god_n as_o aaron_n be_v of_o the_o first_o sort_n few_o such_o appear_v plain_o i_o fear_v and_o also_o because_o myself_o and_o many_o more_o of_o which_o some_o be_v true_o godly_a i_o doubt_v not_o have_v find_v by_o many_o fad_a experience_n the_o uneffectualness_n of_o the_o public_a party_n ministry_n especial_o of_o late_a time_n and_o have_v obtain_v mercy_n of_o the_o lord_n i_o declare_v my_o judgement_n therein_o who_o if_o i_o be_v know_v unto_o the_o world_n my_o labour_n i_o fear_v shall_v be_v slight_v the_o rather_o because_o of_o my_o meanness_n and_o i_o know_v and_o believe_v that_o i_o write_v these_o thing_n by_o the_o teach_n of_o the_o lord_n spirit_n and_o if_o you_o will_v search_v the_o scripture_n with_o i_o 14.3.12_o 1_o cor._n 14.3.12_o we_o shall_v sure_o find_v whether_o the_o preach_n of_o the_o gospel_n be_v from_o heaven_n or_o of_o man_n for_o it_o testify_v clear_o thereof_o but_o i_o fear_v that_o the_o most_o will_v belie_v the_o truth_n although_o it_o be_v clear_o manifest_v in_o and_o through_o the_o scripture_n 28.9.14_o isa_n 28.9.14_o that_o its_o of_o and_o from_o god_n and_o christ_n alone_o although_o man_n be_v make_v instument_n and_o tongue_n a_o help_n yet_o prophecy_n which_o be_v of_o the_o immediate_a teach_n of_o god_n exceed_v all_o for_o the_o edify_n of_o the_o church_n which_o be_v the_o declare_v of_o the_o mind_n of_o god_n 11._o 2_o tim._n 3.1.5_o tit._n 1.10_o 11._o by_o that_o
