A79851	A second voyce from the temple to the higher povvers. Wherein is proved that the decrees and institutions of popes and popish counsels, which have been established by the law of the land, and have been continued and confirmed throughout divers ages, by several acts of Parliament, against Jesus Christ, in the way and order of the Gospel (the same yet standing) ought by the present supream authority of this nation to be taken away. Moreover; here is shewed, some particular decrees of popes, which have beeen established by several acts of Parliament, viz. A nationall ministry, tythes, prohibiting men from publick preaching of the Gospel, unlesse elected and ordained after a popish manner, &c. All which as they are the institutions of popes, formerly confirmed by the law of the land, so now, to be abrogated. By John Canne.

national_a ministry_n essential_o derive_v from_o the_o sea_n of_o rome_n our_o reason_n be_v 1._o because_o this_o be_v little_o better_a than_o to_o rebel_v against_o christ_n and_o to_o seek_v what_o in_o we_o lie_v to_o uphold_v that_o thing_n which_o the_o lord_n will_v cast_v down_o and_o utter_o destroy_v 2._o it_o manife_v the_o great_a want_n of_o that_o zeal_n and_o love_n of_o god_n

say_n his_o servant_n you_o be_v who_o you_o do_v obey_v 4._o to_o do_v this_o it_o be_v to_o condemn_v the_o generation_n of_o the_o righteous_a who_o have_v suffer_v under_o popery_n and_o prelacy_n for_o refuse_v to_o pay_v tithe_n to_o the_o minister_n of_o antichrist_n and_o to_o destroy_v what_o the_o other_o build_v 5._o so_o long_o as_o tithe_n be_v payable_a by_o law_n to_o this_o

place_n be_v lawful_a and_o good_a because_o the_o law_n allow_v they_o maintenance_n and_o indeed_o they_o have_v little_a else_o to_o say_v for_o themselves_o their_o calling_n be_v so_o contrary_a to_o the_o order_n and_o way_n of_o the_o gospel_n 7._o this_o pay_v of_o tithe_n strengthen_v every_o where_o the_o ignorant_a people_n in_o their_o superstition_n and_o blindness_n and_o be_v a_o mean_n to_o hinder_v they_o from_o the_o light_n and_o knowledge_n of_o a_o gospel-minist_a for_o how_o can_v they_o otherwise_o but_o believe_v that_o their_o parish_n priest_n be_v send_v of_o god_n and_o tithe_n due_a to_o he_o so_o long_o as_o by_o the_o law_n of_o the_o land_n his_o ministry_n be_v only_o own_a and_o justify_v and_o he_o shall_v say_v cast_v you_o up_o cast_v you_o up_o

know_v no_o more_o of_o weight_n which_o be_v usual_o bring_v against_o the_o take_n away_o of_o tithe_n 1._o that_o it_o be_v injurious_a 2._o irreligious_a first_o injurious_a to_o alter_v or_o

more_o than_o what_o the_o bishop_n dean_n prebend_n etc._n etc._n and_o before_o they_o monk_n and_o friar_n may_v have_v say_v and_o upon_o as_o fair_a pretence_n ground_n and_o reason_n so_o that_o
