A BRIEF ANSWER UNTO THE CAMBRIDGE MODDEL VVhich is to go to the two Universities to be read by all the Doctors and Students Vice-Chancellor and Fellows as they will answer it to GOD And likewise this is to go to all those they call Gentlemen of the Countreys to whom this Moddel is directed from the DOCTORS for money to maintaine the STUDENTS And is to go amongst all the Priests that are and have been heretofore made Ministers by the same Doctors of Colledges now planted themselves in the Countreys And this is to go amongst all the Country-men that they may see the fruits of the Learning from these Doctors which Fruits is PERSECUTION And also that they and all people might come to learn of Christ the Prophet which is raised up which doth enlighten every man which comes into the world high and low rich and poor Bond and free Male and Female that all through him might believe who is the Covenant of God the leader of the people whom they should hear who reconciles in one things in heaven and things on earth who brings into Unity which is in the light which every man which comes into the world is lightned withal which is Christ that Abraham and the Prophets and Moses spake of he being enjoyed the end is seen By E. M. LONDON Printed for Thomas Simmons at the Bull and Mouth neer Aldersgate 1658. John Worthington John Arrowsmith Anthony Tuckney Benjamin Wichcot Ralph Cudworth William Dillingham Priest Baxter and Matthew Poole Some of their Principles as followeth in a Moddel for the maintaining of Students for the making of Ministers and is presented to the Gentlemen of the Countrey whereby these Ministers when they are made may be sent out into Ireland and Wales and into the dark places of England OH shame Cover your faces you chief Doctors and Teachers was this the work of the Apostles and is this the end of your so many thousands of pounds a a year you have out of the Nation and hundred pounds a year stipends Doth not your gold and silver begin to burn in your flesh and your bones Hath it not cankered your flesh yet Is it not rusted in your flesh yet Will you make Ministers and young Students for money Did the Apostles go begging up and down to Gentlemen as you call them for money to make Students to make Ministers Did Christ set forth such a way Now this is the way to make Ministers of the Letter who are persecutors of the Ministers of the Spirit for maintenance the people of God and you are more for the maintenance and they both when you have made them then for the glory of God and you are quite out of the steps of them that Christ sent forth that what was set before them they might eat And the foundation of your work lyes in your naturall parts and in your abilities buying and selling Parishes and begging Parishes and changing one from another Nay I know you Priests Black-coats and Doctors would eat up one another who are the worst of men and the worst of flesh which is become as the carrion fit for nothing but the wilde Beasts and wilde Creatures and Fowls and your fruits in all the Gaols in the Nation of the Ministers you have made declares it in prisoning and the Courts suing and prisoning them you do no work for a shamelesse company of men they are so ill bred at Oxford and Cambridge such a place of ill breeding that you bring a Nation and People into confusion But praised be the Lord God you are all measured and comprehended unlike the Ministers of the Gospel unlike the Church but your hearts appears are seared with a hot iron when you have made your Ministers both maker and made destroy people for dishonest gain who pretend to people that you are Ministers of Christ and be not which comes out of the two drosse houses Oxford and Cambridge and sends forth your Ministers you have made makes a trade of the Scriptures and sells their preaching and praying by the hour-glasse and tells the people when the glasse is run the time is spent Doth not all the sober people in the Nation behold here your folly and you sing Davids quaking and Prayers and Praises and prophecies for money For what Priest will come in the Steeple-house and sing without money Away with your abominations is this your Moddell for money Come sing freely and praise the Lord freely yea all Nations to the free God of heaven and earth and preach freely if yee have received freely But then scrubs the Priest and saith It hath cost me money and murmurs Come pray freely without money for the people to the Lord then he will hear your prayers without your wrath for your polluted hands is so full of blood and persecution for your bellies as your Courts and Gaols may witnesse and houses of Correction and stocks and whipping posts for the servants of the Lord God But I will arise and be eased of mine adversaries saith the Lord And you are far off the Mount and Sions Hill who are thus choaked up with Stipends and Augmentations Gleab Lands Midsomer dues and Easter reckonings and tythe Pigs and Geese c. gifts and rewards and hands so full of blood persecution wrath and doubting of ever overcoming sin and imperfection For what good when you have made them Ministers by money and send them forth to preach for money what good do they do for it you tell your hearers they shall never be made free from the body of sin nor imperfection they shall always carry the body of sin about them while they are upon earth and that they can never be perfect so denies the new Covenant that blots out sin and transgression in which men have peace with God You deny the blood of Jesus Christ which cleanseth from all sinne You deny the one offering Christ Jesus who hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified And so in this state you deny Christ that died at Jerusalem and so you are in a worse state then the first Priest hood which the comers to it was not made perfect and the first Covenant and so you are such as are crept into houses and have the forme of godlinesse but denies the power and keeps people alwayes learning laden with sin and divers lusts never able to come to the knowledge of truth like unto Jannes and Jambres that would have kept the children of Israel in temporal AEgypt and so you keep them in spirituall AEgypt Sodome and Gomorrah where Christ is crucified though it be in the Land of Canaan and you voluptuous Professors and Teachers and called Ministers and makers of them consider this for the fire of the jealousie of the Almighty is entring into your bones and your flesh and the dread of the Lord God Almighty will finde you out Take counsel never so much together against the Lords annointed the just he will break you to pieces
