from preaching Let no man say I take upon me to teach for what I do is but as the Apostle saith 2 Pet 3.2 To stirre up your pure minds by way of remembrance though ye know these things for I heartily desire peace and unity and that all men would remember and practice St. Paul's exhortation Colos 3.13 To forbear one another and to forgive one another and if any man have a quarrell against any even as Christ forgave you so also do ye Or else how 〈◊〉 any man pray the Lords Prayer a Heathen may say it but no man can pray it but such as are willing to passe by their Brethrens failings and infirmities For if ye forgive not men their trespasses neither will your Heavenly Father forgive your trespasses And these Men we speake of say that if they trespasse against Men in denying to subscribe Canonicall obdience it is fearing they should trespasse against God if they should do it because they cannot do it of faith and whatsoever is not of faith is sin and whether it be right in your sight to obey Men rather than God judge ye A third Quaerie may be this vizt Whether the silencing of Godly Ministers have not some relation to the causing of the daily Sacrifice to cease that hath been offered up daily to God and how do men thinke God will take it Whose voice once shooke the Earth Heb 12.26 27. but now he hath promised saying Yet once mose I shake not the Earth only but also Heaven and this word yet once more signifieth the removing of those things that are shaken as of things that are made which some thinke the things that are made are to be understood of all Humane Inventions in Divine Worship that the things that are not made may remain that is those things that are of Divine Institution shall remain Men nor Divells nor all the Powers of Darkenesse shall not be able to prevaile against that which is of Divine Institution when all Humane Inventions in point of Divine Worship shall be removed according to this Promise If any should thinke or say that I make my selfe too busy to propound such Questions give me leave to answer such That I do but propound my Question to men and yet I find Ieremiah in the 12 chap in such an evill time as this when God had warned the Prophet chap 7. verse 16. and chap 11. verse 14. That he should not pray for that people for their good for he would not hear him for them yet even then did Ieremiah chap 12. verse 1. propound a question to God Wherefore doth the way of the wicked prosper wherefore are all they happy that deal treacherously meaning that they were happy as to their outward estate in the world For saith he thou hast planted them and they have taken root and grow thou art near their mouth and farr from their reins Then God answers Ieremiah ver 6. Even thy brethren and the house of thy Father they have dealt treacherously with thee they have called a multitude after thee and verse 10. Many Pastours have destroyed my Vineyard they have troden down my portion under foot they have made my pleasant portion a desolate wildernesse and being desolate it mou●●●th to me and verses 13 14. They have sowen wheat but shall reap thornes For thus saith the Lord against all mine evill neighbors that touch mine Inheritance which I have caused my people Israell to inherit Behold I will pluck them out of their Land and no marvell if God pluck them out when they had pluct God's people out first for he that toucheth them toucheth the Apple of his eye I am loath to trouble the Reader with too much untill I see how this will be accepted and now all those that love our Lord Jesus Christ in sincerity I commend you to God and to the word of his Grace which is able to build you up and to give you an inheritance among them that are sanctified By George Pressicke FINIS
