now_o call_v they_o lay-person_n and_o say_v they_o be_v not_o fit_v to_o preach_v for_o they_o be_v not_o learned_a nor_o ordain_v say_v you_o and_o call_v they_o mechanic_n and_o private_a preacher_n and_o say_v they_o must_v not_o now_o be_v admit_v to_o preach_v the_o gospel_n and_o in_o this_o you_o deny_v the_o scripture_n and_o the_o example_n of_o the_o saint_n in_o former_a age_n and_o so_o neither_o know_v the_o scripture_n nor_o the_o spirit_n that_o give_v they_o forth_o though_o you_o say_v you_o own_o the_o scripture_n yet_o if_o the_o same_o thing_n come_v to_o pass_v which_o they_o declare_v of_o you_o deny_v they_o in_o this_o age_n and_o cry_v against_o such_o as_o heretic_n who_o witness_v the_o fulfil_n of_o they_o which_o show_v you_o be_v of_o antichrist_n and_o that_o you_o quench_v the_o spirit_n in_o son_n and_o daughter_n which_o god_n have_v promise_v in_o the_o new_a covenant_n that_o he_o will_v give_v and_o pour_v forth_o upon_o son_n and_o

for_o your_o way_n of_o make_v minister_n at_o school_n and_o college_n and_o so_o quallify_a they_o with_o knowledge_n in_o the_o seven_o science_n as_o it_o be_v say_v and_o ordain_v they_o in_o

of_o god_n be_v lose_v and_o forsake_v by_o the_o apostate_n christian_n and_o the_o scripture_n make_v no_o mention_n of_o such_o way_n nor_o give_v no_o example_n for_o such_o thing_n and_o we_o can_v own_v any_o religion_n nor_o any_o practice_n thereof_o but_o what_o we_o have_v example_n for_o from_o the_o saint_n of_o old_a before_o we_o and_o we_o believe_v that_o it_o be_v general_o of_o antichrist_n to_o invent_v and_o introduce_v such_o and_o such_o practice_n for_o religion_n towards_o god_n and_o for_o the_o worship_n of_o he_o for_o which_o there_o be_v no_o example_n in_o all_o the_o christian_a church_n in_o the_o apostle_n day_n and_o we_o believe_v that_o way_n of_o make_v minister_n and_o send_v of_o they_o forth_o which_o be_v not_o approvable_a by_o the_o scripture_n nor_o according_a to_o they_o be_v of_o antichrist_n and_o not_o of_o god_n neither_o can_v we_o own_o such_o minister_n nor_o their_o ministry_n who_o be_v not_o ordain_v of_o god_n and_o according_a to_o the_o scripture_n nor_o can_v we_o deny_v private_a preacher_n nor_o their_o ministry_n as_o you_o call_v they_o if_o they_o have_v receive_v the_o spirit_n of_o christ_n though_o they_o be_v not_o so_o learned_a outward_o nor_o ordain_v according_a to_o what_o some_o may_v call_v the_o right_a way_n but_o who_o be_v minister_n make_v and_o send_v of_o god_n and_o have_v the_o authority_n of_o his_o spirit_n such_o we_o own_v and_o can_v deny_v and_o such_o the_o lord_n will_v bless_v with_o his_o presence_n to_o the_o confound_n of_o all_o their_o enemy_n concerning_o settlement_n in_o a_o happy_a government_n object_n there_o have_v be_v great_a division_n and_o distraction_n in_o these_o nation_n for_o divers_a year_n and_o in_o the_o midst_n of_o they_o the_o great_a cry_n have_v be_v by_o many_o for_o settlement_n and_o peace_n and_o for_o a_o quiet_a and_o happy_a government_n answ._n these_o thing_n have_v the_o lord_n suffer_v to_o come_v to_o pass_v in_o the_o world_n even_o great_a contention_n division_n and_o distraction_n and_o much_o change_n of_o government_n in_o these_o kingdom_n and_o the_o appear_a cause_n of_o these_o thing_n have_v be_v from_o the_o lust_n that_o have_v war_v in_o the_o member_n for_o from_o thence_o do_v war_n and_o strife_n arise_v and_o many_o have_v be_v ambition_n vainglorious_a self-seeking_a and_o covetous_a of_o the_o honour_n and_o pleasure_n of_o this_o world_n the_o lust_n and_o desire_n of_o these_o thing_n have_v possess_v the_o mind_n of_o man_n and_o induce_v they_o to_o envy_v and_o wrath_n one_o against_o another_o and_o have_v fill_v they_o with_o heartburning_n and_o cruelty_n of_o mind_n to_o the_o kill_n and_o destroy_v of_o one_o another_o by_o war_n and_o bloodshed_n and_o by_o plot_n and_o contrivance_n have_v seek_v how_o to_o extinguish_v one_o another_o from_o the_o earth_n that_o themselves_o may_v be_v exalt_v and_o thus_o from_o the_o desire_n that_o have_v war_v in_o man_n mind_n have_v war_n arise_v against_o the_o person_n of_o man_n and_o among_o they_o and_o this_o be_v the_o appear_a cause_n of_o the_o war_n and_o distraction_n that_o have_v be_v in_o these_o nation_n though_o the_o hide_a cause_n which_o have_v not_o so_o appear_v have_v be_v in_o god_n and_o because_o of_o the_o wickedness_n of_o man_n both_o high_a and_o low_a and_o because_o of_o their_o oppression_n and_o abomination_n which_o have_v be_v many_o and_o great_a in_o the_o world_n therefore_o have_v the_o god_n of_o heaven_n be_v provoke_v in_o just_a judgement_n towards_o ruler_n and_o people_n to_o suffer_v man_n to_o destroy_v one_o another_o and_o to_o execute_v bloodshed_n and_o destruction_n one_o upon_o another_o and_o he_o have_v bring_v it_o to_o pass_v in_o give_v up_o man_n to_o the_o fulfil_n of_o their_o cruel_a intent_n which_o have_v be_v hatch_v in_o their_o evil_a mind_n every_o man_n against_o his_o neighbour_n and_o even_o because_o they_o have_v be_v depart_v out_o of_o his_o counsel_n and_o follow_v their_o own_o wicked_a way_n and_o justice_n and_o mercy_n and_o truth_n have_v be_v want_v among_o man_n in_o these_o nation_n so_o that_o this_o be_v the_o principal_a cause_n wherefore_o the_o lord_n god_n have_v bring_v about_o and_o suffer_v these_o war_n distraction_n confusion_n and_o discord_n in_o these_o latter_a day_n and_o out_o of_o the_o justness_n of_o god_n judgement_n because_o of_o the_o wickedness_n of_o man_n have_v these_o thing_n be_v and_o now_o these_o distraction_n and_o confusion_n and_o discord_n among_o man_n can_v never_o whole_o and_o true_o cease_v to_o be_v till_o iniquity_n and_o transgression_n be_v repent_v of_o and_o turn_v from_o which_o be_v the_o very_a cause_n wherefore_o god_n have_v do_v and_o suffer_v these_o thing_n as_o i_o have_v say_v and_o so_o man_n must_v cease_v from_o oppression_n from_o cruelty_n and_o from_o all_o unrighteousness_n and_o must_v turn_v to_o the_o lord_n and_o become_v cleanse_v from_o their_o sin_n ere_o ever_o the_o judgement_n of_o the_o lord_n be_v remove_v and_o these_o distraction_n war_n and_o confusion_n cease_v to_o be_v in_o these_o land_n and_o till_o man_n become_v meek_a and_o humble_a and_o till_o they_o cease_v to_o seek_v revenge_n one_o of_o another_o and_o till_o they_o cease_v all_o oppression_n and_o covetousness_n injustice_n and_o unmercifulness_n and_o till_o they_o forsake_v their_o worldly_a honour_n and_o high_a title_n which_o puff_v they_o up_o in_o arrogancy_n and_o ambition_n and_o even_o till_o every_o man_n forsake_v his_o particular_a iniquity_n till_o all_o these_o thing_n be_v distraction_n will_v not_o cease_v nor_o shall_v settlement_n and_o peace_n and_o happy_a
