of_o such_o help_a they_o as_o before_o he_o count_v as_o walk_a devil_n and_o as_o the_o high_a in_o wickedness_n upon_o earth_n sure_o he_o can_v but_o help_v his_o hearer_n bad_o and_o miserable_o for_o their_o soul_n see_v his_o strength_n be_v so_o much_o decay_v that_o he_o will_v thank_v they_o he_o call_v malignant_n if_o he_o can_v have_v their_o help_n it_o may_v be_v just_o say_v that_o they_o that_o seek_v to_o he_o for_o help_n do_v but_o go_v down_o into_o egypt_n for_o help_v priest_n if_o the_o magistrate_n stop_v the_o mouth_n of_o such_o raylor_n and_o abuser_n of_o god_n and_o man_n he_o do_v no_o more_o persecute_v than_o he_o persecute_v a_o thief_n when_o he_o hauge_v he_o and_o this_o he_o speak_v against_o they_o call_v quaker_n in_o page_n 12._o answer_n here_o his_o envy_n and_o maliciousness_n be_v make_v appear_v whereby_o he_o will_v stir_v up_o the_o magistrate_n to_o persecute_v we_o for_o our_o profession_n which_o we_o know_v christ_n jesus_n be_v the_o author_n of_o and_o this_o be_v because_o that_o we_o be_v make_v to_o witness_v against_o he_o and_o against_o such_o deceitful_a tradesman_n as_o he_o be_v but_o if_o he_o be_v in_o the_o

a_o good_a example_n but_o such_o as_o he_o be_v manifest_a to_o be_v out_o of_o both_o and_o he_o will_v bring_v paul_n and_o peter_n and_o the_o church_n of_o christ_n for_o a_o cloak_n to_o his_o malice_n which_o here_o he_o have_v utter_v to_o the_o magistrate_n against_o we_o but_o they_o will_v not_o cover_v he_o nor_o his_o deceit_n for_o though_o they_o reject_v judge_v and_o deliver_v some_o up_o to_o satan_n yet_o they_o do_v not_o persecute_v they_o nor_o complain_v to_o the_o magistrate_n to_o have_v they_o east_n into_o prison_n nor_o to_o have_v their_o good_n take_v from_o they_o for_o their_o profession_n as_o many_o of_o the_o priest_n in_o england_n have_v do_v by_o who_o many_o of_o the_o servant_n of_o the_o lord_n in_o england_n have_v suffer_v and_o do_v suffer_v both_o the_o spoil_n of_o their_o good_n and_o imprisonment_n and_o some_o the_o loss_n of_o their_o life_n in_o prison_n who_o suffering_n will_v rise_v up_o as_o a_o heavy_a judgement_n when_o their_o prayer_n shall_v be_v fulfil_v against_o their_o persecutor_n and_o this_o say_a priest_n it_o appear_v allow_v of_o hang_v they_o that_o steal_v see_v that_o he_o will_v have_v we_o persecute_v and_o count_v it_o as_o lawful_a as_o hang_v a_o thief_n answer_n here_o this_o be_v a_o murderous_a spirit_n that_o will_v take_v away_o the_o life_n for_o the_o creature_n and_o so_o do_v be_v contrary_a to_o the_o law_n of_o god_n let_v the_o priest_n and_o the_o magistrate_n read_v exod._n 22._o 1_o 2_o 3._o if_o a_o man_n shall_v steal_v a_o ox_n or_o a_o sheep_n and_o kill_v

shall_v no_o blood_n be_v shed_v for_o he_o if_o the_o sun_n be_v rise_v upon_o he_o there_o shall_v he_o blood_n shed_v for_o he_o for_o he_o shall_v make_v restitution_n if_o he_o have_v nothing_o than_o he_o shall_v be_v sell_v for_o his_o theft_n mark_v by_o this_o then_o if_o the_o thief_n be_v slay_v after_o the_o sun_n be_v rise_v there_o be_v blood_n to_o be_v shed_v for_o he_o and_o in_o verse_n the_o four_o if_o the_o theft_n certain_o be_v find_v alive_a in_o his_o hand_n whether_o it_o be_v ox_n ass_n or_o sheep_n he_o shall_v restore_v double_a and_o in_o eph._n 4._o 28._o let_v he_o that_o steal_v steal_v no_o more_o but_o rather_o let_v he_o labour_v work_v with_o his_o hand_n the_o thing_n which_o be_v good_a that_o he_o may_v have_v to_o give_v to_o he_o that_o need_v

where_o revelation_n be_v deny_v by_o the_o false_a minister_n and_o that_o the_o scripture_n and_o the_o form_n of_o sound_a word_n do_v not_o make_v void_a revelation_n whereas_o r_o baxter_n in_o his_o first_o proposition_n in_o page_n 3_o 4_o go_v about_o to_o prove_v 2_o distinct_a sort_n of_o minister_n first_o such_o as_o receive_v revelation_n or_o a_o particular_a law_n or_o message_n immediate_o from_o god_n these_o be_v prophet_n and_o apostle_n and_o he_o go_v about_o to_o distinguish_v a_o second_o sort_n of_o minister_n from_o they_o and_o the_o second_o sort_n he_o call_v over_o seer_n bishop_n presbyter_n or_o elder_n pastor_n and_o teacher_n and_o deacon_n and_o that_o the_o latter_a sort_n as_o he_o call_v they_o be_v not_o to_o declarewhat_o they_o have_v

which_o be_v commit_v to_o we_o and_o not_o to_o reveal_v more_o answ._n this_o be_v a_o false_a distinction_n and_o a_o pervert_v the_o scripture_n to_o distinguish_v elder_n pastor_n and_o teacher_n
