for_o first_o lion_n get_v their_o prey_n by_o violence_n so_o do_v they_o witness_v their_o holy_a ordinance_n for_o tithe_n witness_v their_o take_n by_o violence_n from_o those_o to_o who_o they_o may_v better_o give_v witness_v their_o greedy_a desire_n to_o devour_v with_o open_a mouth_n the_o lamb_n of_o jesus_n christ_n will_v the_o parliament_n once_o grant_v their_o unsatiable_a desire_n witness_v their_o petition_n to_o the_o parliament_n to_o have_v they_o burn_v with_o the_o letter_n b._n to_o have_v they_o prosecute_v as_o felon_n for_o their_o life_n this_o be_v the_o good_a will_n of_o the_o priest_n to_o the_o poor_a lamb_n of_o jesus_n christ_n but_o when_o their_o lion_n the_o lord_n jesus_n shall_v roar_v out_o of_o zion_n all_o the_o beast_n of_o the_o forest_n

saint_n and_o why_o because_o the_o saint_n discover_v truth_n will_v destroy_v their_o error_n and_o falsehood_n we_o desire_v not_o the_o magistrate_n to_o destroy_v they_o but_o liberty_n to_o profess_v and_o practise_v truth_n before_o which_o they_o be_v not_o able_a to_o stand_v no_o more_o than_o a_o morning_n dew_n before_o the_o sun_n 6._o the_o priest_n under_o the_o law_n they_o

that_o be_v master_n although_o there_o be_v no_o master_n in_o a_o town_n beside_o yet_o this_o priest_n must_v be_v a_o master_n this_o be_v one_o of_o solomon_n evil_n that_o he_o have_v see_v under_o the_o sun_n servant_n on_o horse_n back_o and_o master_n walk_v on_o foot_n as_o servant_n on_o the_o ground_n they_o be_v the_o people_n servant_n they_o expect_v their_o wage_n from_o they_o oh_o horrid_a pride_n be_v ever_o such_o a_o thing_n as_o this_o hear_v of_o what_o servant_n become_v their_o master_n master_n servant_n on_o horseback_n ride_v roll_a and_o their_o master_n on_o

apostle_n so_o do_v our_o priestly_a scribe_n and_o pharisee_n hypocrite_n pretend_v to_o have_v high_a thought_n of_o christ_n and_o his_o apostle_n but_o be_v as_o ready_a to_o persecute_v and_o kill_v the_o disciple_n and_o follower_n of_o christ_n as_o ever_o the_o priest_n of_o old_a they_o build_v their_o tomb_n and_o garnish_v they_o they_o spend_v all_o their_o time_n and_o study_v to_o find_v out_o the_o mind_n of_o christ_n and_o his_o disciple_n in_o their_o writing_n and_o yet_o come_v infinite_o short_a of_o it_o christ_n a_o carpenter_n paul_n a_o tentmaker_n peter_n a_o

again_o they_o shall_v find_v as_o hard_a measure_n from_o they_o as_o ever_o from_o the_o priest_n of_o old_a what_o do_v these_o but_o justify_v the_o proceed_n of_o all_o persecutor_n that_o have_v go_v before_o they_o and_o so_o bring_v upon_o themselves_o all_o the_o righteous_a bloodshed_n even_o from_o the_o blood_n of_o abel_n until_o this_o time_n 8._o and_o final_o the_o end_n of_o all_o be_v that_o they_o may_v hold_v up_o their_o religion_n and_o in_o that_o their_o honour_n and_o profit_n they_o know_v if_o they_o shall_v let_v christ_n alone_o he_o will_v destroy_v their_o religion_n and_o so_o lie_v they_o open_v unto_o contempt_n this_o be_v likewise_o the_o ground_n of_o our_o priest_n oppose_v and_o persecute_v the_o saint_n to_o uphold_v their_o national_a church_n religion_n worship_n etc._n etc._n and_o therein_o their_o honour_n viz._n the_o cap_n and_o knee_n of_o the_o vulgar_a their_o profit_n tithe_n their_o great_a diana_n this_o they_o can_v do_v but_o by_o the_o exaltation_n of_o their_o humanity_n art_n and_o part_n get_v by_o their_o industry_n at_o the_o university_n and_o this_o be_v their_o great_a goddess_n diana_n by_o which_o they_o uphold_v all_o and_o hope_v to_o keep_v in_o their_o credit_n with_o the_o ignorant_a still_o but_o this_o diana_n learning_n in_o the_o thing_n of_o god_n will_v fall_v and_o break_v its_o neck_n ere_o long_o as_o dagon_n before_o the_o ark_n it_o begin_v to_o tremble_v already_o it_o dare_v not_o look_v truth_n in_o the_o face_n without_o the_o power_n of_o parliament_n to_o assist_v etc._n etc._n second_o parallel_n between_o they_o and_o simon_n the_o sorcerer_n act_n 8._o simon_n magus_n his_o sin_n be_v look_v upon_o by_o those_o who_o know_v not_o what_o it_o be_v as_o very_o horrid_a and_o wicked_a and_o it_o be_v true_a peter_n say_v that_o he_o declare_v himself_o by_o it_o to_o be_v in_o the_o gall_n of_o bitterness_n and_o bond_n of_o iniquity_n the_o priest_n give_v a_o very_a high_a and_o learned_a interpretation_n of_o it_o that_o be_v to_o buy_v a_o parsonage_n and_o this_o they_o call_v simony_n who_o so_o buy_v a_o personage_n as_o simon_n magus_n but_o i_o believe_v if_o we_o come_v to_o examine_v what_o be_v simon_n sin_n we_o shall_v find_v more_o sir_n simon_n than_o many_o be_v aware_a of_o simon_n sin_n it_o be_v first_o to_o buy_v the_o gift_n of_o the_o holy_a spirit_n 2._o as_o it_o be_v general_o understand_v to_o that_o end_n he_o may_v sell_v they_o again_o and_o its_o likely_a to_o be_v true_a for_o it_o will_v have_v get_v he_o much_o credit_n as_o well_o as_o profit_v he_o shall_v have_v make_v a_o good_a exchange_n for_o the_o loss_n of_o the_o spirit_n and_o power_n of_o divination_n and_o sorcery_n to_o have_v get_v the_o spirit_n of_o god_n by_o which_o he_o think_v quick_o to_o enrich_v himself_o so_o then_o here_o be_v simon_n sin_n he_o will_v have_v buy_v the_o gift_n of_o the_o spirit_n to_o that_o end_n he_o may_v have_v sell_v they_o that_o so_o he_o may_v enrich_v himself_o by_o it_o see_v then_o how_o the_o priest_n of_o our_o time_n run_v parallel_v with_o he_o i_o argue_v it_o thus_o those_o who_o buy_v their_o gift_n of_o purpose_n to_o sell_v they_o be_v guilty_a of_o simon_n the_o sorcerer_n sin_n but_o the_o priest_n of_o england_n buy_v their_o gift_n of_o purpose_n to_o sell_v they_o and_o get_v gain_v ergo_o the_o priest_n of_o england_n be_v guilty_a of_o simon_n the_o sorcerer_n sin_n that_o this_o be_v simon_n sin_n be_v clear_v that_o who_o so_o do_v the_o like_a be_v guilty_a of_o simon_n sin_n be_v unquestionable_a that_o
