of_o measure_n covetous_a and_o so_o palpable_o out_o of_o the_o doctrine_n of_o christ_n and_o so_o idolater_n see_v the_o apostle_n say_v covetousness_n be_v idolatry_n ephes._n 5._o 5._o 5._o whether_o do_v ever_o any_o minister_n of_o christ_n send_v preach_v up_o the_o ten_o of_o peoples_n of_o labour_n or_o increase_v of_o the_o earth_n and_o earthly_a thing_n as_o a_o stand_a

conclusion_n follow_v may_v be_v gather_v viz._n 1._o the_o true_a prophet_n messenger_n or_o teacher_n be_v send_v of_o god_n as_o before_o in_o the_o power_n and_o spirit_n of_o god_n with_o the_o live_a word_n of_o god_n which_o be_v as_o a_o hammer_n and_o a_o fire_n to_o break_v the_o hard_a heart_n in_o sunder_o and_o to_o burn_v up_o the_o chaff_n and_o dros_n in_o the_o mind_n of_o disobedient_a people_n who_o know_v god_n will_n but_o do_v it_o not_o but_o hold_v the_o truth_n in_o unrighteousness_n the_o false_a prophet_n or_o teacher_n he_o run_v in_o his_o own_o will_n &_o have_v steal_v the_o word_n from_o his_o neighbour_n use_v his_o tongue_n to_o say_v the_o lord_n say_v when_o the_o lord_n never_o send_v he_o &_o so_o with_o good_a word_n &_o fair_a speech_n deceive_v the_o heart_n of_o the_o unwary_a hearer_n make_v glad_a the_o heart_n of_o hypocrite_n &_o cry_v peace_n when_o the_o lord_n have_v not_o speak_v it_o 2._o the_o true_a prophet_n teacher_n or_o minister_n as_o he_o have_v receive_v free_o so_o he_o minister_v free_o but_o the_o false_a teacher_n as_o he_o run_v in_o his_o own_o will_n so_o he_o minister_v for_o a_o self-end_a and_o if_o people_n put_v into_o his_o month_n he_o cry_v peace_n but_o if_o otherwise_o he_o prepare_v war_n against_o they_o &_o out_o of_o his_o corrupt_a heart_n cry_v give_v &_o can_v never_o have_v enough_o 3._o the_o true_a minister_n have_v a_o mouth_n always_o open_a for_o god_n and_o against_o sin_n and_o evil_n in_o every_o appearance_n of_o it_o without_o respect_n of_o person_n and_o like_o a_o true_a watcher_n give_v notice_n of_o the_o wolf_n approach_n and_o do_v not_o flee_v when_o the_o wolf_n come_v but_o oppose_v he_o in_o the_o loss_n of_o all_o because_o christ_n sheep_n be_v dear_a to_o he_o but_o the_o hireling_n flee_v because_o he_o be_v a_o hireling_n and_o care_v not_o for_o the_o sheep_n and_o as_o concern_v sin_n it_o may_v live_v in_o people_n forever_o for_o he_o for_o he_o can_v bark_v against_o sin_n he_o be_v so_o full_a of_o it_o himself_o for_o how_o can_v he_o that_o be_v a_o unclean_a covetous_a proud_a person_n himself_o with_o a_o face_n stand_v against_o such_o sin_n in_o other_o nay_o nay_o the_o bark_n of_o such_o must_v needs_o be_v against_o such_o as_o do_v from_o the_o heart_n depart_v from_o iniquity_n and_o so_o separate_v from_o such_o as_o live_v in_o it_o according_a to_o the_o call_v of_o the_o lord_n 4._o the_o true_a prophet_n minister_n or_o teacher_n fight_v the_o good_a fight_n of_o faith_n and_o his_o weapon_n be_v spiritual_a and_o not_o carnal_a and_o so_o he_o fight_v not_o with_o flesh_n and_o blood_n to_o destroy_v man_n person_n liberty_n or_o estate_n but_o his_o war_n be_v with_o the_o wicked_a devil_n the_o power_n of_o darkness_n in_o man_n that_o separate_v man_n mind_n heart_n and_o soul_n from_o god_n and_o bring_v they_o into_o sin_n be_v captivity_n and_o so_o under_o god_n wrath_n and_o so_o the_o true_a minister_n work_n be_v to_o preach_v people_n out_o of_o that_o woeful_a condition_n into_o the_o liberty_n of_o the_o son_n of_o god_n but_o the_o false_a teacher_n or_o minister_n hi●_n weapon_n be_v carnal_a and_o he_o run_v to_o the_o worldly_a power_n to_o help_v he_o against_o such_o as_o oppose_v his_o evil_a doctrine_n and_o practice_n cry_v man_n of_o england_n etc._n etc._n help_n as_o the_o jew_n cry_v out_o against_o paul_n man_n of_o israel_n help_n and_o so_o matter_n not_o though_o they_o weary_v the_o magistrate_n and_o set_v all_o the_o world_n in_o a_o uproar_v to_o keep_v themselves_o up_o in_o their_o high_a place_n of_o deceit_n and_o so_o prove_v the_o great_a enemy_n against_o god_n truth_n and_o his_o servant_n of_o all_o other_o as_o be_v abundant_o to_o be_v see_v in_o scripture_n concern_v the_o priest_n and_o their_o confederate_n who_o persecute_v christ_n to_o death_n and_o rage_v against_o his_o follower_n because_o of_o their_o holy_a testimony_n for_o god_n against_o their_o soul-destroying_a way_n 5._o the_o true_a messenger_n and_o minister_n of_o jesus_n christ_n as_o they_o be_v powerful_o send_v of_o god_n so_o they_o work_v effectual_o for_o god_n for_o the_o edify_n of_o the_o body_n of_o christ_n and_o perfect_v of_o his_o people_n in_o holiness_n to_o god_n but_o the_o false_a teacher_n as_o he_o have_v run_v without_o god_n so_o his_o work_n be_v for_o strengthen_v that_o part_n in_o man_n to_o wit_n the_o serpent_n wisdom_n which_o be_v against_o god_n and_o war_n against_o the_o simplicity_n of_o christ_n and_o good_a of_o the_o soul_n in_o all_o and_o so_o they_o be_v themselves_o out_o of_o that_o heavenly_a power_n which_o perfect_v the_o soul_n to_o god_n and_o give_v it_o perfect_a victory_n over_o all_o sin_n they_o cry_v no_o perfection_n here_o no_o perfect_a victory_n over_o sin_n on_o this_o side_n the_o grave_a and_o so_o they_o lead_v about_o a_o people_n lade_v with_o sin_n and_o lust_n filly_n as_o woman_n in_o the_o transgression_n ever_o learning_n and_o never_o able_a by_o their_o mean_n to_o come_v to_o the_o knowledge_n of_o the_o truth_n itself_o which_o set_v the_o soul_n free_a from_o all_o sin_n for_o how_o shall_v people_n ever_o come_v to_o the_o knowledge_n of_o the_o truth_n by_o follow_v such_o teacher_n as_o be_v out_o of_o the_o truth_n for_o if_o the_o blind_a lead_n the_o blind_a must_v they_o not_o both_o fall_n into_o the_o ditch_n also_o see_v you_o profess_v the_o scripture_n and_o not_o unwritten_a tradition_n to_o be_v your_o rule_n and_o will_v have_v people_n to_o believe_v that_o what_o you_o do_v be_v according_a to_o scripture_n therefore_o it_o be_v demand_v in_o a_o few_o word_n further_o 1._o what_o scripture_n have_v you_o for_o your_o sprinkle_v of_o infant_n and_o sign_v they_o with_o the_o sign_n of_o the_o cross_n and_o tell_v people_n that_o thereby_o they_o be_v make_v member_n of_o christ_n child_n of_o god_n and_o inheritor_n of_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n when_o in_o your_o own_o catechism_n in_o contradiction_n to_o your_o practice_n you_o teach_v that_o child_n by_o reason_n of_o their_o infancy_n or_o tender_a year_n than_o can_v perform_v the_o request_n of_o baptism_n to_o wit_n faith_n and_o repentance_n 2._o and_o what_o scripture_n have_v you_o for_o your_o surety_n so_o call_v which_o you_o most_o unscriptural_o call_v the_o child_n godfather_n and_o godmother_n which_o you_o pretend_v to_o make_v up_o the_o defect_n in_o the_o infant_n by_o and_o for_o put_v these_o pretend_a surety_n upon_o such_o bold_a undertake_n and_o unadvised_a promising_n of_o that_o for_o the_o child_n which_o they_o never_o yet_o do_v for_o themselves_o nor_o indeed_o have_v faith_n to_o believe_v that_o so_o great_a work_n can_v be_v do_v in_o any_o upon_o earth_n to_o wit_n to_o forsake_v the_o devil_n and_o all_o his_o work_n etc._n etc._n see_v that_o such_o general_o hold_v that_o none_o can_v live_v without_o sin_n be_v not_o sin_n the_o devil_n work_n yea_o yea_o and_o be_v there_o any_o undertaker_n for_o man_n to_o god-ward_o but_o christ_n and_o be_v there_o ever_o any_o surety_n betwixt_o god_n and_o man_n but_o
