Together with the fruits of the said ministers and ministry. Published for the sake of the simple ones, that they may no longer be deceived; but may come to witnesse the altar, whereof they have no right to eat who serve at the tabernacle, Hebr. 13. 10. / Written forth by Gervase Benson.

nor example in the Scriptures and take Tythes of the People and demand them as theirs by a humane Law made in the will of Man which the Ministers of Christ Jesus never did act any such thing nor sue any man at the law but he that preached the Gospel lived of the Gospel for so hath the Lord ordained Neither did Levi nor his Sons under the first Priesthood act any such thing for that Priesthood was made by a law Exod. 4.13 14. and Exod. 28.1 And had a commandement to take Tythes of the people according to the Law Hebr. 7.5 And no man took this honour to himself but he that was called of God as Aaron was Hebrewes 5.4 And those that did not bring their Tythes to the Store-house robbed God Malach. 3.8 10. and not the Priests neither were the Priests to go to the Magistrate to compell them by a law to pay them Tythes and Treble damages as the Priests now in England do but according to all that the Lord commanded so did they as you may read Levit. 8.36 But these men now in England who are called Ministers of the Gospel and of Christ are neither called of God who never heard his voice as Aaron was and those under the first pristhood who received their Law from God and had a commandement from Him to take Tythes of the People Nor as the Ministers of the Gospel were called who witnessed their call from God not of men neither by man but by Jesus Christ and God the Father who raised him from the dead Gal. 1.1 And the Gospell which was preached by them was not after man neither received they it of man neither was taught it but by Revelation of Jesus Christ And Christ-Jesus is the same yesterday to day and for ever and the Gospell is the same for saith the Apostle Gal. 1. If any preach another Gospell then that which we have preached let him be accursed And the Ministers of Christ are the same and are one who hold one Head who are led and guided by one spirit even the Spirit of Truth which the world cannot receive because it seeth him not neither knoweth him Joh. 14.17 And as many as are led by the Spirit of Christ they are the Ministers of Christ who abide in his Doctrine and do whatsoever he commandeth them But they that have not the Spirit of Christ even the same spirit which was in the Apostles of Christ they are none of his Ministers Rom. 8.9 And they that deny Revelation and affirm and say That all Revelation is ceased are no Ministers of Christ who know not the Father nor the Son For no man knoweth the Father but by the Son and he to whomsoever the Son will reveal him Matth. 11.27 And they who were the Ministers of Christ Jesus witnessed Revelations and delivered and preached to others no other doctrine but what they received of the Lord. Even that which from the begining was which they had heard which they had seen with their Eyes which they had looked upon and their hands had handled of the Word of Life 1 John 1.1 1 Cor. 15.3 which Word of Life those called Ministers in England who deny Revelation who sue men at the law for Tythes and maintenance never heard who are yet in their sins who live in pride covetousnesse and oppression who hold and teach that none can be free from sin nor overcome sin whilest they live here contrary to plain Scriptures Rom. 6.18.22 and 1 John 2.13 14. And so they being servants of sin are free from righteousnesse for it is they that are free from sin that are the Ministers of Christ Rom. 6.18 For he that commits sin is the servant of sin and no man can serve two Masters none can be the Servant of Christ whilest he is the servant of sin John 8.34 For Christ and sin are two contrary Masters and betwixt light and darknesse there is no fellowship 2 Cor. 6.14 For whosoever finneth hath not seen Christ neither known him 1 Joh. 3.6 And how can they be Christ Ministers who neither knew him nor ever saw him For who are Christs Ministers he is their Lord and Master and they do whatsoever he commandeth them Iohn 13.13 And where Christ Jesus is made manifest the works of the Devill are destroyed 1 Iohn 3.8 Now sin is of the Devill 1 Iohn 3.7 8. And the Devill is no Minister of Christ nor none that are of him and he that commits sin is of the devill who was a lyar from the beginning and abode not in the truth because there is no truth in him Iohn 8.44 neither is there truth in them who teach for doctrines the Tradition of men Matth. 15.9 Who hold up a worship and maintenance and the high places devised by man which they received by Tradition from the Pope and his Prelates after the customes of the Nations and not after Christ who make the Commandements of God of none effect by their traditions these are such as the Apostle spoke of 1 Tim. 4.1.2 who give heed to seducing spirits and doctrines of devills speaking lies in hypocrisie having their consciences seared with a hot Iron who run but God never sent them and say Thus saith the Lord when he never spoke to them and therefore it is they have not profited the people at all because they stood not in the counsel of the most High God who are not built upon the foundation of Prophets and Apostles and Ministers of Christ Jesus the Rock of ages but from the foundation of the Prophets Apostles and Disciples of Christ Jesus they are razed and excluded who are unholy for if their Root had been holy the branches would have been holy also Rom. 11.16 but their fruits have made them manifest to have sprung up from the bitter root who have troubled and defiled many Hebr. 12.15 themselves being unclean manifesting their root And therefore all people every where consider what ye are doing that hold up a Generation of men whom you call Ministers of Christ and of the Gospel who be unholy and uncleane who do the Temple of God defile who in the way of Cain do go and after the Errour of Balaam for rewards run greedily These are they that be spots in your feasts of Charity when they feast with you they feed themselves without fear clouds they are without water carried about of winds Trees whose fruit withereth without fruit who are Murmurers and Complainers who can never have enough who say What shall we eat what shall we drink wherewithall shall we be cloathed Matth. 6.25 c. Heathens they are and no Ministers of Christ who after their own ungodly lusts do walk whose mouthes speak great swelling words having men persons in admiration for advantage sensuall they are who have not the same spirit which was in the Apostles and Ministers of Christ as sundry of them have confessed and published in print whose Foundation and Root is now discovered and made

A True Tryall of the Ministers and Ministry of England As also a true Discovery of their Root and Foundation and of the called English Church with its Honours Possessions Tythes and Maintenance Together with the fruits of the said Ministers and Ministry Published for the sake of the simple Ones that they may no longer be deceived but may come to witnesse the Altar whereof they have no right to eat who serve the Tabernacle Hebr. 13.10 Written forth by Gervase Benson The Heathen are sunk down in the pit that they made in the net which they hid is their own foot taken Psal 9.15 His mischief shall return upon his own head and his violent dealing shall come upon his own pate Psal 7.16 FRiends and People Now in your dayes is the Lord who is the Living and Faithfull God fulfilling his Promises and hath fulfilled what he said by Isaias the Prophet Isa 2.9 The people that walked in darkness have seen a great light and they that dwelt in the Land of the shadow of death upon them hath the light shined By which their feet are guided into the way of peace and in which light they see their salvation through the tender mercy of God and the remission of their sins through the knowledge of Him who is the Light of the world and hath enlightened every one that cometh into the world which light is the Saints Teacher and the Worlds Condemnation that hate it Therefore that all of you might come to know the true God whom ye ignorantly worship both Priests and People who contrary to the light do walk and act To the light which Christ Jesus hath enlightened you withall take heed and it love and obey in whatsoever it shall shew unto you That is the light which shewes you darknesse sin and evill and all things that ever you have done brings to remembrance and all your Deeds to the Light bring that with it they may be proved whether or nay they be wrought in God for all things that are reproved are made manifest by the light Ephes 5.13 And that with the light ye may come to see Him who is the way to the Father of Lights with whom is no variablenesse nor shadow of change who is the Truth And there is no coming to the Father but by Him who is the Life who is the beloved Son of God in whom alone he is well pleased who the true Prophet is which God promised he would raise up whom all the people should hear Acts 3.22 23. and every Soul that will not hear this Prophet whom God hath raised up for a light to the Gentiles that he might be his salvation unto the ends of the earth Isa 49.6 shall be destroyed from among the people and salvation they shall never witnesse for there is no other Name under heaven given among men whereby they must be saved neither is there salvation in any other Acts 4.12 but by this Jesus who continueth a Priest for ever over the houshold of God who to himself took not this honour but he that said unto him Thou art my Son this day begat I thee he also saith Thou art a Priest for ever after the order of Melchizedeek who endureth for ever hath an everlasting Priesthood who perfectly saveth them that come to God by him who is holy harmlesse undefiled and separate from sinners who is consecrated for evermore ever liveth to make intercession for the Saints who is become their High Priest of good things to come by a greater and more perfect Tabernacle not made with hands That is to say not of this building who by his own blood entred in once into the holy place having obtained eternall redemption for them whose consciences he hath and doth purge from dead works to serve the living God not in the oldnesse of the letter but in the newnesse of the Spirit Rom. 7.6 Whose hearts are sprinkled from an evil conscience and their bodies washed with pure water And of this Saviour Jesus and this High Preist whom God hath exalted and is exalting with his Right Hand to be a Prince and a Saviour are they witnesses who have believed in the Light who are the Children of the Light who by the Children of Darknesse which hate the light whose words and deeds be evill are in derision called Quakers who witnesse Him in them who is greater then he that is in the world who is entred into the Holiest of all daily making intercession for them And the true Tabernacle made without hands they are witnesses of and the New Covenant and the anointing that teacheth them of all things so that they need not that any man teach them but as the same anointing teacheth them of all things and is true and is no lye And by the Holy Ghost which he hath given them can they truly say That Jesus is the Lord and that in him they are compleat which is the head of all Principality and Power in whom also they are Circumcised with the Circumcifion made without hands in putting off the body of the sins of the flesh by the circumcision of Christ buried with him in Baptisme wherein also they are risen with him through the faith of the operation of God who hath raised him from the dead who is the first and the last Even he that liveth and was dead and behold he liveth for evermore And with the light which from the Lord Jesus Christ doth come they do see and know That other Lords and Priests besides him have had Dominion over them but he that hath wrought and doth work all their works in them the living powerfull God of Life and Light hath made and is making their memory to perish who have brought nothing to perfection who hold up those places wherein the Nations served their gods which the Lord commanded should utterly be destroyed Deut. 12.2 And do allow and practise those things which then 〈◊〉 ha●● disanulled blotted out and nailed to the Crosse the hand-writing of Ordinances imposed untill the time of reformation Of which time and reformation the People of God called Quakers are witnesses in life and power and so also is the Holy Ghost And the time is accomplished wherein the Lord is drawn near to judgment and is become a swift witnesse against the Sorcerers and against the Adulterers and against the Oppressors and against the Hirelings And against the Shepheards that feed themselves with the fat and cloath themselves with the wooll but feed not the flock And against the Scoffers and against all who after their own ungodly lusts walk who are talkers of a reformation but say that the time is not yet come Men of corrupt minds they are being destitute of the Truth supposing that gain is godlinesse who go about to uphold a worldly Sanctuary and make Priests of the lowest of the people which are not the Sons of Levi who set up a worship devised of their own heart for which they have neither precept
