Elders says unto them Feed the Flock of God which is among you taking the oversight thereof not by constraint but willingly not for filthy Lucre but of a ready mind neither as being Lords ever Gods Heritage but being ensamples to the Flock 1 Pet. 5.1 2 3. By all which recited Passages it is plainly manifest that the Apostles had a great eate not to be burdensome to any and that the Gospel of Christ might be preserved without Charge they were so far from compelling or forcing a Maintenance from such as did not own nor receive them that they forbore to make use of that Power which Christ allowed them even among such as did receive them It seems the Apostle Paul wrought with his Hands when he had an oportunity and exhorted the Brethren to be followers of him and mark them that walk so as they had them for an ensample Phil. 3.17 and there is small question but the rest of the Apostles were like-minded with him We see that Peter is so far from allowing the Elders to act by Constraint or to insist upon great Wages and Revenues for their Service that he quite opposes it in these words Not by Constraint not for filthy Lucre observe the Epithite that he bestowes upon Lucre nothing less then Filthy It seems he look't upon it as a filthy thing for such as were to Feed and Nourish the Flock of God and to take the oversight thereof that their Hearts and Minds should be so bent upon worldly Preferments and exercised in covetous Practices as to do what they did for filthy Lucre sake therefore he doth with much sharpness enlarge upon that matter in his second Chapter of his second Epistle as may be there seen at large Thus as it was the way of the Ministers and Servants of Christ in the primitive times to act according to the Precepts and Directions of our blessed Lord and to advise and exhort others thereunto and also to bear ' Testimony against such as tranfgress upon these accounts so also it highly concerns all those who pretend to be Ministers of Christ in this our day to search and try their ways and in the Light of Christ seriously to weigh and examine the matter whether they be truly called qualified and acted by the Spirit of Christ yea or nay if they be no question but they will manifest the same in Humility Meekness Self-denial Christian-forbearance Charity and Doctrine as also in acting according to the Directions of Christ and Practice of his People But on the contrary if any under that pretence be found in a Proud Lordly Covetous and Persecuting Spirit walking in the steps of those whom the true Prophets and Servants of Christ have always testified against it greatly behoves all People to beware of them according to the directions of our blessed Lord Mat. 7.15 16. Beware of false Prophets which come to you in Sheeps clothing but inwardly they are â—â—â—â—ning Wolves ye shall know them by their â—â—uits Forasmuch as they have a shew of Christianity and so thereby are clothed with Sheeps clothing but being inwardly departed from the pure holy meek and peaceable Spirit of the Lord Jesus Christ they endeavour to Persecute Tear and Devour them that are not willing to Feed and Relieve them and so therein they are ravening Wolves I do not hereby place any particular charge upon any but leave every one to see and know by their Fruits desiring that all those who are under those Circumstances and Qualities may come to Repentance and amendment of Life whilst the day of their Visitation lasteth otherwise all their pretences to Christianity or the ministerial Function will not rescue them in that day when the Righteous Judge of Heaven and Earth doth recompence every one according to their Deeds Section XI Concerning PRAYER THat now which yet further remains to be considered is those other Duties and Services which are to be done and performed by true Believers either in private or in their publick Assemblies and upon this account shall mention that of Prayer which is very necessary for the People of God to be found in the practice of being a duty incumbent upon us and frequently commanded and exhorted unto in the holy Scriptures and as it is necessary for all those who are concerned in the Church of Christ in publick Testimonies and Declarations to be supplied and assisted in those Services by the Grace and Spirit of Christ even so also it is by the help and influence of the same Spirit that the People of God are enabled to pray acceptably unto him and without the help thereof in some degree or other true Prayer cannot be performed That the Spirit of Christ is absolutely necessary upon this account is clear even from the words of Christ Without me ye can do nothing Also the Apostle Paul saith The Spirit also helpeth our Infirmities for we know not what me should pray for as we ought but the Spirit it self maketh Intercession for us with Sighs Groans that cannot be uttered and he that searcheth the Hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit because be maketh Intercession for the Saints according to the will of God Rom. 8.26 27. Again Praying always with all Prayer and Supplication in the Spirit and watching thereunto with all perseverance and Supplication for all Saints Ephes 6.18 And also in his Epistle to the Corinthians I will pray with the Spirit and with the Vnderstanding also 1 Cor. 14.15 From whence several things are observable First That Gods People can do nothing that 's acceptable unto him without Christ and the help of his Spirit Secondly That of themselves they know not what to pray for as they ought Thirdly That it is the Spirit which helpeth such Infirmities and maketh Intercession unto God for his People Fourthly The way and manner of the Spirits Intercession with Sighs and Groans that cannot be uttered Fifthly That God graciously receives the Prayers of such as are offered and presented unto him by the Spirit forasmuch as Intercession is thereby made for them according to the will of God. Sixthly The Apostle being sensible of the acceptance and prevalency of such Prayers doth exhort the Ephesians to pray always with all Prayer and Supplication in the Spirit and to watch thereunto withall Perseverance Seventhly He gives an account how he himself will pray saying I will pray with the Spirit and with the Vnderstanding also Thus then as the Prayers of such who wait for and receive Divine Assistance do obtain Divine Acceptance so on the contrary the Prayers of wicked and ungodly men who receive not nor expect any such spiritual help but are acted by the Spirit of Error and Vanity can no way be acceptable unto God nor beneficial to themselves The Scriptures do afford us divers Testimonies to this purpose David says If I regard Iniquity in my Heart the Lord will not hear me Psal 66.18 Solomon says The Sacrifice of the Wicked
of the legal forms of Worship Sacrifice and Oblations which were by Gods appointment yet because their Hearts were defiled and polluted with Sin and Iniquity and that they presented not their Offerings and Sacrifices in a right frame of Spirit nor under that disposition of Soul that was required therefore they incurred the wrath and displeasure of God against themselves and with great aggravation he declared against them and terribly renounced their Worship as appears in Isa 1. and 66.3 Amos 5.21 22 23. If it was so then that the Jews under that Dispensation displeased the Lord in appearing before him with Offerings and Sacrifices whilst their Hearts were polluted and unprepared as aforesaid it may be a caution unto all those that make profession of the pure and undefiled Religion of our Lord Jesus Christ and of that Worship which was instituted by him that they be not found attempting the performance thereof in a spiriritual unpreparedness and whilst their Hearts and Souls are polluted with Sin and Iniquity lest it be said unto them as it was unto the Jews Who hath required this at your Hands to tread my Courts Isa 1.12 Again if the Jewish Sacrifices in the time of the Law were Sprinkled before they were offered and the People were Consecrated that offered them before they presented themselves before the Lord and that the touching of a dead or nuclear Beas then made People unfit for the Temple or Sacrifice yea society with the Clean until they were first Sprinkled and Sanctified as the Scriptures hold out Numb 8. and chap. 19 2 Chron. 29.36 and 30. 16 17. How car any think so meanly of the worship instituted by Christ in Gospel times as that it should admit of unprepared and unsanctified Offerings or allow that those who are spiritually defiled with Sin and Iniquity and in Words or Deeds do daily touch that which is unclean can in that state well and acceptably worship the pure God until their Consciences be sprinkled from dead works by the blood of Jesus and that they be inwardly prepared and consecrated by his divine Spirit and Power in order to serve him It is also observable that when the Temple at Jerusalem was built before the glory of the Lord descended to fill the same it was purified and cleansed and all polluted stuff removed out of it yea and the place for the Tabernacle was overlaid with Gold the most pretious clean and purest of Mettals 1 Kings 6 7 8 chapters So also before God be truly worshipped in the inward Temple of the Heart it must also be purged of the filth and pollutions that are therein that so it may be fit to receive the Spirit of God so as to be acted by it And yet further let it be considered how it can be available to the High and Lofty in Mind and Spirit the Rich and Full in the Pomp and Grandure of the World the Proud Covetous and Self-conceited and such as go on in a road of Unrighteousness Ungodliness and Vanity to utter a multitude of unseasoned Words before the Almighty God or to cry Lord Lord whilst they have neither received nor are subject unto that Blessed Spirit which has right to call him so 1 Cor. 12.3 Or how any can rationally suppose that he who is clothed with divine Honour and Majesty who covers himself with Light as with a Garment who stretches forth the Heavens like a Curtain and walks upon the Wings of the Wind who maketh his Angels Spirits and his Ministers a flame of Fire and is of purer Eyes then to behold Iniquity can be truly and acceptably Served and Worshipped by such as do not only resist and rebel against that which brings into acceptance with God but also remain and delight in that which is an abomination unto him Section III. Concerning the necessity of receiving the Light Grace and Spirit of Christ in order to quicken and renew to God and so to prepare and qualifie People for his Worship and Service SInce then it appears that the Worship instituted by Christ is spiritual and that no man in his natural and unconverted state is capable of performing the same acceptably we may conclude and that upon sure grounds that the preparation of the holy Spirit is that which is absolutely necessary for men to know in the first place before they go about to perform their Devotions before the Lord Such as desire to worship God acceptably must believe in him whom God hath sent to redeem lost man unto him self viz. the Lord Jesus Christ who by his Light Grace and Spirit doth manifest Sir and Evil in the Hearts and Souls of People and reproveth for the same and also lead them that truly own and receive him unto Repentance and converteth them unto God he by his Power revealed in man doth Crucifie the Flesh with the Affections and Lusts he cleanses from Sin and Iniquity and quickens the Soul unto God raising up the same unto newness of Life so that those who in their natural and unconverted state have been Aliens unto God and Strangers to the Covenant of Promise through Faith in Christ and the work of his Grace and Spirit in their Hearts such come to be delivered from the Power of Darkness and translated into the Kingdom of Gods dear and wel-beloved Son to be made Heirs of Glory Fellow-Citizens with the Saints of the Houshold of God Col. 1.13 Ephes 2.19 and so are rendered capable of Worshipping and Serving God acceptably according to divine institution Being born again as the Apostle said not of corruptible Seed but of incorruptible by the Word of God which liveth and abideth forever 1 Pet. 1.23 As to the quickening and renewing Vertue of this divine Spirit and Light of Christ the Saints and Children of God have not only a living and blessed Experience thereof in this our day but also the Scriptures do afford us divers Testimonies concerning the same Jesus saith As the Father raiseth up the Dead and quickeneth them even so the Son quickeneth whom he will John 5.21 Again It is the Spirit that quickeneth the Flesh profiteth nothing John 6.63 And also the Apostle Paul in his Epistle to the Romans saith If any man have not the Spirit of Christ he is none of his and if Christ he in you the Body is Dead because of Sin but the Spirit is Life because of Righteousness but if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the Dead dwell in you he that raised up Christ from the Dead shall also quicken your mortal Bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you therefore Brethren we are Debtors not to the Flesh to live after the Flesh for if ye live after the Flesh ye shall Dye but if ye through the Spirit do mortifie the deeds of the Body ye shall Live for as many as are led by the Spirit of God they are the Sons of God Rom. 8.9 10 11 12 13 14. And again the same Apostle in his Epistle
and Service of God doth not thus only appear to be agreeable to Scripture Testimony but also is answerable even to Reason natural Experience in other things for he that would learn of a Master any Art or Science ought not to fall on speaking or acting immediately of his own Mind and Will so continue unquiet but rather should be silent for a season to hear his Master instruct him what and how he shall door say and then proceed So also he that undertakes to serve a Master should not run hastily on to do things in his own Time and Will nor yet to deaffen his Master with Discourse though it were in Praises of him but he ought rather to wait to hear his Master speak and inform him what and how to do and then proceed to act according to his Directions Even so those that desire to be taught of God and instructed by him in Righteousness ought not to keep themselves continually busied with their own Imaginations and Inventions but patiently to wait upon God that so he by his Grace and Spirit may Teach and Instruct them and also those that desire to serve God in this Gospel day ought not to run hastily about the same in their own corrupt forward and unrenewed Wills and Minds but diligently to attend upon God to feel the Strength and Counsel of his Spirit in such undertakings Section VI. Concerning the Preparation Call and Ordination of Gospel Ministers AS it is the duty of every Christian to wait upon God for the help and strength of his holy Spirit in order to sit prepare qualifie them for the Worship Service of God so it is by the Power and Vertue of the Divine Spirit that every true Evangelist and Gospel Minister is ordained prepared and supplied in the work of the Ministry otherwise he cannot be truly said to be a Minster of the Spirit for as none could be Ministers of the Letter who had thence no ground of their Call nor directions therefrom how when nor after what manner they should Minister neither can any be reall Ministers of the Spirit who are not called ordained fitted and prepared by it nor are acquainted with the motions and directions thereof in order to draw move act influence assist and go before them in the Work and Service of the Gospel As for the Service of the Jews under the Dispensation of the Law there was a certain Tribe allotted for the Ministry which was the Tribe of Levi so that then People needed not to question who should be Priests and Ministers of holy things for that the Lord God by his Servant Moses did set apart divers of the aforesaid Tribe for the Priestood and other Offices as also he did direct how and after what manner their Worship and Service was to be performed as may be seen at large in the writings of Moses And besides that it pleased God at divers times under that Dispensation by the immediate Testimony of his holy Spirit to raise up several Persons to Teach Instruct and Reprove the People as Samuel Nathan Elias Elisha Jeremiah Amos and others of the Prophets but now under the new Covenant and Dispensation of the Gospel there is no such Tribe of People allotted set a part particularly for the Ministry as was under the Law neither is the Worship and Service of Christians Celebrated after the manner of the Jews in divers respects nor is it attended with those outward Ceremonies and shadowing Performances as was that of the Jews for the Christian Worship Service is performed in Spirit in Truth as hath been before and still yet may be further observed and therein it greatly Excelleth and far Transcended that under the Law being under the administration of Life and Glory wherein the Lord Jesus Christ is alone exalted as high Priest and Prophet of his People who being the Lord of true Divinity doth spiritually Call Ordain Constitute and Qualifie the Ministers of the new Testament and Instruct them in the Spiritual Law which is the delight of Gods People That the Apostles and Servants of Christ in the Primitive times were called and qualified by the Divine Spirit to and for the Work of the Ministry is so plain and clear that none need question it unless it be such who at this day would assume and arrogate unto themselves the name and title of Gospel Ministers by Virtue of some outward Ordination without the call help and influence of the holy Spirit unto such I say it greatly behoves them to consider how and when the Lord Jesus Christ did transfer that power unto man which is only peculiar unto himself I know that those who despise the motion and diclares of the Grace of God in themselves and yet would be esteemed Ministers are apt to deny that the Power and Influence of the holy Spirit is of absolute necessity for the Call and Qualification of a Gospel Minister and therefore do wholly betake themselves to an outward Ordination for a refuge otherwise such would have nothing to stand upon in that respect for what they pretend to 'T is certain and always granted that those whom God is pleased to Call and Qualifie by his Grace and Spirit to and for the Work and Service of the Gospel are to be owned and approved of by his Church and People but then it does not therefore follow that any who have only attained unto some degree of humane Learning Knowledg in Arts Sciences can be thereby fitted for the Gospel Ministry or that such Person under those Circumstances can be rightly qualified for that Work Service by the Power of man without the call help influence and assistance of the blessed and holy Spirit and Power of our Lord Jesus Christ wherein the true power of Ordination stands and not in men as men but in the Spirit of Christ which ought to have the supream Government in the hearts of men and those who are truly called ordained and qualified by the divine Spirit for the Work and Service of the Gospel are accepted of God and approved of by his Church and People as the Apostle said He that in these things serveth Christ is acceptable to God and approved of Men Rom. 14.18 Also we read that the Apostle Paul when he took his leave of the Elders of the Church of Ephesus he thus expressed himself Take heed therefore unto your selves and to all the Flock over which the holy Ghost hath made you Overseers to feed the Church of God which he hath purchased with his own Blood Acts 20.28 And again the holy Ghost said unto the Prophets Teachers which were in the Church at Antioch Seperate me Barnabas and Saul for the Work whereunto I have called them and when they had Fasted and Prayed and laid their hands on them they sent them away so it s said they being sent forth by the holy Ghost departed unto Soleucia and from thence they sailed to Cyprus and
when they were at Salamis they Preached the Word of God in the Synagogues of the Jews Acts 13.1 2 3 4 5. From whence its observable First That the Elders of the Church at Ephesus were made Overseers there by the Holy Ghost Secondly That it was the Holy Ghost that called Barnabas and Saul unto the Work and Service of the Gospel and that it was the Holy Ghost that sent them By which it appears that the power of Calling and Ordaining Gospel Ministers resides in the Holy Spirit and that those who are Called and Ordained thereby are approved by the Church being set apart by God for the Service they are called unto which thing doth very well agree with the saying of the Apostle Paul to the Church at Corinth God hath set some in the Church first Apostles secondarily Prophets Teachers c. 1 Cor. 12.28 And likewise to the Ephesians he faith When he ascended up on high he led Captivity Captive and gave gifts unto Men and he gave some Apostles and some Prophets some Evangelists and some Pastours and Teachers for the perfecting of the Saints for the work of the Ministry for the edifying of the Body of Christ Ephes 4.8 11 12. By which it also appears that it was not Man but God that set Apostles Prophets and Teachers in the Church and that it was through the gift of God that they were made Apostles Prophets Evangelists Pastours and Teachers and thereby were they rendered capable of perfecting the Saints of the work of the Ministry and of edifying the Body of Christ Furthermore it is observable that when the Apostle Paul was giving an account before King Agrippa how the Lord met with him in his way to Damascus he says that Jesus told him For that purpose he appeared unto him to make him a Minister and a Witness both of those things which he had seen and of those things he would appear unto him in Acts 26.16 And also the same Apostle in his Epistle to the Galatians says When it pleased God who seperâ—â—â—d me from my Mothers Womb and called me by his Grace to reveal his Son in me that I might preach him among the Heathen immediatly I conferred not with Flesh and Blood neither went I up to Jerusalem to them that were Apostles before me but I went into Arabia and returned again unto Damascus Gal. 1.15 16 17. And again in his Epistle to Timothy he says I thank Jesus Christ our Lord who hath enabled me for that he counted me faithful putting me into the Ministry 1 Tim. 1.12 All which doth yet further set forth that it was the Lord Jesus Christ that made Paul a Minister and that it was by his Grace Spirit and Power that he was enabled and put into the Ministry neither does it appear that he went up to Jerusalem at that time to be ordain'd by them who were Apostles before him but he went into Arabia and returned again unto Damascus as is before set forth Objection It s probable some may object and say That though the Apostles and Ministers of Christ in the primitive times were immediately called to that Work and Service by the Spirit of God yet it was for an extraordinary Work and if any now do pretend to an immediate call they ought to confirm it by Miracles Answ Unto which I Answer That although it was an extraordinary Work which they were sent to do yet the degree does not change the kind They were to preach Christ Crucified and risen again and were to preach Repentance and remission of Sins through his Name They were to turn People from Darkness to Light and from the Power of Satan unto God that so they might receive forgiveness of Sins and an Inheritance among them which were Sanctified by Faith in Christ Acts 26.18 Even so are the Ministers of Christ in this our day to hold out the same Doctrine according to the Dispensation of the Gospel committed unto them nor is there any necessity for Miracles to be wrought by those who are called of God in this our day to the Work of the Ministry for the confirmation of their Testimony when as they preach no new Gospel but what was preacht by the Servants of Christ in the primitive times and is already confirmed by the Miracles of Christ and of his Apostles and when nothing is offered but what is answerable to Truth and agreeable to the Testimony of the Scriptures and besides that we do not find that either John the Baptist or several others of the Prophets did any Miracles and yet they were both Immediatly Extraordinarily sent Section VII Concerning Women Preaching AS this Divine Spirit hath been and is extended universally unto all People at certain times and seasons during the day of their Visitation according to the Good-will and Pleasure of our God and that in order to call gather and renew them unto himself so it hath been the good Pleasure of our God to call and qualifie whom he thinks convenient for the Work and Service of the Gospel and upon this account it may please him sometimes to make use of Women as well as Men according to his Promise by the Prophet Joel And it shall come to pass afterward that I will pour out my Spirit upon all Flesh and your Sons and your Daughters shall Prophesie your old Men shall dream Dreams your young Men shall see Visions and also upon the Servants and upon the Hand Maids in those dayes will I pour out my Spirit This Prophesie had a respect to the Gospel Day and related to the more plentiful effusion of the Holy Spirit under that Dispensation both upon Male and Female as was witnessed at the day of Penticost When the Apostles with the Women and Mary the Mother of Jesus with his Brethren were gathered together it s said They were all filled with the Holy Ghost and began to speak with other Tongues as the Spirit gave them utterance Acts 1.13 14. and 2.4 And if All were filled with the Holy Ghost and Spoke then Women as well as Men forasmuch as Women were there present with the Men as the Text holds out Object Now so it is that many are enclined to object against Women Speaking or Preaching and upon that account do alledge the words of the Apostle Paul 1 Cor. 14.34 35. 1 Tim. 2.11 12. Answ In answer whereunto I say that although these Texts may be mystically understood as some have observed yet if we take them literally and withal consider the scope and tendency of the Apostles Words both before and after and compare other Expressions of his with those which will be one way to give satisfaction concerning his meaning and also observe the Practice of the Church upon those accounts it will appear that Women as Women or of that Sex and for no other reason are not prohibited to Preach It s observable that the Apostle Paul in that Chapter 1 Cor. 14. was not treating who or what Sex
Name by which they have known Salvation As for artificial Musick although it was practized in the Jewish Church yet we do neither find any Precept or President for it in the writings of the new Testament We read that David had Singers and appointed men to make use of Musical Instruments yea sometimes made use thereof himself yet we have cause to believe that what he appointed to be done upon these accounts was not intended by him for gratifying vain foolish and wanton Minds but the more to influence and affect the People at that time with that Worship and Service of God and to sing Praises to his holy Name therefore says he Awake up my Glory awake Psaltery and Harp I my self will awake early I will praise thee O Lord among the People I will sing unto thee among the Nations Psal 57.8 9. Again Make a joyful noise unto God all ye Lands sing forth the honour of his Name make his Praise Glorious Psal 66.1 2. But then although David's intent might be good in making use of those Musical Instruments at that time yet we read that when Israel was departed from the Lord and the Counsel of his Spirit and made use of those things in a Formal and Customary way the Lord declared against them saying Take thou away from me the noise of thy Songs for I will not hear the melody of thy Viols Amos 5.23 And again Wo to them that are at ease in Sion and trust in the Mountain of Samaria That Chant to the sound of the Viol and invent to themselves Instruments of Musick like David That drink Wine in Bowles and anoint themselves with the chiefest Oyntments but they are not grieved for the Afflictions of Joseph Amos 6.1 5 6. From whence it is manifest That it was then so far from being acceptable unto God for Vain Wicked and Sinful men to Chant to the sound of the Viol and to invent unto themselves Instruments of Musick like David that the Lord declares he will not hear their melody and also pronounces a Wo against them that are in the practice of such things and inasmuch as it was so then that the Lord was pleased to declare and testifie against the Songs and Melody of the Jews under that Dispensation it certainly behoves those who are called Christians seriously to consider what ground there is in true Christianity for the use of artificial Musick upon any account whatsoever and especially in the performance of their Devotions to God Almighty for as hath been before observ'd we do no where find that either Christ or his Apostles did at any time either command or recommend any such thing to be used among Christians not does it in the least appear that the practice thereof is any way consistant with the Purity and Spirituality of that Religion and Worship which was Instituted by our blessed Lord and Practized by his Disciples and Followers in the primitive times The Conclusion SInce then it is clearly manifest by what hath been said that it is the Lord Jesus Christ by his Grace and Spirit that is and ought to be the chief and principal mover and actor in the Hearts and Souls of his People in order to call and gather them out of the Vanities and Pollutions of this present World and to fit prepare and qualife them for performing that pure and spiritual Worship and Service which is acceptable unto God in this Gospel day whether it be in publick Preaching Testimonies and Declarations or in Prayers Praises and Thanksgivings unto him and that all men in their natural and unconverted State notwithstanding human Abilities until they be converted to God and have the help all such undertakings shall certainly feel and witness the returns of Divine Love Life Peace and Satisfaction from the hand of the Lord unto their Immortal Souls and shall be secretly uphelp supplied and supported by the blessed and holy power of God in all Straits and Difficulties that shall attend them upon the account of their service to God and his Truth and shall also be enabled thereby to persever in Faith and Patience unto the end of their Course until such time as it shall please the Lord God of Eternal Glory to call gather and remove them hence into an heavenly Habitation of Rest and Peace with him forever So that when the Wicked and Rebellious shall be seized upon with perpetual Sorrow and Anguish those who have thus received the Lord Jesus Christ and by his blessed and powerful hand have been conducted to their Eternal Mansion shall together with all the Saints and Children of God that are gone before them Everlastingly Praise Magnifie and Adore the Divine Majesty who alone is worthy of all Honour Glory Praise Magnitude and Dominion at this time henceforth and for evermore Amen ERATA In the Title Page line 12. read revealed in men in the Preface page 2. line 4. for Religions read Religious p. 4. l. 3. f. anology r. anology p. 5. l. 13. f. saw the r. saw that the. p. 17. l. 14. f. hollow r. hallow p. 20. l. 2. f. meet r. met p. 38. l. 18. f. silent r. in silence p. 43. lines 3 4 5 6. not to be â—alick Letter p. 51. l. 2. dele unto p. 59. l. 18. f. intened r. intended p. 68. l. 16. f. feed r. fed l. 25. f.
