A93646	The guilty-covered clergy-man unvailed; in a plain and candid reply unto two bundles of wrath and confusion, wrapt up in one and twenty sheets of paper. The one written by Christopher Fowler and Simon Ford of Reading; the other by William Thomas of Ubley in Somersetshire. Wherein all their malicious slanders and false accusations, which they cast upon the truth, are clean wash'd off; their weapons with which they war against the Lamb, broken over their own heads; and they, with the rest of the tyth-exacting teachers, proved to be the great incendaries, and mis-leaders of these nations. In which also there is made a brief and sober application, to the magistrates, and other inhabitants, within the city of Bristol. / By Thomas Speed, a friend to all that tremble at the Word of the Lord; but an irreconcileable enemy to the mysterious deceit, and monstrous hypocrisie of those that do teach for hire, and divine for money.	Speed, Thomas, b. 1622 or 3.	1657 (1657)	Wing S4905; Thomason E893_1; ESTC R203614	61,807	87

command_n but_o you_o say_v the_o minister_n of_o christ_n then_o have_v not_o the_o same_o legal_a right_n back_v with_o the_o power_n of_o a_o christian_n magistrate_n rep._n to_o which_o i_o

a_o ten_o appoint_v payable_a to_o the_o tribe_n of_o levi_n and_o a_o ten_o give_v to_o melchisedeck_v how_o come_v it_o to_o pass_v that_o you_o who_o be_v not_o of_o that_o tribe_n do_v demand_n

than_o i_o demand_v what_o shadow_n of_o a_o rule_n in_o scripture_n he_o have_v for_o this_o and_o whether_o suppose_v the_o ten_o to_o be_v his_o due_n it_o be_v not_o extortion_n to_o receive_v the_o six_o 4._o last_o there_o be_v no_o clear_a demonstration_n that_o neither_o you_o nor_o he_o be_v minister_n of_o christ_n than_o this_o that_o you_o express_v such_o clamour_n about_o your_o

there_o be_v no_o want_n never_o any_o that_o be_v faithful_a in_o his_o work_n but_o have_v enough_o and_o be_v you_o his_o servant_n you_o will_v trust_v more_o and_o fear_n and_o complain_v less_o
