Then they that deny revelation deny that Ministry which stands out of mans will to wit the Ministry of Christ in the Spirit and they also that deny revelation deny both the Father and the Son and the Gospel order in the Ministry and mystery therof But such as deny that are the University men and even the Priests of the world and nationall Ministers made by the wil of man therefore such are not the Ministers of Christ nor the Gospel but by believers and the chiidren of the light to be denyed 2 Iohn 9.10 ii i3 They are beloved of Christ and Friends indeed that keepeth Christs Commands but such are enemies that keepeth not Christs commands and he hath in his Doctrine said by command be ye perfect as your Father which is in heaven is perfect Heb. 6. i. i2 22 23. Colos i. 25 26 27 28. then they which preach and say men cannot be perfect they cross the Scriptures and contradict Christs Action Doctrine and Command therin contained such are Antichrists Ministers as are against Christs Ministery which is for the perfecting of the Saints Mat. 5.48 Ephes 3. ii i2 but such are the Priests of the VVorld or national and ungospellike Ministers therefore such are no Ministers of Christ but enemies against Christ and his Gospel who bring a contrary doctrine to Christ Colos i. 27 28. i Cor. 2.6 and his Gospell-Ministers They say men cannot be perfect when Christ commands to be perfect and the Gospel ministers preached wisdome to such as were perfect and if by Christs ministry some were made perfect then by the same others may but some by his minestry were made perfect therefore I may as they were i Cor. 2.6 Heb. 12.22 23. i Iohn 4 i6 i7 Rev. i4 4.5 And they that bring a contrary doctrine to Christ and his Gospel ministers such are to be held accursed and such as love not the Lord Iesus Christ who do not keep his commands but teach to transgress and break them by perswading people to cont●nue in Sin saying they must not nor cannot there be set free from sin which is the Devils work and in his Kingdom therefore such teachers are to be held accursed for hee that commits Sin is of the Devill Galath i. 8 9. i Cor. i6 22 Rom. 6. i6 Iohn 8.34 i Iohn 3.8 i4 They that say Paul the Gospel minister took wages of hypocrites are lyars of the man of God and therein erre from the truth and so shew a spirit of error but one did say so to wit VVilliam Sheffield high Priest of Ipstock therefore a lyar and the Lake is for such Revel 2i 8. i5 Those that by fallacies would prove a lawfulness to take Tythes or wages 20. 40. 60. i00 or 200 l. by the year for telling their lyes and plead that place of Scripture 2 Cor. ii 8. as thou Sheffield did adding to it thy fallacies and lying divinations to colour over thy deceivableness but the light sees thee and all such under such pretences to wrest the Scriptures therein but such are the Priests of the world and thou one with them that pleads for hire of the world and wages of hypocrites or set maintainances of Churches so called that are in the hypocrisie from that by the year as aforesaid therefore do you and such like wrong the man of God and are wresters of his words and the Scriptures for your selfe-ends to your own destruction 2 Pet. 3. i6 i7 Paul the true Gospel minister preached freely to the Corinthians unto them the Gospel of God 2.

A ROD To drive out the Wilde Bores AND Subtill Foxes From amongst the VINES That the Vineyard may be kept cleer OR A GIFT Sent to the PRIESTS To let them see themselves that they may acknowledge their Errors and upon them own their condemnation to be just and right now the truth doth so plainly appear By R.

They who profess themselves to be Ministers of Christ and transgresseth not abiding in his Doctrine have not God 2 Iohn 9. and are not to be received by believers but such are the Priests of these times therefore receive them not into your house neither bid them God speed least you in so doing be made partakers of their evil deeds 2 Iohn 9.10 il 3. They who claime Tythes of the people from that of Melchizedeck meeting Abraham when he returned from the slaughter of the Kings after the Conquest and blessed him who then freely without any Command or known Law than voluntarily for his blessing gave him the tenth of spoils returning the rest into their places at that present Tythes being a free-will offering and no command neither was they then given by a Law nor any more there to be done neither to Melchizedeck nor his successors that were after his order therefore according to that of Melchizedecke tythes was not after his order for succeeding ages but there begun and ended in that thing never done before nor after according to that order but the Priests of these times who call themselves Ministers that take Tythes of the people before their enemies are conquered and subdued and hath no blessing for them neither but before conquest take tythes of the people and compel them to pay them by a Law successively such are not after Melchizedeck the fygure and then likeness of Christ not the substance but Christ is now come the greater who is the end of all Figures and likeness of him and he now raignes who is after Melchizedeck and over who endures for ever the end and substance and sum of all things before and after Abraham and the Types in the life and power of truth over all God blessed for ever Therefore the Priests of the world who call themselves Gospell ministers but are not but by their Logick fallacies and Philosophy which is vain deceit Colos 2.8 hath in that long deceived the people and if they could have proved that they had been as Melchizedeck was when he met Abraham which they could not but if they had they were but to have taken Tythes of the Army to wit the tenth of the spoiles only and not before but after the Conquest provided that they had brought them forth from God a blessing and if the Souldiery would freely they might have given them a tenth out of the spoiles but not out of mens estates but no command for tenths out of the Spoils it might have been a free-will offering only at one time and no more Gen i4 answering that in Heb. 7. 4 They who take not of the Souldiery only but countrey also not the tenth of spoils but mens labours are contrary to Melchizedecks order therefore from that to be denyed and they who take tenths also before the conquest whilest people are burthened with Sin and Sinful oppressed by their enemies and adversary are there also contrary so they likewise who neither meet the Conqueror nor bring forth for him any blessing where the Conquest is such have no right in that to receive a gift the tenths of the spoils only therefore are these by such conquerors and souldiers to be denied for such are not after the order of him who was and is in the time of free-will offerings before the Law and witnessed through the Law in the same place out of Egyt where Abraham dwels and his seed that are in Abraham to see the end upon the rock witnessing the antient of days through the Cloud re●●●…nder and then stand over where the Priests of the world stand out who are the usurpers ruling in Tyranny over the people bond and free in that compelling people to pay tythes by a Law before they have conquered their enemies and have no blessing for them that are returned who divide the spoile and now begin to blossome seeing them the Peiests who have lost and are without the blessing and themselves yet under the curse as Ham was who lives in the disobedience to Christ and the New-Covenant being by nature and in it yet the children of wrath serving diverse lusts and pleasures who are not after the order of Melchizedeck neither before the Law with such yet as follow the error of Balaam who go on in the ways of Cam Iude 1i Gen. 3. but such are the Priests of the world who call themselves Ministers of the Gospel having no other proofe nor warrant but to say so as those who said they were the children of Abraham and said God was their Father but had no other proofe but to lay so for their natures properties and actions declared the contrary so that Christ the Gospel spirit told them they were of their father the Devil and his works they would do and if I say so to you the Priests and national Ministers your fruits declare the same to wit that you are of your father the Devil oppressing the people and this spirit that tels you so is not Ungospel-like but agreeing thereunto Iohn 8.45 Mat. 20. the 34. There you the tything Priests are by the faithful Abrahamites to be denyed and your wayes by them is to be again to others testifyed Ephes 5. i1 You and your wayes and worships being with them weighed and tryed and now are found with Nebuchadnezar and belshazar who have not humbled your selves also to be too high and your Kingdom is to be taken from you Mene Mene Tekel Eupharsin Dan. 5.26.27 28. 5 The Priests who call themselves Ministers are proved to be contrary to Melchizedecks order before the Law in receiving Tythes and now also contrary to the Aacronical and Levitical order not doing their service for the Tythes a peculiar gift to the Aronicall and Leviticall Priesthood having no other inheritance and so set apart and ordained for that service in its time and after ended therefore the Priests are without all order for that and no ways can prove their right to them but from Popes to bishops and so to Priests their successors therefore from the Popes father are they risen
