in_o these_o do_v the_o true_a minister_n of_o christ_n glory_n and_o do_v not_o get_v into_o a_o place_n &_o there_o settle_v themselves_o at_o their_o own_o will_n to_o preach_v to_o this_o or_o that_o people_n but_o as_o the_o lord_n do_v send_v and_o direct_v they_o they_o be_v to_o go_v whether_o in_o life_n or_o in_o death_n bond_n or_o prison_n yea_o woe_n be_v to_o they_o if_o they_o do_v not_o do_v it_o and_o again_o they_o preach_v to_o the_o people_n nothing_o but_o what_o they_o have_v see_v taste_v and_o have_v handle_v of_o the_o word_n of_o life_n and_o that_o only_o do_v they_o minister_v unto_o other_o but_o if_o you_o shall_v preach_v nothing_o but_o what_o you_o do_v witness_n in_o this_o nature_n which_o every_o true_a minister_n of_o christ_n ought_v to_o do_v and_o not_o more_o than_o you_o may_v stop_v your_o mouth_n and_o indeed_o until_o then_o it_o will_v be_v a_o thousand_o fold_n better_o for_o you_o so_o to_o do_v for_o your_o condemnation_n will_v not_o be_v so_o great_a if_o you_o do_v not_o presume_v thus_o to_o teach_v the_o people_n the_o knowledge_n of_o god_n and_o his_o holy_a way_n but_o do_v sit_v down_o and_o labour_n with_o your_o own_o hand_n for_o your_o live_n for_o of_o a_o truth_n you_o do_v but_o add_v to_o your_o condemnation_n in_o this_o state_n you_o be_v in_o as_o your_o fruit_n manifest_a to_o your_o face_n can_v you_o look_v upon_o your_o assembly_n &_o not_o blush_v and_o be_v ashamed_a to_o see_v the_o fruit_n of_o your_o ministry_n in_o pride_n lust_n and_o ambition_n dress_v more_o like_a antique_n than_o sober_a moral_a man_n full_a of_o vain_a talk_n and_o foolish_a jest_n swear_v lie_a and_o all_o manner_n of_o vice_n be_v to_o be_v find_v among_o they_o even_o among_o your_o constant_a hearer_n who_o you_o call_v reformer_n of_o religion_n but_o what_o they_o be_v reform_v from_o in_o nature_n let_v the_o pure_a light_n of_o christ_n jesus_n judge_n in_o all_o their_o conscience_n as_o it_o do_v for_o god_n against_o they_o and_o you_o and_o i_o be_o sure_a it_o show_v that_o they_o differ_v nothing_o in_o nature_n from_o the_o common_a practice_n of_o the_o nation_n but_o rather_o through_o they_o and_o their_o ungodly_a practice_n cause_v the_o good_a way_n of_o god_n to_o be_v evil_o speak_v of_o and_o this_o o_o you_o priest_n be_v the_o manifest_a and_o evident_a fruit_n of_o your_o work_n and_o labour_n but_o the_o free_a and_o true_a ministry_n of_o christ_n jesus_n be_v for_o the_o perfect_a of_o the_o saint_n and_o the_o edify_n of_o the_o body_n until_o they_o all_o come_v to_o a_o perfect_a man_n into_o the_o measure_n and_o stature_n of_o the_o fullness_n of_o christ_n who_o be_v and_o be_v head_n of_o their_o body_n unto_o which_o no_o corrupt_a nor_o profane_a member_n can_v be_v join_v and_o thus_o your_o ministry_n differ_v from_o the_o true_a yea_o even_o as_o much_o as_o light_v from_o darkness_n the_o one_o teach_v and_o lead_v out_o of_o all_o sin_n and_o the_o other_o teach_v that_o there_o can_v never_o be_v a_o freedom_n from_o sin_n in_o this_o li_z e_z though_o the_o apostle_n say_v you_o be_v make_v free_a from_o sin_n become_v the_o servant_n of_o righteousness_n for_o while_o you_o be_v servant_n unto_o sin_n you_o be_v free_a from_o righteousness_n so_o there_o be_v the_o fruit_n and_o effect_n of_o the_o true_a ministry_n and_o the_o fruit_n and_o effect_n of_o the_o ministry_n of_o satan_n be_v so_o far_o from_o this_o that_o they_o preach_v up_o sin_n for_o term_n of_o life_n as_o have_v be_v speak_v of_o already_o therefore_o o_o you_o priest_n be_v you_o warn_v of_o the_o lord_n god_n of_o life_n and_o cease_v thus_o from_o delude_v the_o people_n and_o let_v he_o that_o steal_v steal_v no_o more_o but_o rather_o let_v he_o labour_n work_v with_o his_o hand_n the_o thing_n which_o be_v good_a that_o he_o may_v have_v to_o give_v to_o he_o that_o need_v and_o this_o be_v counsel_n of_o life_n unto_o you_o all_o o_o you_o protestant_a priest_n in_o france_n i_o say_v cease_v from_o steal_v other_o man_n word_n and_o make_v merchandise_n of_o they_o to_o other_o but_o come_v to_o the_o light_n yourselves_o that_o you_o may_v hear_v and_o learn_v of_o christ_n yourselves_o and_o then_o if_o he_o please_v to_o send_v any_o of_o you_o forth_o to_o open_v the_o blind_a eye_n and_o turn_v the_o people_n from_o darkness_n to_o light_n and_o from_o satan_n power_n to_o god_n then_o obey_v his_o voice_n and_o go_v forth_o free_o and_o preach_v as_o he_o have_v give_v you_o free_o so_o will_v you_o profit_v the_o people_n though_o this_o manner_n of_o call_n will_v be_v contrary_a to_o your_o own_o will_n and_o against_o man_n will_n you_o come_v to_o preach_v to_o and_o till_o you_o come_v to_o witness_v this_o only_a holy_a and_o true_a call_n i_o say_v again_o and_o again_o as_o from_o the_o lord_n god_n of_o life_n cease_v and_o be_v still_o and_o let_v the_o people_n alone_o until_o the_o lord_n send_v labourer_n among_o they_o for_o the_o vineyard_n be_v only_o he_o to_o send_v into_o it_o to_o labour_v who_o he_o only_o will_v appoint_v thereto_o and_o he_o which_o go_v and_o be_v not_o send_v be_v but_o a_o thief_n and_o a_o robber_n which_o be_v the_o word_n of_o the_o lord_n god_n unto_o all_o priest_n of_o this_o nation_n therefore_o cease_v cease_v and_o repent_v that_o you_o may_v find_v mercy_n for_o the_o blood_n of_o one_o man_n if_o it_o be_v lay_v to_o your_o charge_n will_v be_v too_o heavy_a for_o you_o to_o bear_v which_o assure_o you_o must_v for_o many_o if_o you_o refuse_v to_o hearken_v unto_o the_o counsel_n of_o god_n which_o he_o in_o the_o infiniteness_n of_o his_o love_n tender_v unto_o you_o for_o know_v the_o end_n of_o the_o true_a ministry_n be_v to_o bring_v people_n unto_o god_n and_o on_o he_o alone_o to_o wait_v for_o teach_v which_o be_v his_o covenant_n and_o promise_n to_o bring_v people_n to_o be_v sensible_a of_o the_o gift_n of_o the_o holy_a spirit_n of_o god_n in_o themselves_o and_o the_o apostle_n say_v every_o man_n have_v a_o manifestation_n of_o the_o spirit_n give_v to_o he_o to_o profit_v withal_o which_o be_v turn_v unto_o to_o profit_n be_v a_o sufficient_a teacher_n of_o itself_o &_o such_o need_v not_o man_n teach_v any_o more_o and_o so_o people_n come_v to_o know_v their_o body_n to_o be_v the_o temple_n of_o god_n through_o the_o spirit_n which_o dwell_v in_o they_o and_o so_o they_o come_v to_o bring_v forth_o the_o fruit_n of_o the_o spirit_n which_o be_v

one_o new_a man_n be_v witness_v and_o so_o peace_n come_v to_o be_v witness_v with_o god_n and_o not_o before_o and_o until_o the_o new_a creature_n be_v witness_v all_o avail_v nothing_o but_o the_o true_a and_o everlasting_a ministry_n of_o christ_n jesus_n bring_v the_o creature_n unto_o this_o and_o none_o else_o by_o which_o and_o in_o which_o the_o creature_n come_v to_o bring_v forth_o natural_o the_o fruit_n of_o the_o spirit_n as_o he_o do_v the_o fruit_n of_o the_o flesh_n before_o which_o be_v nothing_o else_o but_o lust_n and_o uncleanness_n and_o filthiness_n of_o life_n so_o give_v up_o to_o be_v teach_v by_o he_o in_o this_o the_o day_n of_o his_o almighty_a power_n therefore_o let_v this_o be_v a_o warning_n unto_o all_o priest_n let_v god_n alone_o with_o his_o own_o work_n for_o he_o need_v no_o man_n wisdom_n to_o help_v he_o for_o the_o best_a of_o your_o stuff_n you_o have_v be_v but_o compact_v with_o your_o own_o natural_a wisdom_n which_o you_o must_v all_o

spiritual_o discern_v therefore_o you_o must_v all_o come_v to_o the_o teach_n of_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n yourselves_o before_o you_o can_v come_v to_o teach_v other_o these_o thing_n be_v plain_a and_o manifest_a unto_o every_o one_o who_o be_v not_o wilful_o blind_a and_o drink_v with_o prejudice_n therefore_o consider_v paul_n have_v more_o to_o lose_v of_o this_o kind_n than_o most_o of_o you_o have_v yet_o he_o say_v he_o count_v it_o gain_v to_o lose_v it_o all_o to_o gain_v christ_n and_o let_v he_o be_v your_o example_n who_o reason_v not_o with_o flesh_n and_o blood_n but_o

and_o hear_v his_o word_n and_o it_o be_v unto_o they_o as_o a_o very_a lovely_a song_n yet_o their_o heart_n be_v after_o their_o covetousness_n avail_v they_o nothing_o and_o you_o never_o yet_o
