A94750	A vvord of reproof to the priests or ministers, who boast of their ministery and ordinances, and yet live in pride, disdain, persecution, &c. Shevving what such are; and how little cause they have to exclaim against those who separate from them. As also a word to the papists discovering their foundation to be carnal and sandie. In a letter sent to some supposed priests or Jesuites in the north, by William Tomlinson.	Tomlinson, William.	1653 (1653)	Wing T1855; Thomason E691_9; ESTC R206966	29,084	49

of_o they_o and_o yet_o man_n cry_v they_o up_o for_o the_o ordinance_n of_o jesus_n christ_n the_o spirit_n of_o the_o lord_n arise_v up_o in_o indignation_n against_o they_o as_o they_o be_v so_o

a_o counterfeit_a image_n of_o the_o form_n of_o some_o of_o they_o and_o not_o the_o very_a true_a image_n of_o those_o which_o you_o have_v if_o you_o have_v the_o very_a express_a image_n of_o all_o the_o outward_a form_n of_o ordinance_n of_o christ_n or_o practice_n of_o the_o apostle_n and_o believer_n yet_o these_o be_v poor_a thing_n to_o boast_v of_o and_o to_o be_v exalt_v with_o

that_o the_o lord_n take_v pleasure_n in_o but_o the_o power_n the_o truth_n the_o life_n the_o spirit_n and_o therefore_o he_o do_v not_o bind_v we_o his_o servant_n to_o abide_v in_o communion_n with_o any_o that_o live_v in_o any_o form_n of_o godliness_n without_o the_o power_n but_o command_v we_o by_o his_o apostle_n to_o turn_v away_o from_o such_o 2_o tim._n 3.5_o and_o this_o be_v no_o

the_o devil_n that_o put_v scripture_n into_o the_o mouth_n of_o such_o as_o will_v destroy_v his_o work_n you_o call_v yourselves_o the_o minister_n of_o jesus_n christ_n but_o if_o you_o be_v not_o
