A82314	The city-ministers unmasked, or The hypocrisie and iniquity of fifty nine of the most eminent of the clergy in and about the city of London. Cleerly discovered out of two of their own pamphlets, one intituled, A serious and faithful representation; the other A vindication of the Ministers of the Gospel, in and about the City of London. Together vvith a prophesie of John Hus, touching the choosing of a new ministry; and an ancient prophetical farewel of Hildegards, to the old corrupt ministry. Both very useful for the knowledg of the long deceived nations. / By a friend of the Armies, in its ways to justice and righteousnes.	Dell, William, d. 1664.	1649 (1649)	Wing D920; Thomason E546_2; ESTC R206085	24,534	40

last_o of_o all_o the_o presbyter_n these_o three_o sect_n make_v up_o the_o number_n of_o his_o name_n now_o how_o unsafe_a this_o be_v for_o this_o state_n or_o any_o other_o to_o have_v another_o

for_o it_o be_v never_o know_v yet_o but_o the_o ecclesiastical_a kingdom_n do_v exalt_v itself_o above_o the_o civil_a as_o oil_n above_o the_o water_n and_o so_o it_o have_v bridle_v and_o saddle_v

no_o more_o and_o thus_o now_o it_o be_v plain_a that_o presbytery_n be_v the_o most_o dangerous_a sect_n of_o any_o other_o to_o be_v tolerate_v in_o the_o state_n it_o not_o be_v s●fe_n for_o the_o
