The Results of the Presbyterian Assembly at York ON the 15 of this instant December a great dispute was held by divers Ministers in York Minster where they insisted upon a very high Argument to prove the true and visible monarchy of the Church and after a cleer demonstration given in by Mr. Cotton and some other Presbyterian Ministers of the infallibility therof the said Mr. Cotton declared as followeth Beloved The Inundations of revived Heresies are so abounding amongst us that they are even the Tares of the Devils own sowing in the Harvest of God that it would rather become the work of Angels then men to retrive a real Church amongst so patch'd a people Oh! there was a time when God said Build me a house that my Name may dwell there for ever but the Tyrants of the World have destroyed the Temple to adore the Chappels of their own hearts for that house is no longer thought worthy to be a house of prayer but is become a den of thieves A witty Age but a wicked world For many there are who decry down the Ministery the proprieties of the church O but let us consider when the Revenue of the Ministery is once taken off what itinerant piece of Homily will venture the merchandise of his labour for an uncertainty of bread into what contempt and scandal would that glorious calling crumble into when every Clodpate shal sit in Judgment whether a Divine deserve his Sunday dinner T is true indeed such pitiful shreds of predication as the world may produce may preach through plain song to the humor of the Vulgar and the people perhaps delight to have it so but yet let me tell you 't will be a doleful Message when judgments become their own Prophets and the plagues of heaven find no fore runners of their horrid presence O but these are times of revelation and men are more familiar with the Deity then in the dayes of old I grant indeed there is abundance of pretended intimacy with divine workings else certainly the modern confidence were a strange presumption but nevertheless with submission to the supream censure the Widow would hardly have found her groat by puting out the candle neither we in slighting the Ordinances of God which are the ministeriall means of our illumination shal ever by the feel of our groping invention be able to direct our straying feet in the wayes of Righteousness under the ridiculous notion of prophetical inspiration FINIS
