and_o to_o all_o they_o that_o have_v long_o hear_v you_o to_o ask_v you_o a_o few_o plain_a honest_a question_n concern_v your_o ministerial_a office_n first_o whether_o your_o ministry_n have_v be_v receive_v of_o man_n and_o by_o man_n uphold_v or_o from_o god_n and_o his_o pure_a unlimited_a spirit_n and_o by_o he_o uphold_v if_o you_o say_v of_o god_n and_o the_o gospel_n you_o have_v preach_v all_o this_o while_o be_v not_o of_o man_n nor_o in_o man_n will_n and_o time_n receive_v then_o i_o query_n whether_o you_o ought_v not_o to_o obey_v god_n rather_o than_o man_n and_o follow_v his_o unlimited_a spirit_n in_o preach_v the_o gospel_n of_o he_o receive_v rather_o than_o to_o leave_v preach_v as_o you_o do_v when_o command_v by_o the_o power_n of_o the_o earth_n again_o if_o your_o commission_n be_v receive_v of_o god_n or_o christ_n as_o the_o true_a prophet_n and_o minister_n be_v of_o old_a then_o whether_o the_o same_o mind_n will_v not_o be_v in_o you_o as_o be_v in_o christ_n jesus_n and_o his_o true_a minister_n and_o prophet_n who_o when_o be_v beat_v and_o after_o that_o strait_o charge_v and_o command_v to_o preach_v no_o more_o in_o the_o name_n of_o jesus_n act._n 4_o &_o act_n 5._o go_v straightway_o and_o speak_v bold_o in_o the_o same_o name_n even_o all_o the_o word_n of_o that_o life_n and_o now_o whether_o all_o that_o do_v observe_v your_o fearful_a and_o unbelieving_a heart_n in_o be_v obedient_a to_o those_o command_n and_o precept_n of_o man_n even_o those_o command_n which_o you_o yourselves_o say_v be_v unjust_a and_o do_v oppose_v the_o work_n of_o the_o gospel_n of_o christ_n have_v not_o just_a cause_n to_o believe_v that_o you_o have_v not_o receive_v your_o power_n from_o on_o high_a nor_o be_v with_o jesus_n as_o they_o have_v before_o mention_v who_o boldness_n in_o the_o lord_n become_v the_o confidence_n of_o the_o brethren_n which_o have_v believe_v their_o report_n who_o have_v no_o arm_n of_o flesh_n to_o trust_v in_o but_o only_o the_o name_n and_o arm_n of_o the_o lord_n as_o you_o have_v sometime_o have_v when_o in_o your_o zeal_n which_o be_v not_o good_a you_o cause_v the_o innocent_a lamb_n and_o true_a minister_n of_o christ_n to_o be_v shut_v up_o in_o prison_n until_o death_n this_o i_o charge_v not_o upon_o all_o but_o upon_o some_o yet_o let_v all_o consider_v the_o righteousness_n of_o the_o lord_n who_o render_v unto_o every_o man_n according_a to_o his_o deed_n and_o now_o even_o all_o that_o fear_n god_n in_o any_o measure_n be_v ready_a almost_o to_o question_v the_o truth_n of_o your_o ministry_n itself_o see_v your_o practice_n be_v so_o contrary_a to_o the_o true_a minister_n and_o also_o to_o the_o scripture_n which_o you_o say_v be_v your_o rule_n read_v it_o and_o see_v yourselves_o and_o measure_v yourselves_o therewith_o act_v 4._o 17_o 18_o 20._o to_o the_o end_n also_o act_v 5._o 25._o to_o the_o 41._o and_o see_v almost_o all_o have_v turn_v from_o their_o own_o faith_n and_o principle_n for_o fear_v of_o man_n that_o must_v die_v or_o for_o love_n of_o something_o that_o must_v perish_v or_o come_v to_o nought_o and_o this_o do_v stagger_v many_o to_o see_v such_o tall_a cedar_n as_o you_o now_o fall_v so_o low_a even_o you_o that_o seem_v to_o be_v pillar_n in_o the_o church_n to_o bear_v so_o small_a a_o testimony_n in_o a_o day_n wherein_o iniquity_n do_v so_o abound_v many_o say_v you_o ought_v not_o to_o put_v your_o candle_n under_o a_o bushel_n if_o light_v by_o the_o lord_n and_o if_o that_o which_o you_o have_v preach_v all_o this_o while_n have_v be_v see_v and_o learn_v of_o he_o you_o can_v not_o but_o speak_v it_o forth_o now_o and_o also_o that_o if_o for_o well_o do_v they_o shall_v put_v you_o into_o prison_n it_o will_v be_v a_o witness_n against_o they_o and_o a_o testimony_n in_o their_o heart_n that_o you_o have_v wrought_v for_o god_n and_o not_o for_o yourselves_o all_o this_o while_n and_o then_o will_v you_o be_v no_o way_n guilty_a of_o silence_v yourselves_o as_o now_o they_o judge_v you_o be_v and_o than_o you_o will_v make_v it_o manifest_a that_o you_o live_v of_o the_o gospel_n and_o its_o maintenance_n as_o the_o true_a prophet_n and_o minister_n of_o christ_n do_v when_o all_o carnal_a prop_n and_o help_n be_v take_v away_o again_o i_o ask_v you_o whether_o it_o be_v the_o way_n or_o ever_o be_v of_o the_o true_a minister_n and_o keeper_n of_o christ_n flock_n when_o they_o see_v the_o wolf_n come_v to_o devour_v the_o sheep_n and_o tear_v the_o lamb_n then_o to_o go_v into_o a_o corner_n and_o be_v silent_a there_o as_o you_o be_v for_o fear_v of_o he_o or_o whether_o this_o be_v not_o rather_o the_o way_n of_o the_o true_a shepherd_n and_o minister_n of_o christ_n to_o lay_v down_o their_o life_n for_o the_o sheep_n not_o with_o carnal_a weapon_n as_o too_o many_o have_v do_v of_o late_a but_o in_o appear_v most_o eminent_o for_o they_o with_o the_o spiritual_a weapon_n and_o sword_n that_o proceed_v out_o of_o the_o lamb_n mouth_n when_o eminent_a danger_n do_v near_o approach_v they_o and_o whether_o christ_n word_n john_n 10_o to_o the_o 14._o be_v not_o fulfil_v
