out_o of_o the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n and_o now_o mark_v if_o a_o covetous_a man_n be_v a_o idolater_n as_o the_o apostle_n say_v than_o all_o covetous_a man_n be_v idolater_n and_o shall_v not_o inherit_v the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n and_o now_o let_v all_o those_o that_o be_v call_v priest_n teacher_n minister_n and_o prophet_n in_o christendom_n see_v if_o their_o fruit_n do_v not_o declare_v they_o to_o be_v covetous_a and_o so_o idolater_n who_o preach_v christ_n and_o the_o apostle_n and_o seem_v to_o have_v a_o zeal_n for_o their_o word_n but_o how_o many_o of_o they_o will_v preach_v without_o tithe_n and_o hire_v and_o if_o people_n will_v not_o give_v it_o unto_o they_o then_o to_o spoil_v their_o good_n and_o cast_v they_o into_o prison_n yea_o till_o death_n as_o many_o have_v be_v because_o they_o will_v not_o hold_v up_o and_o feed_v that_o idolatrous_a spirit_n of_o covetousness_n in_o they_o whenas_o the_o apostle_n command_v the_o church_n not_o so_o much_o as_o to_o have_v fellowship_n nor_o company_n nor_o to_o eat_v with_o a_o covetous_a person_n which_o be_v a_o idolater_n and_o now_o if_o the_o saint_n the_o true_a church_n of_o christ_n must_v not_o eat_v nor_o keep_v company_n with_o such_o then_o how_o must_v they_o hear_v they_o or_o be_v compel_v or_o force_v to_o hear_v such_o and_o know_v that_o christ_n say_v to_o his_o minister_n who_o he_o send_v forth_o free_o they_o have_v receive_v free_o they_o be_v to_o give_v and_o they_o be_v neither_o to_o provide_v silver_n nor_o gold_n nor_o bag_n nor_o scrip_n but_o to_o inquire_v who_o be_v worthy_a of_o their_o message_n and_o what_o be_v set_v before_o they_o that_o they_o be_v to_o eat_v and_o such_o as_o be_v unworthy_a that_o will_v not_o receive_v they_o and_o their_o message_n they_o be_v to_o shake_v the_o dust_n off_o their_o foot_n which_o shall_v be_v a_o witness_n against_o they_o at_o the_o day_n of_o judgement_n and_o the_o apostle_n do_v not_o cast_v those_o unworthy_a one_o that_o will_v not_o receive_v they_o and_o set_v meat_n before_o they_o into_o prison_n as_o some_o of_o your_o minister_n do_v the_o people_n of_o god_n because_o they_o can_v uphold_v your_o covetous_a idolatrous_a spirit_n in_o give_v you_o tithe_n and_o hire_n and_o now_o all_o you_o that_o will_v not_o preach_v christ_n &_o the_o apostle_n word_n nor_o pray_v among_o people_n nor_o give_v they_o psalm_n to_o sing_v and_o sing_v among_o they_o and_o baptize_v child_n as_o you_o call_v it_o or_o sprinkle_v they_o without_o the_o ten_o of_o people_n increase_n of_o their_o labour_n and_o without_o the_o ten_o of_o the_o increase_n of_o their_o cattle_n and_o good_n and_o have_v set_a wage_n by_o the_o year_n for_o these_o thing_n be_v not_o you_o the_o covetous_a idolater_n yea_o &_o cast_v people_n into_o prison_n and_o spoil_v their_o good_n and_o excommunicate_v they_o who_o you_o do_v none_o of_o these_o work_n for_o neither_o have_v they_o set_v you_o a_o work_n nor_o hire_v you_o to_o do_v any_o of_o these_o thing_n for_o they_o for_o do_v not_o most_o people_n every_o where_o general_o hire_v you_o &_o agree_v with_o you_o for_o so_o much_o in_o the_o year_n or_o do_v not_o you_o make_v friend_n with_o great_a person_n to_o put_v you_o into_o fat_a benefice_n &_o instead_o of_o inquire_v where_o the_o worthy_a people_n be_v be_v not_o your_o priest_n inquire_v where_o be_v the_o great_a benefice_n and_o most_o tithe_n and_o income_n and_o then_o when_o you_o be_v settle_v do_v not_o you_o spoil_v the_o good_n and_o cast_v into_o prison_n such_o as_o never_o hire_v you_o nor_o hear_v you_o and_o be_v not_o this_o contrary_a to_o the_o general_a command_n of_o christ_n to_o his_o disciple_n both_o to_o the_o 12._o and_o the_o 70_o free_o you_o have_v receive_v free_o give_v etc._n etc._n so_o be_v it_o not_o manifest_v here_o that_o you_o be_v covetous_a idolater_n that_o the_o apostle_n speak_v against_o that_o

according_a to_o the_o command_n of_o christ_n and_o these_o false_a prophet_n and_o teachor_n through_o covetousness_n shall_v with_o feign_a word_n make_v merchandise_n of_o people_n for_o how_o
