church_n of_o god_n 1._o cor._n 11._o 16._o and_o for_o i_o let_v every_o vessel_n sit_v on_o his_o own_o bottom_n yet_o will_n you_o say_v our_o learned_a minister_n teach_v we_o a_o contrary_a doctrine_n to_o object_n this_o else_o will_v we_o forsake_v this_o sin_n repent_v and_o make_v large_a restitution_n answ._n and_o so_o have_v you_o need_v indeed_o and_o i_o will_v your_o learned_a man_n that_o hold_v you_o in_o sacrilege_n and_o unbelief_n have_v more_o learning_n discretion_n and_o better_a conscience_n then_o to_o break_v god_n commandment_n and_o teach_v man_n so_o to_o do_v and_o this_o we_o ever_o see_v that_o all_o evil_n that_o 19_o come_v to_o the_o church_n come_v ever_o from_o church_n man_n who_o with_o the_o minister_n arrow_n pierce_v the_o minister_n heart_n for_o say_v cyprian_a the_o devil_n have_v invent_v a_o new_a devise_n under_o the_o name_n of_o plator_n learned_a and_o reform_a christian_n to_o deceive_v the_o ignorant_a and_o simple_a and_o what_o deal_n be_v this_o shameless_o upon_o opinion_n of_o seraphical_a excellency_n to_o violate_v god_n express_v law_n and_o to_o detain_v ignorant_a blind_a people_n in_o their_o deep_a sacrilege_n and_o to_o rob_v the_o minister_n of_o their_o right_n and_o portion_n and_o why_o but_o because_o our_o reform_a minister_n forsooth_o soothe_v we_o so_o and_o therefore_o it_o be_v so_o alas_o poor_a good_a man_n that_o pin_n their_o soul_n &_o salvation_n to_o other_o man_n sleve_n and_o what_o be_v this_o but_o to_o exalt_v man_n above_o god_n truth_n and_o to_o glory_n in_o they_o and_o not_o in_o the_o lord_n and_o because_o you_o love_v your_o sin_n use_v all_o mean_n to_o retain_v they_o but_o i_o wish_v your_o reform_a minister_n be_v better_o inform_v that_o so_o you_o by_o they_o may_v be_v reform_v and_o not_o thus_o live_v and_o die_v in_o your_o fearful_a sin_n but_o this_o truth_n to_o depart_v from_o your_o sacrilege_n be_v to_o tart_a and_o you_o therefore_o love_v it_o not_o and_o you_o know_v what_o paul_n write_v in_o thess._n 2._o 10_o 11_o 12._o because_o man_n receive_v not_o the_o love_n of_o the_o truth_n that_o they_o may_v be_v save_v therefore_o god_n shall_v send_v they_o strong_a delusion_n that_o they_o shall_v believe_v lie_n that_o all_o they_o may_v be_v damn_v which_o believe_v not_o the_o truth_n but_o have_v pleasure_n in_o unrighteousness_n sorry_a i_o be_o that_o this_o shall_v be_v verify_v in_o you_o in_o who_o otherwise_o shine_v many_o good_a thing_n which_o be_v speak_v of_o micha_n who_o hit_v a_o levite_n to_o be_v his_o priest_n say_v now_o i_o know_v the_o lord_n will_v be_v good_a unto_o i_o see_v i_o have_v a_o levite_n to_o my_o prophet_n judge_n 17._o 7._o 13._o but_o he_o good_a man_n be_v foul_o deceive_v for_o albeit_o he_o exercise_v a_o superstitious_a worship_n know_v no_o better_o be_v ignorant_a of_o the_o truth_n yet_o he_o after_o his_o manner_n be_v well_o affect_v desire_v

this_o levite_n he_o think_v to_o find_v plain_a deal_n and_o to_o be_v thorough_o train_v in_o piety_n but_o the_o levite_n seek_v his_o own_o and_o not_o michas_n good_a as_o be_v apparent_a in_o judg._n 18._o 20._o who_o for_o better_a preferment_n theevish_o forsake_v he_o and_o do_v leave_v he_o to_o live_v and_o die_v for_o he_o in_o his_o sin_n treacherous_o deceive_v he_o whereof_o the_o proverb_n arise_v good_a micha_n meet_v proverb_n with_o a_o bad_a levite_n and_o so_o lose_v labour_n and_o cost_n but_o if_o micha_n have_v take_v a_o right_a course_n and_o entertain_v a_o faithful_a levite_n i_o mean_v a_o rough-tell_a troth_n and_o a_o down_o right_a reformer_n of_o his_o corruption_n who_o have_v withal_o teach_v he_o the_o truth_n of_o god_n sincere_o then_o may_v he_o just_o and_o upon_o good_a ground_n persuade_v himself_o that_o his_o hart_n be_v upright_o &_o his_o life_n blameless_a it_o shall_v have_v go_v well_o with_o he_o and_o so_o may_v you_o who_o

michae_n for_o man_n as_o that_o levite_n be_v witty_a to_o provide_v for_o themselves_o and_o foresee_v that_o to_o please_v in_o ticklish_a cause_n &_o matter_n of_o conscience_n be_v their_o best_a way_n which_o policy_n when_o john_n baptist_n can_v not_o brook_v poor_a man_n he_o lose_v his_o head_n &_o therefore_o they_o will_v good_a man_n forsooth_o teach_v true_a doctrine_n but_o for_o

shall_v rot_v in_o they_o ere_o they_o will_v awake_v they_o or_o fall_v out_o with_o they_o on_o god_n behalf_n or_o for_o their_o salvation_n which_o cause_v our_o chief_a professor_n who_o abound_v
