A30523	A faithful testimony concerning the true worship of God what it is in it self, and who are the true vvorshippers : in opposition to all the false worship in this nation, which is idolatry, which is discovered in its foundation, and in its manifestation, not to be ever commanded of God, or practised by his apostles and saints, but it is declared to consist chiefly of such things and practises as had their first beginning and ordination in the Church of Rome ... and this is written for a general good to all such as are worshipping in temples made with hands / by E.B.	Burrough, Edward, 1634-1662.	1659 (1659)	Wing B6002; ESTC R36302	11,877	16

if_o they_o have_v not_o that_o yet_o do_v they_o not_o cast_v man_n into_o prison_n and_o spoil_v their_o good_n that_o will_v not_o give_v it_o they_o as_o this_o generation_n of_o teacher_n do_v and_o the_o lord_n god_n be_v rise_v to_o confound_v this_o worship_n and_o this_o ministry_n which_o be_v idolatry_n and_o this_o church_n which_o be_v but_o a_o false_a feign_a imitation_n and_o he_o will_v establish_v his_o true_a worship_n that_o be_v in_o spirit_n and_o in_o truth_n and_o his_o true_a ministry_n that_o be_v by_o the_o gift_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o his_o true_a church_n and_o this_o shall_v be_v bring_v to_o pass_v in_o his_o day_n but_o again_o there_o be_v another_o practice_n which_o you_o have_v which_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n and_o the_o prelate_n have_v your_o predecessor_n if_o any_o come_v in_o the_o name_n of_o the_o lord_n to_o declare_v against_o you_o and_o against_o your_o abomination_n to_o cry_v against_o your_o sin_n and_o cry_v repentance_n among_o you_o that_o you_o may_v be_v convert_v to_o god_n this_o you_o account_v a_o great_a transgression_n and_o persecute_v they_o that_o do_v it_o by_o imprison_v and_o whip_v and_o stocking_n and_o by_o impose_v great_a fine_n upon_o they_o and_o cause_v they_o to_o suffer_v cruel_a thing_n and_o this_o do_v the_o papist_n and_o prelate_n in_o like_o manner_n as_o you_o do_v if_o any_o be_v move_v to_o cry_v against_o they_o they_o indeed_o reward_v they_o even_o as_o you_o do_v at_o this_o day_n the_o same_o thing_n you_o do_v against_o such_o as_o be_v move_v of_o the_o lord_n to_o come_v among_o you_o and_o herein_o you_o succeed_v they_o and_o bring_v forth_o the_o same_o persecution_n in_o your_o church_n as_o they_o do_v in_o their_o church_n and_o this_o be_v the_o defence_n of_o your_o church_n and_o of_o your_o ministry_n carnal_a weapon_n imprisonment_n and_o whip_v and_o stocking_n and_o cause_v the_o body_n of_o people_n to_o suffer_v through_o cruelty_n and_o injustice_n and_o by_o this_o mean_n be_v your_o church_n and_o ministry_n defend_v and_o preserve_v or_o otherwise_o it_o will_v present_o fall_v as_o not_o be_v able_a to_o continue_v nor_o resist_v nor_o gainsay_v the_o spirit_n and_o power_n of_o god_n which_o now_o be_v rise_v to_o oppose_v they_o if_o they_o have_v not_o carnal_a law_n and_o earthly_a power_n and_o gaol_n and_o house_n of_o correction_n to_o defend_v themselves_o by_o and_o be_v this_o the_o church_n of_o christ_n and_o be_v this_o christ_n ministry_n that_o have_v need_n of_o such_o weapon_n as_o these_o the_o apostle_n nor_o true_a church_n never_o do_v thus_o neither_o send_v people_n to_o prison_n that_o oppose_v they_o nor_o have_v such_o cruelty_n to_o execute_v upon_o the_o body_n of_o people_n though_o many_o do_v oppose_v they_o out_o of_o wickedness_n but_o the_o spirit_n and_o authority_n of_o the_o lord_n do_v defend_v they_o from_o all_o their_o enemy_n but_o your_o church_n and_o ministry_n be_v manifest_a to_o be_v another_o then_o that_o be_v and_o to_o be_v defend_v by_o another_o mean_n even_o by_o the_o same_o mean_n that_o the_o papist_n and_o prelate_n of_o old_a be_v of_o a_o long_a time_n defend_v by_o but_o when_o the_o measure_n of_o these_o thing_n be_v fulfil_v they_o will_v come_v to_o a_o end_n as_o the_o measure_n of_o that_o generation_n iniquity_n be_v fulfil_v which_o go_v before_o you_o so_o in_o the_o lord_n season_n will_v your_o measure_n be_v fulfil_v and_o the_o lord_n people_n shall_v be_v free_a and_o all_o bond_n of_o iniquity_n break_v and_o thus_o it_o be_v manifest_a that_o this_o church_n and_o ministry_n succeed_v the_o church_n of_o rome_n and_o her_o minister_n far_o more_o than_o the_o church_n of_o christ_n and_o its_o true_a minister_n and_o to_o that_o it_o be_v not_o equal_a in_o any_o thing_n but_o to_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n it_o be_v comparable_a in_o many_o thing_n so_o that_o it_o be_v manifest_a that_o this_o church_n and_o ministry_n be_v not_o quite_o another_o than_o the_o church_n and_o ministry_n of_o rome_n but_o such_o as_o have_v dissent_v from_o they_o and_o be_v true_o spring_v out_o of_o that_o root_n and_o be_v the_o same_o still_o in_o substance_n though_o differ_v in_o some_o practice_n have_v cast_v out_o some_o old_a invention_n and_o bring_v in_o some_o new_a but_o as_o i_o have_v say_v remain_v still_o the_o same_o in_o nature_n and_o substance_n though_o dissent_v in_o some_o particular_n yet_o succeed_v in_o many_o particular_n as_o i_o may_v show_v more_o full_o hereafter_o and_o though_o you_o bear_v the_o name_n and_o style_v yourselves_o the_o reform_a church_n you_o mean_v reform_v from_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n but_o how_o be_v you_o reform_v but_o by_o some_o visible_a appearance_n and_o not_o in_o the_o ground_n have_v put_v off_o but_o some_o of_o her_o garment_n and_o remain_v the_o same_o body_n for_o substance_n in_o nature_n and_o matter_n though_o differ_v only_o in_o appearance_n for_o the_o church_n which_o be_v the_o true_a church_n of_o christ_n be_v not_o thus_o reform_v only_o change_v in_o part_n and_o alter_v in_o degree_n but_o the_o true_a church_n deny_v the_o church_n of_o rome_n in_o she_o very_o be_v and_o ground_n and_o in_o all_o her_o practice_n whatsoever_o for_o though_o many_o sect_n have_v rise_v one_o from_o another_o yet_o all_o the_o same_o for_o substance_n only_o differ_v in_o particular_n but_o as_o for_o you_o to_o who_o this_o particular_a be_v write_v that_o worship_n god_n in_o steeplehouse_n you_o be_v not_o so_o much_o differ_v from_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n as_o many_o other_o be_v which_o be_v not_o true_a church_n neither_o but_o the_o lord_n god_n be_v now_o gather_v his_o people_n wherefore_o come_v out_o of_o your_o idol-worship_n and_o idol-temple_n for_o god_n dwell_v not_o in_o they_o nor_o be_v not_o worship_v there_o but_o he_o dwell_v and_o walk_v in_o his_o saint_n and_o be_v worship_v in_o spirit_n and_o in_o truth_n and_o his_o day_n be_v dawn_v and_o his_o glory_n be_v rise_v and_o he_o will_v confound_v this_o church_n and_o ministry_n which_o bear_v the_o mark_n of_o the_o romish_a whore_n and_o have_v her_o symptom_n and_o character_n remain_v upon_o they_o unto_o this_o day_n as_o it_o be_v manifest_a and_o though_o some_o may_v object_v and_o say_v that_o god_n command_v a_o temple_n to_o be_v build_v for_o the_o worship_n of_o his_o name_n and_o ordinance_n to_o be_v practise_v in_o the_o time_n of_o the_o old_a covenant_n to_o which_o i_o do_v say_v yea_o it_o be_v so_o a_o temple_n be_v build_v by_o solomon_n for_o the_o seed_n of_o the_o jew_n to_o worship_n in_o and_o to_o come_v to_o sacrifice_v to_o the_o lord_n in_fw-la and_o there_o be_v a_o outward_a worship_n and_o ordinance_n but_o it_o be_v many_o hundred_o year_n since_o this_o temple_n be_v destroy_v and_o worship_n and_o ordinance_n throw_v down_o which_o god_n once_o command_v and_o his_o people_n once_o practise_v and_o christ_n the_o life_n the_o power_n and_o wisdom_n of_o god_n be_v the_o substance_n thereof_o and_o unto_o who_o he_o be_v make_v manifest_a and_o in_o who_o he_o be_v reveal_v in_o the_o spirit_n they_o utter_o renounce_v and_o deny_v the_o temple_n and_o the_o worship_n therein_o though_o god_n once_o have_v command_v it_o and_o the_o saint_n after_o the_o manifest_n of_o christ_n to_o they_o in_o spirit_n and_o after_o that_o the_o holy_a ghost_n be_v give_v we_o do_v not_o find_v through_o all_o the_o church_n of_o the_o saint_n that_o they_o worship_v in_o the_o temple_n of_o the_o jew_n but_o witness_v against_o it_o and_o say_v that_o god_n dwell_v not_o in_o temple_n make_v with_o hand_n neither_o be_v he_o worship_v in_o temple_n make_v with_o hand_n but_o in_o the_o spirit_n and_o in_o the_o truth_n their_o worship_n consist_v and_o therefore_o be_v persecute_v but_o they_o bear_v witness_n against_o the_o temple_n and_o the_o worship_n and_o those_o ordinance_n which_o god_n once_o have_v command_v and_o which_o once_o his_o people_n practise_v though_o it_o be_v to_o the_o peril_n of_o their_o life_n but_o as_o for_o these_o temple_n and_o these_o ordinance_n and_o this_o worship_n which_o be_v now_o on_o foot_n they_o be_v never_o bring_v forth_o by_o any_o ordination_n or_o commandment_n of_o god_n but_o the_o foundation_n of_o they_o be_v the_o invention_n of_o man_n and_o man_n tradition_n teach_v they_o and_o not_o the_o spirit_n of_o the_o lord_n and_o therefore_o against_o those_o thing_n those_o temple_n and_o those_o ordinance_n and_o worship_n much_o reason_n have_v we_o to_o cry_v against_o they_o all_o as_o be_v neither_o
