increase_v i_o will_v set_v shepherd_n also_o over_o they_o which_o shall_v feed_v they_o &_o there_o shall_v none_o of_o they_o be_v lose_v say_v the_o lord_n now_o mark_v and_o consider_v you_o priest_n of_o england_n be_v not_o this_o your_o own_o condition_n be_v not_o you_o scatter_v the_o people_n abroad_o as_o it_o be_v sow_v pillow_n under_o their_o elbow_n in_o tell_v they_o that_o there_o be_v no_o perfection_n in_o this_o life_n and_o though_o they_o continue_v in_o sin_n yet_o when_o they_o die_v they_o shall_v be_v save_v by_o the_o death_n of_o christ_n when_o as_o in_o the_o least_o measure_n you_o have_v not_o bring_v they_o to_o that_o which_o be_v the_o first_o step_n to_o know_v christ_n by_o which_o be_v the_o light_n of_o christ_n manifest_v within_o they_o so_o you_o as_o it_o be_v thrust_v they_o away_o from_o the_o knowledge_n of_o christ_n deceive_v they_o tell_v they_o that_o that_o which_o be_v a_o true_a witness_n of_o christ_n within_o they_o be_v but_o the_o light_n of_o nature_n or_o something_o of_o a_o little_a value_n which_o i_o bear_v a_o testimony_n for_o will_v lead_v they_o into_o the_o way_n of_o truth_n and_o so_o to_o the_o true_a knowledge_n of_o christ_n jesus_n i_o have_v see_v say_v the_o lord_n also_o among_o the_o prophet_n foul_a adultery_n and_o presumptuous_a yes_o they_o take_v the_o most_o shameful_a man_n by_o the_o hand_n flatter_v they_o so_o that_o they_o can_v return_v from_o their_o wickedness_n now_o mark_v and_o consider_v be_v not_o this_o your_o condition_n if_o any_o of_o the_o servant_n of_o the_o lord_n be_v send_v with_o a_o message_n from_o the_o lord_n to_o the_o people_n and_o any_o wicked_a man_n lie_v violent_a hand_n upon_o they_o you_o do_v as_o it_o be_v take_v they_o by_o the_o hand_n and_o join_v with_o they_o in_o imprison_v they_o and_o whip_v they_o stocking_n they_o ston_a they_o &_o despiteful_a use_v they_o declare_v to_o the_o people_n that_o they_o be_v seducer_n deceiver_n jesuit_n deluder_n vomit_v out_o most_o false_o all_o manner_n of_o lie_n against_o they_o so_o that_o you_o keep_v the_o people_n that_o they_o can_v return_v from_o their_o wickedness_n therefore_o dear_a friend_n and_o people_n turn_v your_o mind_n to_o that_o of_o christ_n within_o you_o which_o make_v know_v unto_o you_o all_o the_o evil_a of_o your_o do_n whereof_o i_o be_o a_o witness_n to_o this_o day_n and_o as_o you_o come_v to_o mind_v it_o it_o will_v show_v you_o the_o intent_n and_o secret_n of_o your_o heart_n &_o bring_v to_o light_v the_o work_n which_o be_v not_o wrought_v in_o god_n and_o turn_v away_o from_o these_o dumb_a shepherd_n which_o no_o long_o than_o you_o be_v put_v into_o their_o mouth_n will_v speak_v to_o you_o and_o consider_v what_o you_o have_v profit_v by_o they_o how_o many_o of_o you_o have_v be_v under_o their_o ministry_n some_o thirty_o some_o forty_o year_n some_o more_o some_o less_o but_o what_o can_v you_o witness_v as_o in_o the_o presence_n of_o god_n you_o have_v profit_v by_o they_o therefore_o thus_o say_v the_o lord_n i_o have_v not_o send_v these_o prophet_n and_o yet_o they_o run_v i_o have_v not_o speak_v to_o they_o and_o yet_o they_o preach_v but_o if_o they_o have_v continue_v in_o my_o counsel_n they_o have_v open_v to_o my_o people_n my_o word_n and_o they_o have_v turn_v my_o people_n from_o their_o evil_a way_n and_o wicked_a imagination_n therefore_o dear_a friend_n consider_v how_o many_o thousand_o have_v be_v follower_n of_o they_o these_o many_o year_n and_o still_o continue_v in_o their_o evil_a way_n and_o wicked_a imagination_n therefore_o thus_o say_v the_o lord_n hear_v not_o the_o word_n of_o the_o prophet_n that_o preach_v unto_o you_o and_o deceive_v you_o true_o they_o teach_v you_o vanity_n for_o they_o speak_v the_o meaning_n of_o their_o own_o heart_n and_o not_o out_o of_o the_o mouth_n of_o the_o lord_n consider_v i_o pray_v you_o do_v not_o the_o priest_n of_o england_n at_o this_o day_n speak_v divination_n of_o their_o own_o brain_n take_v other_o man_n line_n &_o speak_v from_o they_o their_o own_o thought_n not_o witness_v in_o the_o least_o the_o life_n and_o power_n of_o those_o that_o speak_v those_o word_n therefore_o in_o love_n to_o your_o soul_n do_v i_o warn_v you_o to_o turn_v to_o the_o witness_n of_o christ_n within_o you_o which_o will_v guide_v you_o into_o the_o way_n of_o truth_n which_o will_v bring_v you_o to_o the_o father_n for_o say_v christ_n i_o be_o the_o way_n the_o truth_n and_o the_o life_n no_o man_n come_v to_o the_o father_n but_o by_o i_o so_o now_o here_o be_v set_v before_o you_o the_o way_n to_o god_n here_o i_o say_v be_v set_v before_o you_o life_n and_o death_n thus_o say_v the_o lord_n god_n which_o gather_v together_o the_o scatter_a people_n i_o will_v bring_v yet_o another_o congregation_n to_o he_o come_v all_o you_o beast_n of_o the_o field_n that_o you_o may_v devour_v all_o the_o beast_n of_o the_o wood_n for_o his_o watchman_n be_v all_o blind_a they_o have_v altogether_o no_o understanding_n they_o be_v all_o dumb_a dog_n not_o be_v able_a to_o bark_v they_o be_v sleepy_a sluggish_a be_v they_o and_o lie_v snort_v the_o shepherd_n have_v no_o understanding_n but_o every_o man_n turn_v his_o own_o way_n every_o one_o after_o his_o own_o covetousness_n with_o all_o his_o power_n therefore_o friend_n &_o people_n consider_v in_o the_o fear_n of_o the_o lord_n i_o speak_v in_o love_n to_o your_o soul_n be_v not_o this_o the_o condition_n of_o the_o priest_n of_o england_n at_o this_o day_n be_v they_o not_o covetous_a do_v they_o not_o preach_v for_o hire_v do_v they_o not_o seek_v for_o large_a preferment_n do_v they_o not_o leave_v their_o flock_n and_o go_v from_o one_o place_n to_o another_o for_o large_a revenue_n do_v they_o not_o seek_v for_o gain_v from_o their_o quarter_n and_o if_o you_o do_v not_o give_v they_o do_v they_o not_o prepare_v prison_n for_o you_o therefore_o thus_o say_v the_o lord_n the_o righteous_a perish_v and_o no_o man_n regard_v it_o in_o his_o heart_n godly_a people_n be_v take_v away_o and_o no_o man_n consider_v it_o therefore_o thus_o say_v the_o lord_n turn_v you_o turn_v you_o why_o will_v you_o die_v as_o i_o live_v i_o do_v not_o desire_v the_o death_n of_o a_o sinner_n harken_v diligent_o unto_o i_o for_o lo_o say_v the_o lord_n i_o will_v teach_v you_o wise_o and_o now_o i_o have_v a_o word_n to_o you_o of_o the_o baptize_v church_n you_o that_o say_v you_o be_v the_o church_n of_o christ_n and_o none_o but_o you_o take_v heed_n and_o do_v not_o go_v forth_o in_o imitation_n of_o the_o apostle_n into_o wash_n and_o dipping_n and_o break_v of_o bread_n and_o lay_v on_o of_o hand_n not_o have_v the_o same_o call_v which_o the_o apostle_n have_v but_o come_v down_o to_o the_o witness_n of_o god_n within_o you_o and_o there_o see_v with_o the_o light_n of_o christ_n within_o you_o whether_o you_o be_v baptize_v yourselves_o with_o christ_n baptism_n which_o be_v with_o the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o with_o fire_n see_v within_o you_o if_o you_o have_v pass_v through_o the_o fire_n which_o john_n speak_v of_o very_o say_v john_n i_o baptize_v with_o water_n but_o there_o come_v one_o after_o i_o which_o will_v baptize_v with_o the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o with_o fire_n which_o be_v christ_n baptism_n so_o i_o say_v come_v to_o see_v yourselves_o first_o baptize_v with_o christ_n baptism_n before_o you_o go_v forth_o to_o baptize_v other_o for_o very_o say_v christ_n i_o will_v not_o be_v worship_v in_o temple_n make_v with_o hand_n neither_o with_o any_o outward_a observation_n but_o he_o that_o worship_v i_o shall_v worship_v in_o spirit_n and_o in_o truth_n for_o my_o dwell_n be_v among_o the_o son_n of_o man_n i_o desire_v every_o one_o that_o read_v this_o to_o read_v with_o the_o light_n of_o christ_n within_o they_o for_o many_o false_a thing_n be_v cast_v upon_o the_o child_n of_o light_n for_o beat_v their_o testimony_n for_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n have_v nothing_o just_o to_o lay_v to_o their_o charge_n let_v all_o sober_a people_n which_o come_v to_o read_v this_o judge_v of_o it_o whether_o these_o who_o false_o accuse_v the_o upright_a and_o innocent_a be_v not_o shut_v out_o from_o the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n yea_o or_o nay_o when_o christ_n say_v he_o will_v judge_v every_o one_o according_a to_o the_o deed_n do_v in_o the_o body_n whether_o good_a or_o evil_n i_o warn_v you_o in_o the_o feaâ—_n and_o dread_n of_o the_o lord_n that_o you_o let_v the_o time_n satisfy_v which_o you_o have_v spend_v in_o your_o pride_n &_o wicked_a word_n and_o action_n against_o the_o pure_a spirit_n of_o the_o
lord_n jesus_n christ_n for_o it_o will_v not_o satisfy_v he_o that_o you_o say_v you_o know_v he_o and_o with_o your_o lip_n profess_v he_o and_o deny_v he_o in_o his_o work_n and_o in_o his_o way_n you_o be_v find_v in_o false_a accuse_v lie_a and_o slander_v and_o with_o all_o manner_n of_o unclean_a word_n work_n and_o action_n for_o they_o that_o bear_v their_o testimony_n for_o he_o &_o against_o unclean_a spirit_n be_v make_v by_o his_o power_n to_o declare_v against_o they_o where_o ever_o they_o come_v they_o reckon_v we_o as_o heretic_n but_o it_o be_v little_a to_o we_o for_o reproach_n be_v our_o riches_n but_o it_o be_v none_o but_o they_o who_o be_v of_o that_o generation_n which_o call_v the_o master_n of_o the_o house_n beelzebub_n the_o prince_n of_o devil_n which_o be_v find_v in_o the_o evil_a practice_n now_o but_o this_o be_v the_o day_n of_o the_o lord_n power_n wherein_o light_n be_v come_v into_o the_o world_n but_o man_n love_v darkness_n rather_o than_o light_n because_o their_o deed_n be_v evil_a they_o will_v not_o come_v to_o i_o that_o they_o may_v have_v life_n that_o their_o deed_n which_o be_v evil_a may_v be_v judge_v and_o such_o as_o be_v act_v in_o the_o light_n justify_v and_o they_o reconcile_v unto_o i_o say_v christ_n and_o we_o that_o be_v the_o child_n of_o the_o lord_n do_v bear_v our_o testimony_n that_o this_o be_v the_o day_n which_o the_o lord_n will_v pour_v out_o his_o spirit_n upon_o all_o flesh_n his_o son_n and_o daughter_n shall_v prophesy_v and_o this_o be_v the_o day_n wherein_o he_o be_v manifest_v his_o power_n among_o the_o son_n of_o man_n and_o make_v know_v his_o mind_n to_o his_o son_n and_o to_o his_o daughter_n therefore_o fear_v and_o tremble_v before_o the_o lord_n all_o you_o that_o live_v in_o the_o world_n without_o a_o god_n what_o will_v you_o do_v in_o the_o day_n of_o your_o calamity_n when_o the_o lord_n god_n shall_v come_v to_o call_v you_o to_o judgement_n to_o give_v account_n for_o what_o you_o have_v do_v in_o the_o flesh_n whether_o it_o be_v good_a or_o evil_n therefore_o hear_v the_o word_n of_o the_o lord_n all_o you_o that_o make_v a_o mock_n of_o the_o
