have_v lay_v their_o hand_n upon_o they_o and_o therefore_o they_o be_v minister_n to_o 61._o this_o the_o nonconformist_n do_v answer_n that_o when_o the_o bishop_n have_v lay_v his_o hand_n on_o they_o that_o then_o they_o be_v no_o more_o minister_n than_o they_o be_v before_o but_o there_o be_v no_o need_n to_o spend_v much_o time_n to_o prove_v 154._o these_o man_n ministry_n false_a and_o unlawful_a see_v none_o will_v reply_v for_o they_o that_o have_v any_o spark_n of_o piety_n to_o god_n or_o pity_n towards_o his_o people_n only_o some_o nonresidents_a that_o keep_v poor_a underling_n or_o greedy_a patron_n that_o will_v have_v the_o light_n of_o the_o gospel_n die_v or_o poor_a ignorant_a people_n that_o will_v live_v at_o their_o own_o will_n in_o all_o licentiousness_n these_o happy_o will_v undertake_v the_o plea_n against_o christ_n but_o it_o be_v better_o their_o tongue_n shall_v cleave_v to_o the_o roof_n of_o their_o mouth_n then_o that_o they_o shall_v once_o dare_v go_v about_o the_o overthrow_n of_o christ_n ministry_n and_o be_v not_o this_o a_o ground_n of_o separation_n yes_o very_o and_o if_o the_o nonconformist_n will_v stand_v to_o it_o i_o will_v hence_o prove_v a_o necessity_n to_o separate_v from_o all_o spiritual_a communion_n with_o the_o great_a number_n of_o their_o parish_n assembly_n and_o thus_o i_o reason_n a_o dumb_a ministry_n be_v unlawful_a and_o false_a be_v to_o be_v separate_v from_o their_o minister_n for_o the_o great_a part_n be_v dumb_a minister_n therefore_o it_o be_v lawful_a to_o separate_v from_o the_o great_a part_n of_o their_o minister_n the_o proposition_n be_v manifest_a and_o clear_a and_o i_o dare_v say_v they_o will_v not_o deny_v it_o for_o beside_o the_o reason_n already_o give_v it_o be_v confident_o by_o they_o affirm_v that_o a_o read_a ministry_n can_v deliver_v the_o lord_n holy_a seal_n unto_o the_o people_n without_o great_a sacrilege_n nor_o the_o people_n receive_v at_o the_o hand_n of_o such_o without_o dreadful_a sin_n and_o whosoever_o list_v to_o read_v the_o place_n he_o 26._o shall_v see_v many_o effectual_a argument_n lay_v down_o by_o the_o author_n to_o prove_v it_o and_o this_o be_v not_o the_o judgement_n of_o one_o alone_a but_o other_o of_o they_o affirm_v it_o to_o be_v a_o unlawful_a thing_n to_o join_v with_o read_v minister_n in_o any_o ministerial_a duty_n either_o in_o pray_v or_o administer_a etc._n the_o sacrament_n and_o he_o give_v 10_o worthy_a reason_n for_o it_o the_o assumption_n i_o prove_v also_o by_o their_o own_o testimony_n for_o they_o say_v that_o general_o throughout_o the_o land_n 5._o there_o be_v six_o read_v priest_n to_o one_o preacher_n yea_o other_o of_o they_o do_v affirm_v that_o where_o the_o bb._n ordain_v one_o minister_n that_o can_v preach_v they_o make_v twenty_o that_o can_v not_o so_o that_o there_o be_v many_o thousand_o church_n in_o england_n without_o preacher_n defenc._n pet._n for_o refor_o 130._o and_o in_o some_o shire_n people_n must_v go_v 14_o or_o 20_o mile_n to_o hear_v a_o sermon_n defence_n against_o bridg._n p._n 49._o now_o i_o wish_v they_o to_o consider_v well_o of_o thes_n thing_n &_o to_o labour_v what_o they_o can_v for_o their_o brethren_n deliverance_n out_o of_o these_o spiritual_a robber_n and_o murderer_n hand_n he_o that_o shall_v come_v to_o a_o deep_a pit_n or_o well_o wherein_o do_v lie_v many_o people_n almost_o perish_v if_o he_o shall_v see_v there_o some_o of_o they_o come_v forth_o from_o the_o rest_n will_v we_o not_o judge_v he_o a_o unmerciful_a and_o cruel_a man_n if_o he_o shall_v rather_o seek_v to_o cast_v they_o in_o again_o then_o to_o help_v out_o the_o other_o behind_o in_o misery_n such_o as_o live_v under_o a_o dumb_a ministry_n by_o the_o nonconformist_n confession_n be_v in_o a_o far_o worse_a case_n therefore_o i_o hope_v hereafter_o they_o will_v give_v no_o more_o carnal_a counsel_n to_o persuade_v those_o which_o be_v escape_v to_o come_v back_o into_o that_o pit_n again_o but_o rather_o will_v seek_v to_o draw_v out_o the_o rest_n as_o their_o duty_n be_v to_o do_v second_o for_o the_o work_n which_o these_o idle_a reader_n do_v we_o shall_v have_v a_o fit_a place_n hereafter_o to_o speak_v of_o it_o only_o by_o the_o way_n i_o think_v good_a to_o set_v down_o here_o one_o of_o their_o passage_n which_o be_v that_o bare_a read_n of_o the_o word_n and_o single_a service_n say_v it_o be_v bare_a feed_n and_o rather_o a_o english_a baru._n popery_n than_o a_o true_a christian_a ministry_n yea_o it_o be_v as_o evil_a as_o play_v upon_o a_o stage_n and_o worse_a too_o for_o player_n learn_v their_o part_n without_o book_n but_o these_o at_o least_o many_o of_o they_o 10._o can_v scarce_o read_v within_o book_n how_o be_v their_o service_n say_v as_o bad_a as_o stage_n play_v what_o and_o worse_a too_o true_o than_o it_o be_v bad_a enough_o and_o far_o be_v it_o from_o the_o lord_n people_n to_o hear_v it_o for_o if_o they_o shall_v do_v so_o they_o will_v sacrifice_v unto_o the_o lord_n a_o corrupt_a thing_n and_o so_o be_v liable_a just_o to_o 14._o that_o curse_n in_o malachi_n thus_o much_o for_o their_o dumb_a ministry_n it_o follow_v next_o that_o we_o speak_v of_o their_o parson_n vicar_n parish_n priest_n stipendary_n and_o chaplain_n if_o you_o will_v know_v say_v the_o nonconformist_n whence_o all_o these_o come_v we_o can_v easy_o 16._o answer_v you_o that_o they_o come_v from_o the_o pope_n as_o out_o of_o the_o trojan_a horse_n belly_n to_o the_o destruction_n of_o god_n kingdom_n it_o be_v certain_a that_o their_o name_n and_o office_n be_v whole_o baru._n from_o that_o roman_a antichrist_n never_o institute_v either_o by_o christ_n or_o his_o apostle_n for_o the_o church_n of_o god_n never_o know_v they_o neither_o do_v any_o reform_a church_n in_o the_o world_n know_v they_o these_o be_v cloud_n without_o rain_n tree_n without_o fruit_n paint_a sepulcher_n full_a of_o dead_a bone_n fat_v in_o all_o abundance_n of_o iniquity_n such_o as_o seek_v not_o the_o lord_n jesus_n but_o their_o own_o belly_n mr._n bale_n in_o his_o exposition_n upon_o the_o revelation_n 13._o speak_v the_o same_o that_o these_o be_v the_o very_a name_n of_o blasphemy_n write_v upon_o the_o beast_n head_n against_o the_o lord_n and_o his_o christ_n their_o office_n be_v not_o appoint_v by_o the_o holy_a ghost_n nor_o yet_o mention_v in_o the_o scripture_n here_o be_v enough_o speak_v for_o the_o condemnation_n of_o their_o call_n and_o for_o the_o justification_n of_o separation_n from_o all_o communion_n therewith_o from_o hence_o i_o may_v frame_v this_o argument_n whosoever_o he_o be_v that_o deal_v with_o the_o holy_a thing_n of_o god_n and_o work_v upon_o the_o conscience_n of_o man_n by_o virtue_n of_o a_o antichristian_a power_n office_n and_o call_v him_z the_o people_n of_o god_n ought_v not_o to_o receive_v or_o join_v themselves_o unto_o but_o all_o the_o parson_n vicar_n parish_n priest_n stipendary_n etc._n etc._n that_o stand_v over_o the_o church_n assembly_n in_o england_n deal_v with_o the_o holy_a thing_n of_o god_n and_o work_v upon_o man_n conscience_n by_o virtue_n of_o a_o antichristian_a power_n office_n and_o call_v therefoee_o the_o people_n of_o god_n ought_v not_o to_o receive_v they_o or_o to_o join_v themselves_o unto_o they_o the_o first_o part_n of_o this_o reason_n the_o nonconformist_n do_v yield_v willing_o unto_o as_o it_o be_v to_o be_v see_v in_o a_o treatise_n between_o mr._n fr._n io._n and_o mr._n hild_n about_o the_o ministry_n of_o england_n as_o for_o the_o other_o part_n i_o hope_v they_o will_v not_o now_o deny_v it_o see_v they_o have_v publish_v it_o open_o and_o often_o to_o the_o world_n yea_o and_o many_o of_o they_o suffer_v grievous_a persecution_n at_o the_o hand_n of_o the_o prelate_n for_o affirm_v it_o and_o other_o truth_n of_o this_o nature_n but_o to_o keep_v they_o to_o their_o own_o ground_n in_o the_o assumption_n i_o will_v here_o lay_v down_o another_o argument_n if_o their_o parson_n vicar_n parish_n priest_n stipendary_n etc._n etc._n be_v neither_o in_o election_n nor_o ordination_n make_v minister_n agreeable_o to_o god_n word_n they_o be_v their_o ministry_n false_a unlawful_a antichristian_a and_o so_o consequent_o they_o deal_v with_o the_o holy_a thing_n of_o god_n etc._n etc._n as_o be_v before_o say_v but_o neither_o in_o their_o election_n nor_o ordination_n be_v they_o make_v minister_n according_a to_o god_n word_n therefore_o be_v their_o ministry_n false_a unlawful_a antichristian_a etc._n etc._n both_o these_o proposition_n i_o will_v prove_v true_a by_o their_o own_o write_n of_o the_o first_o thus_o they_o say_v a_o due_a examination_n of_o learning_n and_o life_n go_v before_o the_o free_a consent_n of_o the_o church_n who_o it_o
