Whereupon the said parties were received with greater love amongst the fellow-creatures at Langley , and the said W. L. entertained , and who but he with the Parson and his , &c. And so they continue great friends for a good space ; but when the differences first arose between Webbe and his Mistress , this Lewis and his wife assist Mistress W. and chargeth the Parson , as you may see formerly expressed ; wherefore the Parson resolves to call them to an accompt for taking parties with the weaker vessell against the mighty male Ranter . Yet M. Stokes confesseth that about four years since he heard the said Parson preach in the Parish Church of Largley a very unprofitable Sermon , without any life , power , or appearance of the spirit of God , shewing the Auditory how much and how often they should eat and drink ; when he ought rather to shew that that which enters into the body defileth not , but that from the heart proceeds murthers , adulteries and the like , and to have indeavoured to have made clean the inside of the cup and platter , for till the heart be cleansed and purified through the presence of the Spirit of Christ , there can be no Christian watchfulnesse , nor imitation of a divine life : These with all observations of meats and drinks perish with the using , and are bodily exercises which profit little ; and this way of preaching by Tho. Webb was friendly reproved by M. Stokes , who then seemed to take it well , and a little after confest to M. Stokes that he had not the assistance of the Spirit of God in his preaching , as formerly , but now this reproof is become a crime to make up the Masse of Malice . keywords: aforesaid; creatures; day; deponent; fellow; god; hath; house; justices; langley; lewis; life; m. stokes; m. w.; m. webb; malice; man; masse; mistress; parson; parson webb; ranting; saith; self; time; way; webbe; white; wife; woman cache: A93926.xml plain text: A93926.txt
