EEBO-TCP is a partnership between the Universities of Michigan and Oxford and the publisher ProQuest to create accurately transcribed and encoded texts based on the image sets published by ProQuest via their Early English Books Online (EEBO) database (http://eebo.chadwyck.com). The general aim of EEBO-TCP is to encode one copy (usually the first edition) of every monographic English-language title published between 1473 and 1700 available in EEBO.
EEBO-TCP aimed to produce large quantities of textual data within the usual project restraints of time and funding, and therefore chose to create diplomatic transcriptions (as opposed to critical editions) with light-touch, mainly structural encoding based on the Text Encoding Initiative (http://www.tei-c.org).
The EEBO-TCP project was divided into two phases. The 25,363 texts created during Phase 1 of the project have been released into the public domain as of 1 January 2015. Anyone can now take and use these texts for their own purposes, but we respectfully request that due credit and attribution is given to their original source.
Users should be aware of the process of creating the TCP texts, and therefore of any assumptions that can be made about the data.
Text selection was based on the New Cambridge Bibliography of English Literature (NCBEL). If an author (or for an anonymous work, the title) appears in NCBEL, then their works are eligible for inclusion. Selection was intended to range over a wide variety of subject areas, to reflect the true nature of the print record of the period. In general, first editions of a works in English were prioritized, although there are a number of works in other languages, notably Latin and Welsh, included and sometimes a second or later edition of a work was chosen if there was a compelling reason to do so.
Image sets were sent to external keying companies for transcription and basic encoding. Quality assurance was then carried out by editorial teams in Oxford and Michigan. 5% (or 5 pages, whichever is the greater) of each text was proofread for accuracy and those which did not meet QA standards were returned to the keyers to be redone. After proofreading, the encoding was enhanced and/or corrected and characters marked as illegible were corrected where possible up to a limit of 100 instances per text. Any remaining illegibles were encoded as <gap>s. Understanding these processes should make clear that, while the overall quality of TCP data is very good, some errors will remain and some readable characters will be marked as illegible. Users should bear in mind that in all likelihood such instances will never have been looked at by a TCP editor.
The texts were encoded and linked to page images in accordance with level 4 of the TEI in Libraries guidelines.
Copies of the texts have been issued variously as SGML (TCP schema; ASCII text with mnemonic sdata character entities); displayable XML (TCP schema; characters represented either as UTF-8 Unicode or text strings within braces); or lossless XML (TEI P5, characters represented either as UTF-8 Unicode or TEI g elements).

A

and

of
God
;

against
the
Corruption
of
the
Clergy
,
&c.
FRiends

every
where

in

Places
where
this

this
is
to
let
you
know
,
there
is
something
in
my
Heart
and
Mind
for
to
publish
,
and
to
make
manifest
unto
all
People
that
profess
Christianity
,
and
Salvation
by
Christ
,
what
the
Clergy-Men
of
the
World
hold
forth
,
both
the
Popish
Clergy
and
the
Protestant
Clergy
,
both
in
Doctrine
,
Principles
and
Practices
;
and
also
their
manner
of
Doings
and
Practices
,
as
touching
the
Worship
and
Service
of
God
;
and
also
their
Persecutions
and
Cruelties
which
they
and
their
Hearers
,
and
Members
of
their
Churches
have
acted
and
done
against
the
People
of
God
,
who
are
in
scorn
called
Quakers
,
and
will
undertake
by
the
help
and
assistance
of
the
Lord
,
to
prove
these
things
to
be
true
,
which
is
,
or
may
be
herein
,
and
hereafter
expressed
and
declared
against
them
,
which
are
as
followeth
.
First
,
I
do
affirm
,
that
neither
the
Popish
Clergy
,
nor
the
Protestant
Clergy
,
nor
their
Hearers
that
are
Members
of
their
Churches
,
neither
can
,
nor
never
shall
know
Jesus
Christ
experimentally
to
be
their
Saviour
and
Redeemer
from
their
Sins
and
Iniquities
,
as
the
true
Ministers
and
People
of
God
did
know
him
formerly
,
and
as
the
true
Ministers
and
People
of
God
know
him
now
in
this
our
Age
and
Generation
,
to
their
and
our
Souls
true
peace
,
joy
,
comfort
and
satisfaction
in
God
;
neither
can
they
ever
know
the
Mystery
of
Godliness
by
experience
revealed
in
them
,
nor
they
cannot
have
a
true
belief
in
Christ
,
as
the
Ministers
and
People
of
God
had
,
and
have
now
,
so
long
as
they
live
and
act
in
Sin
,
and
take
pleasure
and
delight
therein
,
and
plead
for
a
continuance
in
Sin
so
long
as
they
live
upon
the
Earth
.
And
it
is
the
Doctrine
and
Belief
of
the
Clergy-Men
,
before
mentioned
,
and
the
People
that
are
their
Hearers
,
and
Members
of
their
Churches
,
That
none
can
be
set
free
from
Sin
,
nor
be
made
perfect
from
it
in
this
Life
;
and
so
they
preach
against
Perfection
from
Sin
,
which
God
and
Christ
commanded
that
People
should
be
perfect
and
holy
;
and
are
God
and
Christ
such
hard
Masters
as
to
command
that
of
People
for
them
to
do
,
which
cannot
be
done
nor
attained
unto
in
this
Life
?
But
the
Ministers
of
Christ
never
preached
any
such
Doctrine
,
but
on
the
contrary
,
they
preached
Perfection
from
Sin
,
and
exhorted
the
People
to
press
after
Perfection
;
and
the
Lord
gave
Gifts
unto
men
,
and
he
made
some
Apostles
,
and
some
Evangelists
,
and
some
P●●ph●●●
,
and
some
Pastors
and
Teachers
,
for
the
perfecting
of
the
Saints
,
and
for
the
Work
of
the
Ministry
,
and
for
the
Edifying
of
the
Body
of
Christ
,
until
they
all
came
into
the
unity
of
the
Faith
,
and
of
the
Knowledge
of
the
Son
of
God
unto
a
Perfect
Man
,
unto
the
measure
of
the
Stature
●f
the
fulness
of
Christ
.
And
many
of
the
People
of
God
did
attain
to
Perfection
from
Sin
in
this
Life
,
and
they
did
know
an
Overcoming
of
their
Sins
and
Iniquities
in
this
Life
,
by
the
help
and
assistance
of
the
Power
and
Spirit
of
Christ
working
in
them
:
And
no
Man
nor
Woman
can
be
perfect
from
Sin
of
themselves
,
nor
by
any
Works
of
Righteousness
which
they
can
do
of
themselves
,
nor
by
their
own
Wills
,
but
by
the
help
and
assistance
of
the
Power
and
Spirit
of
Christ
working
in
them
;
and
so
all
things
are
possible
with
God
,
which
may
seem
impossible
to
men
;
and
the
Lord
is
the
same
that
he
was
then
,
and
he
is
as
able
,
and
sufficient
,
&
willing
to
do
the
like
for
us
,
&
to
work
the
same
Works
in
our
Hearts
by
his
holy
Spirit
,
as
he
did
in
the
Hearts
of
his
People
formerly
,
if
we
do
but
truly
believe
in
him
,
and
be
willing
for
to
obey
and
follow
him
,
by
taking
up
a
daily
Cross
to
our
own
Wills
,
and
Thoughts
,
and
Desires
,
and
Inclinations
of
nature
,
and
so
thereby
we
must
deny
our selves
from
doing
any
thing
that
will
please
our selves
,
if
it
do
offend
the
Lord
,
and
displease
him
,
we
must
not
do
it
for
the
gaining
of
the
love
and
friendship
of
any
people
,
nor
for
the
gaining
of
any
outward
Thing
,
or
Treasure
that
is
in
the
World
:
And
we
are
required
and
commanded
by
the
Lord
for
to
put
our
whole
trust
and
confidence
in
him
,
who
hath
promised
,
that
he
will
never
leave
nor
forsake
them
that
puts
their
whole
trust
&
confidence
in
him
.
And
these
things
the
Lord
commanded
and
required
●is
people
for
to
do
formerly
,
which
they
did
in
Love
and
in
Obedience
to
him
,
and
the
Lord
was
with
them
,
and
in
them
,
by
his
holy
Spirit
,
and
he
did
help
and
〈…〉
Spirit
for
to
do
and
perform
those
things
〈…〉
required
of
them
for
to
do
;
and
this
he
〈…〉
d
truly
believe
and
follow
him
,
and
for
all
them
〈…〉
fear
and
love
him
with
all
their
Hearts
,
above
all
〈…〉
gs
.
And
now
the
Lord
commands
and
requires
us
for
to
do
the
〈◊〉
things
;
and
if
we
be
willing
and
obedient
to
him
,
and
fear
and
love
him
with
all
our
Hearts
,
above
all
visible
things
,
I
do
verily
believe
,
and
I
am
confident
in
the
Lord
,
that
he
will
help
and
assist
us
by
his
holy
Spirit
for
to
do
and
perform
all
things
which
he
commands
and
requires
of
us
for
to
do
and
perform
,
now
in
this
our
Age
and
Generation
;
but
all
them
that
do
not
truly
believe
in
Christ
,
nor
is
not
willing
for
to
obey
and
follow
him
,
nor
to
deny
themselves
as
aforesaid
,
and
counts
God
a
hard
Master
,
by
commanding
and
requiring
more
of
them
then
they
are
able
to
do
,
or
can
be
attained
unto
in
this
Life
,
as
they
say
;
it
is
manifest
unto
the
Lord
and
his
People
,
that
all
such
are
slothful
Servants
,
and
hide
their
Talents
in
their
earthly
Hearts
,
and
are
disobedient
to
him
,
such
neither
fear
nor
love
the
Lord
as
they
ought
to
do
,
nor
as
●e
commands
them
for
to
do
;
and
no
such
slothful
,
idle
,
careless
people
can
believe
that
Perfection
from
Sin
is
to
be
attained
unto
in
this
Life
,
neither
are
they
willing
to
press
after
such
a
good
State
and
Condition
;
and
so
he
who
they
love
and
serve
,
which
is
the
Enemy
of
their
Souls
in
them
,
prevails
against
them
,
and
teacheth
them
for
to
preach
and
speak
against
Perfection
from

And
further
I
do
affirm
,
that
all
that
preach
and
speak
against
Perfection
from
Sin
,
and
say
,
That
there
is
no
Perfection
from
Sin
can
be
attained
unto
in
this
Life
;
all
such
Persons
and
People
do
encourage
People
for
to
live
in
Sin
,
and
they
do
discourage
people
from
pressing
after
perfection
,
and
they
are
a
means
to
beget
people
into
Unbelief
,
that
they
may
not
believe
that
such
a
good
state
and
condition
is
to
be
attained
unto
in
this
Life
;
and
all
such
deny
the
sufficiency
of
Christ
,
and
the
end
of
his
coming
in
Spirit
,
into
the
Hearts
and
Souls
of
all
true
Christians
,
and
true
Believers
in
him
;
which
end
was
,
and
is
,
for
to
mortifie
,
and
to
kill
,
and
crucifie
Sin
,
and
to
destroy
the
Works
of
the
Devil
,
which
is
Sin
and
Iniquity
in
people
;
and
every
evil
Plant
which
the
Lord
hath
not
planted
,
which
hath
taken
deep
Root
in
people's
hearts
,
the
Lord
will
pluck
up
by
the
working
of
his
own
Power
and
Spirit
in
the
hearts
of
all
true
Christians
,
and
true
Believers
and
Followers
of
Christ
,
who
truly
love
and
obey
him
;
and
this
great
Work
of
Christ
must
be
known
and
witnessed
for
to
be
done
and
wrought
by
him
in
every
true
Christian
,
before
Christ
can
be
known
experimentally
for
to
reign
and
rule
in
the
hearts
and
souls
of
people
:
And
these
things
are
a
mystery
unto
all
that
live
in
Sin
,
and
take
pleasure
and
delight
therein
,
and
unto
all
the
proud
and
covetous
Clergy
that
are
in
the
whole
World
,
that
preach
for
Tythes
or
Money
,
and
are
hired
by
people
to
preach
for
so
much
Money
by
the
Year
,
which
the
true
Apostle
Paul
said
,
That
the
love
of
Money
was
the
Root
of
all
Evil
;
And
the
true
Ministers
of
Christ
hated
all
such
covetous
Practices
,
and
declared
against
them
;
and
Paul
said
,
I
have
coveted
no
man's
Silver
,
or
Gold
,
or
Apparel
;
ye
your selves
know
,
said
he
,
that
these
Hands
have
ministred
unto
my
Necessities
,
and
to
them
that
were
with
me
:
Who
was
a
Tent-maker
,
he
was
not
brought
up
at
any
Schools
of
Learning
for
to
be
made
a
Minister
of
Christ
;
nor
none
of
the
Ministers
of
Christ
were
brought
up
at
any
Schools
of
Learning
,
to
be
made
Ministers
of
Christ
,
but
several
of
them
were
ignorant
and
unlearned
men
,
as
to
outward
Learning
and
Scholarship
,
which
people
do
so
much
boast
of
;
but
they
were
brought
up
at
Christ's
School
,
and
they
were
taught
of
him
by
his
holy
Spirit
,
and
they
were
endued
with
Power
from
on
High
;
and
they
were
led
and
guided
by
Christ's
Spirit
into
all
Truth
,
and
out
of
all
the
wicked
&
ungodly
Ways
and
Practices
,
which
many
of
the
Clergy-Men
,
and
of
their
Hearers
before
mentioned
,
live
and
walk
in
now
.
And
the
Apostle
Paul
said
,
That
the
Gospel
which
he
preached
,
be
neither
received
of
Man
,
neither
was
he
taught
it
of
Man
,
but
by
the
Revelation
of
Jesus
Christ
,
and
he
preached
not
unto
any
people
with
inticing
Words
of
man's
Wisdom
,
nor
of
man's
Learning
;
but
he
preached
and
spoke
unto
the
people
in
the
Demonstration
of
the
Spirit
,
&
with
Power
,
that
their
Faith
should
not
stand
in
the
Wisdom
of
Men
,
but
in
the
Power
of
God
;
and
Christ
made
them
able
Ministers
of
the
New
Testament
,
not
of
the
Letter
,
but
of
the
Spirit
;
for
the
Letter
killeth
,
but
the
Spirit
giveth
Life
unto
the
Soul
:
And
so
the
Ministers
of
Christ
never
preached
such
a
Doctrine
,
as
these
covetous
Clergy-Men
do
now
:

And
you
that
preach
and
speak
against
Perfecti●n
〈…〉
Sin
,
and
say
,
none
can
be
set
free
from
Sin
in
this
Life
,
can
you
not
believe
that
Christ
Jesus
is
as
able
,
and
sufficient
,
and
willing
to
save
people
from
their
Sins
,
and
to
bring
them
to
a
perfect
state
from
Sin
,
according
as
God
created
Man
and
Woman
in
the
beginning
,
as
the
Devil
who
is
the
author
of
all
Sin
and
Evil
,
who
makes
his
Children
and
Servants
perfect
in
Sin
and
Wickedness
,
who
continue
to
the
end
of
their
days
,
to
obey
and
follow
him
,
and
are
led
and
guided
by
his
spirit
into
Sin
and
Evil
,
and
his
evil
Fruits
are
brought
forth
,
and
acted
and
done
daily
by
his
Children
and
Servants
,
to
the
great
dishonour
of
God
,
who
made
Man
and
Woman
for
to
love
,
fear
,
serve
and
honour
,
and
obey
him
,
in
Truth
and
Righteousness
,
and
to
live
and
walk
before
the
Lord
,
in
a
holy
,
godly
,
righteous
Life
,
in
all
manner
of
Holiness
and
Righteousness
,
in
our
holy
Lives
and
godly
Conversations
,
so
long
as
the
Lord
is
pleased
that
we
shall
live
upon
the
Earth
,
that
so
God
Almighty
may
be
honoured
and
glorified
in
us
,
and
by
us
,
that
so
we
may
answer
the
end
for
which
he
hath
made
and
created
us
,
which
is
to
fear
and
love
him
with
all
our
Hearts
,
which
if
we
do
so
in
Truth
,
then
we
shall
be
made
willing
by
the
Lord
for
to
obey
him
,
and
keep
his
commands
,
which
is
the
duty
of
every
one
so
to
do
.
And
now
,
all
you
that
do
not
believe
that
Perfection
from
Sin
can
be
attained
unto
,
and
that
not
any
can
be
set
free
from
Sin
in
this
Life
,
doth
not
your
Faith
and
Belief
stand
in
him
who
is
the
author
of
all
Sin
and
Evil
,
which
is
the
wicked
Spirit
?
And
your
faith
and
belief
stands
not
in
Christ
,
who
is
the
Author
of
Perfection
from
Sin
,
who
is
the
good
Spirit
,
and
saves
his
People
from
their
Sins
,
but
not
in
their
Sins
;
and
Christ
said
,
Whosoever
committeth
Sin
,
is
the
Servant
of
Sin.
And
the
Apostle
Paul
said
,
Know
ye
not
to
whom
ye
yield
your selves
Servants
to
obey
,
his
Servants
ye
are
to
whom
ye
do
obey
,
whether
of
Sin
that
leads
to
Death
and
Destruction
,
or
of
Obedience
unto
Righteousness
,
which
leads
to
Life
and
Peace
with
the
Lord.
And
so
long
as
People
live
in
Sin
,
and
are
Servants
to
it
,
they
are
free
from
Righteousness
;
and
the
Apostle
John
said
,
He
that
commiteth
Sin
is
of
the
Devil
:
and
he
said
,
He
that
is
born
of
God
sinneth
not
.

And
all
that
believe
that
they
cannot
be
set
free
from
Sin
so
long
as
they
live
in
this
World
,
they
know
nothing
of
the
New
Birth
experimentally
,
no
more
than
Nicodemus
did
,
which
was
a
Ruler
of
the
Jews
;
nor
no
such
persons
nor
people
that
plead
for
living
in
Sin
term
of
Life
,
they
know
nothing
by
expe●●ence
what
it
is
for
to
be
Regenerated
,
and
Born
again
of
Water
and
the
Spirit
,
without
which
inward
spiritual
knowledge
they
cannot
enter
into
the
Kingdom
of
God
;
and
they
that
are
born
of
God
by
the
Water
and
Spirit
of
Life
,
they
are
not
Servants
to
Sin
,
neither
will
any
such
plead
for
Sin
,
nor
for
a
continuance
in
it
as
long
as
they
live
;
but
all
such
Persons
and
People
that
are
born
of
God
,
as
aforesaid
,
they
hate
Sin
,
and
every
appearance
of
it
,
in
Thoughts
,
Words
and
Actions
,
both
in
themselves
and
in
all
other
people
,
where
they
see
Sin
committed
,
acted
or
done
;
and
those
that
are
born
of
God
by
his
Spirit
,
they
are
in
Christ
,
and
he
is
in
them
spiritually
,
and
they
are
made
new
Creatures
by
the
working
of
Christ's
spirit
in
their
hearts
and
souls
;
and
all
old
things
that
are
evil
,
which
is
Sin
and
Iniquity
,
comes
to
be
taken
away
and
destroyed
,
and
all
things
are
made
new
by
the
workings
of
the
Power
and
Spirit
of
Christ
in
the
hearts
of
all
the
Children
of
Light
,
who
are
true
Believers
and
Followers
of
Christ
through
the
Spiritual
Warfare
,
and
through
great
Tribulations
,
and
Tryals
,
and
Exercises
,
which
the
People
of
the
Lord
come
to
know
,
and
to
pass
through
,
before
they
attain
to
Perfection
from
all
their
Sins
;
and
it
is
said
,
That
many
are
the
Troubles
of
the
Righteous
,
and
through
many
Tribulations
must
they
enter
into
the
Kingdom
of
Heaven
;
but
the
Lord
is
all-sufficient
for
to
help
his
People
out
of
all
their
Troubles
and
Tryals
,
both
inward
and
outward
,
those
that
puts
their
whole
trust
and
confidence
in
him
:
And
he
hath
done
great
things
for
many
of
his
people
now
in
our
Age
and
Generation
,
which
have
been
under
great
Troubles
,
Sufferings
and
Tryals
,
both
inward
and
outward
,
for
which
we
have
just
cause
,
and
we
are
bound
in
duty
to
bless
and
praise
the
Name
of
the
Lord
,
and
to
return
unto
him
all
Honour
,
Glory
,
Praise
,
Thanks
,
Fear
,
Reverence
and
true
Obedience
;
for
unto
the
Lord
alone
it
doth
belong
,
both
from
me
,
and
from
all
that
knows
him
,
who
have
tasted
of
his
Love
and
Mercies
,
blessed
and
praised
be
his
great
and
glorious
,
and
heavenly
Name
,
both
now
,
henceforth
for
ever
,
and
for
evermore
.

And
so
the
true
Way
that
leads
to
the
Kingdom
of
Heaven
,
is
a
strait
and
narrow
way
,
for
it
is
a
way
of
Holiness
,
Righteousness
and
Purity
,
and
a
way
wherein
all
people
must
deny
themselves
of
doing
any
evil
thing
that
will
offend
the
Lord
,
or
displease
him
,
and
therefore
there
are
but
a
few
that
find
it
,
and
walk
in
it
:
and
Christ's
Flock
is
but
a
little
Flock
,
in
comparison
of
the
multitude
of
people
that
are
in
the
World
,
but
the
way
that
leads
to
Hell
and
Destruction
,
and
so
into
everlasting
Torment
and
Misery
which
shall
never
come
to
an
end
;
this
is
a
broad
and
wide
way
,
and
it
is
easie
,
and
delightful
,
and
pleasant
,
to
all
fleshly
carnal
minded
people
for
to
walk
in
:
And
all
those
people
that
live
and
act
in
Sin
and
Evil
,
and
take
pleasure
and
delight
therein
,
and
deny
Perfection
from
Sin
in
this
Life
,
all
such
persons
and
people
are
going
on
in
the
broad
and
wide
way
,
that
will
lead
them
into
everlasting
Wo
and
Misery
,
unless
they
repent
.
And
therefore
it
is
my
Advice
and
Counsel
unto
all
people
that
now
live
and
delight
in
Sin
and
Evil
,
as
you
tender
the
glory
of
God
,
and
the
good
and
well-being
of
your
Immortal
Souls
,
come
out
of
all
your
ungodly
ways
and
doings
,
and
Repent
and
forsake
the
Evil
of
your
ways
and
doings
,
and
desire
the
Lord
to
pardon
you
for
all
your
Sins
and
Transgressions
,
which
yon
have
acted
and
done
against
him
;
and
turn
unto
the
Lord
,
and
fear
and
love
him
with
all
your
hearts
,
and
hate
Sin
and
Evil
,
and
every
appearance
of
it
,
both
in
your selves
,
and
in
all
others
,
that
thereby
you
may
come
to
know
a
Change
,
and
a
Reformation
to
be
wrought
in
your
hearts
by
the
Power
and
Spirit
of
Christ
in
you
,
and
this
is
the
only
way
and
means
for
you
to
find
Forgiveness
,
and
Mercy
,
and
Acceptance
with
the
Lord
for
your
poor
Souls
;
which
if
you
so
do
,
and
find
,
it
will
be
of
more
worth
and
value
to
you
that
find
it
,
then
all
the
outward
injoyments
of
Honour
,
or
Riches
,
or
Pleasures
that
are
in
the
World.
And
now
I
shall
mention
,
and
lay
before
you
some
of
the
Cruelties
and
bloody
Persecutions
of
these
Clergy-men
,
before
mentioned
,
and
some
of
their
Hearers
,
and
Members
of
their
Churches
,
which
have
joyned
with
them
in
their
Cruelties
,
and
bloody
Persecutions
,
and
shall
begin
with
the
Popish
Clergy
,
and
some
of
the
Members
of
their
Church
;
first
,
It
is
well
known
to
many
People
what
their
Doctrine
,
and
Principles
,
and
Practices
are
,
and
what
it
leads
and
guides
them
for
to
do
and
act
,
in
those
Places
and
Countries
where
they
have
the
Rule
and
Power
in
outward
things
;
as
for
instance
,
They
do
believet
at
all
people
which
are
not
of
their
Faith
and
Religion
are
Sectaries
and
Hereticks
,
though
they
be
called
Christians
,
as
I
can
make
appear
by
their
own
Books
,
which
they
have
set
forth
;
and
then
this
hath
followed
by
their
practices
,
that
the
more
Hereticks
they
kill
and
destroy
,
many
of
them
think
they
do
God
more
service
,
and
count
it
a
Meritorious
Work
,
although
the
people
which
they
have
killed
and
murthered
were
no
Hereticks
,
but
good
Christians
,
many
of
them
,
and
were
faithful
to
God
in
what
he
manifested
and
made
known
unto
them
in
their
Age
and
Time
;
As
for
instance
,
How
many
of
these
good
people
aforesaid
,
have
these
Popish
bloody
Clergy-Men
,
and
the
Members
of
their
Church
,
caused
for
to
be
but
and
destroyed
in
Queen
Mary's
Reign
,
because
they
could
not
for
good
Conscience-sake
submit
and
conform
to
their
Idolatrous
Ways
and
Worships
,
which
were
never
ordained
by
the
Lord
,
nor
never
such
a
Doctrine
nor
Practice
was
ever
preached
,
nor
practised
by
any
of
the
Ministers
of
Christ
.
And
so
this
Doctrine
and
Practice
,
which
was
and
is
preached
and
practised
by
the
Popish
Clergy
,
and
the
Members
of
their
Church
,
was
ordained
and
set
up
by
the
Devil
and
his
Ministers
,
and
not
by
Christ
nor
his
Ministers
,
as
appears
plainly
by
their
Wicked
Actions
and
Practices
,
aforesaid
.
And
I
shall
mention
more
of
their
Cruelties
and
Murders
,
as
for
instance
,
How
many
Thousands
of
Protestants
did
they
kill
and
murder
in
Ireland
,
even
at
such
a
time
when
the
Protestants
were
peaceable
and
quiet
,
and
did
not
lift
up
a
hand
against
them
;
and
the
Devil
in
those
Murderers
did
invent
such
Cruel
Tortures
and
Punishments
to
put
them
to
Death
,
as
scarce
hath
been
heard
of
amongst
the
Heathens
,
which
are
no
Christians
;
and
yet
notwithstanding
they
have
the
boldness
and
confidence
,
for
to
call
themselves
Christians
,
and
say
,
Christ
is
their
Saviour
:
but
Christ
hates
and
abhors
all
such
Murders
and
Cruelties
,
as
are
found
acted
and
done
amongst
them
:
And
Christ
came
not
to
destroy
men's
Lives
,
but
to
save
them
.
And
here
people
may
see
that
these
aforesaid
,
are
not
acted
nor
guided
by
the
Spirit
of
Christ
,
but
by
the
spirit
of
the
Devil
,
who
was
a
Lyar
and
a
Murderer
from
the
beginning
.
And
now
I
shall
mention
and
lay
before
you
some
of
the
Cruelties
and
great
Persecutions
of
the
Presbyterian
Clergy
,
and
some
of
their
Hearers
and
Members
of
their
Church
,
both
in
Old
England
,
and
in
New-England
,
which
they
have
acted
and
done
against
the
People
of
God
,
who
are
in
scorn
called
by
the
World
Quakers
;
first
,
they
have
cast
many
of
us
into
Prisons
,
and
there
they
have
kept
several
until
they
dyed
,
and
by
their
means
and
doings
they
have
taken
away
the
Goods
and
Chattels
of
many
of
our
Friends
,
both
Rich
and
Poor
,
to
the
value
of
many
Thousands
of
Pounds
;
and
this
they
did
in
Oliver
Cromwell's
time
,
and
they
proceeded
against
us
for
not
paying
of
them
Tythes
,
and
Money
for
Preaching
,
by
a
Law
which
gave
them
trebble
Damage
;
and
they
caused
evil
men
for
to
come
into
our
Houses
and
Grounds
for
to
distrain
our
Goods
and
Chattels
,
which
they
did
several
times
,
and
sold
our
Goods
and
Chattels
,
and
gave
the
Money
to
those
Tything
Hireling-Priests
;
and
they
sold
our
Goods
&
Chattels
at
an
undervalue
;
and
they
took
many
times
Goods
and
Chattels
from
us
,
which
were
worth
above
five
times
more
than
they
call'd
their
due
;
&
thus
they
have
done
to
many
of
us
.
And
they
have
cast
several
into
Prisons
for
less
than
eighteen
Pence
a
piece
,
at
their
own
valuation
,
which
they
said
was
their
due
;
and
thus
they
have
ruinated
several
of
our
Friends
,
and
their
Families
aforesaid
,
in
their
Estates
,
besides
the
Cruelties
which
they
have
Inflicted
upon
our
Bodies
,
in
casting
many
of
us
into
Prisons
,
and
there
they
kept
many
until
they
dyed
;
and
thus
Cruelly
,
with
much
more
Cruelties
,
which
are
here
too
tedious
to
mention
,
have
they
acted
and
done
against
us
,
because
we
could
not
for
good
Conscience
sake
uphold
them
in
their
ungodly
Ways
and
Practices
,
as
to
pay
them
Tythes
,
and
Money
for
their
Preaching
,
as
Ministers
of
Christ
,
as
they
and
the
people
that
hear
them
,
call
and
account
them
to
be
:
but
Christ
came
to
put
an
end
to
that
Law
,
and
Priest-hood
,
and
Covenant
,
by
which
Tythes
were
paid
in
the
time
of
the
Law
and
first
Covenant
,
and
hath
abolished
it
;
read
Heb.
7.
8
,
9
,
10.
And
where
do
ye
find
,
or
read
in
all
the
Scriptures
of
Truth
,
that
any
of
the
true
Ministers
of
Christ
took
Tythes
,
or
Money
for
their
preaching
?
Or
did
ever
any
of
the
true
Believers
and
Followers
of
Christ
pay
Tythes
?
And
whosoever
they
be
that
either
take
Tythes
,
or
pay
Tythes
,
denys
Christ
to
be
come
,
and
the
end
of
his
coming
,
so
as
to
yield
obedience
unto
him
,
by
doing
that
which
he
requires
of
them
.
And
now
I
have
something
more
to
mention
of
the
Wickedness
,
and
Cruelties
,
and
Murders
of
the
Presbyterian
Clergy
,
and
the
Professors
and
Members
of
their
Church
in
New-England
,
against
the
people
of
God
,
called
in
scorn
Quakers
;
first
,
they
cast
many
in
Prison
,
and
they
Whipped
many
in
a
cruel
manner
,
both
Men
and
Women
,
〈◊〉
their
naked
Bodies
;
and
they
took
away
the
Goods
and
〈◊〉
of
many
of
the
people
aforesaid
,
and
they
Branded
and
Burnt
them
with
Hot
●●ons
,
and
they
Cut
off
the
Ears
of
some
,
and
B●nished
them
;
And
all
these
Cruelties
,
with
much
more
,
which
are
not
here
mentioned
,
which
they
acted
and
did
against
the
people
aforesaid
,
would
not
sati●fie
their
blood-thirsty
Spirit
.
And
now
I
desire
all
true
Christians
,
who
are
true
Believers
and
Lovers
of
Christ
,
to
consider
and
take
notice
of
all
these
Cruelties
and
Murders
aforesaid
,
and
see
if
these
Clergy-Men
and
People
aforesaid
,
be
not
acted
and
guided
by
the
same
Spirit
now
that
the
High-Priests
,
and
Chief
Priests
,
and
Scribes
and
Pharisees
were
,
when
Christ
was
upon
the
Earth
;
and
they
had
a
form
of
Godliness
,
and
professed
Scriptures
,
and
they
made
long
Prayers
,
and
made
clean
the
outside
,
and
appeared
righteous
in
the
sight
of
men
,
but
their
hearts
were
deceitful
,
and
full
of
Hypocrisie
and
Iniquity
,
as
many
of
the
Priests
and
Professors
of
Religion
are
found
to
be
now
,
by
their
evil
Lives
and
Conversations
in
this
world
:
And
was
there
any
greater
Enemies
to
Christ
Jesus
,
when
he
was
upon
the
Earth
,
then
those
High-Priests
and
Chief
Priests
,
and
Scribes
and
Pharisees
were
then
?
And
they
sought
every
way
they
could
for
to
destroy
Christ
and
his
Ministers
,
and
sought
false
Witness
against
them
for
to
have
them
put
to
Death
:
and
Christ
and
some
of
his
Ministers
were
put
to
death
by
means
of
such
wicked
ungodly
Priests
and
Professors
of
Religion
as
aforesaid
,
which
had
a
form
of
Godliness
,
but
they
were
absolute
Enemies
to
thse
that
lived
in
the
Life
and
Power
of
Godliness
;
as
these
Priests
,
and
Professors
,
and
People
are
now
;
&
many
of
these
now
are
absolute
Enemies
to
the
Children
of
Light
,
and
all
that
do
truly
believe
and
own
the
Spiritual
Appearance
of
Christ
in
their
hearts
,
as
to
obey
and
follow
it
,
who
was
and
is
the
true
Light
and
Life
of
all
true
Christians
,
and
true
Believers
in
him
in
all
Ages
&
Generations
that
are
past
&
gone
;
and
all
such
Christians
and
true
Believers
in
him
,
who
do
obey
&
follow
the
Light
&
Spirit
of
Christ
in
their
hearts
,
they
do
,
and
will
receive
power
daily
for
to
forsake
their
Sins
and
Iniquities
;
and
the
same
Light
and
Spirit
will
beget
a
perfect
hatred
in
their
Hearts
against
all
Sin
,
and
every
appearance
of
it
,
both
in
themselves
,
and
in
all
others
,
where
they
see
Sin
acted
or
done
:
And
whosoever
doth
truly
love
and
〈…〉
Light
and
Spirit
of
Christ
in
themselves
,
which
shews
them
Sin
,
and
reproves
them
for
it
in
secret
,
when
they
either
think
,
speak
or
act
any
thing
that
is
Evil
,
it
will
teach
and
help
them
to
forsake
Sin
,
and
every
appearance
of
Sin
,
according
as
the
Lord
doth
manifest
Sin
unto
them
:
And
whosoever
doth
truly
believe
in
this
Light
and
good
Spirit
of
Christ
,
which
shews
people
their
Sins
,
and
reproves
them
in
their
own
Hearts
and
Consciences
,
when
they
do
sin
against
God
,
if
they
do
truly
love
,
and
obey
,
and
follow
this
Light
and
good
Spirit
in
them
,
it
is
sufficient
in
its
self
,
without
the
help
of
vain
sinful
men
,
which
preach
against
Perfection
from
Sin
in
this
Life
;
I
say
again
,
it
is
sufficient
,
and
there
is
help
and
power
enough
in
it
,
for
to
lead
and
guide
all
people
out
of
their
Sins
,
and
to
give
them
power
to
forsake
all
their
Sins
and
Iniquities
by
degrees
,
all
that
are
willing
to
deny
themselves
of
all
their
sinful
Ways
and
Pleasures
,
and
so
become
obedient
to
this
Light
and
Spirit
of
Christ
in
them
;
and
this
Light
and
Spirit
the
Lord
hath
given
a
measure
of
it
freely
to
every
one
for
to
profit
withal
;
and
it
is
sufficient
for
to
teach
all
People
that
truly
believe
in
it
,
and
obey
it
,
and
is
willing
to
be
taught
by
it
,
it
will
teach
them
to
deny
all
ungodly
Thoughts
,
Words
and
Actions
;
and
it
will
teach
them
to
live
soberly
,
justly
,
godly
,
and
righteously
in
this
present
world
;
and
it
will
teach
them
for
to
do
unto
all
People
,
as
they
would
be
done
unto
themselves
;
and
it
will
teach
them
for
to
deal
,
and
to
do
justly
to
all
men
,
and
to
love
and
shew
mercy
unto
all
People
,
and
to
walk
in
Lowliness
,
and
in
true
Humility
before
the
Lord
;
and
these
things
the
Lord
requires
of
every
one
,
and
it
is
the
duty
of
every
one
so
to
do
.
And
now
if
this
good
Spirit
of
Christ
did
bear
rule
in
every
ones
Heart
,
it
would
lead
and
guide
them
in
all
Truth
and
Righteousness
,
and
it
would
lead
and
bring
them
out
of
all
the
wicked
and
ungodly
Ways
,
and
Worships
,
and
evil
Practices
which
are
acted
and
done
amongst
all
the
Sons
and
Daughters
of
men
,
which
are
now
in
the
fall
,
and
live
in
Sin
and
Transgression
against
God
,
and
so
are
found
to
be
in
the
unregenerate
state
,
and
such
are
dead
in
their
Sins
and
Trespasses
,
tho'
their
Bodies
be
alive
in
this
World
:
and
if
this
good
Spirit
aforesaid
did
bear
rule
in
every
Heart
,
there
would
not
be
that
Killing
nor
Destroying
one
another
,
neither
about
Religion
,
nor
no
earthly
thing
whatsoever
;
and
therefore
I
would
have
all
People
to
take
notice
,
that
there
are
two
Spirits
,
a
good
Spirit
,
and
an
evil
Spirit
;
and
the
good
Spirit
comes
from
God
,
and
the
evil
Spirit
comes
from
the
Devil
;
and
the
good
Spirit
leads
People
up
to
God
,
to
have
fellowship
&
communion
with
him
in
spirit
,
in
their
hearts
&
souls
;
and
this
is
the
only
Communion
which
is
spiritual
,
that
is
alone
necessary
and
needful
for
every
one
to
know
in
truth
,
as
to
their
Everlasting
Happiness
with
the
Lord
,
when
time
here
in
this
World
shall
be
no
more
to
them
.
And
the
evil
Spirit
draws
and
leads
people
from
God
,
into
all
manner
of
Sin
and
Wickedness
,
some
into
one
kind
of
Sin
,
and
some
into
other
kind
of
Sin
;
so
that
all
People
upon
the
Earth
are
Sinners
,
and
live
in
Sin
so
long
as
this
evil
Spirit
guides
and
bears
rule
in
their
hearts
,
and
every
one
is
a
Servant
to
whether
of
these
two
Spirits
he
doth
obey
;
and
to
whether
of
these
two
Spirits
be
yields
his
Members
servants
unto
,
his
Servants
they
are
to
whom
they
do
obey
,
whether
it
be
unto
that
spirit
which
leads
them
into
Sin
and
Evil
,
which
is
the
wicked
Spirit
,
or
it
be
that
they
do
obey
the
good
Spirit
,
which
leads
and
guides
all
them
that
are
led
and
guided
by
it
,
into
all
Truth
and
Righteousness
,
and
out
of
all
Sin
and
Iniquiry
;
And
whosoever
hath
not
the
Spirit
of
Christ
,
they
are
none
of
his
,
let
them
profess
what
they
will
,
or
be
of
what
Judgment
or
Religion
soever
,
if
they
have
not
the
Spirit
of
Christ
in
them
for
to
teach
,
and
instruct
,
and
counsel
them
,
they
are
none
of
Christ's
Servants
nor
Ministers
;

And
all
them
that
do
love
and
believe
in
the
Light
and
Spirit
of
Christ
in
them
,
which
shews
them
Sin
,
and
reproves
them
in
their
own
Hearts
and
Consciences
,
many
times
when
they
do
sin
,
insomuch
that
I
have
heard
several
people
say
,
when
they
have
sinned
,
I
pray
God
forgive
me
;
when
as
at
that
time
no
Person
outwardly
did
speak
to
them
;
but
it
was
the
Light
and
Spirit
of
Christ
in
them
,
that
shewed
them
that
they
had
sinned
against
the
Lord
at
that
time
;
and
whosoever
minds
and
takes
heed
to
that
Light
and
Spirit
of
Christ
in
them
,
and
believes
in
it
,
so
as
to
obey
and
follow
it
,
it
will
not
only
shew
them
their
Sins
and
evil
Deeds
which
they
have
done
and
committed
against
the
Lord
;
but
it
will
beget
a
perfect
hatred
against
all
Sin
in
them
,
that
do
truly
love
and
believe
in
this
Light
and
good
Spirit
aforesaid
,
and
it
will
beget
secret
crys
and
breathings
unto
the
Lord
,
in
their
hearts
and
souls
,
that
he
would
be
pleased
to
pardon
them
,
and
to
give
them
power
for
the
time
to
come
to
forsake
the
evil
of
their
Ways
and
Doings
;
that
they
might
never
sin
against
the
Lord
any
more
;
and
this
hath
been
my
state
and
con●●●ion
,
and
many
more
of
the
People
of
God
;
and
now
we
can
say
in
truth
,
to
the
praise
and
glory
of
the
Lord
it
is
spoken
,
that
we
that
were
Sinners
and
Unbelievers
,
and
were
dead
in
Sins
&
Trespasses
in
days
&
years
that
are
past
and
gone
,
as
well
as
others
;
and
then
at
that
time
when
we
were
in
that
sad
and
miserable
state
and
condition
,
as
aforesaid
,
the
Lord
was
pleased
out
of
his
infinite
love
,
mercy
&
goodness
,
for
to
reveal
and
make
known
himself
unto
us
,
even
at
that
time
when
we
were
Enemies
,
Aliens
and
Strangers
unto
him
by
wicked
Works
,
which
we
had
done
against
the
Lord
,
notwithstanding
all
our
Profession
of
Religion
,
and
fair
pretences
which
we
made
,
that
we
did
love
the
Lord
,
and
believe
in
him
,
and
did
worship
and
serve
him
,
as
we
thought
then
;
but
it
pleased
the
Lord
of
his
great
love
and
kindness
to
us
to
appear
in
our
hearts
,
by
his
Light
and
good
Spirit
,
which
he
manifested
and
revealed
in
us
at
that
time
;
and
the
Lord
was
pleased
by
his
Light
and
Spirit
for
to
search
our
hearts
,
and
to
let
us
see
the
deceit
and
the
evil
that
was
in
our
hearts
,
by
reason
of
Sin
and
Iniquity
,
which
the
Enemy
of
our
Souls
,
(
which
is
the
wicked
spirit
)
had
wrought
in
our
hearts
,
and
we
knew
it
not
,
when
we
lived
in
our
sins
,
and
took
pleasure
and
delight
therein
;
and
so
instead
of
denying
our selves
from
doing
those
things
,
which
did
offend
and
displease
the
Lord
,
we
did
those
things
which
did
offend
him
and
grieve
his
holy
Spirit
,
as
too
many
do
now
;
and
when
we
did
those
things
which
grieved
the
Lord
,
we
did
not
then
walk
in
the
strait
and
narrow
way
that
leads
to
Life
and
Peace
with
the
Lord
;
but
we
were
then
walking
in
the
broad
and
wide
way
that
leads
to
Hell
and
Destruction
,
which
many
Thousands
are
now
walking
in
,
that
live
in
their
sins
,
and
take
pleasure
and
delight
therein
;
but
now
the
Lord
out
of
his
free
love
,
and
grace
,
and
mercy
hath
called
us
out
of
the
evil
of
the
World
,
and
the
vain
Conversation
that
people
live
and
walk
in
,
both
Professors
and
Prophane
,
and
he
hath
revealed
and
made
known
his
Mind
and
Will
unto
us
,
what
he
would
have
us
for
to
do
,
and
what
he
requires
of
us
,
which
is
to
live
the
Lord
with
all
our
Hearts
,
above
all
visible
things
that
are
in
the
World
;
and
also
to
fear
,
serve
,
honour
and
obey
him
in
Truth
and
Righteousness
,
and
to
do
justly
with
all
men
,
and
to
love
Mercy
and
walk
Humbly
with
God
;
and
now
we
find
that
the
Lord
hath
made
a
Remnant
of
us
freely
willing
for
to
serve
and
obey
him
,
and
to
do
his
Will
in
what
he
makes
known
unto
us
,
in
all
things
which
he
commands
and
requires
of
us
for
to
do
.
And
this
great
Work
which
the
Lord
hath
already
wrought
in
our
hearts
,
and
the
great
things
which
he
hath
done
for
us
,
and
in
us
,
by
his
Power
and
Spirit
,
he
hath
not
done
it
for
any
goodness
,
or
worthiness
,
or
any
deserts
which
he
saw
in
us
,
nor
for
any
Works
of
Righteousness
which
we
have
done
,
whereby
to
move
,
or
to
ingage
the
Lord
for
to
do
these
great
things
,
either
for
us
,
or
in
us
;
but
he
hath
done
all
these
things
for
his
own
Name
sake
,
and
in
love
to
our
immortal
Souls
,
and
out
of
his
free
Love
,
and
Mercy
,
and
Kindness
to
us
,
for
which
we
are
bound
in
duty
,
and
are
ingaged
to
return
unto
the
Lord
all
Honour
,
Glory
,
Praise
,
Thanks
,
Love
,
Fear
,
Reverence
and
Obedience
;
for
unto
him
alone
it
doth
belong
,
both
from
me
,
and
from
all
that
know
how
good
and
gracious
he
is
,
and
hath
been
unto
them
,
who
is
God
over
and
above
all
,
blessed
and
praised
be
his
great
,
holy
,
and
heavenly
Name
,
both
now
henceforth
,
for
ever
,
and
for
evermore
;
Amen
.
And
now
I
would
have
all
People
to
take
notice
,
where
this
may
come
,
that
all
Persons
and
People
that
despise
and
reject
the
Light
and
Spirit
of
Christ
in
them
,
which
shews
them
their
Sins
,
and
reproves
them
in
secret
when
they
do
evil
,
and
say
,
It
is
but
a
natural
Light
,
and
that
it
is
not
sufficient
,
nor
hath
power
to
save
people
from
their
sins
,
nor
to
keep
and
preserve
them
out
of
sin
,
all
such
are
Unbelievers
,
and
hate
Christ
,
and
love
their
evil
Deeds
;
for
Christ
is
that
Light
and
good
Spirit
in
them
,
and
he
hath
given
a
measure
of
it
freely
to
every
one
to
profit
withal
:
and
all
them
that
truly
love
and
believe
in
this
Light
and
good
Spirit
in
them
,
and
is
willing
for
to
obey
and
follow
it
,
all
such
will
come
to
know
Salvation
and
Redemption
by
Christ
from
their
Sins
and
Iniquities
;
but
all
those
that
hate
,
and
despise
,
and
reject
the
Counsel
and
Teaching
of
this
Light

And
I
do
verily
believe
,
that
there
is
and
shall
be
a
Resurrection
,
both
of
the
Just
and
Unjust
without
respect
of
Persons
,
w
〈…〉
just
God
of
Heaven
and
Earth
,
for
to
give
〈…〉
all
their
Deeds
and
Actions
which
they
have
〈…〉
time
,
and
every
one
shall
receive
a
Reward
from
God
,
〈…〉
their
Deeds
which
they
have
done
in
their
Bodies
,
whether
they
be
good
or
evil
.
And
now
it
concerns
both
me
,
and
every
one
for
to
prise
our
time
,
which
the
Lord
is
pleased
to
give
to
us
to
live
upon
the
Earth
,
that
we
may
walk
circumspectly
and
wisely
,
in
the
wisdom
of
God
,
before
the
Evil
day
come
,
which
will
certainly
come
upon
the
Wicked
and
Ungodly
,
that
live
and
dye
in
their
Sins
and
Iniquities
:
And
it
is
the
true
desire
of
my
Heart
and
Soul
,
that
we
may
all
spend
our
time
which
the
Lord
gives
us
to
live
upon
the
Earth
to
Gods
honour
and
glory
,
by
bringing
forth
good
Works
and
Actions
in
our
holy
Lives
and
godly
Conversations
,
to
the
praise
and
honour
of
his
great
and
worthy
Name
,
that
so
we
may
answer
the
end
for
which
God
hath
made
and
created
us
,
which
is
to
love
him
with
all
our
Hearts
,
and
to
fear
,
serve
,
honour
and
obey
him
in
Truth
and
Righteousness
,
whereby
God
Almighty
may
be
honoured
and
glorified
,
both
in
us
and
by
us
,
who
is
worthy
to
have
all
the
Honour
,
Glory
,
Praise
,
Thanks
,
Fear
and
true
Obedience
,
for
unto
him
alone
it
doth
belong
,
both
from
me
,
and
from
all
that
know
the
Lord
how
good
he
is
to
them
,
both
now
and
for
ever
,
and
for
evermore
;

And
now
I
shall
come
to
mention
something
of
the
Cruelties
and
Persecutions
of
the
Episcopal
Clergy
,
who
are
Teachers
of
the
People
of
the
Church
of
England
,
so
called
,
and
some
of
their
Hearers
and
Members
of
their
Church
that
assisted
them
in
their
Cruelties
;
first
,
they
Imprisoned
many
Hundreds
of
the
People
of
the
Lord
,
called
in
scorn
Quakers
;
and
by
their
means
we
were
put
into
nasty
Holes
and
Dungeons
amongst
Thieves
and
Murderer
;
and
some
of
us
were
Fettered
and
Chained
with
Irons
on
both
Legs
as
they
do
to
the
worst
of
Malefactors
;
and
our
Friends
and
Acquaintance
were
not
suffered
for
to
come
to
see
us
,
although
some
of
our
Friends
did
come
a
Hundred
Miles
or
more
,
for
to
see
us
,
and
neither
they
nor
we
could
be
suffered
to
see
one
another
;
and
they
have
gone
away
without
seeing
of
us
;
nor
there
was
not
any
suffered
to
come
to
relieve
us
,
nor
to
help
us
to
such
things
for
our
Money
as
we
stood
in
great
need
of
;
nor
we
were
not
suffered
to
have
any
manner
of
Bedding
brought
in
,
not
so
much
as
a
little
Straw
to
lie
upon
,
to
keep
us
off
the
cold
Ground
,
although
we
would
have
paid
for
it
:
and
this
was
worse
Cruelty
than
many
use
to
their
Dogs
and
Swine
:
And
so
the
Goalers
would
force
us
to
buy
Victuals
of
them
at
their
own
rate
,
or
else
we
must
have
none
,
which
was
dearer
by
half
then
we
might
have
had
it
of
other
People
,
if
we
could
have
been
suffered
to
buy
it
at
best
hand
;
and
there
many
were
kept
in
Prisons
until
they
dyed
,
by
reason
of
such
Cruel
Usage
as
aforesaid
.
And
these
Clergy-Men
caused
many
of
our
Houses
to
be
rifled
,
and
they
went
into
the
Grounds
,
and
took
and
carried
away
out
of
our
Houses
and
Grounds
much
Goods
and
Chattels
several
times
,
which
they
sold
at
an
undervalue
,
less
by
half
than
they
were
worth
:
And
they
took
away
Goods
and
Chattels
from
many
of
us
,
which
were
worth
above
five
times
more
than
they
could
prove
to
be
their
due
;
and
they
distrained
all
the
Goods
in
some
Houses
,
and
left
them
not
a
Bed
to
lie
upon
,
neither
for
the
Man
of
the
House
,
nor
his
Wife
,
Children
nor
Servants
,
although
some
of
the
men's
Wives
,
which
had
their
Houses
so
rifled
and
plundred
,
was
but
newly
delivered
of
a
Child
,
or
Children
;
and
so
they
took
no
Pitty
,
nor
shewed
no
Mercy
neither
to
Men
,
Women
or
Children
,
that
were
in
such
a
state
and
condition
as
aforesaid
:
And
thus
they
have
Ruinated
several
Persons
and
their
Families
,
by
taking
away
their
Goods
and
Chattels
,
which
they
and
their
Families
should
have
lived
upon
:
They
did
live
very
well
&
comfortably
before
these
wicked
ungodly
Clergy-Men
,
and
the
Upholders
of
them
came
upon
them
thus
to
destroy
them
.
And
they
have
taken
away
Goods
and
Chattels
from
us
worth
many
Thousands
of
Pounds
.
And
all
these
Cruelties
and
Wickedness
they
have
done
and
acted
against
us
,
is
only
because
we
could
not
for
good
Conscience-sake
pay
them
Tythes
,
and
Money
for
their
Preaching
,
as
Ministers
of
Christ
,
which
we
know
in
our
own
Hearts
and
Consciences
,
and
also
by
the
Scriptures
of
Truth
,
that
neither
Christ
,
nor
his
true
Ministers
,
never
ordained
any
such
wages
,
nor
they
never
practiced
any
such
things
,
nor
never
took
Tythes
nor
Money
for
their
Preaching
,
nor
never
preached
such
a
Doctrine
as
these
Tything
Hireling-Priests
do
now
:
But
on
the
contrary
,
they
denyed
all
such
ungodly
ways
and
practices
,
and
spoke
against
them
,
and
said
,
That
Covetousness
is
Idolatry
,
and
the
love
of
Money
is
the
Root
of
all
Evil
;
And
,
that
these
things
ought
not
to
be
done
,
nor
practiced
amongst
the
Ministers
of
Christ
;
and
as
the
Apostle
Paul
said
,
so
say
we
,
If
any
one
Preach
any
other
Gospel
,
or
any
other
Doctrine
,
than
that
which
the
Ministers
of
Christ
preached
unto
the
People
formerly
,
let
him
be
accursed
.
And
the
Ministers
of
Christ
were
endued
with
Power
f●●●
on
High
,
and
they
were
taught
of
Christ
;
and
the
Gospel
which
they
preached
,
they
neither
received
is
of
man
,
neither
were
they
taught
it
of
man
,
neither
did
they
learn
it
at
any
outward
Schools
of
humane
Learning
;
neither
did
they
buy
it
for
Money
;
but
the
Lord
did
reveal
it
unto
them
by
his
holy
Spirit
,
which
He
gave
unto
them
freely
;
and
so
they
Preached
freely
without
any
Tythes
or
Money
:
neither
did
they
go
to
Law
,
nor
compel
,
nor
cast
any
sort
of
People
into
Prison
,
because
they
gave
them
not
Tythes
nor
Money
for
their
preaching
.
And
therefore
I
do
affirm
,
that
all
the
Priests
and
Clergy-Men
that
,
are
in
the
whole
World
,
that
either
preach
or
teach
to
any
sort
of
People
for
either
Tythes
or
Money
,
or
both
,
they
are
all
guilty
before
the
Lord
of
that
great
Sin
of
Covetousness
,
and
the
love
of
Money
,
which
is
the
Root
of
all
Evil
;
besides
many
other
great
Sins
which
they
are
guilty
of
in
the
sight
of
God
:
And
the
Wicked
and
the
Unrighteous
shall
not
inherit
the
Kingdom
of
God
,
nor
any
Covetous
Man
,
who
is
an
Idolater
,
hath
any
Inheritance
in
the
Kingdom
of
Christ
,
or
of
God.

And
whereas
many
of
you
Clergy-Men
,
and
others
,
have
falsly
accused
us
,
in
saying
,
That
we
deny
Authority
,
and
will
not
be
subject
nor
obedient
to
Authority
,
&c.
To
which
I
Answer
,
not
only
for
my self
but
in
the
behalf
of
my
Friends
,
who
are
in
scorn
called
Quakers
;
And
this
I
can
certainly
say
,
and
declare
unto
all
sorts
of
People
,
that
we
do
really
own
and
honour
Authority
in
our
Hearts
,
such
who
are
Men
of
Truth
,
and
hate
Covetousness
,
and
all
such
as
punish
Evil-Doors
,
and
incourage
them
that
do
Well
;
and
all
such
Magistrates
as
these
I
do
believe
are
ordained
and
appointed
of
God
to
be
a
Terror
to
the
Wicked
,
and
them
that
do
Evil
:
and
such
are
a
means
to
hinder
the
Wicked
form
acting
such
gross
Wickedness
as
many
of
them
would
do
,
if
it
were
not
for
fear
of
an
outward
Law
,
and
of
such
Magistrates
as
they
know
will
punish
them
for
their
Offences
;
and
such
Magistrates
as
those
,
that
are
a
means
for
to
incourage
and
strengthen
people
in
doing
that
which
is
good
,
and
to
suppress
Vice
,
We
are
willing
for
to
be
subject
and
obedient
to
them
in
all
things
that
are
Temporal
,
which
is
lawful
and
expedient
to
be
done
:
And
all
those
Magistrates
which
now
bear
Rule
,
or
may
hereafter
come
to
bear
Rule
amongst
us
,
we
can
promise
and
ingage
unto
them
,
That
we
will
never
Plot
,
nor
Contrive
any
Evil
thing
against
them
,
nor
any
of
them
,
whereby
to
hurt
or
wrong
them
any
manner
of
way
:
We
shall
never
rise
up
in
Rebellion
against
any
Governour
or
Government
whatsoever
,
as
to
sight
against
them
with
any
Carnal
Weapon
;
and
if
they
should
be
su●fered
to
make
Laws
against
us
,
as
many
have
done
formerly
,
and
command
us
to
d●●
at
which
we
know
is
a
Sin
against
the
Lord
,
if
we
do
it
;
or
if
they
should
require
any
thing
of
us
,
which
we
cannot
do
for
Conscience
sake
,
yet
notwithstanding
we
shall
not
resist
them
by
force
of
Arms
,
but
by
the
help
of
the
Lord
,
I
hope
,
we
shall
be
made
willing
by
him
for
to
give
up
our
Bodies
and
Estates
to
suffer
for
Christ's
sake
,
whatsoever
the
Lord
may
suffer
them
to
do
against
us
.
And
this
the
People
of
God
did
in
all
Ages
,
that
were
and
are
faithful
and
obedient
to
him
in
what
he
manifested
unto
them
;
as
for
instance
,
Did
not
the
Rulers
Imprison
Peter
and
John
,
and
afterwards
they
threatened
to
punish
them
,
and
commanded
them
,
That
they
should
not
speak
nor
teach
to
any
man
in
the
Name
of
Jesus
;
And
they
answered
,
and
said
unto
them
,
Whether
it
be
right
in
the
sight
of
God
to
hearken
unto
you
more
than
unto
God
,
judge
ye
?
And
they
said
further
,
We
cannot
but
speak
the
things
which
we
have
seen
and
heard
:
And
they
departed
from
the
presence
of
the
Council
,
rejoycing
that
they
were
worthy
to
suffer
shame
for
the
Name
of
Christ
;
and
daily
in
the
Temple
,
and
in
every
House
where
they
came
,
they
ceased
not
to
Teach
and
Preach
Jesus
Christ
.
And
the
Rulers
,
and
Chief
Priests
and
Pharisees
,
and
such
like
wicked
People
,
persecuted
many
of
the
Ministers
of
Christ
,
and
did
imprison
and
abuse
them
exceedingly
;
and
some
they
killed
,
only
for
preaching
the
Gospel
,
and
speaking
against
their
ungodly
Ways
and
evil
Practices
which
they
lived
and
walked
in
;
yet
notwithstanding
they
could
not
put
them
to
silence
by
all
their
Cruelties
and
Persecutions
which
they
inflicted
upon
them
,
neither
could
they
hinder
them
that
were
living
from
preaching
the
Gospel
.
And
so
it
is
good
for
every
one
of
us
to
be
faithful
unto
the
Lord
in
what
he
makes
known
unto
us
,
and
trust
him
,
and
be
willing
to
give
up
to
suffer
for
his
sake
,
if
he
calls
us
thereunto
,
and
he
will
appear
in
his
own
good
time
for
our
deliverance
,
out
of
all
our
Troubles
and
Tryals
,
both
inward
and
outward
,
wherein
we
shall
have
cause
to
bless
and
praise
the
Name
of
the
Lord
,
for
his
great
love
and
kindness
to
us
,
who
is
worthy
to
have
all
the
Honour
Glory
,
Praise
and
Thanks
;
for
unto
him
alone
it
doth
belong
,
both
from
me
,
and
from
all
that
know
him
experimentally
,
both
now
and
for
evermore
.

And
now
I
shall
men●ion
something
concerning
false
Prophets
,
who
they
are
,
an●
now
they
may
be
known
,
because
such
things
have
been
cast
upon
〈◊〉
that
have
spoken
in

Meetings
,
that
They
were
false
Prophets
,
and
if
it
were
possible
,
they
would
deceive
the
very
Elect
,
&c.
To
which
I
Answer
,
That
there
is
not
any
Person
or
People
that
live
and
walk
in
Sin
,
and
take
pleasure
and
delight
therein
,
and
plead
for
a

in

〈◊〉
term
of

,
and
say
,
That
there
is
none
can
be
set
free
from
Sin
in
this
Life
.
that
can
witness
any
thing
of
their
Election
by
the
working
of
Christ's
Spirit
in
them
;
and
all
such
are
deceived
already
by
the
deceitfulness
of
Sin
,
which
bears
rule
in
the
Hearts
of
all
the
Children
of
Disobedience
,
who
are
disobedient
to
the
Light
and
Spirit
of
Christ
in
them
;
and
suell
are
in
the
broad
way
that
leads
to
Destruction
,
and
are
in
the
state
of
Reprobation
and
Condemnation
:
But
the
true
Prophets
which
the
Lord
sent
,
prophesied
freely
,
without
either
taking
Tythes
or
Money
,
and
they
prophesied
truly
that
which
came
to
pass
;
and
they
bore
witness
against
the
false
Prophets
and
false
Shepherds
,
that
prophesied
for
Money
and
Hire
;

,
and
saith
,
Ho
,
every
●re
that
thirsteth
,
come
ye
to
the
Waters
,
and
he
that
hath
no
Money
,
come
ye
,
buy
and
eat
;
yea
,
come
buy
Wine
and
Milk
without
Money
and
without
Price
.
And
he
saith
unto
the
People
,
Wherefore
do
ye
spend
Money
for
that
which
is
not
Bread
,
and
your
Labour
for
that
which
satisfieth
not
;
Hearken
diligently
unto
me
,
saith
the
Lord
,
(
by
that
true
Prophet
)
and
eat
ye
that
which
is
good
,
and
let
your
Soul
delight
it self
in
Fatness
.
Here
People
may
see
how
the
Lord
by
his
true
Prophet
invites
every
one
for
to
come
to
the
Waters
,
and
buy
and
eat
freely
,
that
which
is
good
for
their
Souls
,
without
Money
and
without
Price
;
and
he
exhorts
them
that
they
should
not
spend
their
Money
for
that
which
is
not
Bread
,
and
their
Labour
for
that
which
would
not
satisfie
their
thirsty
Souls
.
And
now
the
generality
of
people
are
spending
and
giving
their
Money
for
that
which
is
not
the
Bread
of
Life
,
neither
will
it
satisfie
any
hungry
thirsty
Soul
that
truly
hungers
and
thirsts
after
the
Lord
and
his
Righteousness
.
And
this
true
Prophet
called
the
false
Prophets
and
false
Shepherds
,
which
spoke
and
prophesied
for
Money
,
dumb
Dogs
,
greedy
Dogs
,
which
can
never
have
enough
,
and
they
all
look
to
their
own
way
,
every
one
for
his
Gain
from
his
Quarter
:
And
he
told
them
that
they
were
blind
and
ignorant
,
and
so
they
did
not
understand
the
things
of
God.
And
now
if
people
be
not
wilfully
blind
and
ignorant
,
you
may
see
that
there
is
as
much
difference
between
the
true
Prophets
of
God
,
and
the
true
Ministers
of
Christ
,
and
the
false
Prophets
and
false
Minstors
,
that
either
preach
or
prophesie
for
Tythes
,
or
Money
,
or
both
,
as
there
is
betwixt
Light
and
Darkness
.
And
now
I
have
something
to
propound
unto
all
you
Clergy-Men
,
before
mentioned
,
which
do
profess
,
and
say
,
that
you
are
true
Believers
and
Ministers
of
Christ
,
and
that
you
follow
Christ
and
his
Ministers
for
your
Example
;
and
that
the
Scriptures
are
your
Rule
and
Guide
for
to
walk
by
;
first
,
Where
do
ye
find
or
read
in
all
the
holy
Scriptures
of
Truth
,
that
any
of
the
Ministers
of
Christ
ever
went
to
any
Schools
of
outward
Learning
,
and
staid
several
Years
there
,
and
did
commence
from
one
degree
of
Learning
unto
another
,
for
to
be
made
Ministers
of
Christ
,
as
you
Clergy-Men
did
,
and
do
now
?
And
when
you
have
been
several
Years
at
such
Schools
or
Colledges
,
until
you
think
that
you
are
Artists
,
and
are
sufficient
for
to
preach
to
People
,
then
you
get
an
Order
to
Preach
:
And
so
you
come
from
those
Schools
into
the
Country
,
and
inquire
where
there
is
a
vacant
place
,
where
there
is
no
Ministers
,
and
then
you
endeavour
to
get
that
place
for
to
Preach
at
,
if
you
like
their
Wages
;
but
if
not
,
then
you
inquire
for
to
get
a
better
place
,
where
there
is
most
Tythes
or
Money
,
which
is
worth
so
much
by
the
Year
;
and
this
is
your
Call
to
your
Ministry
▪
But
the
true
Ministers
of
Christ
were
never
called
nor
made
Ministers
after
such
a
way
and
manner
as
yours
is
.
And
is
not
this
way
of
yours
,
in
being
made
Ministers
,
like
unto
a
man
that
binds
his
Son
to
be
an
Apprentice
with
a
Trades-man
for
several
Years
to
learn
him
his
Trade
,
and
gives
him
so
much
Money
for
so
doing
;
&
when
his
time
is
expiered
,
his
Master
gives
him
his
Indentures
,
and
then
he
becomes
a
free
man
to
set
up
his
Trade
,
and
to
trade
for
himself
without
any
opposition
?
But
these
Clergy-Men
before
mentioned
,
exceed
all
the
Trades-men
in
the
World
,
that
have
any
Principle
of
Honesty
ruling
in
them
;
for
when
an
honest
Trades-man
sells
his
Commodity
,
he
delivers
it
to
them
,
(
or
some
for
them
)
that
buys
it
and
pays
for
it
:
But
these
Covetous
Clergy-Men
aforesaid
,
sell
their
Sermons
for
Tythes
,
or
Money
,
or
both
,
and
keeps
them
still
,
and
do
not
deliver
them
to
those
that
pay
for
them
:
And
when
they
have
a
mind
to
go
to
another
Town
to
Preach
,
they
may
have
some
of
their
old
Sermons
still
for
to
preach
to
that
people
;
and
if
that
people
do
not
give
them
any
Money
for
that
Sermon
,
yet
notwithstanding
they
are
paid
for
it
by
their
own
Hearers
,
which
pay
them
so
much
every
Year
for
their
Preaching
,
which
may
amount
to
ten
Shillings
,
or
more
,
for
every
Sermon
they
preach
throughout
the
whole
year
:
Did
ever
the
Ministers
of
Christ
do
any
such
things
as
these
?
And
further
,
where
do
you
find
or
read
in
all
the
Scriptures
,
that
any
of
the
Ministers
of
Christ
took
either
Tythes
or
Money
for
their
Preaching
,
or
went
to
Law
with
any
sort
of
People
,
and
took
away
their
Goods
and
Chattels
,
and
cast
them
into
Prisons
for
not
paying
of
them
Tythes
,
or
Money
for
their
Preaching
,
as
these
ungodly
covetous
Clergy-Men
have
done
unto
as
these
many
Years
,
and
still
continues
and
goes
on
in
these
wicked
ungodly
Practices
against
us
,
as
is
before
mentioned
?
And
further
,
where
do
ye
find
or
read
in
all
the
Scriptures
,
that
any
of
the
Ministers
of
Christ
,
when
they
went
to
preach
,
took
a
Text
of
other
Mens
Words
,
and
from
those
words
raised
Doctrines
,
Reasons
,
Motives
,
Uses
and
Applications
,
as
you
Clergy-Men
do
now
?
And
further
,
where
do
you
find
or
read
in
all
the
Scriptures
,
that
any
of
the
Ministers
of
Christ
baptized
Infants
,
and
had
Sureties
to
stand
up
for
them
,
and
to
promise
that
they
shall
forsake
the
Devil
,
and
all
his
Works
,
the
vain
Pomp
and
Glory
of
the
World
,
with
all
Covetous
Desires
of
the
same
,
the
Carnal
Desires
of
the
Flesh
,
so
that
they
will
not
follow
nor
be
led
by
them
.
And
all
this
the
Witnesses
promise
in
the
behalf
of
that
Child
,
or
Children
that
they
stand
up
for
;
and
when
the
Priest
asketh
those
Witnesses
,
whether
they
do
forsake
the
Devil
and
all
his
Works
,
and
all
things
above
expressed
,
they
say
,
that
They
do
forsake
them
all
;
which
is
a
Lye
in
the
sight
of
God
and
his
People
.
And
these
Persons
and
People
which
do
so
promise
and
say
as
aforesaid
,
they
are
such
as
live
and
act
in
sin
and
evil
,
which
is
of
the
Devil
,
who
is
the
author
of
all
sin
and
evil
that
is
committed
against
God
by
all
the
Sons
and
Daughters
of
men
in
the
fall
,
who
are
unregenerated
,
and
not
born
again
of
the
Water
and
Spirit
of
Life
:
and
these
people
which
do
thus
say
and
promise
,
as
aforesaid
,
they
are
such
as
do
not
believe
that
Perfection
from
Sin
can
be
attained
unto
in
this
Life
;
and
that
none
shall
be
set
free
from
Sin
so
long
as
they
live
in
this
World
;
such
as
these
take
upon
them
to
be
called
Godfathers
,
and
Godmothers
;
and
the
Children
which
these
people
stand
up
for
and
promise
so
on
their
behalf
,
are
taught
to
ask
them
Blessing
,
and
to
call
them
Godfathers
and
Godmothers
;
which
thing
is
unwarrantable
in
the
fight
of
God
,
the
Maker
and
Creator
of
all
mankind
,
and
of
all
other
Creatures
whatsoever
.
And
how
dare
any
People
be
so
bold
and
wicked
,
as
to
take
upon
them
for
to
be
so
called
,
as
aforesaid
?
And
further
,
where
do
you
find
or
read
in
all
the
Scriptures
,
that
any
of
the
Ministers
of
Christ
did
Marry
any
People
,
or
did
say
Prayers
over
the
Dead
,
or
Churched
any
Women
,
as
it
is
called
;
and
all
these
things
the
Clergy-Men
aforesaid
,
do
,
and
practice
for
Money
,
besides
their
Tithes
and
Money
for
Preaching
.
And
further
,
where
do
ye
find
or
read
in
all
the
Scriptures
,
that
any
of
the
true
Bishops
and
Ministers
of
Christ
,
that
were
ordained
and
appointed
by
him
,
did
assume
to
themselves
,
and
did
take
upon
them
such
high
Names
and
Titles
,
as
to
be
called
Lord
and
Masters
,
as
these
Bishops
and
Clergy-Men
do
●ow
?
And
where
do
ye
find
or
read
in
all
the
Scriptures
,
●●at
Timothy
and
Titus
were
called
Lord
Bishops
,
which
were
true
Bishops
,
and
ordained
of
God
?
And
where
had
they
any
Bishopricks
,
and
many
hundreds
of
Pounds
by
the
Year
,
as
these
Bishops
have
now
?
And
are
not
these
great
Names
and
Titles
,
and
these
rich
Bishopricks
,
which
they
own
and
have
gotten
to
themselves
,
contrary
to
the
mind
and
will
of
God
,
and
contrary
to
the
practice
of
the
true
Bishops
which
were
ordained
of
the
Lord
,
and
contrary
to
the
Scriptures
,
be
not
a
means
to
beget
them
into
Pride
and
Highmindedness
,
and
Self-exaltation
,
and
not
into
Humility
and
Lowliness
of
Heart
;
so
as
to
be
gifted
and
qualified
as
the
true
Bishops
were
,
that
were
ordain'd
of
God
?
And
where
do
you
find
or
read
in
all
the
Scriptures
,
that
ever
any
of
the
true
Prophets
or
Ministers
of
Christ
were
called
Master
,
as
a
Name
or
Title
to
set
up
Self
above
the
common
sort
of
People
?
And
did
not
Christ
cry
Wo
against
all
such
that
went
in
long
Robes
,
and
had
the
uppermost
Room
at
Feasts
,
and
love
Greetings
in
the
Markets
,
and
the
Chief
Seats
in
the
Synagogues
,
and
are
called
of
men
Rabbi
,
which
is
Master
?
And
Christ
said
unto
his
Ministers
,
Be
not
ye
called
Masters
,
for
one
is
your
Master
,
even
Christ
,
and
ye
are
Brethren
;
and
be
that
is
the
greatest
among
you
,
shall
be
your
Servant
.
And
the
Apostle
Paul
who
was
a
true
Minister
of
Christ
,
said
,
That
though
I
be
free
from
all
Men
,
yet
I
have
made
my self
Servant
unto
all
,
that
I
might
gain
the
more
.
And
so
he
was
not
called
Lord
,
nor
Master
,
as
a
flattering
Title
amongst
men
,
which
upholds
Pride
and
Highmindedness
,
as
these
Bishops
and
Clergy-Men
are
now
?
And
did
ever
the
Ministers
of
Christ
demand
ten
Shillings
for
a
Mortuary
,
and
take
it
,
as
these
Clergy-Men
do
now
?
And
further
,
where
do
you
find
or
read
in
all
the
Scriptures
,
that
any
of
the
Ministers
of
Christ
set
People
to
sing
David's
Psalms
,
which
are
put
into
Rhime
and
Meter
,
by
Hopkins
and
S●erhould
,
and
others
?
And
whether
they
that
sing
David's
Psalms
now
,
and
are
not
in
his
state
and
condition
that
he
was
in
,
when
he
spoke
those
Words
,
which
are
recorded
in
the
Book
of
Psalms
?
do
not
such
sing
Lyes
in
Hypocrisie
,
yea
or
nay
?
For
though
those
Sayings
were
true
in
David
,
because
he
was
in
that
condition
which
he
spoke
of
at
that
time
,
when
he
spoke
those
Words
;
but
those
Sayings
are
not
true
in
them
that
know
nothing
of
his
condition
;
for
he
was
in
several
conditions
,
as
may
be
seen
in
the
Book
of
Psalms
:
And
how
can
people
sing
so
long
as
their
Souls
are
in
Captivity
,
and
they
themselves
in
bondage
to
Sin
;
and
so
people
must
come
to
know
Salvation
and
Redemption
wrought
by
Christ
in
them
from
their
Sins
and
Iniquities
,
before
they
can
sing
in
Truth
?
And
further
,
where
do
you
find
or
read
that
the
Ministers
of
Christ
had
a
Book
of
Common-Prayer
,
or
a
Mass-Book
provided
for
them
,
for
to
read
to
people
for
Money
,
as
these
Clergy-Men
do
now
?
Or
where
do
ye
find
in
all
the
Scriptures
,
that
any
of
the
Ministers
of
Christ
,
or
any
other
People
,
that
were
true
Believers
and
Followers
of
Christ
,
did
ever
read
and
say
their
Prayers
in
a
Book
,
when
the
Lord
moved
them
by
his
holy
Spirit
to
pray
unto
him
;
but
they
waited
upon
the
Lord
until
they
were
endued
with
Power
from
on
High
;
and
then
they
preached
and
prayed
according
as
the
Lord
by
his
Spirit
in
them
did
help
and
assist
them
,
and
gave
them
utterance
for
to
do
and
perform
what
the
Lord
did
require
of
them
,
as
appertaining
to
the
Worship
and
Service
of
God.
And
now
I
shall
propound
one
thing
more
,
which
is
of
great
Concernment
;
Where
do
ye
find
or
read
in
all
the
Scriptures
,
that
ever
any
of
the
Ministers
of
Christ
,
or
any
true
Christians
or
Saints
,
who
were
true
Believers
and
Followers
of
Christ
,
that
any
of
them
did
compel
or
demand
any
Money
of
any
sort
of
People
,
for
mending
and
repairing
those
Houses
and
Places
where
the
true
Ministers
and
People
of
God
meet
for
to
worship
him
in
.
And
now
I
have
something
more
to
declare
unto
all
that
profess
Christianity
,
and
Salvation
by
Christ
,
which
do
say
and
believe
,
that
they
are
already
Saved
,
and
Redeemed
,
and
Justified
by
Christ
and
his
Righteousness
without
them
,
although
they
be
of
that
Faith
and
Perswasion
,
that
They
must
live
in
Sin
as
long
as
they
live
upon
the
Earth
;
and
that
none
can
be
set
free
from
Sin
in
this
Life
,
&c.
To
which
I
Answer
;
That
all
that
are
of
that
Faith
and
Perswasion
are
deceived
by
the
Deceiver
,
and
that
Faith
and
Perswasion
was
never
begotten
by
the
Lord
,
but
by
the
evil
one
,
who
is
the
author
of
all
Sin
and
Evil
:
For
I
do
affirm
,
that
all
People
that
know
Christ
spiritually
and
experimentally
to
be
their
Saviour
and
Redeemer
,
and
that
he
hath
already
saved
,
and
redeemed
,
and
justified
them
;
then
no
such
,
persons
nor
〈◊〉
will
any
more
plead
for
Sin
,
nor
a
continuance
in
〈◊〉
term
of
Life
;
but
all
such
people
do
believe
that
Freedom
from
Sin
is
to
be
attained
unto
in
this
Life
:
and
all
such
People
that
are
truly
saved
,
and
redeemed
,
and
justified
by
Christ
,
as
aforesaid
,
they
hate
Sin
and
every
appearance
of
it
,
in
Thoughts
,
Words
end
Actions
,
both
in
themselves
,
and
in
all
others
where
they
see
Sin
〈…〉
ed
,
acted
and
done
against
the
Lord
;
But
mark
what
followes
,
That
before
any
can
come
to
know
experimentally
that
Christ
hath
saved
and
redeemed
,
and
justified
them
,
they
must
first
come
to
know
Sin
to
be
mortified
,
killed
,
and
destroyed
in
their
Hea●●
by
the
working
of
the
Power
,
and
Spirit
of
Christ
in
them
;
and
also
they
must
come
to
know
Sanctification
to
be
wrought
in
their
Hearts
by
the
power
of
the
Lord
in
them
,
before
that
they
can
come
to
know
,
or
to
witness
Justification
by
Christ
,
and
his
Righteousness
:
For
all
that
are
or
shall
be
truly
saved
and
redeemed
,
and
justified
by
Christ
,
they
are
and
shall
be
saved
,
and
redeemed
,
and
justified
by
Christ
from
their
Sins
,
and
from
their
Iniquities
;
but
not
in
their
Sins
,
nor
in
their
Iniquities
;
for
Christ
Jesus
neither
saves
,
nor
redeems
,
nor
justifieth
any
Man
or
Woman
is
their
Sins
,
but
from
their
sins
;
and
whosoever
he
,
she
,
or
they
are
,
that
live
and
act
in
Sin
and
Evil
,
and
takes
pleasure
and
delight
therein
,
and
pleads
for
a
continuance
in
Sin
term
of
Life
,
and
believes
that
there
is
none
that
can
be
set
free
from
Sin
in
this
Life
their
is
no
such
persons
nor
people
that
are
already
say
〈◊〉
nor
redeemed
,
not
justified
by
Christ
and
his
Righteousness
.
But
some
may
object
,
and
say
,
Did
not
Christ
come
to
save
Sinners
and
to
justifie
〈…〉
.
It
is
true
that
he
did
so
;
but
he
came
not
to
save
Sinners
in
their
sins
,
nor
to
justifie
the
Ungodly
in
their
Ungodliness
,
but
from
their
Sins
,
and
from
their
Ungodliness
;
as
they
in
love
and
obedience
to
God
came
to
forsake
their
Sins
and
their
Ungodliness
.
And
there
is
no
Man
nor
Woman
upon
the
Earth
that
can
know
Christ
in
Truth
,
and
experimentally
to
be
their
Saviour
and
Redeemer
,
and
Justifier
,
any
further
than
he
doth
save
,
and
redeem
,
and
justifie
them
from
their
Sins
,
and
from
their
Ungodliness
,
so
as
to
mortifie
and
destroy
Sin
in
them
.
But
some
may
say
,
That
the
Righteousness
of
Christ
is
imputed
unto
us
.
It
is
true
,
it
is
so
unto
his
people
,
but
the
Righteousness
of
Christ
is
not
imputed
to
any
one
that
lives
and
walks
in
Unrighteousness
,
and
takes
pleasure
and
delight
therein
;
read
these
Scriptures

And
now
whereas
I
have
heard
many
People
say
,
That
the
Quakers
Religion
is
but
a
new
upstart
Religion
,
and
is
but
of
a
few
Years
standing
,
&c.
To
which
I
Answer
;
That
I
can
make
it
appear
by
sufficient
Grounds
and
Reasons
,
that
our
Religion
and
Principles
,
and
Doctrine
which
we
preach
and
hold
forth
unto
all
people
where
we
come
,
it
is
of
above
sixteen
Hundred
Years
standing
;
and
we
are
in
the
same
Faith
,
Hope
and
Belief
of
God
and
Christ
,
and
walk
in
the
same
Light
,
Life
,
and
Spirit
of
Christ
,
and
in
the
same
Way
and
Practice
,
as
to
the
Worship
of
God
,
and
Christ
and
his
Ministers
,
and
Disciples
did
Preach
,
and
Teach
,
and
Practice
,
and
hold
forth
unto
all
people
where
they
came
,
above
sixteen
Hundred
Years
ago
.
And
now
all
you
Clergy-Men
aforesaid
,
that
say
you
are
Ministers
of
Christ
,
and
the
Scriptures
are
your
Rule
to
walk
by
,
Answer
all
these
Things
which
are
here
laid
to
your
Charge
by
plain
Scriptures
,
without
wresting
or
perverting
any
of
them
to
a
wrong
sence
,
and
answer
in
plainness
,
without
your
Logick
or
Syllogisms
,
or
without
using
any
of
your
Hebrew
,
Greek
or
Latin
,
which
any
carnal
earthly-minded
Men
may
have
,
that
are
brought
up
Schollars
at
your
Schools
,
which
are
in
capacity
to
learn
humane
Learning
,
which
may
be
bought
for
Money
.
And
so
it
appears
plainly
,
both
in
the
sight
of
God
,
and
his
People
,
by
your
wicked
ungodly
Actions
and
Practices
,
which
you
have
done
and
acted
both
against
the
Lord
,
his
Truth
and
People
,
that
you
have
received
nothing
from
God
,
as
the
true
Ministers
of
Christ
did
,
and
doth
row
;
neither
were
you
brought
up
at
Christ's
School
,
nor
never
were
taught
of
him
,
as
the
true
Ministers
of
Christ
were
,
and
are
now
;
and
so
what
you
have
you
and
your
Friends
have
bought
with
Money
;
and
so
you
sell
it
again
for
Money
to
those
that
are
willing
to
be
taught
by
you
,
which
knows
no
better
teaching
,
and
so
you
are
a
means
to
bring
up
people
that
are
your
Hearers
,
in
Darkness
,
Blindness
and
Ignorance
,
as
you
your selves
are
in
;
and
so
you
all
live
without
the
true
Knowledge
and
Injoyment
of
God
in
this
world
:
And
so
the
People
of
the
Lord
that
are
taught
of
him
by
his
Holy
Spirit
,
cannot
for
good
Conscience-sake
buy
any
of
your
deceitful
Wares
,
nor
cannot
give
you
any
Tythes
,
nor
Money
for
preaching
,
which
speak
and
preach
against
Perfection
from
Sin
in
this
Life
,
and
say
that
None
can
be
set
free
from
Sin
in
this
Life
;
and
so
you
deny
the
sufficiency
of
Christ
,
and
his
Commands
,
and
your
Faith
and
Belief
stands
in
him
who
is
the
author
of
all
Sin
and
Evil
,
which
is
the
Devil
;
and
so
your
speaking
and
preaching
,
as
aforesaid
,
doth
incourage
and
strengthen
the
Wicked
in
their
Wickedness
,
and
you
are
a
means
to
beget
them
into
Unbelief
,
that
they
may
believe
as
you
do
,
that
their
is
no
Perfection
from
Sin
in
this
Life
:
And
so
neither
you
,
nor
they
that
are
your
Hearers
,
do
press
after
Perfection
,
because
you
do
not
believe
that
such
a
good
state
and
condition
can
be
attained
unto
in
this
Life
;
and
so
your
Doctrine
,
and
Principles
,
and
Practices
,
are
all
quite
contrary
to
the
Doctrines
,
and
Principles
,
and
Practices
of
Christ
and
his
Ministers
,
and
all
true
Believers
and
Followers
of
Christ
,
and
also
quite
contrary
to
the
Scriptures
of
Truth
in
every
thing
that
you
do
and
practice
concerning
the
Worship
of
God
,
and
therefore
you
are
to
be
disowned
and
denyed
by
all
good
Christians
that
truly
fear
the
Lord
,
and
loves
him
in
Truth
and
in
Sincerity
of
heart
;
and
all
your
Preaching
and
Praying
is
abomination
in
the
sight
of
the
Lord
,
and
he
will
not
hear
nor
answer
the
Prayers
of
the
Wicked
,
that
live
and
delight
in
Sin
and
Wickedness
,
and
walk
and
act
in
such
wicked
Wayes
and
Practices
as
these
Clergy-Men
do
now
,
which
is
all
quite
contrary
to
the
〈◊〉
Way
of
God.
And
now
I
have
something
to
mention
and
lay
before
you
all
,
that
are
called
Christians
,
of
all
sorts
of
Professions
and
Religions
,
whether
they
be
called
Quakers
,
or
any
other
sort
of
Professions
or
Religions
whatsoever
,
that
do
say
,
and
believe
that
God
is
your
Father
,
and
Christ
is
your
Saviour
;
I
desire
that
every
one
would
seriously
weigh
and
consider
their
own
Ways
and
Doings
,
and
meditate
and
ponder
the
things
of
God
in
our
own
Hearts
and
Souls
,
that
every
one
may
come
to
see
,
and
to
know
what
assurance
they
have
of
the
Love
of
God
to
their
Immortal
Souls
,
and
of
their
Eternal
and
Everlasting
Inheritance
with
the
Lord
in
his
heavenly
Kingdom
for
evermore
,
when
Time
here
in
this
World
shall
come
to
an
End
with
us
all
:
For
it
is
not
a
bare
outward
Profession
of
any
Religion
whatsoever
that
will
avail
any
of
us
,
as
to
our
own
Souls
true
Peace
and
Happiness
with
the
Lord
for
ever
,
but
it
must
be
a
real
Possession
,
and
an
Enjoyment
of
the
Love
of
God
in
our
own
Hearts
,
that
doth
avail
and
satisfie
our
Souls
,
which
no
Man
nor
Woman
upon
the
face
of
the
Earth
can
come
to
enjoy
the
Love
of
God
,
and
true
Peace
and
Comfort
in
him
,
(
which
is
of
more
worth
and
value
than
all
the
outward
Enjoyments
that
are
in
the
whole
World
)
so
long
as
they
live
in
Sin
,
and
take
pleasure
and
delight
therein
:
for
God
is
pure
,
holy
and
righteous
,
and
he
is
of
purer
Eyes
than
to
behold
Iniquity
,
as
to
allow
of
it
in
any
one
;
and
without
Holiness
no
Man
nor
Woman
can
enjoy
the
Love
and
Presence
of
God
to
his
Soul's
Comfort
and
true
Satisfaction
in
him
;
For
it
is
not
every
one
that
saith
Lord
,
Lord
,
that
shall
enter
into
the
Kingdom
of
Heaven
,
but
it
is
he
and
they
,
that
do
the
Will
of
God
that
shall
enter
into
his
Kingdom
:
And
it
is
not
the
Hearers
,
nor
the
fair
Sayers
,
nor
them
that
have
but
an
outward
knowledge
of
God
,
that
shall
be
Justified
by
the
Lord
;
but
it
is
the
Doers
of
the
Will
of
God
,
and
them
only
that
the
Lord
will
Justifio
,
and
speak
Peace
unto
their
Immortal
Souls
.
And
so
I
desire
that
none
would
deceive
their
own
Souls
,
in
thinking
better
of
themselves
then
they
are
;
for
the
Apostle
Paul
saith
,
Be
not
deceived
,
for
God
will
not
be
mocked
,
for
such
as
every
one
soweth
,
such
must
they
reap
,
whether
it
be
Good
or
Evil
▪
And
now
I
appeal
to
the
Witness
of
God
in
every
Heart
and
Conscience
,
of
what
Name
or
Religion
soever
you
are
of
,
Whether
you
are
come
so
far
into
the
true
Christian
Life
,
as
to
believe
and
obey
the
first
Principle
of
the
true
Christian
Religion
?
And
whether
you
are
come
so
far
into
the
Life
of
Truth
,
and
into
the
practice
of
the
holy
Scriptures
,
as
to
let
your
Yea
be
Yea
,
and
your
Nay
be
Nay
,
and
do
not
alter
nor
change
your
Minds
and
Thoughts
after
you
have
said
it
,
but
let
Yea
and
Nay
stand
after
you
have
spoken
it
,
and
do
and
perform
what
you
have
said
?
And
so
every
one
ought-to
be
watchful
and
careful
how
to
speak
and
act
,
before
they
either
speak
or
act
,
l●st
they
offend
the
Lord
by
so
doing
;
for
the
Apostle
James
saith
,
If
any
man
among
you
seem
to
be
Religious
,
and
brid●eth
not
his
Tongue
,
but
deceiveth
his
own
Heart
,
this
man's
Religion
is
vain
.
And
whosoever
they
be
that
promise
for
to
do
such
and
such
things
,
which
are
just
and
lawful
to
be
done
,
and
ought
to
be
performed
;
then
if
they
that
promise
for
to
do
such
things
,
do
not
mind
nor
regard
to
perform
their
Words
and
Promises
which
they
have
spoken
and
promised
,
their
Religion
is
vain
,
let
them
profess
what
they
will.
For
such
Men
and
Women
that
make
Promises
one
to
another
,
and
do
not
mind
nor
regard
to
perform
them
,
no
such
persons
ought
to
be
believed
,
nor
trusted
,
nor
to
be
confided
in
;
and
such
have
not
a
true
Bridle
for
their
Tongues
,
and
so
their
Religion
is
vain
and
naught
,
and
it
is
not
the
true
Christian
Religion
;
read
these
Scriptures
,
James
1.
26
,
27.
Gal.
6.
7
,
8.
Matth.
5.
37.
And
now
I
desire
all
Civil
,
Sober-minded
people
,
that
profess
Christianity
,
and
the
Scriptures
to
be
your
Rule
,
that
you
would
be
so
moderate
,
as
to
read
these
Scriptures
herein
set
down
,
and
compare
these
Scriptures
,
and
the
holy
Lives
and
Conversations
of
Christ
and
his
Ministers
,
and
them
that
were
true
Believers
and
Followers
of
Christ
,
with
the
Unholy
Lives
and
Conversations
of
these
Clergy-Men
aforesaid
;
and
also
their
Cruelties
and
Persecutions
against
those
that
truly
fear
the
Lord
;
and
also
their
Selfish
Covetous
Actions
and
Practices
which
they
do
and
practice
for
Tythes
and
Money
,
under
pretence
of
being
Ministers
of
Christ
,
and
Preachers
of
the
Gospel
;
And
if
you
do
understand
those
Scriptures
in
Truth
,
as
they
are
,
and
be
not
partial
in
your
Judgment
,
then
you
may
see
that
there
it
as
much
difference
betwixt
the
Doctrine
,
and
Principles
,
and
Practices
of
Christ
and
his
Ministers
,
and
the
Doctrine
,
and
Principles
,
and
Practices
of
the
Clergy-Men
aforesaid
,
as
there
is
betwixt
Light
and
Darkness
:
And
therefore
I
would
not
have
you
for
to
speak
any
Evil
against
that
Way
which
you
know
not
what
it
is
;
But
I
would
have
you
first
for
to
try
all
things
,
and
hold
fast
that
which
is
good
.
