HERE is something of Concernment in Jreland, to be taken notice off: by all Officers and soldiers, & others in Authority and all sorts of People whatsoever, a Warning and a Charge to you is, that you stand Clear and Acquit yourselves like men (for ever) Never to be uphoulders of those Priests as you tender the everlasting good of your souls; have no fellowship with them, neither come you near their Tents, for the Lord hath a purpose to destroy them, And his Controversy is against them, and all that takes their parts. FOr here are many young scholars lately come over into Jreland young Priests sent from Oxford, & Cambridg, and these young Priests the Committee of Priests sitting at Dublin have approved of them, here they come & Challenge the tenth part of our goods, they say is now their own, and where they can find an old ruined Mass-house, than they get an Order for the repairing of it; And if any for Conscience sake should refuse paying towards the mending of the Pope's old houses, than the evil Justices of the Peace, which the Land is full of, grants forth their warrants to distrain, and take away people's goods, because they cannot pay rates for the repairing of the Papists Mass-houses, as lately a widow woman at Dublin had much goods taken from her, because for Conscience sake she could not pay towards the mending of St. Patrick's Church so Called; and a friend at Rosse had his coat taken off his back for not paying towards the mending of an old Mass-house in the County of Wexford, and divers others might be instanced in the Nation: Now when this young Priest hath gotten his Mass-house finished, than he hath three or four Parishes laid together, to maintain himself with the tenths thereof, he cares not now, he hath gotten four or five Parishes (perhaps) not four Protestant families in them all, which Tithes formerly used to serve four or five Popish Priests very well, will now scarcely serve this young Protestant priest which makes the Papists to wonder what great Bellies the Protestant Priests have gotten, that they must have four times more than their Priests used to have; So that these Priests lately come over, are never like to convince the Papists with sound Doctrine, their lives and conversations are so bad, that the Papists beholds what devourers they are, that one of them must have as much as four of theirs; So judge you the wickedness of these young Priests is so great, that the Papists now abhors to come at their own Mass-houses; therefore now there is an Order to compel them to hear these Priests in Jreland once a week, or else they must pay half a Crown, and then they shall be dispensed withal, and here the Papists sees you again, what manner of Christians you are, that can pardon People for money, like them at Rome, but the Light is come that hath made you manifest praised be the Lord for ever; who will remember your wickedness, and your sins are before him, and the Lord will recompense the evil that you have done upon your own heads, and those that sent you hither shall not escape that gave every one of these young Priests a great sum of money for their transportation, which is a shame to the Nation; and a shame to the Protestants that their Priests should be such great eaters; and have such great sums of money to bring them over, when many poor families in England are like to starve for lack of bread. Now these are unlike the first planters of the gospel, they used to travel from City to City; and from one Country to another publishing the gospel freely, from house to house eating what was set before them these had no certain dwelling place as these young Planters have; who will not publish their Gospel without money, nor pray nor sing without money, who makes Insurrections and Mutinies in all Nations where ever they come or go, their fruits makes them manifest in all placesâ–Ş my soul abhors their wicked practices, and the spirit of the Lord is grieved with their Abominations, and he will ease himself of his Enemies, and aveng himself on his Adversaries, and this is the word of the Lord to the Priests of this Nation. E. C. And the two places Oxford and Cambridg from whence these scholars come who makes Ministers, the thing which is seen conserning them is: They are like two woods full of of Black trees, which are blackened over with smoke and a few leaves hanging drooping on the tops of them, like unto trees at the fall of the leaf, and they stand as it were in a quagmire, which is made up with the fat of the Nations, and the Exactings of poor people, and wringing of them, like a great heap of miry soft Earth; And when the wind blows the quagmire puffs at the bottom of it, & there is but little moss grows on the trees because of the smoke, and these trees bears no fruit, but a few drooping leaves, as it were in the end of Summer, So they stand as the shaking off with a great wind, whose leaf fades, and so as they are carried out of that quagmire & wood & bank undressed, they are planted in the Country like starved trees in the forest, beaten with winds and weather, dried with the bark on, and some moss on them, and scarcely leaves: Now these be the fuel for the fire, which cumbers the ground fruitless trees that the Nations & the Earth hath lain like a wilderness, and these trees have not borne fruit, and their leaf fades and falls, and the fruitful trees of the field begin to clap their hands who bears the fruit, whose leaf never fades nor falls, that are by the River side, and the smoke of these two woods before mentioned have almost smoked off all the Bark of them, for they have scarcely the out side of them, nor leaves but are drooping down continually, and they must all drop off and appear bare, for they have not any to cover them, and all the work and intention of their model is, to get money to make Ministers, which they have lately put forth in Print; Are these like the Apostles in this? have not they thrust our Christ and denied the faith, and let Christ have no room but in their mouths to talk of him? had ever Christ any room but in the manger amongst the professers, and them that lived in lip service, and their hearts a far off from God? had not the great professors Hebrew, Greek, and Latin, in the days of old, the great talkers of Christ, and he had no place amongst them, but in the Manger in the Stable; Are not you making Ministers and begging of the Gentry? and frighting their evil Consciences if they will not give it you, and the highest when you have made them is but Hebrew Greek and Latin, which is but natural; and so is but a natural man, and the natural man receives not the things of God, though he hath Hebrew Greek and Latin, & though they may talk of Christ in those Languages, yet will they put Christ in the Stable and in the Manger, and let him have no room in the Synnagogues as the Jews would not, but were all full of wrath & rose up against him and put him out, and do not you Ministers put out of your Synnagogues, & put into prison, if they should not put into your mouths, surely people will be wise & not spend their money any longer for that which is not Bread.
