THey who claim Tithes as a divine right, professing themselves to be Ministers of Christ, and the new Covenant, have long deceived the people, seeing neither Christ, nor his Gospel Ministers ever practised any such things in that Covenant, who were made able Ministers thereof, to preach the Gospel for Gospel allowance without Tithes, as hereafter will appear, and also without a set maintenance, of 20. 40. 60. 100 or 200 l. by the year.  
2. They who profess themselves to be Ministers of Christ, and transgresseth, not abiding, in his Doctrine, have not God, 2 john 9 and are not to be received by believers; but such are the Priests of these times; therefore receive them not into your house, neither bid them God speed, lest you in so doing be made partakers of their evil deeds, 2 john 9.10, il.  
3. They who claim Tithes of the people, from that of Melchizedeck meeting Abraham, when he returned from the slaughter of the Kings after the Conquest, and blessed him, who then freely without any Command, or known Law, than voluntarily for his blessing, gave him the tenth of spoils, returning the rest into their places, at that present, Tithes being a freewill offering, and no command, neither was they then given by a Law, nor any more there to be done, neither to Melchizedeck nor his successors that were after his order, therefore according to that of Melchizedecke, tithes was not after his order for succeeding ages; but there begun, and ended in that thing never done before, nor after according to that order: but the Priests of these times, who call themselves Ministers, that take Tithes of the people, before their enemies are conquered and subdued, and hath no blessing for them neither, but before conquest take tithes of the people, and compel them to pay them by a Law successively, such are not after Melchizedeck the figure, and then likeness of Christ not the substance, but Christ is now come the greater, who is the end of all Figures, and likeness of him, and he now reigns, who is after Melchizedeck, and over, who endures for ever, the end and substance, and sum of all things before, and after Abraham, and the Types, in the life and power of truth, over all God blessed for ever: Therefore the Priests of the world, who call themselves Gospel ministers, but are not, but by their Logic, fallacies, and Philosophy, which is vain deceit, Colos. 2.8. hath in that long deceived the people; and if they could have proved that they had been as Melchizedeck was when he met Abraham, which they could not, but if they had, they were but to have taken Tithes of the Army, to wit the tenth of the spoils only, and not before, but after the Conquest, provided, that they had brought them forth from God a blessing, and if the Soldiery would freely, they might have given them a tenth out of the spoils, but not out of men's estates, but no command for tenths out of the Spoils; it might have been a freewill offering only, at one time and no more, Gen, i4. answering that in Heb. 7.  
4 They who take not of the Soldiery only, but country also, not the tenth of spoils, but men's labours are contrary to Melchizedecks' order, therefore from that to be denied; and they who take tenths also before the conquest whilst people are burdened with Sin, and Sinful, oppressed by their enemies, and adversary, are there also contrary; so they likewise who neither meet the Conqueror, nor bring forth for him any blessing, where the Conquest is, such have no right in that to receive a gift, the tenths of the spoils only, therefore are these by such conquerors and soldiers to be denied, for such are not after the order of him, who was, and is, in the time of freewill offerings before the Law, and witnessed through the Law, in the same place out of Egyt, where Abraham dwells, and his seed that are in Abraham to see the end upon the rock, witnessing the ancient of days through the Cloud, re●●●…nder, and then stand over, where the Priests of the world stand out, who are the usurpers ruling in Tyranny over the people, bond and free, in that compelling people to pay tithes by a Law, before they have conquered their enemies, and have no blessing for them that are returned, who divide the spoil, and now begin to blossom, seeing them (the Peiests) who have lost and are without the blessing, and themselves yet under the curse, as Ham was, who lives in the disobedience to Christ, and the New-Covenant, being by nature and in it, yet the children of wrath, serving divers lusts and pleasures, who are not after the order of Melchizedeck, neither before the Law, with such yet, as follow the error of Balaam, who go on in the ways of Cam, jude 1i. Gen. 3. but such are the Priests of the world, who call themselves Ministers of the Gospel, having no other proof nor warrant but to say so, as those who said they were the children of Abraham, and said, God was their Father, but had no other proof but to lay so, for their nature's properties, and actions declared the contrary; so that Christ the Gospel spirit told them, they were of their father the Devil, and his works they would do; and if I say so to you the Priests and national Ministers, your fruits declare the same; to wit, that you are of your father the Devil, oppressing the people, and this spirit that tells you so, is not Ungospellike, but agreeing thereunto, john 8.45. Mat. 20. the 34. There you the tything Priests are by the faithful Abrahamites to be denied, and your ways by them is to be again to others testified, Ephes. 5. i1. You, and your ways, and worships being with them weighed and tried, and now are found with Nebuchadnezar, and belshazar, who have not humbled yourselves, also to be too high, and your Kingdom is to be taken from you, Mene, Mene, Tekel, Eupharsin. Dan. 5.26.27, 28.  
5 The Priests, who call themselves Ministers, are proved to be contrary to Melchizedecks' order before the Law, in receiving Tithes, and now also contrary to the Aacronical and Levitical order, not doing their service for the Tithes, a peculiar gift to the Aronicall and levitical Priesthood, having no other inheritance, and so set apart and ordained for that service in its time, and after ended, therefore the Priests are without all order for that, and no ways can prove their right to them, but from Popes to bishops, and so to Priests their successors, therefore from the Pope's father are they risen up to them, and they from the Pope, and the Pope from the Devil; up Priests to the sides of the pit, for now about your Tithes are you weighed and tried, turn under, they who had a command to receive Tithes, had no other inheritance, Numbers 18.20. to the 25, etc. and were set apart to serve in the aaronical and levitical Priesthood, and had the Tithes a peculiar gift for that service only, during that Ministration; then these that claim Tithes by a Law, and are not aaronical and levitical, who do not the service therein contained in that Law, under that Priesthood, and are without their order, who do not their service, are deceivers of the people, and nations, which God is against; but such are the Priests of the world, who takes tithes, who call themselves Ministers of the Gospel, but are neither after the Legal order, nor Gospel Ministration, therefore are they to be denied by all those that witness Christ jesus come in the flesh; and to put an end to the Aronicall and levitical Priesthood, and is of another Tribe, to wit, the Tribe of judah, that had no command to take Tithes, who now reigns over all, God blessed for ever. And it is the Sum of Abraham, the Sum of Melchizedeck, of Aaron, and Levi, and of all things contained in the Law and fyrst Covenant, which is disannulled and another now established upon better promises; for he took away the fyrst that he might establish the second, who now liveth, the Saints High Priest, and sum of all things ●s here spoken of, over all God blessed for ever, who is able to save to the uttermost all those that come to God by him, the sum and substance of all things there spoken of, Heb. 7.8, 9, i0, cap.  
7 They who say they are Ministers of Christ and the Gospel, and take thought and care beforehand with a people, or before they settle with a people, agreed with to have Tithes or a set maintainace, so much by the year, such reject Christ's Counsel, and show their distrust and infydelity, therefore no Ministers of his, seeing that Christ jesus, the dear Son of God, and only begotten of the Father, when he sent his Ministers into the world to preach his Gospel, and to turn people from darkness to the light; he said to them that he sent forth, take no thought what ye shall eat, nor what you shall drink, nor wherewith you shall be clothed, for after these things do the Gentiles and Nations of the world seek and look after; they went upon that account, to wit freeiy and wanted not, Mat. 6.25.26. Luke i2. 22 23, Neither had they any set means; but such as distrust, and are not willing to serve Christ upon that account, are not content with Gospel allowance, but take thought and care before for earthly things, are carnally minded which is death, Rom. 8. Who have set maintenances agreed for by the year before hand, contrary to Christ's Counsel and Gospel order therein, but such are national and ungospellike Ministers, who contemn Christ's Counsel and authority, and despising that good Gospel order and dominion; therefore such in that nature, are no Ministers of Christ, nor the Gospel, but are with the world in their ways, and worships, customs, and vain Heathenish observations, and though the subtle Foxes have holes, and the birds of the air have nests, yet the light which changeth not, let's us see all subtle deceitful spirits, and roving minds, which fly from the light, and dare not appear before it to be tried with it, yet to that light which searcheth the heart, and condemns all deceivers in secret, for acting contrary to it; to that light am I made manifest though shut up from all dark minds, for light shineth in darkness, but da●kness comprehendeth it not, john. i. 5.  
8. Christ jesus said unto his Ministers, be not ye called of men Masters; Mat. 23.8, i0. He that saith he is a Minister of Christ and the Gospel, who taketh upon him to be called of men Master, he therein disobeys (presumptuously) Christ's command, and shows by that his contempt to Gospel-order, and to Christ's authority and so despiseth his dominion and government, and will none of his counsel, than none of his Ministers, Mat. 23. joh. 5, 38, 39, 40, 4i, 42, 43, 45. but such was the Pharisees, and jewish High Priests, and such are the Priests of the world, or Nationall Ministers now, who are out of Christ's counsel and doctrine; therefore no servants of Christ, nor Ministers of the Gospel, but enemies to Christ, and rebels to his Power, as the Pharisees, and Chief Priests were, who now despise his spiritual dominion, and his true Gospel Government, as such in their nature did, and greater will their damnation be, Mark i2. 38, 39, 40.  
9 Such as stood praying in the Synagogues, and had the chiefest places there, laid heavy burdens upon the people, and grievously to be borne, such were against Christ's Coming in the flesh, and were then enemies to Christ and the Gospel, and such Christ cried woe unto them, Mat. 23.  
But such are the Priests of the world, or national Ministers now that do as they did, therefore are they ungospellike, and no Ministers of Christ, but enemies against Christ's appearance in the Spirit, and as the chief Priests, and Scribes, and Pharises their fore fathers were, who follow their example, and are out of all Gospel order, example, practice, fellowship, & government, that are in that nature, & the woes is unto such now, and the vengeance from God they cannot escape, therefore people of such beware, lest you perish with them, for 'tis like Priests, like people in their nature, and deceivableness of unrighteousness, and if the blind lead the blind, shall they not both fall into the ditch, such leaders of the people cause them to err, and they that are led of them are destroyed, Hosea 4. i0. Mat. i5. i7. I say 9 i6.  
i0. The Ministers of Christ were, and are content with Christ's allowance to wit, meat, and drink, where they were received, being sent into the world, of such as do in his name receive them, for the workman is worthy of his meat, and the labourer worthy of his hire, Gospel Ministers that labour in the word and doctrine were, and are to have Gospel allowance by Christ opening the hearts of people to receive them, and having food and raiment, they are therewith content, which is their wages, or hire, Gospel allowance for Gospel labour, not Tithes, nor hundreds, nor twenties of pounds by the year, but into what house they entered, or enter into, Town or City, provided, that they fyrst inquire in it who are worthy, and Gospel Ministers were, and are to eat and drink in such places what they set before them, whilst in such places they stayed, and do stay, and was and is their reward in that case, and Gospel allowance, and he, or they who say they are Gospel Ministers, and are not content with Christ's allowance, Luke ●0. 5.6.7. and Mat. i0. 8.9.10. are none of his Ministers that break Gospel orders, as to take Tithes of men's labours, or Silver, or Gold, by the sum of 20. 40. 60, 100 or 200 l. by the year, but such that break Gospel orders, as the Priests of the world, and national and ungospellike Ministers do, that are in Masteries, oppression, usurpation, pride, vainglory, and have their set-maintainances, and the people bound by a Law to pay them their sums, etc. not being content with Gospel allowance, as food, and raiment, i Tim. 6.7, 8. Therefore no Ministers nor true Apostles of Christ, but of Antichrist, who do not abide in Christ's Doctrine.  
1i. If the Ministers of Christ, and the Gospel were not made Ministers by the will of man, than not at Universities six or seven years, as national and ungospellike Ministers are now, and have been long under the antichristian reign, who were made ministers for national maintainances by man's will, contrary to Gospel order therein that were and are so: but the Ministers of Christ were not, neither are made Ministers of his Gospel by man's will, therefore not at Universities as national and ungospellike ministers are; for I certify to you brethren, that the Gospel which I preach unto you, I received it not of man, than not at an University, neither was I taught it of man, than not at Colleges by man's will there, but by the Revelation of jesus Christ, as doth appear, Gal. i. two, i2, 15, i6. Ephes. 3.2, 3.  
i2. Christ jesus himself said, who had all power given him both in Heaven and in Earth, that no man knows the Father but the Son, neither knows any man the Son, but the Father, and he to whomsoever the Son reveals him. Mat. two. 27. Luke i0. 22. Then they that deny revelation, deny that Ministry which stands out of man's will, to wit, the Ministry of Christ in the Spirit, and they also that deny revelation, deny both the Father and the Son, and the Gospel order in the Ministry, and mystery thereof: But such as deny that are the University men, and even the Priests of the world and national Ministers made by the will of man, therefore such are not the Ministers of Christ nor the Gospel, but by believers and the chiidrens of the light to be denied. 2 john 9.10. two.  
i3. They are beloved of Christ, and Friends indeed, that keepeth Christ's Commands, but such are enemies that keepeth not Christ's commands; and he hath in his Doctrine said by command, be ye perfect, as your Father which is in heaven is perfect; 
Heb. 6. i i2. 22, 23. Colos. i. 25 26, 27, 28.  then they which preach and say, men cannot be perfect, they cross the Scriptures, and contradict Christ's Action, Doctrine, and Command therein contained, such are Antichrists Ministers, as are against Christ's Ministry, which is for the perfecting of the Saints, Mat. 5.48. Ephes. 3. two, i2. but such are the Priests of the World, or national, and ungospellike Ministers; therefore such are no Ministers of Christ, but enemies against Christ, and his Gospel, who bring a contrary doctrine to Christ, Colos. i. 27, 28. i Cor. 2.6. and his gospel-ministers.  
They say, men cannot be perfect, when Christ commands to be perfect, and the Gospel ministers preached wisdom to such as were perfect, and if by Christ's ministry some were made perfect, then by the same others may, but some by his minestry were made perfect, therefore I may, as they were, i Cor. 2.6. Heb. 12.22, 23. i john. 4 i6, i7. Rev. i4. 4.5. And they that bring a contrary doctrine to Christ and his Gospel ministers, such are to be held accursed, and such as love not the Lord jesus Christ, who do not keep his commands, but teach to transgress and break them, by persuading people to cont●nue in Sin, saying, they must not nor cannot there be set free from sin, which is the Devils work, and in his Kingdom, therefore such teachers are to be held accursed, for he that commits Sin is of the Devil, Galath. i. 8, 9 i Cor. i6. 22. Rom. 6. i6. john 8.34. i john 3.8.  
i4 They that say Paul the Gospel minister took wages of hypocrites, are liars of the man of God, and therein err from the truth, and so show a spirit of error; but one did say so, to wit, William Sheffield high Priest of Ipstock, therefore a liar, and the Lake is for such, Revel. 2i. 8.  
i5. Those that by fallacies would prove a lawfulness to take Tithes or wages, 20. 40. 60. i00, or 200 l. by the year, for telling their lies, and plead that place of Scripture, 2 Cor. two. 8. as thou Sheffield did, adding to it thy fallacies, and lying divinations to colour over thy deceivableness, but the light sees thee, and all such under such pretences to wrest the Scriptures therein, but such are the Priests of the world, and thou one with them, that pleads for hire of the world, and wages of hypocrites, or set maintainances of Churches so called, that are in the hypocrisy, from that by the year as aforesaid, therefore do you and such like wrong the man of God, and are wresters of his words and the Scriptures, for your self-ends to your own destruction, 2 Pet. 3. i6.  
i7. Paul the true Gospel minister, preached freely to the Corinthians unto them the Gospel of God, 2. Cor. 11.6, 7. And that which he calls aobbing other Churches, was not taking of Tithes, nor having 20, 40, 60, 100, or 200 l. by the year, as the Priests of the world, and ungospellike ministers have now: for Paul saith to the Corinthians, that he rob other Churches taking wages to do them service; and saith he to the Corinthians, when I was present with you, and wanted, I was chargeable to no man, but you national Priests cannot truly say so, when did you go out to call a people out of the world, and plant them, and take nothing all at that time of them, no not to supply wants, who yourselves are chargeable to the people and burdensome, and that work yet unwraught by you, but the Gospel's ministers who laboured in the word and doctrine, do judge your practice, that never yet went freely to call out of the world, and plant, and in that time take nothing of them, and when you wanted, was chargeable to no man among them, but took of your brethren only, to supply wants, and so eat of trees to spare young plants, and took but of your brethren to supply wants, as to buy you a Coat in your labour, one being wo●n, or to buy a pair of shoes, or an Hat, or some needful and necessary things in want only: You have not yet so done according to Gospel's allowance and order, being out: but my beloved Paul, and fellow labourer in his planting time, spared the Corinthians, and preached to them the Gospel of my father freely, as aforesaid, and in his want and necessity took nothing of the Corinthians: but the brethren which came from Macedonia supplied his wants, and that was the wages and robbery he speaks of, and if they were brethren, than not hypocrites, 2 Cor. i1. 9 Heb. 2.11. Therefore Sheffield here I have proved thee a liar, in saying Paul took wages of hypocrites, and if he took but to supply wants, than not to lay up in store, but he did but take of the brethren only, and to supply wants, therefore not to lay up in store, as you hypocrites do, for he said, having food and raiment, he was therewith content, 1 Tim. 6. Therefore silence Sophisters, Philosophers, and vain deceivers.  
If the Apostles counted it a robbery to spare the Corinthians, when he wanted necessaries, 
Isa. i1. 7, 8, 9, i0, two, i2. Tit. i. 7. Act 20.33 34, 35.  in taking to supply his wants of those brethren that came from other places, to wit, from Macedonia, and to cut of all occasions from them that sought occasion, than he was blameless and chargeable to no man, but so it was; therefore he was blameless as the Steward of God, and he was chargeable to no man, and went not beyond his power, which he had to eat and drink with the Corinthians, i Cor. 9.4. And one with Gospel allowance by Christ, Mat. 10.8, 9, i0. Luke i0. 5.6.7. And he did not go beyond his power and seal of his ministry, i Cor. 9 in sparing the Corinthians, and receiving a supply of the brethren. Yet he spared the Corinthians, to wit, in his necessity, and coveted no man's Silver or Gold, then that may condemn you the national Ministers, that take care beforehand for set maintainances, and bind people by a law to fulfil your tale not of brick but money, or moneys worth, if they be grievously oppressed and burdened for it, but if others want and starve, so you have it, it grieves you not, therefore are you taskmasters, and oppressors, and no Gospel ministers.  
i9. If you might take of none but the seal of your Ministry for supply only, you might have but little, except you were better workmen than you are, and planted better plants then yet you have, set proud ones aside, set covetous ones a side like yourselves, set drunkards a side, liars, swearers, oppressors, couzeners, cheaters, haters, backbiters, vain-talers and workers of iniquity aside, and few you would have left to seed, and feed on, and if you take such for your plants that are rooted in inquity, who also live in Sin, and plead for it then keep to them only to feed, and feed on, and let all that depart from iniquity, and who are growing out of Sin up into purity, who are planted and planting in the endless light beyond your dark apprehensions, let them alone I warn you, and charge you, as you will answer it in the presence of the Lord, meddle not with them, live on your zeal only, keep out of the Vinyard, which you have not planted, and feed you the Serpents which you have begotten, and also feed yourselves on the sour grapes, such as you have sown reap, i Gal. 6,5. 20 Let every man prove his own work, and then shall he have rejoicing in himself alone, and not in another, and if you say, let him that is taught in the word, communicate to him that teacheth in all good things, Gal. 6.5; 6. I say so let him do it, then do not you compel or constrain any to do it, lest you wrist the Scripture, or add, and the plagues be added to you for so doing, Rev. 22.18. and be not deceived, for God is not mocked, for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he reap, he that soweth to the flesh, shall of the flesh reap corruption, but such are the devils seeds men, or Ministers of the world, not of the word, your crop is even ripe, that which you have been long sowing, is now growing, you have sown to the flesh, and it doth spring forth, and now appear, and is ready for the Sickle, pride grows tall even ready for the fire, Malach. i1. i. Oppression, and wickedness grows hard even ready for the hammer and the flame, jerem. 23.29. Hypocrisy, dissimulation, vain-talking, foolish jesting, envy wrath, and persecution, grows up in your Fields, springs from the North, up into the South, there it is sound in that untilled ground, where wickedness and ungodliness gins to abound; you idle labourers, your reward will be just judgement for your portion, all such are untaught yet in the word; therefore let the good things alone to whom they do belong, and read where you are, Rom i 28.29. Rom. 3. i2, i3. i9. Isay. 59.9. 2 Thess. i. 8, 9 Rev. 2i. 8.27. Psalm. 9 i7.  
2i He or they that take nothing but of such as they have taught in the word, provided, that they communicate freely without constraint, Gal. 6. 6● Then Silence proud Priests, and stop your mouths, where pride is, such are yet untaught to deny it, and woe to the crown of pride, Isay. 3. i6. i7. to the end. Isay 28. i. Such you are also shut out of, because they are untaught in the word, that lives and takes pleasure in pride, and Filthiness; therefore take nothing of them, nor none in their nature that are yet untaught in the word to deny their evil deeds, and that Scriptures no cover for you, but leaves you bare, and is a whip to scourge you out of the Saints privileges, who are out of their practices, where covetousness and oppression, vain-talking, foolish jesting, drunkenness, and such is ruling and acting in people, they are yet untaught in the word, i Cor. 6.9. i0. Ephes. 5. i, 2, 3, 5.6, 7. For they that are taught in the word, are to lay aside all superfluity of naughtiness, and to receive with meekness the engrafted word, which is able to save their souls, james, i. 2i. and they that are taught in the word are come to the beginning, their Sins are forgiven, and they have overcome the wicked one, overcome the Devil, i john 2. i3. i5. but such as continue in wickedness, and plead for Sin, and a continuance in it, are yet the Devils Subjects, therefore Sin reigns in them so the Devil, and such are untaught in the word; john 8.34. Rom. 1. 28i etc. Rom. 6. i6. i john 3.8. by the rule as aforesaid, if you have nothing but of such as are taught in the word, provided, that they communicate freely without constraint, Gal. 6.6. You will be cut out of your own flock, who appear to be yet untaught in the word by Scripture, and their own practice, which differs from the Saints, and the Saints you are not to meddle with whom you have not taught in the word, but the Lord alone, who is their teacher by his spirit, 
Luke i2. i2. Rom. 8. i.  and with it through his children, Isa. 54. i3, i5. john 6.55. john i4, 26. Heb. 8. i●, 1i. Except they see you hungry and give you a piece of bread, or thirsty, and give you drink, or barefoot, and give you a pair of shoes, or naked, and give you a Coat, or something to cover your nakedness, though you be enemies, it is not for your sakes that they are bound to do it, but for the love they bore to Christ, Rom. i2. 20, 2i. Mat. 5.55. etc. Therefore silence Priests, let the Saints conditions alone, for you are out of their life, where Pride, Envy, Wrath, Maliciousness, Hypocrisy, Disimulation, and ungodliness, is ruling, and acting, such are taught by you to deny it, therefore yet untaught in the word, you are from that Scripture also to let them alone, they are not to communicate, 
Mat, 3.2. i Cor 3. i3.  because untaught in the word, but such is the fruits which you have sown to the flesh, now reap your corruptions, and make ready for the fire Malach. 4. i. Isa. 66. i5, i6. Psal. 9 i7. Mat. 25. 5i. to the end.  

Conclusion to these.  
THe Grace of God teacheth us, and all that obey it, to deny ungodliness and worldly lusts, Tit. 2. two, i2. And such we witness with, for they that are Christ's, have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts Gal. 5. And those that live in the spirit and walk in the spirit, who are not sayers, but doers of the word, such we own, 
Gal. 5. 25.2●.  and you the Priests and Mational Ninisters we deny, who are in the flesh, and walk in the flesh, and desirous of vainglory; who are sayers, but not doers; therefore keep out from amongst the Vines, and spoil them not you subtle Foxes, lest you be taken in the snare, and catched in the trap, this is a warning for you, and a Rod to drive you out from the Saints privileges, being out of their practices.  
This paper I was moved to write, after there was to have been a meeting between the chief Priests, some of them in Leicestershier, and some of those the world calls quakers.  
R. Farnworth.    

If Paul and the Gospel Ministers were examples for others to follow after, and if in preaching the Gospel for their work they coveted no man's, Silver nor Gold, that the Gospel might be free, and they chargeable, nor burdensome to no man, than they who in these days profess themselves ministers of the Gospel, and do not follow such for their example, but covet men's Silver and Gold, and goods, constraining and compelling, people to pay them their demands, and under a pretence to wit, for preaching their brain imaginations from the letter, which they call gospel, thereby they are both chargeable and burdensome to people, and are contrary to the Gospel's Ministers therein, and out of their Gospel example, practice and order, and so are no Ministers thereof, but such are the Priests of the world, or Ministers of man, therefore no ministers of Christ nor his Gospel, who said, be ye followers of God, as dear children, and walk as you have us for an example, and now brothers saith the true Gospel minister, I commend you to God and the word of his grace, which is able to build you up and give you an inheritance, among all them that are sanctified; and also saith he, I have coveted no man's Silver, or Gold, or Apparel, but have Preached the gospel of God freely, what is my reward, then verily, that when I Preach the Gospel, I may make the Gospel of Christ without charge, etc. Acts. 20.32.33.

If the Ministers of the Gospel were content with food and raiment, and exhorted to avoid the love of money, for it was and is the root of all evil and while some coveted after it they erred, and do err from the faith and so pierced & do pierce themselves through with many sorrows, but the Man of God was to fly those things and is, to wit, the love of Money, and not take it for preaching of the gopel by 20, 40, 60, i00, or 200 l. by the year; then they who do so, show their lust running out, and love after that to wit, money, and so flees Righteousness, Faith, Love, Meekness, and pierce themselves thorough with the many sorrows, and do that which Gospel Ministers did not, leaving undone what in the Gospel is required; then they that do so contemn gospel counsel and order therein, so showing a Spirit of error, and they thereby do appear to be no Gospel Ministers, that contemn Gospel's Counsel, and break Gospel discipline, and order, but such as do so are the Priests of the World and Nationall or Ungospellike Ministers that love Money, and make it the ground of their Gospel: for fyrst, they agree for tithes or 20. 40. 60, i00. or 200. l. by the year, so following that the Apostles and true Gospel Ministers did not; who said, having food and raiment, let us therewith be content, but they that will be richfall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful Lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition, for the love of Money is the Root of all Evil, which while some coveted after (as the Priests of these times do) they erred from the Faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows; but 〈◊〉 men of God and Ministers of the Gospel did and do flee these things, i Tim. 6.8.9. i0. two. Therefore the Priests of the world are contrary to the men of God, and no Gospel Ministers, therefore silence deceivess, and stop your Mouths.  
If Christ jesus himself nor the Ministers of the Gospel never sprinkled any Infants nor gave no express Command for the same, their sprinkling Infants is no Ordinance of Christ; but neither Christ jesus nor any Gospel's Ministers did never sprinkle any Infants nor give no express Command in all the Scripture for the same, therefore Sprinkling of Infants is no Ordinance of Christ, but a Mark of the BEAST, Revel. i3. i6, i7. Then they who now profess themselves Ministers of the Gospel, and do so, to wit, sprinkle Infants and call it an Ordinance of Christ, when neither Christ nor his Gospel Ministers never practised such a thing to such Objects, nor laid down no express Command in the Scripture for the same, such as do sprinkle Infants are without the Gospel order, and that is no Work in the Gospel, and they who Minister such things to such Objects, are no Gospel Labourers nor Ministers thereof, but such are the tithing and hireling Priests, therefore no Gospel Labourers nor Ministers thereof, but deceivers of the Nations for their own end, with their brain Imaginations. If that be no Gospel Labour which stands in the will of fallen man, as to Preach by an Hourglass and as they please, when they will, and how they will, according to the fancies of their brain, or to speak a divination of their own brain, according to their will, Stealing the words of their Neighbours, to speak for their own ends as the false Prophets did Ieremies, 23. 3i. 32. Then such are no Gospel Labourers that do so, they that do so are no Gospel Labourers but vain deceivers, which God is against but such are the Priests of the world or Nationall and Ungospellike Ministers, under what notion soever, therefore no Gospel Labourers but vain-deceivers, and the Curse is to such, and they are to be held accursed Gal. i 8.9. i Cor 16.22. For the Ministers of Christ are not made by the will of man, 
Gal. i. i, two. i2. 2. Tim. i i.  neither do they labour therein according to the will of man, but speak as they are moved by thy Holy Ghost, as the holy men of God did, and speak not after man's will, but as the spirit gave them utterance, and now giveth them utterance, as Gospel's labourers do and aforetime did, as it is proved by their practice, and Scripture, who follow the example of the holy man of God, and Ministers of the Gospel, and labourers therein, Ezek. 3. 2 Pet. i. i9. 20. 2i. Acts 4. 3i. Isai. 48.16. Isai. 6i. Acts 2.4. Luke i2. i2. If that be no Gospel labour to pray before preaching and after, that stands in man's will, without the Spirit and Spiritual understanding, than such as do so show a spirit of error, and are no Gospel Ministers nor labourers therein, but such are the Priests of the world or national and ungospellike Ministers that are out of all Gospel order therein, therefore no Gospel labourers nor Ministers thereof as their fruit makes them manifest, who altogether act contrary to the ministers of Christ in the gospel ministration, & so are no ministers thereof, for the Apostles and Gospel Ministers did not make it their custom to pray before and after, when they spoke to the people, i Cor. i4. i5. Rom. 8.26.27. Acts 2.4. Neither did they pray without the Spirit, and spiritual understanding, as the Priests of the world that are out of the life of truth do, but Gospel Ministers did preach by the Spirit, and pray with the Spirit and the Spiritual understanding, as the Spirit gave them utterance, and sometimes after, but not customarily as Priests do; Acts 20.36. If that were no Gospel labour to set ignorant people to sing David's conditions in Rhyme and Meeter, and so to teach them to Sing Lies in hypocrisy, as the Priests teach people now to Sing without understanding, and so lie in hypocrisy, and saying they are not puffed in mind, when they are puffed in mind, saying also they have no scornful eye, when they have scornful and lustful eyes, and much more in that nature, than they that do so are not Gospel labourers therein: but it was no Gospel labour to do so, to wit, as aforesaid, therefore such who labour with deceit are no Gospel labourers, but such are the Priests of the world, or national and ungospellike Ministers: now therefore no Ministers of Christ nor the gospel, but seducers and deluders of the people, for the Ministers of Christ and labourers in the Gospel did not set any to Sing David's conditions in Rhyme, and meeter customarily, which was to be read, but such as were redeemed sung new songs, which none could learn but the redeemed ones, and those that sung Psalms, was not David's conditions in rhyme, but Spiritual Songs and with the Spirit, and Spiritual understanding also, Colos. 3. i5, i6. Rev. 5.9. Rev. i4. 3, 4, 5. i Cor. i4. 15. If it were no Gospel labour to make Funeral Sermons for the dead, as Priests now do, nor to call people to a Sacrament, for which there is no rule in all the Scripture, nor no such word as sacrament, and to Church women as they call it, than they that do so are no Gospel Ministers, nor labourers therein, but it was no Gospel labour to do so, to wit, as aforesaid, therefore they that do so, as to make Funeral Sermons for the dead, and also Church women as they call it, and call people to a Sacrament which there is no Scripture rule for, such are no Gospel Ministers nor labourers therein, but such are the Priests of the world, therefore no Gospel Ministers nor labourers therein, but seducers and Antichrists; stop your mouths, your Ministry is accursed, and your labour is rejected, silence deceivers. If that was no Gospel allowance nor Gospel wages, nor ever practised by any aforetime, Gospel Ministers, as to take Tithes, of hay, and Corn, Lamb, and Wool, Eggs, and Geese, and Pigs, money for Mares, and sols, Skins, and Calves, Gardens, and Pees, and money for smoke passing up people's Chimneys, and in several places; Money for servants wages, Easter reckon, Midsummer deuce, and such like offering, pennies so called, and the like, than they that do so are oppressors of the Creation, and like the Taskmasters of Egyt, and no Gospel labourers, but vain deluders, and wicked deceivers, but it was no Gospel wages, nor Gospel-allowance, nor ever practised by any of the Gospel Ministers, for no mention is made of any such thing in the Apostles writing or practice, Therefore all that do so, to wit, as aforesaid, under pretence of preaching the Gospel as they call it, who are out of all Gospel order, government, or practise, than such are seducers, deceivers, and Antichrists, oppressors, and as the taskmasters of Egypt, but such as do aforesaid, are the Priests of the world, and ungospellike Ministers, therefore oppressors of the Creation, and as Pharaohs taskmasters, seducers, also, and deceivers of the people and nation, and woe to all such, and cursed are they, and Vengeance from God is their reward.  
Now people consider, and lay it to heart, for I have in these things cleared my Conscience before the living powerful God, and you are left without excuse, and if you will not repent and turn from your Idol Shepherds, and Idolatrous worships, Vengeance expect, for the hand of the Lord is against all such, and the wrath of the Lord is kindled, and the sword drawn, furbished and made fit for the slaughter, he will plead with all such by his sword and by fire, and great shall be the flame thereof, Isa. 56.15.16. Now you have time, prize it, for to that in your Consciences I am made manifest, which bears testimony against Sin, and if you do not return to the Lord with speed, I will be a swift witness against you, and follow to the grave and pit, and when you go down into the pit, quick, in your great and lamentable cry, then remember what I said, to warn you in your life time, and ye would not, Remember Dives end is yours that do so.  

There is no Hypocrites in the true Church.  
THose that say there is Hyopcrites in all Churches, doth err from the Spirit of truth etc. Showing a spirit of error, and speaks lies in Hypocrisye, by their fallacies and deceit, where by they deceive the simple, such as are carried away with the deceivableness of deceivers, and such as say so, are no Ministers of Christ, but one Priest did say so, to wit, William Sheffield High Priest of Ipstock, in Leicester Shire, therefore, a liar, and a Hypocrite, and no Minister of Christ's, but of Antichrist, and a vain deceiver, and a liar in Hyocrisye against the truth, and true Church.  
Which true Church is the body of Christ, of which body Christ is the Head, Ephes. 1.22. And Lord of the truth and true Church, the fullness of him that filleth all in all, Ephes. 1.23. For the Church is the Household of God, not builded upon Hypocrites and Hypocrisye, but the true Church is built upon the foundation of the Apostles and Prophets, Christ jesus himself being the chief Cornerstone, in whom all the building fitly framed, groweth unto an holy Temple, in the Lord, Ephes. 2. i9, 20, 2i. Where not Hypocrisye can stand, Christ being Head of his Church, is Head of Truth, but judgeth out Pypocrisyes, and cuts of Hypocrisye, for the true Church is in God, the Church of the fyrst born written in Heaven, in which the Spirits of just men are made perfect, Hebrew i2. 22.23. And the true Church being in God, there is no Hypocrisye in him, it is blasphemy to say, so, therefore silence all deceivers, with your Fallacies and Philosophy, and vain-deceit, Colos. 2.8. by which deceit you make Hypocrites in your Churches so called, and deceive souls thereby.  
But in the only true Church there is no Hypocrites, than not in all, Christ is truly, john i4. i6. And he is the Head of the true Church, Ephes. i. 22.23. And God is the Head of Christ, i. Cor. two. And the true Church is the house of God, which Church is the Pillar and ground of the true, i Tim. 3. i5. And Paul and Silvonus and Timotheus writ unto the Church in God the Father of our Lord jesus Christ, and there is no hypocrisy in him, thy fallacies and Philosophy Sheffield doth and hath deceived thee, acknowledge thy error, and erroneous ways, and all such in thy natute, who acts contrary to the light, and own thy condemnation to be just thereupon, for with the light which changeth not, art thou and all such, and your ways and worships all comprehended that are out of the light and out of the truth.  
And such with the light are judged and condemned; tremble ye sturdy looks, the day of the Lord is coming upon you all, and you shall lament and wail, yea vengeance from God is your reward, and to you all that Act against him in his appearance, this is the word of the Lord woe, woe, woe, to all such.
