THE SENTENCE FROM scripture AND REASON, AGAINST Archbishops and Bishops with their curates.  

I. That they are, in their Doctrine and practices, Abominable.  
II. That their government is an Abomination.  
III. That their Service is a Profanation, so provoking in God's eyes, that He will have all removed out of His sight.  
IV. That neutrality is most detestable, and commands a curse from God and good Men.  
V. That the two ways of government, the Presabiteriall and Independent, are but in show two; they go cross a little, but they will bend each to other till they shall both meet in one churchway.   
Wherein, they, who walk with a right foot, stand charged to watch-over each other in their way; To give an account of their way; To bear each others' burden; To supply each others wants, To partake of each others graces, To do all things as becometh a Communion of Saints, always doing or receiving good. This is the excellent way, as disagreeing with our Times, and ways, as new wine and old bottles.  
Therefore the Reader will see his engagement here, to walk after inward gracious principles, rather than to swerve after outward privileges. He may consider also whether the inquiry be, what way of government is fittest for select and choice congregations, culled out two or three from amidst thousands: or what way of government is meet for those thousands in Israel.  
Presented to the, Assembly of DIVINES.  
An high way there and away, it shall be called the way of holiness, the unclean shall be not pass over it.  Isa. 35. 8.
