put
into
the
Bank
,
in
sure
hope
of
acceptance
by
a
merciful
Lord
;
Or
,
the
mean
mans
Gift
towards
the
helping
forward
of
the
Lords
Great
Work
.
With
An
Information
and
Message
from
the
Lord
,
to
all
sorts
of
People
concerned
herein
;
written
in
plain
simplicity
.
TRuly
beloved
friends
,
if
you
will
with
an
impartial
eye
seriously
mind
these
following
discoveries
made
and
confirmed
by
the
Scriptures
from
the
Lord
,
you
shall
find
somewhat
discovered
of
the
right
descent
and
ascent
of
the
true
Gospel-Ministry
,
and
of
their
Parsonages
,
Pattents
and
Inductions
,
as
they
are
ordained
and
sent
forth
by
the
Lord
and
own'd
of
him
;
and
also
somewhat
of
such
as
are
sent
by
and
from
men
that
run
before
they
are
sent
of
the
chief
Governour
and
Head
of
his
Church
,
(
Christ
Jesus
)
of
whom
he
declares
that
such
are
Theeves
,
&
Robbers
,
and
come
forth
for
that
end
;
and
truly
as
far
as
I
am
able
to
discover
my
heart
herein
,
I
have
no
other
end
,
nor
respect
of
persons
in
me
in
writing
of
this
by
the
Lords
teaching
of
me
,
then
had
either
Elijah
;
or
Isaiah
,
Jeremiah
,
Ezekiel
,
Paul
,
or
any
other
that
declared
against
those
false
Teachers
in
their
times
that
the
Lord
disowned
;
or
for
any
further
end
then
what
the
Lord
appears
in
to
be
with
or
against
them
:
And
if
you
judge
me
in
what
I
have
said
from
the
Lord
herein
,
I
can
well
bear
it
,
and
rejoyce
that
in
this
one
addition
to
the
many
sensible
complaints
gone
forth
against
falshood
and
deceit
in
those
that
call
themselves
Ministers
of
Christ
:
That
what
I
have
written
I
was
taught
it
immediately
of
and
by
the
Lord
,
and
not
by
or
from
men
;
I
beseech
you
weigh
it
,
for
it
will
be
found
true
,
that
much
lies
in
hazard
in
that
very
thing
,
though
little
regarded
by
the
most
;
it
s
no
less
then
Land
liberties
,
State
souls
of
men
,
yea
all
we
are
,
&
do
expect
or
enjoy
,
and
then
certainly
its
time
to
look
about
us
,
or
else
it
never
will
be
:
But
it
may
be
you
will
say
,
this
is
but
some
giddy
conceit
of
a
busie
head
:
but
before
you
pass
your
censure
thereon
,
do
like
Gamaliel
,
consider
and
consult
,
whether
the
Lord
or
man
most
clearly
appears
in
it
.
First
,
Observe
well
what
the
Lord
hath
done
for
us
and
to
us
here
in
these
Nations
.
Whether
it
be
not
as
much
or
more
then
he
did
too
and
for
those
that
he
hath
severely
judged
for
unfruitful
people
,
or
unprofitable
Servants
,
and
know
that
the
Lord
is
the
same
yesterday
,
and
to
day
,
and
for
ever
,
and
will
certainly
judge
us
as
severely
if
we
repent
not
speedily
,
because
he
is
God
and
changeth
not
,
but
in
hope
of
mercy
will
be
pray
that
thus
adviseth
you
from
the
Lord
,
and
wait
for
the
vision
until
the
appointed
time
,
having
his
eyes
somewhat
opened
by
the
Lord
,
but
was
born
blind
,
and
so
lived
more
then
fifty
years
;
and
there
was
never
any
heard
of
that
ever
could
or
did
do
such
a
cure
,
but
onely
the
Lord
Jesus
Christ
,
who
is
the
same
from
and
to
eternity
;
therefore
beware
how
you
slight
his
workings
in
or
upon
any
of
the
meaness
of
the
Sons
of
men
,
for
then
they
will
witness
against
you
,
and
say
,
it
s
a
marvellous
thing
that
you
discern
not
whence
this
work
is
;
but
consider
it
well
that
few
of
the
Rulers
or
people
did
then
believe
:
neither
is
it
discernable
that
many
yet
do
.
But
my
hopes
are
great
of
some
of
ours
,
because
that
many
of
them
have
not
onely
said
,
but
have
yielded
up
to
dye
for
the
liberty
of
the
pure
Gospel
,
though
fowly
obscured
to
them
by
deceivers
:
And
upon
these
and
many
more
good
grounds
,
will
I
still
hope
,
wait
,
and
pray
for
the
incoming
of
the
Gospel
Glory
into
these
despised
Nations
,
though
fearfully
blind
and
insensible
of
it
,
and
so
secure
in
the
middle
of
danger
,
and
willing
to
remain
as
they
are
;
as
the
many
addresses
printed
witness
sadly
;
but
consider
I
pray
,
that
the
Lord
comes
as
the
Lightning
,
suddenly
,
terribly
,
and
openly
in
Glorious
brightness
,
and
as
a
Thief
in
the
night
;
therefore
it
s
declared
to
be
the
best
wisdome
for
every
one
to
be
watching
in
that
place
his
Lord
hath
set
him
in
,
lest
he
come
suddenly
and
find
them
out
of
order
,
and
give
them
that
sad
portion
threatned
,
Mat.
24.
and
further
know
,
that
the
Lord
is
not
slack
as
some
think
,
and
say
too
;
neither
shall
one
tittle
of
his
word
fail
to
be
fully
accomplished
in
its
own
due
time
.
I
beseech
you
consider
that
are
in
high
places
,
that
if
the
ministry
be
not
right
that
you
set
up
the
guilt
will
be
a
very
sad
one
to
you
;
for
it
is
the
price
of
souls
,
that
are
precious
in
the
sight
of
the
Lord
,
and
to
be
guilty
of
the
destroying
one
,
will
prove
to
be
of
more
loss
to
them
then
the
loss
of
their
lives
,
honours
,
and
what
else
you
are
,
or
do
enjoy
;
and
do
not
think
I
am
too
bold
with
you
;
for
it
s
in
true
love
to
and
pity
of
your
souls
,
and
in
due
respect
to
your
persons
and
office
;
some
amongst
you
that
know
me
,
will
engage
for
me
in
that
,
if
I
need
,
I
dare
say
it
.
Beloved
friends
,
because
the
difference
is
high
amongst
us
about
the
Gospel
Ministry
,
whether
it
be
to
be
found
in
or
amongst
the
Parish
Priests
or
Parsons
,
or
in
and
amongst
the
truly
godly
,
that
are
called
of
God
,
as
Aaron
was
.
Of
the
first
sort
few
such
appear
plainly
I
fear
,
and
also
because
my self
,
and
many
more
of
which
some
are
truly
godly
,
I
doubt
not
have
found
by
many
sad
experiences
,
the
uneffectualness
of
the
publique
parties
Ministry
,
especialy
of
late
times
,
and
having
obtained
mercy
of
the
Lord
,
I
declare
my
judgment
therein
,
who
if
I
were
known
unto
the
world
,
my
labour
I
fear
should
be
slighted
,
the
rather
because
of
my
meanness
;
and
I
know
and
believe
that
I
write
these
things
by
the
teaching
of
the
Lord
Spirit
;
and
if
you
will
search
the
Scriptures
with
me
,
Keep
Thief
,
The
first
order
of
Priests
or
Preachers
that
we
read
of
〈◊〉
the
Scriptures
,
was
Noah
and
his
Progenitors
and
Successors
and
was
not
he
and
they
immediately
called
of
God
,
and
declared
to
be
Preachers
of
righteousness
,
and
he
was
a
just
man
that
walked
with
God
,
and
perfect
in
a
Corrupt
Age
or
Generation
,
and
righteous
before
God
in
his
Generation
,
and
a
pure
worshipper
of
God
,
and
he
was
blessed
of
God
,
and
was
separated
from
the
World
and
their
wayes
,
and
was
no
doubt
their
scorn
,
yet
stedfast
with
the
Lord
,
and
owned
of
God
;
but
of
what
University
,
or
School
was
he
of
,
or
where
lay
his
Parsonage
,
Parish
or
Pension
,
tell
me
if
you
can
?
or
where
had
he
his
induction
or
Ordination
,
or
by
whom
had
he
it
,
if
not
from
the
Lord
alone
;
then
surely
he
can
still
do
it
if
need
be
,
and
there
is
no
doubt
of
it
,
The
second
Priest
we
read
of
in
the
Scriptures
,
was
Melchisedeek
,
of
whom
much
is
to
be
spoken
if
we
were
not
dull
of
hearing
:
This
man
was
immediately
sent
of
God
,
and
call'd
the
Priest
of
the
most
high
God
,
and
the
true
type
of
the
pure
seed
and
Son
of
God
,
Christ
Jesus
,
and
such
are
all
true
Gospel-Ministers
,
for
they
have
learned
of
Christ
.
This
third
order
of
Priests
recorded
in
Scriptures
,
is
the
Tribe
of
Levy
,
which
includes
both
the
offices
of
Priests
and
Levites
,
in
it
are
our
Preachers
and
Parsonage-mongers
like
the
Tribe
of
Levy
,
as
they
use
to
call
themselves
?
I
am
sure
the
Tribe
of
Levy
was
not
trained
upon
the
two
well
Heads
,
or
Nurseries
of
learning
,
as
the
English
Priests
use
to
call
them
in
their
Pulpit-prayers
,
I
wish
they
be
not
Nurseries
of
lust
,
John
Baptist
,
or
Christ
,
or
his
Apostles
and
Disciples
,
or
of
and
from
the
Evangeilst
Teachers
and
Pastors
of
the
primitive
Ordination
,
tell
us
,
that
we
may
prove
you
by
them
there
;
will
you
put
your selves
upon
the
tryal
there
,
if
you
do
,
you
will
be
found
too
short
yet
of
the
pattern
a
great
deal
;
for
its
more
pure
then
you
can
with
those
Eyes
that
yet
you
see
by
,
discover
or
declare
to
others
.
Consider
friends
,
whether
the
Baptism
and
Preaching
of
John
were
from
heaven
or
of
men
:
He
was
the
first
New
Testament
Gospel
Preacher
,
and
sanctified
from
the
womb
,
and
not
in
a
School
or
Parsonage
;
but
few
of
you
Ministers
appear
to
be
so
,
after
many
years
standing
in
your
Office
;
and
he
came
neither
eating
nor
drinking
,
daintily
,
nor
in
costly
Apparel
,
but
most
of
you
,
if
you
can
get
them
any
way
,
come
in
all
these
to
the
height
of
them
;
and
I
fear
,
affect
them
more
then
the
Gospel
,
John
came
preaching
and
baptizing
unto
repentance
;
but
few
of
you
declare
what
it
is
;
and
I
am
sure
those
I
see
,
act
not
aright
in
their
places
,
and
many
preach
contrary
,
and
cannot
declare
whether
faith
or
repentance
is
first
to
be
acted
by
their
Converts
:
And
John
said
,
That
the
Kingdom
of
God
was
at
hand
;
but
you
say
,
It
is
already
come
,
and
yet
you
cannot
declare
it
,
at
least
,
you
do
not
,
and
when
it
will
come
,
you
know
not
,
if
that
be
not
it
that
you
preach
to
poor
blinde
people
,
which
is
nothing
like
it
,
and
yet
you
would
have
them
rest
in
it
,
where
no
true
rest
is
to
be
found
;
for
nothing
its
else
that
you
declare
to
them
but
to
hear
you
,
and
to
perform
some
such
fervices
as
you
can
teach
them
,
all
which
are
meer
formalities
;
and
Christ
said
of
John
,
That
he
was
a
burning
and
shining
light
;
and
which
of
you
are
so
,
or
declare
what
it
is
to
be
such
a
one
;
and
John
did
not
take
his
first
visions
of
Christ
to
be
the
full
manifestation
of
him
to
rest
in
,
but
inquired
further
of
him
as
one
unsatisfied
therewith
of
his
fulness
;
but
most
of
you
stay
in
the
beginning
of
light
,
and
labour
not
to
get
towards
perfection
but
rather
decline
for
ought
that
can
be
discerned
;
and
so
shut
up
the
Kingdom
of
Heaven
against
your selves
and
others
:
And
John
was
a
plain
and
full
rebuker
of
sin
in
all
of
,
or
by
such
onely
as
are
enlightned
,
called
,
renewed
,
and
taught
of
the
Lord
alone
,
far
above
all
mens
teachings
,
and
such
onely
are
Christs
true
Ministers
,
and
to
be
owned
.
And
now
,
O
ye
Priests
,
I
call
ye
to
speak
once
more
in
your
own
defence
(
but
either
speak
right
words
,
or
else
be
silent
,
for
discerning
spirits
are
come
forth
)
and
shew
if
you
can
,
whether
Melchizedeck
,
or
any
of
the
whole
Priesthoods
order
forenamed
,
were
called
in
by
men
,
or
had
either
Parish
,
Parsonage
,
or
any
such
limitted
order
or
place
as
yours
,
or
that
their
tythes
and
wages
were
as
yours
are
;
but
contrary
,
for
they
were
free
offerings
,
as
the
yearly
feasts
were
,
and
in
them
the
fatherlesse
,
the
stranger
,
the
widow
,
and
the
Levite
did
eat
and
rejoyce
together
before
the
Lord
:
There
was
neither
tythe
Calf
nor
Goose
brought
to
the
Parsonage
nor
Vicarage
houses
,
neither
had
the
mistresse
nor
her
maids
authority
to
gather
tythe
eggs
or
apples
of
the
poor
and
needy
.
That
that
was
tythed
in
Israel
was
brought
in
freely
to
worship
the
Lord
with
and
by
it
.
But
ye
,
O
Priests
,
oppresse
the
poor
,
the
widdow
and
others
by
yours
,
and
dishonour
God
thereby
.
Are
you
or
any
other
able
to
make
it
appear
that
those
are
right
Laws
,
Statutes
,
Judgements
and
Ordinances
,
that
yours
are
established
and
required
by
,
suitable
to
the
right
Government
of
a
Christian
Nation
that
are
taught
of
the
Lord
?
I
know
the
contrary
.
O
blinde
leaders
of
the
blinde
!
will
you
both
fall
into
the
ditch
?
stop
speedily
,
left
you
perish
,
and
get
better
Guides
;
for
light
is
broken
forth
,
shut
not
your
eyes
against
it
,
but
behold
it
,
and
walk
in
it
whilst
it
appears
,
lest
darknesse
come
speedily
,
and
then
you
may
so
stumble
and
fall
,
that
you
can
never
rise
again
.
O
consider
this
,
you
that
have
long
forgotten
the
Lord
,
lest
he
tear
you
in
pieces
,
and
there
be
none
to
deliver
you
,
because
of
the
slighting
of
his
calls
when
he
would
have
healed
you
:
But
I
tell
you
plainly
,
that
Gospel
Ministers
should
first
be
Elders
in
the
faith
,
before
they
enter
into
that
high
Office
,
and
not
Novices
in
the
salvation
of
God
,
should
thrust
themselves
into
it
;
for
none
can
discern
it
,
but
by
the
Holy
Ghost
given
into
them
;
neither
can
any
minister
that
to
others
,
which
they
have
not
received
,
for
the
carnal
minde
is
in
enmity
against
the
spiritual
gifts
of
God
and
Christ
;
neither
can
they
know
them
,
nor
preach
them
really
to
others
,
and
if
they
be
not
first
reconciled
in
themselves
,
how
can
they
show
the
reconciliation
of
the
soul
into
Christs
pure
nature
unto
others
,
to
lead
them
up
unto
it
,
or
the
knowledge
of
it
,
that
they
may
labour
to
grow
forward
to
be
wrought
into
it
fully
,
that
so
they
may
become
holy
,
as
the
Lord
is
holy
,
and
to
be
meek
and
lowly
,
as
Christ
is
,
that
so
they
may
finde
rest
to
their
souls
:
and
for
the
gaining
this
,
they
must
first
be
humble
in
the
sense
of
their
own
blindenesse
,
and
then
the
promise
is
from
the
Lord
that
he
will
teach
them
,
and
give
them
grace
and
glory
,
and
such
own
for
right
Gospel
Ministers
,
and
none
else
;
for
this
is
the
Lords
way
of
exalting
men
into
Gospel
gifts
of
grace
.
Are
ours
such
in
publique
places
,
I
fear
few
of
them
.
Ask
them
further
,
Have
ye
a
true
call
from
the
Lord
to
that
Office
?
and
they
will
say
,
Yea
:
But
if
you
will
consider
them
by
what
is
before
written
,
it
will
appear
contrary
,
as
also
by
the
testimony
of
many
other
Scriptures
;
and
therefore
let
them
know
this
for
themselves
,
that
the
Councel
of
the
Lord
shall
stand
,
and
although
Circumcision
be
commanded
by
the
Lord
,
yet
when
that
that
is
figured
by
it
is
come
,
it
must
cease
,
without
a
written
command
,
and
then
they
that
are
circumcised
afterwards
,
can
have
no
profit
by
Christ
:
Take
heed
what
you
do
,
the
Lord
is
not
mocked
,
what
ye
sow
,
that
ye
must
reap
,
friends
:
I
bear
record
to
you
,
that
you
have
a
little
zeal
,
and
a
little
strength
,
but
its
ready
to
dye
,
and
it
is
not
according
to
right
knowledge
,
else
you
never
would
hold
up
,
depend
upon
,
nor
own
such
for
right
Gospel
ways
as
you
do
.
Consider
what
I
say
,
and
the
Lord
give
you
understanding
:
For
if
you
persist
thus
,
the
Lord
will
suddenly
destroy
you
,
as
he
did
your
Predecessors
;
for
certainly
he
is
come
forth
to
judge
the
World
in
righteousness
,
and
a
short
worke
will
he
make
upon
the
earth
;
for
by
his
own
arm
will
he
bring
in
salvation
;
for
surely
our
hopes
by
men
of
might
is
low
,
whilst
we
hear
of
and
behold
such
a
wicked
crue
of
Lawyers
in
our
Parliament
,
who
will
neither
enter
into
Christ's
Kingdome
,
nor
suffer
others
to
go
in
that
would
;
but
as
this
startled
Scribes
and
Pharisees
,
so
it
will
them
;
John
Baptist
would
you
say
,
That
is
not
he
.
Oh
Souldiers
at
last
,
(
before
it
be
too
late
)
call
to
remembrance
what
you
saw
and
ingaged
for
and
against
at
the
first
,
under
Noble
Fairfax
,
and
his
Officers
,
An
End
.
