It is apparent that thefe enemies of the Minifters are playing the Papifis game. Becaufe the jufl difgrace of their Minifiry, was the ruine of their Kingdom ; therefore they hope to win of us at the fame game. They know that if the people were brought into a hatred or fufpition of their guides, they might the ealïer be won to them. They tell us in their writings, that not one of tenof our people but taketh his faith on Fruit from their Teaehers, and therefore take them o:F from them and they will fall : hut they delude themfelves in this : For though the un- godly among us have no true faith of their own, and the Godlymull, lean on the hand of their fupporters, yet there is in them a-living prin- ciple ; and we donot as the Papilts priefts, teach our people to fee with our eyes, and no matter for their own: but we help to clear their own eye-fight. Doubt not but the molt of the ffis in the Land that fall a- gain(t the Minifiry, are knowingly or ignorantly the agents of the Pa- pills. For the principal work of a Papift is to cry down the Miáiftry and the Scripture, and to let all they can on the fame work. 8. There feels that are againtt the Minifiry do all the fame work as the Drunkards, Whore-mongers, Covetous, and all ungodly perlons in our Parilhes do: And therefore it feems they are guided by the fame. £pirit. It is the work of Drunkards and all thefe wicked wretches to hate, and defpife, and revile the Minifters, and to teach :others to fay as they. And juil fo do Qiakers, Seekers, Papi(ls and all other Malignants re- proach the fame Minilters: And yet the blind wretches will not fee that the fame Spirit moveth them. 9. It is apparent that it is the Devils game they play, and his inter- ell and Kingdom which they promote. Who fights againft Chrifls Of ficers and Army, but the General of the contrary Army ? What greater fervice could all the world do for the Devils, then to call out the Mini- ners of Chrift ? and what more would the Devil himfelf delire, to fet.up his Kingdom and fupprefs the Church ?
