That
the
Minifters
of
the
Go#el are
to
expel(
(hare
off,
f
`
fering from
the
ovili
and
wicked
world.
I
fend
you,
faith
he,
as
fheepe
among
Wolves
;
the Minifters of
the
Gofpel doe more immediately tight
againft
the Kingdome
of Sathan
then
any
people,
of the world.
It
is
a
very ttr nge
expreflion
that
wehave
in
the
17
Chap.
of
john,the 14
verfe.
And have given
them
thy
word,
and the
world
hath hated
them,.
becaufe
they
are
not
ofthe
world, even as
I
am
not
of the
world,.
Prefently
after the
giving of
the word, the
world hates
them,
the
more
they
have
of the word of
truth,
the more the world
hates
them. You
know

unto

Goe

to

;
For
I
will
Phew
him
how

If

Secondly
,
The
Minifters of
the
Gofpel
in
regard of
,;heir
place,they
are
mare
in
view
and in mens
eyes,then other
men,
are
;
let
them
look
to
themfelves, they
are in
the
eyes of
eye-
ry man
;
they
are
the white that
all
men shoot
at.--
Thirdly,
The Micifters of the Gofpel
have no weapons
to
defend themfelves withal!, but
fpirituall;
A
Magiftrate
can'
defend himfelfe, for he
hath
the
fword
;
but
a
Miüifler can-
not.
--
And the Minitiers
of
the Gofpel, they fet
themfelves:
againf}
meni
luis,
again(}
their beloved
lufls
;
let
a
Miniaer
come and
preach
to
them
in force
general! way
,
and never
come
to4lrike
home
to their
tuft,
then
all
is
Well
;
but
if
trey
f}rike
it
home
to their
luf
},
they cannot beare
that,
then
they
mua revile
him.
Fourthly, The Devitt
knows
that
he
can
doe
no
more
mif
-
chide
then to keep the
name
of
Minifters downe, and
to
take
their elleeme
off
from
the peóple
;
Indeed
for
fuch and fuch
particulars,
he (hall not

in
a
great while,
fo
much
as
he
can any way
