yourself_o if_o a_o man_n shall_v bring_v this_o argument_n against_o you_o and_o prove_v you_o all_o thief_n that_o have_v parsonage_n and_o vicarage_n in_o your_o hand_n and_o can_v preach_v christ_n say_v john_n 10.1_o 10.1_o joh._n 10.1_o he_o that_o enter_v not_o into_o the_o sheepfold_a by_o the_o door_n be_v a_o thief_n and_o a_o murderer_n but_o you_o enter_v in_o another_o way_n and_o not_o by_o the_o door_n christ_n be_v the_o door_n but_o you_o say_v that_o you_o enter_v in_o by_o a_o act_n of_o parliament_n and_o that_o be_v not_o christ_n therefore_o you_o be_v thief_n and_o murderer_n if_o this_o argument_n be_v not_o strong_a enough_o what_o say_v you_o by_o this_o all_o they_o that_o come_v before_o i_o say_v christ_n be_v thief_n and_o robber_n but_o you_o come_v into_o the_o sheep-fold_n before_o christ_n therefore_o you_o be_v thief_n and_o robber_n to_o come_v in_o before_o christ_n be_v to_o be_v a_o parson_n or_o vicar_n before_o christ_n send_v he_o and_o you_o come_v in_o before_o christ_n send_v you_o for_o he_o send_v none_o to_o be_v shep_n herd_n but_o such_o as_o he_o know_v to_o be_v able_a to_o feed_v his_o flock_n therefore_o he_o never_o send_v you_o for_o he_o know_v you_o to_o be_v unable_a to_o do_v that_o office_n and_o thus_o to_o conclude_v you_o be_v thief_n and_o robber_n for_o a_o thief_n come_v not_o but_o to_o steal_v &_o kill_v wherefore_o give_v over_o the_o parsonage_n unto_o learned_a man_n and_o enter_v not_o into_o other_o man_n vocation_n to_o rob_v the_o minister_n both_o of_o his_o office_n and_o living_n that_o you_o be_v not_o punish_v of_o god_n but_o if_o you_o will_v needs_o be_v parson_n and_o vicar_n and_o carry_v away_o the_o profit_n you_o must_v have_v also_o the_o pain_n that_o belong_v to_o such_o parson_n as_o you_o be_v hear_v what_o almighty_a god_n say_v to_o you_o my_o lord_n who_o will_v be_v pastor_n and_o parson_n ezek._n 33._o it_o i_o say_v unto_o the_o wicked_a
