A82314 The city-ministers unmasked, or The hypocrisie and iniquity of fifty nine of the most eminent of the clergy in and about the city of London. Cleerly discovered out of two of their own pamphlets, one intituled, A serious and faithful representation; the other A vindication of the Ministers of the Gospel, in and about the City of London. Together vvith a prophesie of John Hus, touching the choosing of a new ministry; and an ancient prophetical farewel of Hildegards, to the old corrupt ministry. Both very useful for the knowledg of the long deceived nations. / By a friend of the Armies, in its ways to justice and righteousnes. Dell, William, d. 1664. 1649 (1649) Wing D920; Thomason E546_2; ESTC R206085 24,534 40

last_o of_o all_o the_o presbyter_n these_o three_o sect_n make_v up_o the_o number_n of_o his_o name_n now_o how_o unsafe_a this_o be_v for_o this_o state_n or_o any_o other_o to_o have_v another_o

man_n judge_v for_o where_o there_o be_v two_o different_a outward_a power_n in_o a_o kingdom_n to_o wit_n civil_a and_o ecclesiastical_a each_o will_v be_v strive_v for_o precedency_n as_o we_o see_v all_o along_o throughout_o the_o period_n of_o popery_n and_o prelacy_n for_o the_o ecclesiastical_a state_n will_v think_v fit_a to_o take_v place_n of_o the_o civil_a and_o the_o civil_a will_v think_v much_o to_o have_v another_o outward_a kingdom_n and_o power_n above_o itself_o and_o so_o heartburning_n and_o contention_n and_o war_n arise_v as_o appear_v in_o all_o former_a history_n and_o so_o likewise_o for_o this_o new_a sect_n of_o presbytery_n which_o be_v the_o last_o round_o in_o the_o triple_a crown_n and_o so_o the_o least_o which_o be_v the_o comfort_n of_o it_o suppose_v the_o national_a assembly_n of_o the_o church_n a_o outward_a society_n shall_v excommunicate_v the_o parliament_n a_o outward_a society_n and_o the_o church_n power_n with_o their_o

will_v be_v willing_a to_o uphold_v their_o kingdom_n by_o force_n what_o work_n i_o pray_v will_v this_o soon_o be_v and_o if_o the_o clergy_n now_o before_o they_o be_v master_n of_o their_o much_o

for_o it_o be_v never_o know_v yet_o but_o the_o ecclesiastical_a kingdom_n do_v exalt_v itself_o above_o the_o civil_a as_o oil_n above_o the_o water_n and_o so_o it_o have_v bridle_v and_o saddle_v and_o ride_v upon_o the_o nation_n for_o many_o hundred_o year_n together_o but_o now_o it_o be_v hope_v this_o kingdom_n will_v ca●●_z off_o its_o proud_a rider_n and_o suffer_v he_o to_o get_v up_o no_o more_o and_o thus_o now_o it_o be_v plain_a that_o presbytery_n be_v the_o most_o dangerous_a sect_n of_o any_o other_o to_o be_v tolerate_v in_o the_o state_n it_o not_o be_v s●fe_n for_o the_o

from_o a_o state_n must_v be_v state-power_n it_o can_v be_v church-power_n see_v nothing_o can_v give_v that_o which_o it_o have_v not_o itself_o first_o whereas_o they_o that_o hold_v christ_n

people_n can_v neither_o be_v dangerous_a nor_o in_o the_o least_o measure_n troublesome_a to_o any_o civil_a state_n in_o the_o world_n and_o thus_o now_o i_o proceed_v from_o the_o reproach_n they_o
