Proving paying Tythes under the Gospel to be against the Law of God, the Law of the Land, the Protestation, Covenant and Ingage∣ment of the Army; And that if we should still continue the practice thereof after so many Ingagements, so much light breaking forth, we might Judge our selves guilty of perjury in the high Court of Heaven, and so stand guilty at the bar of Gods Justice.
1 Sam. 2. 36.And it shall come to passe, that every one that is left in thine house, shall come and crouch to him for a piece of silver and a morsel of bread, and shall say, put me (I pray thee) into one of the Priests offices, that I may eat a piece of bread.
Ezekiel 34. 2, 3, 4.Son of man, prophesie against the shepherds of Israel, pro∣phesie, and say unto them, thus saith the Lord God unto the shepherds, wo be unto the shepherds of Israel, that do feed themselves. Should not the shepherds feed the flocks, ye eat the fat and ye cloth you with the wool, ye kill them that are fed; but ye feed not the flock, the diseased have ye not strengthen∣ed, neither have ye healed that which was sick, neither have ye bound up that which was broken, neither have ye brought again that which was driven a∣way, neither have ye sought that which was lost; but with force and with cruelty have ye culled them.
Micha 3, 5.Thus saith the Lord concerning the Prophets that make my people erre, that bite with their teeth, and cry; peace: and he that putteth not into their mouthes they even prepare war against them.
Matth. 10. 16.Behold I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves &c.
