IF any Man therefore shall affirm, either that the Priests in the Old Testament, from the highest to the lowest, were not bound to have obey'd the directions which God himself delivered unto them by his Pro∣phets; notwithstanding that now and then
some of them were of the Tribe of Levi, and consequently in other Causes were subject unto them; or, that the Examples of the true Prophets were any lawful Warrant, either for any false Prophets, or for any o∣ther person or persons whatsoever, to have railed, libelled, threatned, or denounc'd the Iudgments of God against any of the said Priests, according to their own malicious humours (God himself having never given them any such Warrant or foreknowledge to pronounce of such particular Iudgments to come:) or, that because the High-Priest, and the rest of the Priests did amiss in the malicious prosecution of God's true Pro∣phets, they might not therefore lawfully take order for the punishment of false Pro∣phets, he doth greatly Erre.
