SECT. 1.

TO prove that those Priests whom they so imploy, are not fit instruments for such a Calling, or Office,* 1.1 I thus argue.

All such Persons, as obstinately, and peremptori∣ly confront the directions, and precepts of Christ, and his Apostles, ought not to be imployed, as Ministers of Christ.

But the Presbiterian Synod, hath, and doth admit of such men, as doe absolutely oppose Christ, and his Apostles.

Ergo in such Elections, and Missions, they doe wilfully, and pe∣remptorily oppose Christ, and his Apostles, and so consequently de∣clare themselves violaters of the Covenant, they so much plead for.

Notes

* 1.1

The Mini∣sters they im∣ploy, viz. the Cavalier Priests not fit for such a service.
