The HIRELING MINISTRY none of CHRIST’S

The HIRELING MINISTRY none of CHRIST'S or, A Discourse Touching the Propagating the Gospel of Christ Jesus.

Humbly presented to such pious and honourable hands whom the present debate thereof concerns.

In the discourse it will appear, how greatly some mistake, which say I declare against all Ministries, all Churches, all Ordinances; for I professedly avow and maintain, that since the Apostasy, and the interrupting of the first ministry and order, God hath graciously and immediately stirred up and sent forth the ministry of his Prophets, who during all the reign of Antichrist, have prophesied in sackcloth, and the saints and people of God have more or less gathered to and assembled with them; they have prayed and fasted together, and exhorted and comforted each other, and so do, notwithstanding that some are not persuaded and satisfied, {as others conceive themselves to be,} as touching the doctrines of baptisms, and laying on of hands.
