by me for his precipitancy and rafhnefs; he pre- tend-[ed] repentance; and yet, of late, without taking any notice of his Paftor he sets up for a Preacher to a part of my Chh and Congration; yea tho J exprefsly advifed him, as his paftor, by a note J sent him, not to prefume on doing of it. Certainly neither he nor they that unite with him in this evill way can have any ground to expect a blefsing. Yea has he not herby expofed himfelf to publick cenfure?

2. yt ye making of minifters of ye loweft of ye pp is in Scripture difallowed, as being a reproach to ye sacred office, 2 Kings 17. 32. yet he being evidently such an one, has thruft himself into ye miniftry.
3. the comifsion in Mat: 28. 19 cannot be given to pp in comon, but to some diftinguifh- ingly qualified perfons, as is there evident. ac- cordingly, for perfons, on conceit of their own fitnefs, or with ye concurrence of a few private Chriftians only, to set up for preachers, muft needs be inexcufable presumption.
4. for one of ye members of my chh to take upon him, without my leave, yea againft my declared mind, to preach to a pp of whom J have ye paftorall charge, as this man has done, is (1) exprefly crofs to that comand in Heb: 13. 17.

(2) its a violation of his covenant ingagment when received into our chh, which obliges him to submit to ye Government &c. (3) it tends to abfolute confufion in all our inftituted chhs ; for, if he may take one part of my Flock to preach to, another may as well take another, and an- other a third; and w' then becomes of ye Paftorall office into which, ye minifters are in a publick & solemn manner brought? Yea where is any flock for them to feed, if others may act according to this mans diforderly and afpiring humour and practice !
But be it noted, y' tho he was invited, and did accept to preach to a part of my Congregation, and, as I was told, actually did it; yet on re- ceiving my Note, he since tells me he did then forbear. and whether he did it since, at another Houfe, as is said I doe not yet learn.
