In-Text This made the mighty godly Divine of Scotland (as I am informed) lying on his death bed (and the words of dying men should make a deeper impression) so earnest in his exhortatory letter writ from St Andrews to the Assembly at Sterling. There are two branches of his exhortation, one to keep out of the Church scandalous Ministers, the other to prevent a scandalous maintenance.

Note 0 The mighty spirit of comfort wisedome and concord remain with you Dear brethren, if ability of body would have suffered, I should not have troubled you with this my indictment. I have not forgot that was laid to my charge by famous libels the last Assembly, which I pray you patiently to hear, and judge of me as you will answer to God: for unto you that hear I submit my self, being assured that I neither offended God nor good men in any thing that hitherto hath been laid to my charge. And now, brethren, because the daily decay of naturall strength threatens unto me certain and sudden departing from the misery of this life, of love and conscience I exhort you, yea in the fear of God I charge and command you, that ye take heed to your selves and to the flock over the which God hath placed you Pastours. To discourse of the behaviour of your selves I may not, but to command you to be faithfull to the flock I dare not forget Unfaithfull and traitours to the flock shall you be before the Lord Jesus, if that with your consent, directly or indirectly ye suffer unworthy men to be thrust into the Ministry of the Church, under what preten•e that ever it be. Remember the judge before whom you must make an account, and resist that tyranny as you would avoid hell fire; this battell I grant will be hard, but the second part will be harder, that is, that with the like uprightnesse and strength in God, ye gain-stand the mercilesse devourers of the patrimony of the Church: if men will spoil, let them doe it at their own perill and condemnation, but communicate not yee with their sins of whatsoever estate they be, neither by consent, nor yet by silence; but with publike protestation, make this known to the world, that ye are innocent of such robberies, which will, ere it be long, provoke Gods vengeance upon the committers thereof, whereof you will seek redresse of God and man ▪ God give you wisedome, strength and courage in so just a cause, and me a happy end.
