To return to Priests, there is now great abominations in the Church; Priests come into Christs fold, not at his calling, but to make themselves rich, which is cause of many errors. In the Book of mourning the Prophet saith, The enemy hath put his hand to all things he would, for he hath seen a lawless people in the Sanctuary, of which thou saidst they should not enter, The enemy is Satan, for in what plenty is pride, envy, wrath, and covetousness; and wherefore, but because such are entered into the Temple, which cannot keep the Law of God themselves, nor teach others: And Hosea 1saith to them, Because thou hast put away the knowledge of Gods will, I have put thee away from using Priest-hood to me.
