Concerning Sons and Daughters and Prophetesses speaking and Prophecying in the Law and in the Gospel And concerning Womens learning in silence 1 Cor 34 3● 1 Ti● 12 1● and also concerning womens not speaking in the Church as the Apostle said I permit not a woman to speak in the Church and what state they be in c. MIriam was a Prophetess the sister of Aron and Moses a Magistrate and Aron the Priest did not judge this Prophetess nor other Women for they came forth praysing God together And Miriam answered the men sing ye unto the Lord for he hath triumphed gloriously now are not Christian Priests Rulers and Magistrates worse then Moses and Aron which would stop a prophetess from prophesying Yea worse then those that were under the Law who now profess themselves to be Christians for the Lord overthrew the horse and his rider in the sea saies the Prophetess And Moses had been singing a little before and Miriam the woman fell a singing and speaking the Prophetess as you may read Exod. 15. and Moses did not reprove her and the King Iosiah commanded Hilkiah the Priest and others Go a●●●nquire of the Lord for me concerning the words of the Book of the Law 2 King 22.12 and Hilkiah the priest and others went unto Huldah the prophetess a woman teacher the wife of Shallum and she dwelt in Hierusalem in the house of Doctrine and they communed with her and she answ●●● them thus saith the Lord God of Israel tell the man that sent y●● 〈◊〉 me behold I will bring evil upon this place and there you may read in the Chapter what a great speech shee made unto them how she was a teacher both unto the King and the Priest and many others and how the King did give regard to her words and sent to gather together all the Elders of Iudah and the Preists and Prophets and declared unto them of the abomination that had been set up which she had witnessed against as before so here the King the Priests did not dispise this woman teacher the Prophetss in the time of the Law which may condemn Christians which say they are come to the end of the Law they that are led by the spirit are not under the Law but are come to a further state And in Isa 8. Chap. 1. He went to the Prophetess who conceived and bare a Son and then said the Lord call his name Maher-shalal hash-baz and here you may see here was a Prophetess not despised by Esai nor the Lord Iudges 4.4 there Deborah a Prophetess the wife of Lapidoth judged Israel and she dwelt under a Palm-tree and the Children of Israel came up to her for Judgment and she prophesied how the Children of Israel should overcome their Enemies from the Lord here again you may see a woman Prophetess and Teacher to whom all Israel was to give Eare who saw the overthrowing of their Enemies then you may read in the 5. of Iudges how Deborah praised the Lord and how she called Kings and Princes to hearken and said she would sing unto the Lord and praise the God of Israel Therefore ye Children of darkness limmit not the holy one despise not Prophecying nor the Prophetesses who professes your selves to be Christians but shews your selvs to be ignorant both of Law and Scriptures and out of the Spirit which gave them forth LEt your women learn in silence with all subjection 1 Tim. 2. here is a silent Learning a Learning in silence 1 Cor. 14.34.35 I suffer not a woman to teach nor to usurp Authority over the man but to be silent there she is to learn in silence and not to usurpe Authority over the man but to ask her Husband at home that which usurps authority the 〈◊〉 takes hold on but if you be led of the Spirit then you are not under 〈◊〉 Law Gal. 5. so I permit not a woman to speak in the Church as saith the Law so let the woman learn in silence with all subjection but I suffer not a woman to usurp Authority over the man but to be in all silence for Adam was formed then Eve and Adam was not deceived but the woman was in the transgression read 1 Tim. 2. nevertheless she shall be saved in Child-bearing if she continue in Faith and Charity and holiness with sobriety c. And so by the leading of the spirit ye come to Christ another Husband of whom you are to learn as people were to learn of the Law and such as are led by the Spirit are the sons of God so do prophecy according to Ioel and Peter Ioel 2. Act. 2. they come from the state that the Law limmits and these did pray and prophecy as instance 1. Cor. 11. women praying and prophecying who was a Church and the Apostle saith despise not prophecying Now here is the state of Eve and the state of Iesabel and Eve's state is not Iesabels which are both called women for Eve was first deceived but daughters prophecying is above Iesabels and if Eve had been in the prophecy she would have foreseen what she fell into and prophecy by the Spirit is above the state of the woman for prophecy does let see the deceiver and what he leads into which though the state of Eve must be kept under the Law yet daughters prophecying is in the end of the Law for Eve got over her husband so the Apostle speaks of Adam and Eve and doth not speak of quenching Daughters prophecying not that Christ in the Male or in the Female should be stopt from speaking which is above Eve or Iesabel read 1 Tim. 2. And so forbidding a Iesabels speaking or forbidding a woman in the state of Eves speaking is nothing to the purpose for the forbidding of Daughters or Prophetesses prophecying in the Church who are led by the Spirit of God or Christ in the Females speaking Let your women keep silence in the Church for it is not permited for them to speak but they are commanded to be under obedience as also saith the Law the women which are to be under obedience and to be silent and not to speak in the Church as also saith the Law which doth not permitt but Christ in the Male and in the Female is one which may speak which makes free from the Law I will poure out my Spirit upon Sons and Daughters and they shall Prophecy And as touching womens learning of their Husbands at home many were Virgins and many Widdows and many had unbelieving Husbands and therefore it must either be the Law they were to learn of or Christ for the Law keeps down that which is to the shame and that which has usurped Authority and the Spirit of God leads from that which is a shame and that which has usurped Authority and from being deceived And the Apostles which witnessed Christ the end of the Law for righteousness sake did allow and own Sons and Daughters prophecying and
