women labourers in the Gospel which they that are now doctors Teachers and professors are against which you never read Timothy Titus or the Apostles did forbid Daughters or women prophecying and they are ignorant that forbid women or Daughters prophecying and women labouring in the Gospel which is the power of God and their compairing them to Iesabel shews their ignorance Rev. 2.10 And it is a shame for a woman to speak in the Church 1 Cor. 14.34 that which the Law forbids and commands silence it is a shame to suffer them to speak in the Church What Came the word of God out from you or came it unto you only Paul according to the measure given to him in all his Epistles 2 Pet. 3. speaking in them of things which some are hard to be understood which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest as they do also the other Scriptures to their own destruction you therefore beloved seeing you know these things bewar least you also be led away with the error of the wicked and fall from your own steadfastness 2. Pet. 3. but growe in grace and in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ who is the end of the Law for Righteousness sake Rom. 8. Act. 4. Peter which was unlearned in the Letter yet learned of Christ saies such as are unlearned wrest the Scriptures and the Epistles being unlearned The Scribes Pharisees great Rabbies and Doctors knew not the Scripture being not learned of Christ him who was the life of the Prophets and the end of the Law whom Peter was learned in knew and preached whom they knew not so here the unlearned who was in the life confounded all the learned out of the life who learned of him by whom the world was made who comprehended all the world's learning so the unlearned wrest they are to learn in silence and not to speak as saith the Law but learn of their Husbands at home Christ who makes free from the Law nevertheless she shall be saved by Child bearing Christ in the Male Christ in the Female Husbands love your wives and be not bitter against them Wives submit your selves first to your Husbands as unto the Lord the Husband is the head of the Wife even as Christ is the head of the Church Ephe. 5. is the saviour of the body therefore as the Church is subject to Christ so let the Wives be subject to their own Husbands in every thing Ephe. 5. Husbands love your Wives even as Christ loved the Church and gave himself for it that he might sanctifie and clense it by the washing of water by the word that he might present it a glorious Church without spot or wrinckle or any such thing that it should be holy and without blemish so ought men to love their wives as their own bodys he that loveth his wife loveth himself for no man ever hateth his own flesh but nourished it and cherished it even as the Lord the Church for we are Members of his body of his flesh and of his bones for this cause shall a man leave his Father and Mother and be joyned to his wife and they twain shall be one flesh This is a great mistery I speak concerning Christ and the Church he that hath an ear let him hear this great mistery now the unlearned men wrest it and the unstablished who know not this great mistery you that are ignorant of the Lords work and the voice of his Prophets who are wondring at the Prophecying of the Daughters who make your selves ignorant of the Scriptures and are wondring at the Lords Prophetesses or his Daughters contrary to Ioel the Lords Prophet which spoke from the Lord and saith the Lord to him I am the Lord your God and none else and my people shall never be ashamed it shall come to pass after those days when Christ came which was the end of the Law I will poure forth my Spirit upon all flesh and your Sons and your Daughters shall Prophecy and your old men shall dream dreames and young men shall see visions also upon the servants upon the handmaids in those days will I poure out my spirit saith the Lord Here all may see the Spirit of the Lord not limited but upon the Handmaids and the Servants is the Lords Spirit poured and to be poured and many thousands of Servants and Handmaids do witness the Spirit of the Lord poured upon them the word of the Lord fulfilled and upon the Sons and Daughters will the Lord poure out his spirit and they shall prophecy and many Daughters and sons young old men witness the spirit of the Lord upon them poured out that visions are seen old men dreame dreames and young men see visions and their Sons their Daughters do prophecy Ioel 2.28 and in Act. 2. The Apostles did there gather together waiting upon the Lord upon whom the holy Ghost fell among them that waited for the Spirit this prophecy of Ioel they saw the fulfilling of which to the world they were as men drunk and so here the Apostles witnessed the fulfilling of the Prophet who were witnesses of Christ whom the Apostles did give testimony of and did speak of the Daughters prophecying and Phillip had foure daughters that did prophecy which the Apostle did not forbid and saith the Apostle 1 Thes 5. despise not prophecying c. And when the Apostles said the Sons and Daughters should prophecy they were looked upon by the world as men do now to be drunk And whereas Moses said I would all the Lords people were Prophets and there were women that were the Lords people as well as men and women Prophetesses in his days and in the time of the Law Therfore you who are called Christians have a minde unlike Moses and do shew that you have not the Spirit of the Lord poured upon you according to Ioel 2. to prophecy withall who appear to be such as vex grieve it and then envy such as prophecy with it and persecute them And you do not read that the Jews were offended at old Hannah the Prophetess who prophecyed in the Temple which if an old woman should come and prophecy in your Synagogs or Temples you would cry to the Stocks with her or to Prison with her and haile and persecute her though you be called Christians and so do shew your selves worse then the Jews And saith the Lord 1 Cron. 16.22 Touch not mine Anointed and do my Prophets no harme So you that persecute the Daughters on whom the spirit of the Lord is poured and beleeve them not you are them that despise the Prophets and Prophetesses and despise Prophecying and so have broken the Apostles command who saith despise not prophecying and shews that you are out of the Prophet's doctrin and the Apostles doctrin and against the promises of God do stand withall your might who saith he would pour forth his Spirit upon all flesh and his Daughters should prophecy And
