innumerable_a such_o a_o prophet_n be_v his_o lordship_n and_o such_o be_v all_o pastor_n in_o the_o christian_a church_n but_o the_o question_n here_o be_v of_o those_o prophet_n that_o from_o the_o mouth_n of_o god_n foretell_v thing_n future_a or_o do_v other_o miracle_n of_o this_o kind_n i_o deny_v there_o have_v be_v any_o since_o the_o death_n of_o st._n john_n the_o evangelist_n if_o any_o man_n find_v fault_n with_o this_o he_o ought_v to_o name_v some_o man_n or_o other_o who_o we_o be_v bind_v to_o acknowledge_v that_o they_o have_v do_v a_o miracle_n cast_v out_o a_o devil_n or_o cure_v any_o disease_n by_o the_o sole_a invocation_n of_o the_o divine_a majesty_n we_o be_v not_o bind_v to_o trust_v to_o the_o legend_n of_o the_o roman_a saint_n nor_o to_o the_o history_n

divine_n here_o in_o the_o time_n of_o king_n james_n second_o he_o say_v i_o make_v little_a difference_n between_o a_o prophet_n and_o a_o madman_n or_o demoniac_a to_o which_o i_o say_v he_o accuse_v i_o false_o i_o say_v only_o thus_o much_o that_o i_o see_v nothing_o at_o all_o in_o the_o scripture_n that_o require_v a_o belief_n that_o demoniac_n be_v any_o otherthing_n than_o madman_n and_o this_o be_v also_o make_v very_o probable_a out_o of_o scripture_n by_o a_o worthy_a divine_a mr._n meade_n but_o concern_v prophet_n i_o say_v only_o that_o the_o jew_n both_o under_o the_o old_a testament_n and_o under_o the_o new_a take_v they_o to_o be_v all_o one_o with_o madman_n and_o demoniac_n and_o prove_v it_o out_o of_o scripture_n by_o many_o place_n both_o of_o the_o old_a and_o new_a testament_n three_o that_o the_o pretence_n or_o arrogate_a to_o one_o self_n divine_a inspiration_n be_v argument_n enough_o to_o show_v a_o man_n be_v mad_a be_v my_o opinion_n but_o

which_o be_v proper_o madness_n in_o some_o degree_n but_o i_o understand_v inspiration_n in_o the_o scripture_n metaphorical_o for_o god_n guidance_n of_o our_o mind_n to_o truth_n and_o piety_n four_o whereas_o he_o say_v i_o make_v the_o pretence_n of_o inspiration_n to_o be_v pernicious_a to_o peace_n i_o answer_v that_o i_o think_v his_o lordship_n be_v of_o my_o opinion_n for_o he_o call_v those_o man_n which_o in_o the_o late_a civil_a war_n pretend_v the_o spirit_n and_o new_a light_n and_o to_o be_v the_o only_a faithful_a man_n fanatic_n for_o he_o call_v they_o in_o his_o

that_o be_v by_o these_o fanatic_n pretend_v i_o do_v not_o say_v there_o be_v doctrine_n of_o other_o man_n not_o call_v fanatic_n as_o pernicious_a to_o peace_n as_o they_o be_v and_o in_o great_a part_n a_o cause_n of_o those_o trouble_n five_o from_o that_o i_o make_v prophetical_a revelation_n subject_a to_o the_o examination_n of_o the_o lawful_a sovereign_n he_o infer_v that_o two_o

consequence_n be_v not_o good_a for_o see_v they_o teach_v different_a doctrine_n they_o can_v both_o of_o they_o confirm_v their_o doctrine_n with_o miracle_n but_o this_o i_o prove_v in_o the_o page_n 232_o he_o cit_v that_o whether_o either_o of_o their_o doctrine_n shall_v be_v teach_v public_o or_o not_o it_o be_v in_o the_o power_n of_o the_o sovereign_n of_o the_o place_n only_o to_o determine_v nay_o i_o say_v now_o further_o if_o a_o prophet_n come_v to_o any_o private_a man_n in_o the_o name_n of_o god_n that_o man_n shall_v be_v judge_n whether_o he_o be_v a_o true_a prophet_n or_o not_o before_o he_o obey_v he_o see_v 1_o john_n 4._o 1._o six_o whereas_o he_o say_v that_o upon_o my_o ground_n christ_n be_v to_o be_v repute_v a_o false_a prophet_n every_o where_o because_o his_o doctrine_n be_v receive_v no_o where_o his_o lordship_n have_v read_v my_o book_n more_o negligent_o than_o be_v fit_a for_o one_o that_o will_v confute_v it_o my_o ground_n be_v this_o that_o christ_n in_o right_a of_o his_o father_n be_v king_n of_o the_o jew_n and_o consequent_o supreme_a prophet_n and_o judge_n of_o all_o prophet_n what_o other_o prince_n think_v of_o his_o prophecy_n be_v nothing_o to_o the_o purpose_n i_o never_o say_v that_o prince_n can_v make_v doctrine_n or_o prophecy_n true_a or_o false_a but_o i_o say_v every_o sovereign_a prince_n have_v a_o right_a to_o prohibit_v the_o public_a teach_v of_o they_o whether_o false_a or_o true_a but_o what_o a_o oversight_n be_v it_o in_o a_o divine_a to_o say_v that_o christ_n have_v the_o approbation_n of_o no_o sovereign_a prince_n when_o he_o have_v the_o approbation_n of_o god_n who_o be_v king_n of_o the_o jew_n and_o christ_n his_o viceroy_n and_o the_o whole_a scripture_n write_v joh._n 20.31_o to_o

of_o christian_a faith_n who_o be_v the_o sovereign_a prophet_n that_o be_v who_o be_v next_o under_o christ_n our_o supreme_a head_n and_o governor_n i_o wish_v his_o lordship_n will_v have_v clear_v ere_o he_o die_v these_o few_o question_n be_v there_o not_o need_v of_o some_o judge_n of_o controvert_v doctrine_n i_o think_v no_o man_n can_v deny_v it_o that_o have_v see_v the_o rebellion_n that_o follow_v the_o controversy_n here_o between_o gomar_n and_o arminius_n there_o must_v therefore_o be_v a_o judge_n of_o doctrine_n but_o say_v the_o bishop_n not_o the_o king_n who_o then_o shall_v dr._n bramhall_n be_v this_o judge_n as_o profitable_a a_o office_n as_o it_o be_v he_o be_v more_o modest_a than_o to_o say_v that_o shall_v a_o private_a layman_n have_v it_o no_o man_n

too_o modest_a to_o undertake_v the_o whole_a power_n will_v have_v be_v content_v with_o the_o six_o and_o twenty_o part_n but_o suppose_v it_o in_o a_o synod_n of_o bishop_n who_o shall_v call_v
