both recorded in holy Scripture and their Testimony set down as you may read Luk. 2. from ver 25. to 39. the Spirit of God seeing it meet so to do that the Mouths of Gain-sayers may be stopt But such teaching as Potiphars Wife taught Joseph Gen. 39. 12. is to be resisted and denyed for she inticed and taught him to commit Adultery and so to defile the Temple of God read 1 Cor. 3. 16 17. and chap. 6. 15 16 17 18 19. But such teaching as King Lemuels Mother taught him is to be obeyed for she taught him not to give his strength unto Women nor his wayes to that which destroyeth Kings It is not for Kings O Lemuel it is not for Kings to drink Wine nor for Princes strong Drink lest they drink and forget the Law and pervert the Judgment of any of the Afflicted c. Such Doctrine as this such Teaching as this such a Prophesie as this is to be believed and obeyed and not slighted nor quenched such a Woman as this might be permitted to speak and prophesie in the Church though even before Kings and Princes And O that our King and Rulers would follow her Advice it would be better with them then it is read Prov. 31. from ver 1. to 10. Such teaching as Jezebel taught the Elders and Nobles so called but they proved ignoble in their proceedings in the receiving the Testimony of false Witnesses against Naboth and in murdering of him I say the counsel and advice she gave these Elders and Nobles that lived in outward Jezrel with Naboth is to be denyed and resisted and will be denyed and resisted by all them who live and dwell in inward Jezreel to wit in the Seed of God for she taught them to set up false Witnesses and to murder Naboth to fulfil the the covetous desire of her Husband King Ahab And also she taught Ahab to take possession of Naboth's Vineyard when she had caused him to be murdered This Jezebel slew the Prophets of the Lord and maintained many false Prophets the Prophets of Baal and of the Groves at her own Table they fed upon the fatest of things at the Queen's Table while the Prophets of the Lord even those of them that had escaped her murdering Arm had nothing but Bread and Water fed by Obadiah secretly in Caves Such teaching as this that teaches People to slay and murder and shed Blood for covetous ends and practices and to maintain their Pride and Galantry or for any other Selfish-ends is to be denyed and testified against It is to be lamented that we have too many Jezebelians in this our Age who teach People to slay and murder and shed Blood maintaining her Prophets with large allowances at her Table while the Mediator of the New-Testament Christ Jesus the heavenly Prophet hath nothing amongst them but the fruitless Fig-tree and hath not whereon to lay his Head in all the Earth of their Hearts And his Servants both Men and Women who follow him the heavenly Light are accounted by those Jezebelians not worthy to live in the Earth But Jezebel's day is near an end and her Night is fast approaching wherein she will be cast into a Bed and them that commit Adultry with her into great Tribulation except they Repent of their Deeds the Sword is drawn against her Children and hath drunk some of their Blood already O that they may repent and prevent a further and heavier stroke But such teaching and such an advice as Abigail gave to David is to be received and obeyed for she counselled him not to shed Blood neither to avenge himself with his own Hand And David when he came to the coolness of his mind knew that she was sent of God and said to Abigail Blessed be the Lord God of Israel which sent thee this day to meet me and blessed be thy Advice and blessed be thou which hast kept me this day from coming to shed Blood and from avenging my self with my own Hand O that all men and women would take notice of this blessed Advice and Counsel given by a Woman Here the Lord sent the Woman to advise and counsel the Man and David hearkened to her Voice and obeyed her Counsel and took her Advice and he never had reason to repent it the Seed of the Woman at this time trod upon the Head of the murdering Serpent O that our Nation were filled with many such Women like Abigail to give good counsel unto Men and that our men would receive their counsel and not avenge themselves with their own Hand but leave all Vengeance to him with whom it is to take Vengeance on his Adversaries and Recompence the wrong done unto his Servants And you may see how quickly the Lord pleaded David's Cause and his Reproach with churlish Nabal But such teaching as Job's Wife taught him and such an advice as she gave him is to be resisted and denyed as righteous Job did for she taught and advised him to curse God and dye But Job told her that she spoke like one of the foolish Women Should we said he receive good at the Hands of God and not receive evil also And Solomon when he was old his Wives turned away his Heart from the Lord to follow after the Abominations of the Nations so that his Heart was not perfect with the Lord Such Womens teachings snares and inticements are to be denyed and resisted And also such teaching and instruction as Herodias Philip's Wife gave unto her dancing Daughter is not of God the Serpent is Head in such the bloody Dragon rules in such read Matth. 14. And such are to be testified against for it is the Serpent's Voice the Antichristian Voice that sounds through such and not the Voice of Christ Abraham was commanded of God to hearken unto the Voice of Sarah and cast out the Bond-women Hagar with her mocking Son Ishmael and although the thing was very grievous in his sight yet he resisted not but obeyed the Voice of his Wife Here was no Usurpation as is vainly supposed the thing was right before the Lord Sarah was to be hearkned unto in this thing the Bond-woman was not to rule in the house with her she was the Free Woman neither was her Son Ishmael the mocker to be Heir with the Child of Promise Isaac the righteous Seed And yet Sarah was in subjection to her own Husband and called him Lord and so is every Woman that is truly leavened with the Spirit of God And Christ is greater than Abraham who is the Head and Husband of all the Daughters of Zion and these Women who have Christ to their heavenly Husband and Head they will never be found out of their Duty and lawful Subjection to their natural Husbands if they have any And it is only those Women be they outwardly joyned to a Husband or free who are marryed to Christ and he Lord in them and Head in them that are permitted and allowed to speak in
