the Church viz. to speak object offer or vote with the rest which this Scripture nor no other as I know of doth in the least hinder but rather help being rightly considered For 2. He saith it is not permitted 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 by reason of the disorders and differences that then were in the Church it was thought inconvenient to allow womens liberty to preach publiquely whereby they brought but confusion into the Church as appears in the antecedent and subsequent words vers 33. and vers 40. so that the ill consequence was the cause of this rule of prudence not any positive command of Gods but he spake as in 1 Cor. 7.6 And it is a quest●on whether it be a standing precept So that from this very Scripture besides a hundred others I do verily beleeve that handmaids shall prophecy and have more publick liberty then now they have but however this does nothing at all disallow or deny them their common private proper liberty as members of Christs body equally with men I say as members though not as officers and so subjective to the whole 2. To women I wish ye be not too forward and yet not too backward but hold fast your liberty in Gal. 5.1 which the Apostle speaks as well to the sisters as the brethren Christ hath made ye free male and female ye are all one in Christ and ought to be so in the Church wherefore stand fast saies he that is keep your ground which Christ hath won and got for you maintain your right defend your liberty even to the life lose it not but be courag●ous and keep it And yet be cautious too festina lente not too fast but first be swift to hear slow to speak Jam. 1.19 unlesse occasion requires you your silence may sometimes be the best advocate of your orderly liberty and the sweetest evidence of your prudence and modesty as one saies Silentium saepissime addit foeminis gratiam et decus maxime apud viros cum de rebus seriis agitur and yet ye ought not by your silence to betray your liberty trouble your consciences lose your priviledges and rights or see the truth taken away or suffer before your eyes but I say be not too hasty nor too high for as the note that comes too nigh the margent is in danger to run into the text the next impression so spirits that run too high at first may soon fall into disorder and irregularity It is said when Cyrus was young his Grandfather made Sacas his overseer to order him both in his diet time and recreations but when he came to riper years he became a Sacas to himself and took not so much liberty as he had leave to do and as was allowed him by his governour Sacas And so indeed that may be lawfull to you that is not as yet expedient for you and rather then run into disorder and confusion hold your liberty a little in suspense and wave it on some occasions wherein you lawfully may but lose it not for all the world which Christ payed so great a price for and prepare for fairer gales As the Miller does for though he cannot command the winde yet he will spread his sailes out and open them in a readinesse when he is in hopes of its coming and so do you and when the winde blowes which begins your liberty with full sailes shall bring forth abundantly to serve all the countrey round In the mean time make much of the ordinances prize your hitherto liberty and practise accordingly And in a word I say to all Those whom God hath joyned together let no man put asunder CHAP. IX 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 This last Chapter shewes what Church this Treatise mentions and clears it from all others and shewes wherein the Presbyterians and we disagree and wherein they and the Papists agree in most of the essentiall differences between them and us for Discipline Doctrine and Practise and proves this Gospell-Church-State the great promise and thing typified in the last daies and the Paradise on earth to be restored I Had thoughts now to have rested me for a while but I am jogg'd up again by the jarring noises which many make about the name of a Church I must now arise and wet my pen a little more before I conclude this Treatise or take my rest You have had the essentialia laid before you and in this first and second part have had the totum homogeneum of a true Church both what is to be done before and what in and upon embodying together but what is to be done after followes after in the third Part which I promise next if the Lord give me leave wherein you shall have I hope so the totum organicum of a true Church of Christ. But before that will be ready I must meet with some rough Opinionists who will bid me stand or at least with such who have the hands of Esau though the voice of Jacob and so the principles and practises of the Pope though the pretences and protestations of a Presbyter that will not let me passe thus without a full discharge and a violent volley upon me made up of wilde fire and not with the fire from above but I must force my way in the name and strength of the Lord and I shall lay before them before I leave them the rotten foundation they are built upon which without mercy may be their ruine and whose cause and quarrell it is they are engaged in and whose design they carry on against the Saints and servants of the most High And the Lord give them grace to consider and separate from it for else I dare confidently affirm they will be found fighters against God Act. 5. I shall first offer y●u what we mean consideration 1 by the Church of Christ where this discipline and order is set which we have handled and shall endeavour to take off all doubts and distractions which may else arise about the word for that Ecclesia est quid dam 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 various Controversies have shot out from the word and name as well as the thing and nature of a true Church Formerly between the Pontifitians and Protestants and of late between the Presbyterians and Independents as will easily appear upon perusall of Mr. Rutherford's Right of Presbyteries Mr. Bailies Disswasive Mr. Prinns 12 Questions and Independency examined c.

I take the name of Church two waies either strictly or at large proxime proprie aut remote late at large or more remotely and improperly it is to be considered either in respect to and with distinction from Infidels and Pagans or else collectively in respect of Christians amongst themselves in the first respect as opposed to Turks and Paynims all

are not onely sky-colour'd and heavenly but watrish humble and lowly and willing to be of no account for Christs sake they are little or nothing in appearance but full of vigour and vertue to comfort souls to suppresse sighes and cause sorrows to fly away to help their sight to remove humourish obstructions and to work upon ill livers and to restore them to soundnesse and having the power of Christ the influences of this sun of righteousnesse with them they wonderfully inflame souls and kindle a fire in their hearts to embrace and embosome the things of God to long after communion with Christ to bee in love with him and his wayes and to set souls a burning after grace and glory such as these are indeed precious matter Ninethly a Topaz of the Gr. Topazion in Hebr. Pitdah whereunto ●●pad or Topaz is taken found among the Aethiopians Job 21.19 Pliny sayes it growes among the Troglodites as Dionysius sayes it is an Indian Gemme in Chaldee Jarkam and Jarkatha that is green it is of a rich golden green colour it is of excellent use against the Emrods it affords sometimes a milky liquor cures a wound helps the Lunatick and keeps much from mutability Surely such Saints are precious matter and usefull Gemmes that the latter dayes shall finde out for curing of many sharp humorsome diseases that would obstruct the passages of the excrements which would be to the hurt of the body such as would hinder the casting out of traditions and excrementall doctrines which will hurt the Church Such Saints shall say as Isay 30.22 Get thee hence Oh fie upon 't out with them as the word bears it as with excrements Such Saints shall afford sweet milky consolations for Babes out of their bellies shall flow Rivers of water of life they shall be weak to the weak as well as strong to the strong they shall bind up many a wounded and broken Reed and poure Wine and Oyle into the sad gashes of wounded spirits applying seasonable promises and Balsomes yea the lunatick ones that fall sometimes into the waters of drunkennesse and iniquity wherein without mercy they will be drowned and sometimes into the fire of their lusts fitting them for the flames of Hell if they be not help'd by grace Such as these may be means of recovering and of confirming many in the Faith and keeping them from changing with every wind of Doctrine and they do themselves and endeavour to make others hold fast their profession and that without wavering Oh these wil be precious matter too Tenthly A Chrysoprasus in Hebr. Shebo in Gr. Achate in Eng. Agate the name signifies a golden green and indeed the best of them are green sparkling with golden guttulis it is of excellent use to revive the spirits to help the Eye-sight too and to shine most excellently in darknesse Oh! such Saints will be precious matter indeed that shine best and most in afflictions troubles nights in a time of darkness when they see no light these will be strong in faith and are best in worst times and therefore must needs revive the spirits of others and quicken them which be of great use to helpe the weak-sighted Eleventhly the Hyacinth or Jacinth in Hebr. Leshem it is but little but excellent of a bright purple colour or somewhat violet-like found among the Indians and Aethiopians and so is the following this is of admirable vertue to preserve from the blast of lightnings the danger of Plagues and Pestilence in corrupt and infected ayres and as Albertus testifies it causes sweet rest and sleep defends the animall spirits and makes men rich Oh the unspeakable excellent use of the precious gems the Saints of the last dayes such Saints are surely meant here as are violet-like humble with their heads low but hearts high sweet and savory the first flowers as it were of the time the witnesses of the Churches spring and of the Sunnes approach these will be able by the divine vertue in them to keep themselves and others too from hurt by tempests stormes or flashing persecutions or troubles yea from the contagion of sin and pestilentiall diseases and corruptions which reigne in others and make them rage these keep up their spirits for God and the Truth and doe defend the life of God in them from all that would offend those vitall and soul-spirits yea such will be a means to make themselves and others to rest in Christ their beloved and to finde their bed green too yea such do make soules their own and others Rich in Grace and to abound in wealth and to fetch in apace of those Treasures of Wisedome and Knowledge which are layd up in Iesus Christ for the Saints Twelfthly An Amethysh in Hebr. Achlama is a Stone to be found among the Indians Arabians Armenians Galatians Aegyptians c. this is of a ruddy colour and is of excellent use to cause and keep temperance to restrain all excesse and drunkennesse it takes away from night-feares and provokes sweet rest So the Saints in these latter dayes that excel in these vertues are meant to be the Mystery of this Precious stone such as are exceeding temperate and cause others so to be that will not abide excesse and they are not afraid of evill tidings Ps. 112.7 nor of terrours by night nor of those terrours which attend times of darknesse and afflictions they live above all fears and fancies by an Heroick faith being resolved come life come death nothing shall separate them And they provoke to that sweet soule-rest and holy recumbency of Spirit which they have in Christ. These are the Precious stones the excellent Church-matter promised in these dayes to come And these being under a promise O what happy dayes are comming great shall be the day of Jezreel indeed blessed daies then are approching for the Churches O let us wait for them and begin them by bringing forth the properties of these Precious stones which are a mystery of the excellency of Church-members and matter consisting of excellent gems and jewels which shall be gather'd up in these latter dayes from all parts of the world East West North and South Jewes and Gentiles Indians Arabians Medes Persians Scythians Sardians as well as English French Spaniards Italians c. These Precious stones viz. such Saints are exceeding rare as yet but ere long the appearances of Christ will be higher and the shining approaches of this Sunne will be hotter and the Gospel shall go further ev'n beyond Seas to find them out and to gather them up And after the houres of triall which shall come upon the Churches of Europe will the Spirit be pour'd out amply for such an ample employment viz. to gather Jewels and Precious stones for Church-matter in all parts of the World As the excellency of the matter so the variety of that excellency is also under promise as appears by the various
