also_o i_o have_v full_a as_o good_a a_o warrant_n in_o obey_v a_o upright_a conscience_n as_o the_o best_a of_o prophet_n can_v have_v in_o follow_v his_o revelation_n further_o by_o what_o have_v

from_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n himself_o but_o whatever_o truth_n they_o deliver_v prudential_o and_o as_o from_o their_o own_o reason_v we_o ought_v to_o take_v they_o as_o such_o and_o wherein_o we_o have_v the_o advice_n of_o the_o most_o holy_a and_o sincere_a man_n and_o as_o the_o apostle_n st._n paul_n himself_o acquaint_v we_o and_o hence_o also_o we_o see_v plain_o that_o the_o

as_o a_o fair_a witness_n than_o one_o that_o in_o every_o word_n will_v command_v you_o by_o a_o infallible_a inspiration_n not_o that_o i_o will_v insinuate_v hereby_o by_o any_o mean_v neither_o as_o the_o judicious_a lowth_v in_o this_o case_n have_v very_o well_o observe_v as_o if_o the_o inspiration_n of_o holy_a writ_n be_v imperfect_a or_o that_o the_o scripture_n be_v not_o a_o most_o perfect_a rule_n of_o faith_n sure_o he_o be_v mad_a that_o once_o believe_v the_o history_n of_o the_o apostle_n miracle_n can_v ever_o think_v their_o doctrine_n be_v not_o thereby_o confirm_v by_o

observe_v let_v the_o reader_n judge_n nay_o and_o beside_o i_o may_v add_v for_o the_o holy_a ghost_n to_o have_v make_v the_o prophet_n and_o evangelist_n his_o secretary_n verbatim_o will_v not_o only_o have_v do_v violence_n to_o their_o trial_n but_o be_v to_o no_o purpose_n neither_o for_o what_o need_v he_o to_o have_v shewn-those_a thing_n by_o revelation_n that_o reason_n can_v find_v out_o so_o also_o if_o he_o have_v dictate_v to_o they_o verbatim_o as_o truth_n be_v one_o and_o wisdom_n be_v one_o in_o perfection_n so_o it_o be_v impossible_a that_o there_o shall_v be_v a_o letter_n vary_v in_o what_o they_o write_v nay_o and_o if_o he_o have_v why_o shall_v we_o think_v of_o they_o that_o they_o shall_v rather_o only_o historical_o deliver_v the_o precept_n of_o christ_n then_o than_o dispose_v they_o in_o order_n and_o as_o from_o themselves_o have_v not_o they_o think_v that_o his_o authority_n in_o give_v they_o be_v great_a than_o their_o own_o and_o so_o what_o but_o this_o fallibility_n be_v it_o may_v i_o say_v make_v the_o apostle_n meet_v together_o to_o dispute_v in_o council_n have_v they_o like_o the_o prophet_n in_o their_o particular_a message_n get_v god_n immediate_a instruction_n in_o all_o thing_n one_o have_v speak_v the_o mind_n of_o all_o and_o there_o can_v never_o have_v be_v any_o occasion_n to_o assemble_v to_o dispute_v since_o they_o can_v never_o vary_v in_o judgement_n but_o like_o our_o saviour_n who_o have_v the_o spirit_n without_o measure_n they_o will_v have_v proceed_v on_o in_o eternal_a path_n of_o love_n truth_n and_o unity_n nor_o be_v their_o credit_n even_o as_o thus_o and_o from_o their_o very_a sincerity_n little_a as_o it_o be_v as_o a_o heathen_a reflect_v when_o he_o read_v their_o moral_n i_o wish_v all_o the_o world_n have_v believe_v they_o so_o indeed_o they_o have_v such_o a_o integrity_n that_o they_o can_v but_o command_v a_o respect_n where_o ever_o they_o come_v and_o as_o for_o their_o error_n and_o mutual_a lesser_a variance_n they_o rather_o benefit_v than_o injure_v they_o for_o where_o there_o be_v a_o fallible_a integrity_n that_o vary_v in_o trifle_n and_o agree_v in_o the_o main_n it_o even_o lustre_v truth_n by_o cut_v off_o the_o very_a ground_n of_o all_o suspicion_n and_o confederacy_n we_o ought_v therefore_o always_o to_o remember_v as_o well_o in_o the_o write_n of_o the_o apostle_n as_o prophet_n rather_o to_o follow_v their_o sincere_a sense_n and_o purport_n than_o their_o grammatical_a and_o force_a exposition_n for_o not_o only_o the_o apostle_n as_o i_o have_v show_v you_o have_v cite_v the_o old_a testament_n by_o their_o memory_n but_o even_o the_o prophet_n also_o as_o luther_n observe_v in_o his_o table-talk_a p._n 362._o have_v none_o of_o their_o revelation_n verbatim_o but_o when_o they_o deliver_v their_o vision_n do_v it_o in_o their_o own_o way_n and_o their_o own_o stile_n and_o word_n thus_o one_o as_o a_o noble_a and_o another_o as_o a_o husbandman_n and_o if_o they_o have_v any_o expression_n immediate_o from_o god_n it_o be_v very_o rare_o and_o hence_o also_o you_o see_v that_o the_o prophet_n be_v so_o far_o from_o a_o absolute_a inspiration_n or_o a_o perfect_a freedom_n with_o god_n that_o very_o often_o they_o can_v scarce_o understand_v the_o dark_a and_o hieroglyphical_a prophecy_n they_o receive_v themselves_o and_o whether_o they_o do_v at_o all_o in_o some_o case_n i_o will_v not_o determine_v for_o though_o all_o prophecy_n can_v have_v but_o one_o clear_a sincere_a rational_a and_o coherent_a meaning_n as_o truth_n especial_o in_o the_o fountain_n be_v not_o doubtful_a and_o as_o so_o they_o be_v dictate_v by_o god_n to_o be_v understand_v one_o time_n or_o other_o yet_o it_o do_v not_o follow_v therefore_o that_o they_o must_v understand_v they_o for_o sure_o he_o may_v just_o reserve_v their_o interpretation_n to_o what_o time_n or_o season_n he_o shall_v think_v best_a nor_o be_v this_o a_o inconsiderable_a lesson_n that_o we_o may_v learn_v from_o a_o due_a consideration_n in_o this_o matter_n for_o sure_o it_o must_v make_v no_o small_a tendency_n to_o the_o progress_n of_o the_o true_a gospel-precept_n and_o piety_n to_o cut_v off_o all_o occasion_n of_o little_a capriccio_n and_o criticism_n the_o great_a and_o main_a lesson_n of_o christ_n and_o his_o apostle_n and_o what_o be_v true_o confirm_v from_o god_n by_o miracle_n be_v too_o well_o and_o secure_o deliver_v to_o be_v injure_v by_o little_a cavil_n or_o the_o variance_n of_o copy_n but_o to_o return_v as_o to_o what_o may_v be_v more_o particular_o say_v relate_v to_o the_o state_n of_o prophecy_n we_o may_v add_v that_o prophecy_n the_o state_n of_o prophecy_n as_o i_o have_v before_o observe_v adam_n be_v to_o stand_v a_o while_n ere_o he_o become_v translate_v and_o if_o so_o since_o the_o degradation_n of_o our_o fall_n we_o may_v well_o expect_v even_o to_o stand_v a_o further_a trial_n also_o ere_o we_o become_v prophet_n thus_o christ_n be_v near_o thirty_o ere_o he_o enter_v his_o first_o stage_n and_o enoch_n and_o elijah_n not_o young_a when_o they_o be_v translate_v and_o can_v we_o expect_v otherwise_o then_o nor_o need_v we_o to_o be_v dismay_v though_o we_o have_v no_o notice_n of_o our_o being_n either_o to_o be_v prophet_n or_o translate_v have_v

of_o moses_n christ_n and_o elijah_n have_v be_v say_v the_o scripture_n moses_n be_v not_o a_o prophet_n in_o dark_a dream_n and_o vision_n only_o but_o god_n speak_v clear_o and_o face_n to_o face_n to_o he_o and_o do_v he_o not_o so_o to_o christ_n and_o elijah_n also_o so_o how_o exact_o likewise_o moses_n and_o christ_n agree_v in_o their_o transfiguration_n and_o christ_n and_o elijah_n in_o

one_o and_o easy_a rule_n to_o choose_v the_o good_a and_o avoid_v the_o ill_a think_v you_o else_o that_o st._n peter_n st._n paul_n and_o silas_n may_v not_o have_v be_v translate_v as_o well_o as_o

translation_n in_o its_o self_n must_v needs_o be_v more_o for_o the_o honour_n both_o of_o god_n and_o christianity_n than_o martyrdom_n but_o what_o you_o be_v offend_v that_o i_o take_v these_o liberty_n with_o the_o apostle_n you_o forget_v that_o though_o they_o have_v the_o spirit_n yet_o be_v it_o but_o in_o part_n they_o know_v in_o part_n and_o they_o prophesy_v in_o part_n nay_o and_o

their_o gift_n nor_o need_v i_o say_v thus_o on_o presumption_n only_o for_o do_v not_o the_o scripture_n say_v the_o same_o thing_n 1_o cor._n 13.8_o 9_o and_o do_v they_o not_o show_v we_o that_o

give_v his_o grace_n on_o occasion_n yet_o he_o suit_v they_o to_o time_n and_o season_n of_o his_o own_o nay_o and_o though_o by_o we_o he_o inform_v the_o world_n of_o their_o duty_n yet_o he_o take_v care_n withal_o by_o his_o information_n never_o to_o give_v we_o such_o a_o certainty_n as_o may_v destroy_v our_o trial_n by_o faith_n and_o from_o this_o fallibility_n it_o be_v that_o st._n paul_n order_v the_o spirit_n of_o the_o prophet_n to_o be_v subject_a to_o the_o prophet_n and_o that_o he_o advise_v timothy_n to_o study_n and_o read_n 1_o tim._n 4.13_o and_o prudential_o to_o drink_v water_n with_o his_o wine_n indeed_o as_o i_o have_v say_v what_o need_n have_v the_o apostle_n and_o prophet_n of_o a_o sanhedrim_n and_o council_n if_o that_o they_o have_v have_v all_o thing_n immediate_o inspire_v from_o god_n in_o truth_n if_o we_o will_v but_o open_v our_o eye_n we_o may_v see_v these_o matter_n beyond_o doubt_n thus_o nothing_o be_v plain_a than_o that_o john_n the_o baptist_n know_v not_o christ_n by_o sight_n though_o he_o know_v of_o he_o by_o revelation_n so_o nothing_o be_v more_o evident_a than_o that_o st._n paul_n can_v call_v the_o highpriest_n a_o white_v wall_n in_o a_o mistake_n for_o all_o that_o he_o have_v christ_n particular_a promise_n to_o be_v help_v before_o ruler_n in_o short_a this_o argument_n need_v no_o other_o evidence_n unless_o it_o be_v for_o those_o who_o none_o can_v convince_v shall_v the_o scripture_n tell_v we_o that_o even_o the_o angel_n be_v impure_a in_o the_o sight_n of_o god_n and_o shall_v we_o be_v afraid_a to_o charge_v man_n with_o fault_n indeed_o can_v christ_n himself_o be_v in_o such_o doubt_n as_o to_o want_v a_o angel_n to_o comfort_v he_o and_o to_o cry_v out_o my_o god_n my_o god_n why_o have_v thou_o forsake_v i_o upon_o the_o cross_n and_o may_v we_o not_o charge_v his_o disciple_n with_o weakness_n but_o to_o proceed_v not_o only_o single_a person_n but_o even_o church_n also_o may_v arrive_v at_o the_o state_n of_o prophecy_n church_n of_o prophetic_a church_n if_o they_o be_v but_o pious_a according_o thus_o what_o be_v the_o israelite_n but_o a_o generation_n of_o
