if they were to Mourn apart then who shall hinder their Rejoycing and Praising God apart when the time is come Rev. 1. 7. Behold he cometh with Clouds mark and every Eye shall see him and they also which pierced him and all Kindreds of the Earth shall Wail because of him even so Amen And the gathering is and must be to him whom they have pierced when the Lord opens the Eyes both of the Male and Female to see him whom they have pierced they shall mourn for him as one mourneth for his only Son and shall be in bitterness for him as one that is in bitterness for his first-born They that sow in Tears shall reap in Joy Psal 126. 5. Those Women who were gathered together to mourn for him who was crucified and pierced it was not long that they had waited at the Sepulchre Mourning till they were made Witnesses of his Resurrection and then joy and gladness filled their Hearts yea these holy Women were made Witnesses before the Men the Lord seeing it meet in his Wisdom to reveal himself to and in the weaker Vessels that he may stain the Pride of all Flesh and bring into contempt all the honourable of the Earth Matth. 27. 55 56. And many Women were there beholding afar off which followed Jesus from Galilee ministring unto him Here was Women Ministers ministring unto Christ among which was Mary Magdalen and Mary the Mother of James and Joses and the Mother of Zebedee's Children Here was a Meeting of Women following Jesus from Galilee And who can forbid a gathering of Women following the Light of Christ out of the World from all its Affections and Lusts even through the Cross to the Death that they may witness through him the Resurrection unto Life eternal and so rejoyce and praise him together Mark 16. 9. Now when Jesus was risen early the first day of the Week he appeared first to Mary Magdalen out of whom he had cast seven Devils and she went and told them that had been with him as they mourned and wept Here was Mourners and Weepers in the men's Meeting as well as among the Women And who can forbid the Women to come to the Men and declare it to the men when they are made Witnesses of the Resurrection of the Life of Jesus Christ in their own Hearts as Mary Magdalen did to the Apostles Acts 16. 13. And on the Sabbath we went out of the City by a River-side where Prayer was wont to be made and we sate down and spake unto the Women which resorted thither Here was a Womans meeting by a River-side And here Paul and those that were with him came and sate down with them and Paul spake to them and the Lord opened Lydia's Heart So as men feel a freedom from the Lord and a true desire raised up in them they may go to the womens meetings and visit the womens meetings and sit down with them and wait upon the Lord together and Pray and Prophecy together and Praise the Lord together Deborah was a Prophetess and judged Israel and was a Mother in Israel and what a Prophecy she prophesied in the Name of the Lord and what gracious Words proceeded from the Spirit of God through her you may read at large in the fourth and fifth Chapter of Judges Hannah was a good Woman and she prayed in her Heart and spoke in her Heart unto the Lord and the Lord heard her and gave her her Request he gave her Samuel and Samuel was one of the Lords Prophets and after she had brought forth her first-born she rendred Thanks unto the Lord and what gracious Words came from Gods own Spirit in this Woman you may read 1 Sam. 2. And there was a wise Woman in Abel of Beth-maacah who gave good Counsel unto Joab and to the men of the City and delivered the City from Destruction she was one that was peaceable and faithful and a Mother in Israel as you may read 2 Sam. 20. Such women as these may be permitted to speak in the Church and will not be hindred nor stopt by the Righteous But the covetous proud Priesthood of this Generation is of another mind warring against the appearance of God both in the Male and Female forbidding all either to Preach or Prophesie except those who are approved and licensed by themselves and has received-their Mark but their Building is shaken and their Foundation discovered and their Power is broken and scattered and the Consumption determined is come and coming upon them read Zach. 14. 12 13. And you may read 2 King 22. How Hilkiah the Priest found the Book of the Law in the House of the Lord and gave it to Shaphan the Scribe and he read it and also he read it to the King and we see how tender the Heart of good Josiah the King was and how he rent his Clothes and humbled himself and how he sent Hilkiah the Priest and others of his Counsellors to enquire of the Lord for him and the People and for all Judah concerning the words of the Book of the Law that had been lost and was found in the House of God for the King perceived that the Wrath of the Lord was great against them because they and their Fathers had not hearkened unto the words of the Book of the Law to do accordingly to what there was written and they went unto Huldah the Prophetess and enquired at her What! was there not a Prophet in all Jerusalem nor in Judea to enquire at that they went to the Prophetess Was there not a man that knew the Word of the Lord that they went to a Woman Yea there was howbeit they went to a woman and the Lord spake to them by a woman They read the Words in the Book of the Law without them Jer. 1. 2. But this woman read in the Book of Life Come hear all you who despise Womens Teaching and Prophecying in the Church answer me plainly What do you think of this Woman If she were in your dayes would you not forbid her and tell her that women are not permitted to teach or prophesie and that Paul permits not a Woman to speak in the Church Oh! that the Lord God may open your Eyes to see and know what Women those are that Paul speaks of there and then I know that the best of you who are against holy Womens speaking in the Church would be quiet your selves and forbear speaking in the Church till ye come to dwell in that holy Spirit wherein this holy Woman Huldah dwelt for I here declare that all men as well as women that is in their first fallen estate in their first birth in old Adam's nature let them be never so gloriously adorn'd with knowledge learning and wisdom arts parts and sciences I say they are nothing then but Women not permitted to speak in Christs Church But in the new and second Birth the man and the woman is all one in the Lord and the

the Lord and maintain the false Prophets at their Table or otherwise and all them who run greedily after the Error of Balaam for Reward and all them who speak evil of the things they know not all the Gehazians who covet Silver Gold and Apparel and continue to be covered with the Leprosie of Sin to the day of their Death These who were Lepers were shut out under the Law and now they are shut out by the Spirit of God none of these can be permitted to speak in Christ's Church and all them who deny the new Law of Christ and Covenant of God to be written in the Hearts of Men and Women and all them who deny the Unction of the holy One and the leadings and guidings of the Spirit of Truth that leads into all Truth to be alone all-sufficient and all such Ministers as break Christ's Command and justifie themselves in so do doing as in calling one another Master James and Master John c. None of these while in that state may or can be permitted to speak in the Church of God but if they do they are to be testified against and all them that look for Gain and seeks for Gain from their Quarters and teach for Hire and divine for Money and all them who exercise Lordship over God's Heritage and all them who beat their fellow-Servants and eat and drink with the Drunkards and all them who steal the Words one from another and say Thus saith the Lord when the Lord never spake to them and all them who use unsound Words and slattering Titles to please Men and keep not the form of sound words and all them that have a form of Godliness denying the Power I say none of these may or can be permitted to speak in the Church of God and all those who deny Scripture-Testimony concerning Christ and undervalue his divine Precepts and Commands None of these may or can be permitted to speak in Christ's Church But I had almost forgot to tell you and did forget till the Spirit of Truth brought it to my remembrance that it is impossible that either Male or Fe●ale can speak in Christ's Church till ●hey be redeemed out of all these for the ●●ue Church is in God and God is in his ●wn Kingdom where the rebellious and ●nd disobedient and unclean cannot en●er nor any Man nor Woman can enter Gods Kingdom till they be born again ●nd made new in Christ Jesus To be short all who deny the Prophets Doctrine or Christ's Doctrine his di●ine Precepts recorded in holy Scripture ●r deny the Apostles Doctrine I say ●●ch are not to be permitted to speak in ●he solemn Assemblies of the Saints and ●lthough they confess all to be true yet if ●hey walk contrary in Life and Practice ●hey are to be silent in the solemn Assem●lies of the Righteous And all the Women that live in Pride and in Covetousness and in the vain Adornings of their outward Bodies and all that are drunken with the Cares and carnal Pleasures of this present evil World and all who useth Usurpation over the Man outward or inward are to be silent and not to speak in the Congregations of the Righteous Whoever they be Man or Woman that are found in the first Adam's nature in the fall they not witnessing a Death to that first Birth in them and a Resurrection throug● Jesus Christ unto Life in some measure● I say be they man or woman the Spirit o● God forbids them speaking in the Church And as the Man and the Woman are a● one in the Lord being filled by the sam● Spirit of God may speak in the Churc● as the Spirit of God gives them utterance● it being not they that speak but Christ i● them the Spirit of Truth in them So the Man and the Woman are all one in old Adam in the fall and such old Creatures may not nor can be permitted to speak in the Church Isa 49. 22 23. Thus saith the Lord God Behold I will lift up mine Hand to the Gentiles and set up my Standard to the People and they shall bring thy Sons in their Bosom and thy Daughters shall be carried upon their Shoulders and Kings shall be thy Nursing-Fathers and their Queens thy Nursing-Mothers c. Was it not here foretold that Women also should be nourishers or Nurses in Christ's Church And if they be Nurses they must have something to give to the Children and Milk in their Breasts to the Babes And if a Woman have the Milk of the Word of God in her Breast to wit in her Heart let her not hide nor keep it back but she must give it forth to ●●e hungry Babes for if she do not her ●reasts will grow dry O! my Soul and Life hath travelled with ●he Lord that I might see this day fulfilled ●hat this barren VVilderness might become ● fruitful Field that Kings and Queens ●rinces and their Princesses Dukes and ●heir Dutchesses and all other great Men ●nd great Women of all Ranks and De●rees whatsoever among whom I have ●welt in the outward from my birth might ●ome to receive the Word of Life in them●elves and partake of the Promise in Christ Jesus in his Church and that they may ●ome to witness that noble Birth brought forth in them that partakes of the Milk of ●he Word of God and would cause it to issue abundantly to nourish the hungry Babes and Children of Christ O Lord God! I wait for thy Salvation to see thee perform that word that sprung in my heart concerning them even that the Wilderness should become a fruitful Field and that the fruitful Field shall become a Wilderness It is with thee O Lord to do that which no other can do even to bring down the high Mountains and to level the high Hills and to make thy Way thorow them and to exalt thy Glory in the whole Earth for thou art God and there is none else with thee all things are possible glory to thy great Name forever and evermore saith my Soul Joel 2. 28. Acts 2. 17 18. And it shal come to pass that in the last days saith God I will pour out of my Spirit upon all Flesh and your Sons and your Daughters shall Prophecy and your Young Men shall see Visions and your Old Men shall dream Dreams and on my Servants and on my Hand-maidens I will pour out in those days of my Spirit and they shall Prophecy And now in this Age and in our Day the Lord is fulfilling his Promise and his Spirit is poured forth upon many Sons and Daughters Servants and Hand-maidens The Earnest Penny is already received and many of them are runing to and fro and trading with their heavenly Penny their heavenly Gift that the may bring the Increase and Gain to their Lord and Master Christ Jesus And W● will be to them who hide their Lords Money in the Earth and put their Candl● under a Bushel of Earth and Wo also will be to them who stop forbid and disturb th● Sons and Daughters Servants and Handmaidens of the Lord in their going to and fro and improving their Lords money to wit their heavenly Gift that knowledg● may be encreased I say wo and misery will be the portion of such who distrub and stop them in their Travel if they Repent not Psal 2. 10 11 12. Be Wise now therefore O ye Kings be instructed ye Judges of the Earth serve the Lord with fear and rejoyce with Trembling kiss the Son lest he be angry and ye perish from the Way When his wrath is kindled but a little blessed are all they that put their trust in him If you rebel against him till his Wrath be kindled against you he will break you dash you to pieces one against another like a Potters Vessel And now you may see that the Promise is to Daughters as well as to Sons to Handmaidens as well as to Men-servants and that the one shall prophesie as truly as the other Hugh Wood.
