of_o private_a interpretation_n 4._o as_o to_o our_o four_o presumption_n that_o prophecy_n be_v no_o ordinary_a but_o extraordinary_a gift_n because_o it_o be_v reckon_v among_o the_o rare_a gift_n of_o the_o apostle_n our_o brethren_n answer_v 1_o cor._n 14.20_o 111._o pag._n 111._o that_o the_o reason_n why_o it_o be_v prefer_v before_o tongue_n be_v express_v there_o because_o it_o be_v of_o more_o public_a use_n for_o edification_n we_o say_v that_o be_v one_o reason_n but_o according_a to_o the_o apostle_n in_o case_n he_o that_o speak_v with_o tongue_n do_v interpret_v that_o reason_n fail_v 1_o cor._n 14.5_o and_o then_o another_o must_v be_v find_v and_o as_o to_o this_o reason_n though_o the_o prophet_n be_v great_a in_o one_o respect_n yet_o he_o be_v less_o in_o another_o for_o he_o can_v show_v no_o sign_n for_o the_o confirmation_n of_o the_o truth_n he_o speak_v 5._o we_o have_v tell_v our_o brethren_n that_o the_o formal_a effect_n of_o public_a edify_n comfort_a edify_a convince_a convert_v soul_n be_v ascribe_v to_o these_o prophet_n 1_o cor._n 14._o and_o therefore_o some_o thought_n they_o be_v officer_n to_o this_o our_o brethren_n answer_v pastor_n and_o teacher_n be_v ordinary_a officer_n and_o their_o gift_n ordinary_a yet_o they_o be_v useful_a to_o these_o end_n what_o do_v this_o prove_v ergo_fw-la if_o prophet_n be_v officer_n their_o gift_n also_o may_v be_v so_o useful_a i_o think_v that_o be_v all_o if_o these_o prophet_n be_v any_o species_n of_o officer_n it_o be_v enough_o for_o our_o turn_n 6._o we_o tell_v our_o brethren_n

reason_n why_o the_o apostle_n sometime_o distinguish_v those_o thing_n each_o from_o other_o which_o in_o themselves_o seem_v alike_o as_o 1_o cor._n 14.6_o 3._o if_o because_o prophesy_v be_v distinguish_v from_o the_o word_n of_o knowledge_n and_o the_o word_n of_o wisdom_n we_o will_v conclude_v that_o by_o prophesy_v must_v be_v mean_v foretell_v thing_n to_o come_v than_o we_o must_v conclude_v two_o sort_n of_o prophet_n one_o who_o proper_a work_n shall_v be_v to_o foretell_v thing_n to_o come_v another_o who_o proper_a distinctive_a act_n shall_v be_v to_o exhort_v convince_v

12._o be_v speak_v of_o a_o diversity_n of_o gift_n divide_v as_o he_o say_v ver_fw-la 11._o to_o every_o man_n several_o from_o whence_o it_o will_v follow_v that_o prophecy_n be_v neither_o the_o

nor_o the_o interpretation_n of_o tongue_n but_o the_o formal_a gift_n of_o prophecy_n must_v be_v some_o nine_o thing_n distinct_a from_o all_o these_o but_o second_o it_o will_v not_o follow_v but_o some_o person_n may_v have_v more_o than_o one_o of_o these_o
