thence_o draw_v argument_n in_o question_n of_o religion_n but_o from_o the_o rest_n which_o he_o expound_v not_o the_o argument_n will_v be_v but_o probable_a so_o here_o i_o may_v say_v mr._n hooker_n argument_n be_v weak_a because_o member_n have_v diverse_a office_n in_o the_o natural_a body_n and_o st._n paul_n say_v we_o be_v a_o body_n and_o one_o another_o member_n like_o the_o other_o so_o far_o but_o leave_v out_o the_o rest_n and_o diverse_a office_n distinct_a may_v i_o not_o say_v that_o this_o do_v not_o enforce_v it_o but_o let_v we_o go_v on_o i_o will_v not_o say_v so_o for_o although_o i_o think_v this_o text_n do_v not_o enforce_v it_o yet_o i_o think_v it_o true_a doctrine_n that_o there_o be_v diverse_a office_n in_o the_o body_n of_o the_o church_n like_o diverse_a member_n in_o the_o body_n anselm_n h._n rabanus_n maurus_n with_o other_o have_v paralel_v they_o in_o their_o comment_n on_o this_o text._n let_v we_o now_o go_v on_o although_o it_o be_v true_a doctrine_n that_o as_o in_o the_o body_n many_o member_n have_v distinct_a office_n and_o ability_n to_o perform_v their_o duty_n which_o be_v not_o compatible_a to_o other_o so_o it_o be_v in_o the_o church_n there_o be_v diverse_a member_n which_o have_v distinct_a office_n and_o those_o office_n assist_v with_o diverse_a grace_n peculiar_a to_o they_o and_o not_o to_o other_o yet_o this_o text_n go_v not_o to_o discourse_v of_o the_o distinction_n of_o officer_n but_o of_o the_o manage_n of_o they_o it_o never_o parallel_v that_o and_o all_o member_n have_v not_o the_o same_o office_n but_o only_o that_o we_o be_v one_o body_n and_o one_o another_o member_n sect_n v._o diverse_a gift_n and_o office_n have_v then_o etc._n etc._n i_o will_v stand_v upon_o no_o criticism_n here_o to_o talk_v of_o a_o hebraism_n without_o necessity_n methinks_v the_o text_n be_v full_a have_v then_o diverse_a gift_n mark_v diverse_a gift_n there_o be_v many_o organical_a member_n which_o have_v beside_o their_o office_n ability_n and_o gift_n as_o beauty_n strength_n and_o the_o like_a which_o be_v powerful_a assistant_n ad_fw-la benè_fw-la operandum_fw-la to_o do_v their_o office_n more_o dexterous_o and_o commendable_o now_o then_o as_o we_o find_v among_o we_o there_o be_v diverse_a officer_n and_o diverse_a gift_n among_o these_o officer_n ability_n of_o utterance_n of_o knowledge_n and_o the_o like_a so_o may_v in_o these_o man_n here_o speak_v of_o but_o indeed_o the_o very_a authority_n be_v a_o gift_n of_o god_n to_o do_v these_o thing_n of_o god_n and_o these_o authority_n or_o gift_n whatsoever_o be_v distinguish_v by_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n that_o be_v give_v we_o not_o our_o own_o merit_n but_o his_o favour_n and_o grace_n both_o give_v the_o gift_n and_o the_o difference_n but_o since_o it_o be_v a_o gift_n of_o a_o member_n therefore_o it_o must_v be_v use_v to_o the_o good_a of_o the_o member_n and_o not_o for_o our_o own_o private_a end_n and_o here_o the_o apostle_n do_v not_o make_v that_o division_n of_o gift_n so_o contradistinct_a that_o they_o can_v come_v together_o but_o say_v that_o whatsoever_o gift_n any_o man_n ●ath_v of_o do_v good_a as_o he_o must_v acknowledge_v it_o the_o gift_n of_o god_n so_o he_o must_v use_v it_o to_o the_o good_a of_o his_o neighbour_n whether_o prophecy_n or_o ministry_n that_o this_o be_v the_o sense_n appear_v out_o of_o that_o clause_n in_o the_o similitude_n not_o parallel_v so_o we_o see_v it_o do_v by_o this_o instance_n make_v by_o the_o apostle_n where_o be_v no_o opposition_n in_o the_o person_n but_o only_o a_o difference_n in_o gift_n which_o may_v well_o be_v in_o the_o same_o office_n without_o any_o inconsistency_n or_o reluctancy_n if_o any_o man_n will_v see_v this_o discourse_n more_o full_o let_v he_o read_v the_o same_o apostle_n 1_o cor._n 12._o 4._o there_o be_v diversity_n of_o gift_n but_o the_o same_o spirit_n then_o go_v to_o verse_n 9_o 10._o to_o one_o be_v give_v by_o the_o spirit_n the_o word_n of_o wisdom_n etc._n etc._n let_v any_o man_n peruse_v they_o all_o and_o see_v whether_o they_o be_v office_n or_o gift_n and_o the_o same_o word_n be_v use_v for_o those_o gift_n there_o as_o here_o which_o be_v 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d and_o in_o the_o 12._o verse_n to_o make_v these_o place_n meet_v he_o deduce_v the_o same_o simile_n out_o of_o these_o premise_n of_o these_o gift_n as_o in_o this_o text_n he_o deduce_v the_o condition_n or_o scope_n of_o the_o gift_n from_o that_o simile_n so_o that_o then_o i_o conclude_v some_o of_o these_o gift_n be_v the_o same_o be_v use_v there_o the_o word_n the_o same_o that_o be_v use_v there_o and_o it_o be_v impossible_a to_o force_v those_o to_o office_n therefore_o it_o shall_v be_v a_o violence_n to_o force_v these_o let_v we_o come_v to_o the_o particular_n whether_o prophecy_n etc._n etc._n whether_o this_o be_v a_o office_n or_o no_o be_v hard_o to_o determine_v i_o be_o

to_o foretell_v the_o will_n of_o god_n concern_v thing_n to_o come_v of_o which_o there_o be_v diverse_a in_o the_o first_o age_n of_o the_o church_n or_o else_o by_o prophecy_n may_v be_v mean_v

his_o business_n let_v he_o prophesy_v according_a to_o the_o proportion_n of_o faith_n what_o that_o be_v i_o will_v not_o examine_v it_o be_v something_o for_o the_o good_a of_o other_o who_o be_v
