5.11.14_o in_o answer_v the_o former_a part_n of_o the_o reason_n he_o be_v very_o large_a but_o more_o negligent_a as_o appear_v in_o his_o deny_v that_o the_o apostle_n speak_v of_o a_o gift_n

the_o reason_n which_o general_a grace_n ought_v to_o manifest_v and_o express_v itself_o in_o the_o edify_a use_n of_o all_o the_o special_a gift_n of_o the_o spirit_n which_o by_o it_o be_v set_v

thes_n 5.11.14_o viz._n that_o since_o the_o end_n which_o be_v edification_n exhortation_n &_o comfort_n continue_v therefore_o the_o gift_n of_o prophesy_n also_o continue_v he_o answer_v that_o

church_n but_o the_o interpretation_n and_o application_n of_o the_o matter_n of_o the_o tongue_n neither_o do_v the_o office_n of_o the_o ministry_n in_o itself_o edify_v but_o the_o use_n and_o exercise_v of_o it_o in_o teach_v and_o exhort_v no_o nor_o yet_o the_o gift_n of_o prophesy_v but_o as_o it_o be_v use_v in_o speak_v as_o v._o 3._o he_o that_o prophesi_v that_o be_v use_v the_o gift_n of_o pprophecy_n speak_v unto_o man_n to_o exhortation_n edification_n and_o comfort_n there_o be_v then_o no_o other_o mean_n to_o edify_v exhort_v and_o comfort_n in_o the_o church_n but_o prophesy_v the_o apostle_n as_o appear_v by_o the_o two_o place_n set_v together_o lay_v these_o duty_n from_o the_o common_a grace_n of_o love_n as_o well_o upon_o brethren_n as_o officers_z ordinary_a as_o extraordinary_a &_o at_o all_o time_n in_o the_o church_n therein_o give_v warrant_n to_o a_o ordinary_a exercise_n of_o pprophecy_n in_o the_o church_n by_o man_n out_o of_o office_n to_o wit_n have_v gift_n &_o ability_n answerable_a to_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n the_o second_o argument_n be_v from_o v._o 21._o where_o the_o apostle_n say_v you_o may_v all_o prophesy_v one_o by_o one_o that_o all_o may_v learn_v &_o all_o may_v be_v comfort_v he_o speak_v of_o all_o be_v prophesy_v as_o large_o as_o of_o all_o be_v learning_n this_o say_v he_o be_v absurd_a be_v all_o the_o church_n prophet_n if_o all_o may_v prophesy_v who_o shall_v learn_v the_o h._n gh._n say_v all_o but_o that_o be_v to_o be_v understand_v of_o such_o as_o have_v gift_n all_o aught_o to_o have_v the_o gift_n of_o hear_v but_o the_o like_a be_v not_o of_o prophesy_v &_o i_o say_v this_o gift_n be_v extraordinary_a for_o how_o can_v all_o man_n study_v the_o scripture_n when_o they_o have_v they_o not_o in_o their_o native_a tongue_n it_o be_v absurd_a indeed_o if_o i_o think_v that_o every_o person_n in_o the_o church_n be_v to_o prophesy_v but_o why_o shall_v he_o challenge_v i_o or_o i_o purge_v myself_o of_o this_o absurdity_n whereas_o the_o contrary_a be_v most_o evident_a both_o in_o the_o word_n of_o the_o question_n which_o be_v that_o other_o have_v receive_v a_o gif●_n thereunto_o may_v and_o aught_o to_o stir_v up_o the_o same_o and_o to_o use_v it_o in_o the_o church_n and_o every_o where_n in_o the_o handle_n of_o it_o by_o all_o than_o i_o mean_v all_o that_o have_v gift_n and_o so_o take_v all_o for_o prophesy_v as_o large_o yet_o in_o the_o subject_n according_a to_o the_o receive_a rule_n of_o expound_v the_o note_n of_o universality_n as_o the_o other_o all_o for_o learning_n his_o question_n if_o all_o may_v prophesy_v who_o shall_v learn_v be_v easy_o answer_v for_o they_o who_o prophesy_v at_o one_o time_n may_v learn_v at_o another_o it_o be_v the_o disease_n of_o the_o exalt_a clergy_n to_o scorn_v to_o learn_v any_o thing_n of_o other_o than_o themselves_o and_o almost_o one_o of_o another_o where_o he_o further_o say_v that_o all_o

that_o gift_n but_o if_o he_o speak_v any_o thing_n to_o the_o purpose_n in_o hand_n he_o must_v go_v further_o and_o say_v that_o no_o ordinary_a brethren_n out_o of_o office_n ought_v to_o have_v the_o gift_n of_o pprophecy_n which_o if_o it_o be_v true_a then_o ought_v none_o to_o strive_v for_o fitness_n to_o become_v officer_n neither_o be_v the_o reproof_n just_a which_o the_o apostle_n
