A81727	Gospel-Glory proclaimed before the sonnes of men, in the visible and invisible worship of God. Wherein the mystery of God in Christ, and his royall, spirituall government over the soules and bodies of his saints, is clearly discovered, plainly asserted, and faithfully vindicated, against the deceiver and his servants, who endeavour the cessation thereof, upon what pretence soever. / By Edward Drapes, an unworthy servant in the gospell of Christ.

2._o 6._o 7._o great_o 3._o there_o be_v likewise_o a_o baptism_n of_o affliction_n or_o suffering_n affliction_n a_o baptism_n of_o affliction_n therefore_o say_v christ_n i_o have_v a_o baptism_n

also_o for_o this_o be_v that_o by_o which_o we_o be_v enable_v to_o try_v spirit_n by_o their_o doctrine_n for_o this_o be_v the_o very_a way_n that_o the_o lord_n prescribe_v for_o the_o trial_n of_o spirit_n viz_o by_o their_o doctrine_n 1_o john_n 4._o 1_o 2_o 3._o this_o discern_a of_o spirit_n be_v not_o as_o many_o conceive_v that_o we_o shall_v immediate_o know_v whether_o their_o

ground_n of_o propesy_n be_v the_o true_a knowledge_n of_o the_o testimony_n prophesy_n the_o true_a ground_n of_o prophesy_n of_o jesus_n which_o be_v the_o doctrine_n of_o christ_n except_o a_o soul_n be_v lead_v through_o the_o inspiration_n of_o god_n in_o the_o light_n of_o god_n he_o can_v true_o prophesy_v the_o power_n enable_v to_o it_o be_v the_o power_n in_o the_o new_a creation_n we_o believe_v and_o therefore_o we_o speak_v many_o conceive_v saint_n be_v not_o to_o prophesy_v till_o they_o have_v such_o a_o immediate_a power_n seize_v upon_o they_o which_o may_v force_v they_o to_o speak_v whether_o they_o will_v or_o no_o which_o for_o my_o part_n for_o these_o two_o reason_n i_o judge_v contrary_a to_o scripture_n 1._o because_o we_o be_v command_v not_o to_o quench_v the_o spirit_n nor_o despise_v prophesy_v now_o if_o prophesy_n do_v so_o move_v in_o a_o man_n who_o can_v quench_v the_o spirit_n of_o it_o sure_o it_o will_v work_v irresistible_o a_o second_o reason_n why_o i_o so_o judge_v be_v because_o it_o be_v say_v the_o spirit_n of_o the_o prophet_n be_v subject_a to_o the_o prophet_n now_o herein_o be_v they_o subject_a that_o one_o must_v stay_v till_o the_o other_o hold_v his_o peace_n and_o the_o rest_n must_v judge_v what_o be_v deliver_v now_o i_o say_v these_o two_o thing_n will_v be_v frustrate_a be_v it_o by_o such_o a_o power_n some_o plead_v for_o for_o what_o need_v any_o to_o be_v judge_n if_o it_o come_v with_o such_o a_o power_n and_o how_o can_v they_o stay_v one_o for_o another_o or_o keep_v silence_n one_o for_o another_o if_o such_o a_o power_n be_v in_o they_o but_o this_o i_o say_v there_o be_v or_o aught_o to_o be_v such_o a_o power_n as_o may_v enable_v they_o to_o speak_v to_o edification_n exhortation_n &_o comfort_n &_o that_o by_o course_n that_o there_o be_v no_o confusion_n and_o this_o be_v prophesy_v upon_o a_o good_a ground_n i_o shall_v only_o to_o this_o particular_a add_v this_o word_n that_o we_o be_v not_o where_o command_v to_o judge_v the_o principle_n of_o a_o brother_n act_n neither_o his_o act_n by_o his_o principle_n but_o his_o principle_n by_o his_o action_n second_o the_o person_n who_o may_v so_o prophesy_v be_v all_o the_o brethren_n prophesy_v who_o may_v prophesy_v all_o the_o prophet_n therefore_o say_v paul_n you_o may_v all_o prophesy_v this_o all_o he_o interpret_v to_o be_v the_o prophet_n say_v let_v the_o prophet_n speak_v two_o or_o three_o and_o let_v the_o rest_n judge_n 1_o cor._n 14._o 29._o may_v not_o woman_n prophesy_v in_o the_o church_n sure_o it_o be_v say_v a_o woman_n pray_v object_n or_o prophesy_v which_o imply_v she_o may_v prophesy_v as_o well_o as_o other_o in_o answer_n to_o this_o consider_v the_o same_o apostle_n that_o say_v let_v the_o sol._n prophet_n prophesy_v in_o the_o same_o chapter_n also_o say_v let_v your_o woman_n keep_v 12._o whether_o a_o woman_n may_v speak_v in_o the_o church_n 1_o

silence_n with_o all_o subjection_n but_o i_o suffer_v not_o a_o woman_n to_o teach_v nor_o to_o usurp_v authority_n i_o conclude_v a_o woman_n may_v not_o so_o prophesy_v as_o the_o brethren_n may_v in_o the_o 14_o of_o cor._n and_o that_o for_o these_o reason_n 1._o because_o she_o be_v first_o in_o the_o transgression_n through_o her_o forwardness_n to_o teach_v and_o aspire_v above_o her_o place_n she_o be_v first_o deceive_v and_o do_v deceive_v her_o husband_n 2._o she_o be_v more_o subject_n to_o temptation_n and_o to_o be_v delude_v by_o reason_n of_o the_o weakness_n of_o her_o nature_n now_o god_n will_v have_v she_o learn_v in_o silence_n she_o that_o teach_v the_o man_n to_o his_o fall_n must_v now_o be_v teach_v by_o he_o and_o be_v in_o subjection_n 3._o that_o hereby_o she_o may_v manifest_v her_o humility_n in_o willing_o become_v subject_n who_o subject_v her_o husband_n through_o her_o enticement_n to_o so_o much_o misery_n but_o yet_o notwithstanding_o when_o i_o consider_v the_o reason_n of_o their_o be_v command_v silence_n to_o be_v take_v from_o the_o law_n and_o yet_o under_o the_o law_n miriam_n and_o deborah_n be_v prophetess_n and_o when_o i_o mind_n that_o god_n make_v a_o promise_n that_o his_o son_n and_o daughter_n shall_v prophesy_v and_o that_o philip_n have_v four_o daughter_n which_o do_v prophesy_v act_v 21._o 9_o and_o when_o i_o weigh_v paul_n saying_n a_o woman_n pray_v or_o prophesy_v with_o her_o head_n cover_v it_o make_v i_o believe_v that_o a_o woman_n may_v prophesy_v and_o that_o in_o the_o church_n also_o so_o that_o i_o say_v we_o must_v necessary_o consider_v the_o manner_n of_o her_o speak_v to_o be_v here_o forbid_v she_o may_v prophesy_v as_o prophesy_v be_v consider_v a_o immediate_a gift_n from_o heaven_n for_o the_o revelation_n of_o some_o great_a secret_a or_o mystery_n that_o the_o brethren_n be_v ignorant_a of_o or_o for_o the_o foretell_v of_o thing_n to_o come_v she_o may_v speak_v be_v carry_v

and_o to_o order_v the_o whole_a worship_n of_o god_n according_a to_o what_o they_o find_v write_v so_o that_o i_o say_v it_o be_v not_o miracle_n but_o a_o command_n of_o christ_n or_o a_o good_a

find_v their_o duty_n from_o the_o scripture_n present_o set_v upon_o the_o matter_n to_o choose_v a_o apostle_n in_o judas_n his_o stead_n that_o i_o may_v end_v this_o discourse_n we_o be_v to_o consider_v that_o we_o have_v the_o apostle_n and_o the_o miracle_n that_o jesus_n and_o the_o apostle_n wrought_v with_o we_o that_o there_o need_v no_o plead_n for_o apostle_n again_o in_o the_o

of_o god_n for_o we_o and_o so_o have_v we_o their_o miracle_n that_o be_v to_o say_v they_o be_v still_o before_o our_o eye_n according_a to_o the_o say_n of_o christ_n they_o have_v moses_n and_o the_o prophet_n when_o they_o have_v only_o their_o writing_n and_o not_o the_o body_n of_o either_o and_o according_a to_o that_o say_n in_o john_n and_o many_o other_o sign_n true_o do_v jesus_n ult_n john_n 20._o ult_n which_o be_v not_o write_v in_o this_o book_n but_o these_o be_v write_v that_o you_o may_v believe_v that_o jesus_n be_v the_o christ_n the_o son_n of_o god_n moses_n and_o the_o prophet_n christ_n and_o the_o apostle_n be_v all_o in_o the_o scripture_n which_o through_o faith_n in_o christ_n jesus_n be_v able_a to_o make_v we_o perfect_a to_o every_o good_a work_n so_o that_o now_o for_o any_o to_o expect_v other_o miracle_n it_o argue_v they_o find_v not_o nor_o feel_v the_o power_n of_o christ_n in_o they_o by_o the_o spirit_n who_o be_v likely_a to_o meet_v with_o miracle_n but_o indeed_o they_o be_v such_o as_o antichrist_n shall_v work_v to_o deceive_v the_o nation_n who_o shall_v come_v and_o be_v come_v already_o with_o power_n sign_n and_o lie_v

truth_n from_o error_n true_o to_o this_o i_o answer_v that_o miracle_n be_v no_o certain_a sign_n of_o sol._n the_o true_a gospel_n nor_o infallible_a ground_n of_o judge_v of_o it_o for_o antichrist_n shall_v work_v miracle_n so_o that_o except_o we_o know_v whether_o the_o miracle_n be_v true_a or_o feign_v from_o christ_n or_o antichrist_n we_o shall_v be_v never_o the_o never_o so_o that_o i_o say_v again_o first_o we_o can_v never_o tell_v which_o of_o they_o be_v in_o the_o truth_n except_o it_o be_v reveal_v to_o we_o by_o the_o spirit_n of_o truth_n which_o be_v only_o able_a true_o to_o judge_v of_o miracle_n and_o of_o the_o difference_n of_o thing_n that_o in_o the_o midst_n of_o ten_o thousand_o error_n know_v how_o to_o single_a out_o the_o truth_n of_o jesus_n be_v only_o of_o its_o own_o nature_n so_o that_o again_o i_o desire_v thou_o may_v not_o seek_v after_o a_o sign_n like_o a_o foolish_a and_o adulterous_a generation_n leave_v while_o with_o herod_n thou_o will_v have_v christ_n but_o with_o a_o desire_n to_o see_v some_o miracle_n from_o he_o thou_o fall_v short_a of_o christ_n and_o christ_n work_v none_o at_o all_o before_o thou_o as_o indeed_o he_o for_o the_o most_o part_n if_o not_o always_o refuse_v to_o do_v to_o they_o that_o demand_v they_o of_o he_o but_o notwithstanding_o if_o thou_o shall_v yet_o say_v sure_o none_o may_v preach_v except_o apostle_n and_o they_o that_o be_v so_o send_v as_o they_o be_v i_o shall_v only_o say_v this_o to_o thou_o thou_o may_v as_o well_o expect_v christ_n to_o come_v again_o in_o the_o

remain_v with_o this_o confidence_n that_o those_o who_o god_n by_o his_o spirit_n give_v a_o message_n to_o and_o enable_v they_o to_o declare_v it_o for_o the_o gather_n of_o the_o saint_n into_o the_o fellowship_n of_o the_o gospel_n be_v true_a approve_a minister_n of_o the_o lord_n jesus_n but_o if_o they_o be_v true_a minister_n of_o the_o gospel_n why_o do_v they_o not_o do_v as_o the_o

but_o among_o they_o some_o be_v principal_o apostle_n of_o the_o circumcision_n while_o paul_n be_v a_o minister_n or_o a_o apostle_n to_o the_o gentile_n but_o again_o some_o that_o preach_v the_o
