he_o do_v not_o say_v that_o the_o gift_n of_o pray_v by_o the_o spirit_n be_v expire_v in_o his_o time_n and_o though_o chrysostome_n have_v say_v so_o i_o suppose_v the_o author_n himself_o do_v

say_v nothing_o common_o of_o preach_v and_o pray_v by_o the_o spirit_n because_o they_o do_v not_o reckon_v preach_v and_o pray_v by_o the_o spirit_n any_o of_o that_o sort_n of_o miraculous_a and_o

a_o argument_n rather_o against_o the_o author_n assertion_n than_o in_o favour_n of_o it_o and_o since_o the_o author_n do_v acknowledge_v that_o divers_a miraculous_a gift_n of_o the_o spirit_n do_v remain_v in_o the_o church_n for_o some_o hundred_o of_o year_n after_o the_o apostle_n it_o be_v strange_a he_o shall_v suppose_v the_o gift_n of_o preach_v and_o pray_v by_o the_o spirit_n to_o have_v expire_v before_o the_o rest_n but_o his_o prejudice_n against_o the_o principle_n of_o inspiration_n make_v he_o to_o fall_v upon_o such_o a_o absurd_a supposition_n now_o when_o i_o say_v the_o gift_n of_o preach_v and_o pray_v by_o the_o spirit_n be_v none_o of_o the_o miraculous_a and_o extraordinary_a gift_n of_o the_o spirit_n i_o mean_v it_o have_v nothing_o of_o any_o external_a
