man and the woman that comes through the Cross of Christ to have the first man crucified and slain in them and the second birth brought forth in them and they being born again not of corruptible seed but of incorruptible by the Word of God which liveth and abideth sorever I say be it either man or woman that comes to this state may preach and prophesie in the Church and speak and pray and praise God in the Church for it is not they that speak but it is Christ Jesus that speaketh in them they being nothing but the empty Pitcher until the heavenly Light and Life appear and Christ doth utter his Voice through their earthly Tabernacles for we preach not our selves said Paul 2 Cor. 4. 5 6 7. but Christ Jesus the Lord and our selves your servants for Jesus sake for God who commanded the Light to shine out of Darkness hath shined in our hearts to give the Light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ see also Mat. 17. 2. But we have this Treasure in earthen Vessels that the excellency of the Power may be of GOD and not of VS There is a great Mystery lieth hidden in all the Scriptures of Truth which the first man seeth not and knoweth not but it is opened in the Light of the Lord in the glorious face of Jesus Christ to the truly sincere and seeking Soul who loves the Light and hates Darkness I say in this 14 vers of the 22 chap. of 2 King there lieth open a clear Manifestation of the place dwelling of a true Prophet or Prophetess the enlightn'd Mind doth see it in the openings of the Springs of Life in the face of Jesus Christ they see it whose face doth shine as the Sun in his strength and his Rayment is white as the Light O that the vail were taken off all hearts that the eyes of all might be open'd and anointed with Christ's Eye-salve that they may see believe in him and turn to him who rends the vail breaks down the middle wall of partition it is the true Light and Life in man and in woman of Christ Jesus in them that opens all the Mysteries of his Father's Kingdom The King and his Nobles and Hilkiah the Priest had a knowledge of God and his Law by holy History and by Report and Hear-say and they were zealously affected real so far as they did know but Huldah that godly Woman was come to the holy Spirit of Prophesie where she knew and heard the Voice of God immediately and saw him by the seeing of the Eye of her Soul as Job did The King and the Priest and the Scribe and the rest of the King's Counsellors had the outward Book of the Law which was found in the outward Temple open'd unto them But Huldah this godly Women and Prophetess of the Lord had the inward Book of the Law which she had found in ●he inward Temple opened unto her by ●im who openeth the Seals in all Ages even Christ Jesus the Lamb of God the Lyon of the Tribe of Judah the Root and Off-spring of David the bright and morning Star the Light and Life of men I say ●e had open'd the Book of Life unto Huldah and doth open it to all who believe in and follow him both Men and Women They read in the Law and believed it and were humbled before the Lord and their hearts were tendred and they wept and this was and is acceptable with God in its time and place Oh! that this were the case with Kings Nobles and People this day wherein there is as great a Cloud of Wrath hanging over our heads and ready to be poured forth because of our Transgressions Iniquities and Rebellions as ever hung over the heads of Israel in the days of old we are guilty of the like Transgressions and may expect the same Punishments if speedy and unfeigned Repentance prevent it not and it would have been poured out long e'er now but that the Lord waits to be gracious and is calling and hastening People out of Sodom that they be not consumed in the Flames of eternal Vengeance Oh! this Land is guilty guilty let great and small and Persons of all ranks and degrees lay it to heart But to return to our purpose in hand The King and the Priest and the Scribe and the rest read and heard read the Book of the Law written by Moses and others of the Lords Prophets and believed what was written and was humbled before the Lord when they heard of the Wrath denounced because of their Iniquities and Rebellions and this as I said before was acceptable with God in its time and place But men and women are not to stay here nor set up their standard here but they are to travel on till they come to witness deliverance from the Evil against which the Wrath is denounced and till they come to travel beyond the Historical knowledge and hear-say and be made partakers of the Life it self even the Life of the Son of God manifested in their earthen Vessels and they being born again without which they can neither see nor enter the Kingdom of God nor hear the Voice of God in his own Kingdom Huldah was come here and had her dwelling here to wit into the new Birth and here she read in the Book of Life and heard the Word of the Lord And the King and the Priest and ●he rest knew this and therefore was not ●atisfied with what they could learn from ●he Letter of the Law till they went and ●nquired at her who knew the Word of ●he Lord and what effect the Word of ●he Lord through this good Woman had ●pon good King Josiah and the rest you may read 2 King 23. There is one thing more which comes before me which I may not let pass and that is the grievous mistake of the Letter-learned who prosess themselves to be the only men and I verily think believe themselves to be the only men that are endued with Wisdom and Gifts to govern the People and to teach the People the way to the Kingdom of Heaven which Kingdom of Heaven signifieth in Scripture-Language Righteousness Peace and Joy in the holy Ghost Rom. 14. 17 18. For he saith Paul that in these things serveth Christ is acceptable to God and approved of Men. But what Righteousness we have had and how much Peace we have enjoyed under these Letter-learned men's government and teaching let the present Broils and Contentions that are found amongst their Followers and Scholars bear witness You may see in this 14th Verse of 2 Kings Chap. 22. The Translators of the Scriptures call it the Colledge where Huldah that holy Prophetess dwelt they to wit the Letter-learned men imagining that none can be a Prophet but those who have dwelt in their Colledges and are trained up there this Colledge they account their second part their English and Grammer Schools

and fighting among themselves again contending for the true Christ when neither of them has him revealed as appears by their Fruits Now when Elisha the man of God heard that the King had rent his Clothes that he sent to the King saying Wherefore hast thou rent thy Clothes let him come now to me and he shall know that there is a Prophet in Israel O that all Kings and Rulers were turned to the true Prophet Christ Jesus to the true Light in themselves and would direct all their People to him then their Rents and Divisions would quickly come to an end for he is the Healer of the Breaches and he is the Prince of Peace all his subjects are peaceable their Song is Glory to God in the Highest and on Earth Peace and good Will towards men Now when Naaman was come to the Prophet he directed him to wash in Jordan seven times and be clean but Naaman was wroth because the manner of his Cure came not according to what he had imagined to himself as you may read in the 11 12 verses of that chapter but his Servants gave him good counsel So you may see that it is good for great Men to have good Servants that may give good counsel in the time of need and pacifie wrath in time of Anger and it is good for Masters to take Advice from honest faithful Servants for if Naaman h●d gone away in his wrath and not taken his Servants counsel to obey the Prophet his L●prosie had remained with him and he had not been cured There one thing more that I cannot let pass before I proceed to another place and that is concerning the Covetousness of Gehazi We see that the Prophet of the Lord Elisha would receive none of Naaman's gifts and although he urged him yet he refused Here is a true mark of a Prophet of the Lord and of a Disciple of Jesus Christ freely they receive from the Lord and freely they give to the People they covet no man's Gold Silver nor Apparel Honest Paul who was a faithful Minister and Apostle of Jesus Christ was such an one as is witnessed Matth. 10. 7 8. As ye go Preach saying The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand heal the Sick cleanse the Lepers raise the Dead cast out Devils freely ye have received freely give Also read Acts 20. 34 35. 1 Cor. 4. 11 12. 2 Thes 3. 8. But Gehazi received them and run after Naaman with a Lye in his Mouth to get the Silver and to get the Garments as too to many this day run after the great Men and great Women of the Nations with a Lye in their Mouth coveting the Gold and the Silver and the Apparel But what should I say more the Leprosie of Naaman did cleave unto Gehazi and the Leprosie of Gehazi doth cleave to his Seed forever according to the Prophets words And now the Gehazians have lost the knowledge of the true Prophet and they have lost the knowledge of spiritual Jordan and therefore their Leprosie remains their Sin remains their Defilements remain and they have now lost hope of ever being cleansed on this side of the Grave and preach this for Doctrine to the People And they are very angry with any that speak of a possibility of being made clean For a Body of Death and Sin say they will remain and Imperfection will remain while we are on this side of the Grave But what have I to do with them or what should I say more of them for the Day breaketh and the Light ariseth wherein they shall be made manifest to all that will but open their Eyes to see them and they that will not must continue in blindness and at present I will leave them with that saying of Christ Matth. 15. 14. Let them alone they be blind Leaders of the Blind c. And now to our purpose in hand Phlip the Evangelist had four Daughters Virgins which did Prophesie as you may read Acts 21. 8 9. And Paul and others of the Disciples tarried many dayes in Philip's House and yet we do not read that Paul reproved them for prophecying So here you may see that in those dayes there was Daughters that had the Spirit of Prophesie and did Prophesie And also we read Acts 18. 26. That not only Aquila but also Priscilla his Wife were Expounders of the Way of God and Aquila was a Trades-man and Tent-maker and Paul was of the same Craft And we read in Phil 4. 3. That there were Women which laboured with Paul in the Gospel And so you may see that there were Women-labourers in the Gospel as well as Men and yet we read not that Paul rejected their labour because they were Women And so you see there were Women-Prophetesses Women-Expounders and Women-Labourers and yet not rejected nor reproved by any of the Apostles that I read of And Paul desires Titus to speak the things which become sound Doctrine that the aged Men be sober c. and that the aged Women likewise be in Behaviour as becometh Holiness or holy Women not false Accusers not given to much Wine teachers of good things that they may teach the younger Women to be sober c. read Tit. 2. throughout and there you will see that Paul alloweth Women to be teachers of good things as well as Men and that Spirit is judged that would hinder what God aloweth or stop that mouth which God opens And if Women did not meet together how could the Elder teach the Younger Or it may be queried If their teaching the younger Women be not most proper comly and effectual in a Meeting apart from the Men But it clearly may be seen that God alloweth Women to labour in the Gospel and to teach good things and he hath promised to pour out his Spirit upon the Women as well as the Men and they are to meet often together and to speak often one to another and to wait upon God together and think upon his Name together and praise his Power together and call upon his Name together as well as the Men and the elder in the Truth to teach the younger in the Truth Obj. But some may say Seeing it is so clear from the Scriptures of Truth that there hath been Women labourers in the Work of the Gospel and Women-Prophetesses and Women-Expounders of the Way of God and that it is commanded the Elder Women to teach the Younger c. How shall I know what Women those are that Paul forbids to speak in the Church Answ All Women that are apt to usurp Authority over their Husbands all Women that are under the Law and that have not learned true subjection and every Woman that hearkens to the Voice of the Serpent and is deceived by him as Eve was while they continue in that state cannot nor may not be permitted to speak in the Church of God And all the Jezebelians who paint their Faces and tire their Heads and persecute the Prophets of
