A79512	Preaching vvithout ordination or, A treatise proving the lawfulnesse of all persons, of what degree, ranke, or trade soever, being inabled with sufficient guifts and qualifications from God by his spirit, to preach and set forth the Gospel, though no minister nor any other officer in the church of God.

to_o affirm_v be_v very_o absurd_a and_o than_o for_o these_o reason_n because_o it_o be_v never_o hear_v of_o nor_o in_o all_o the_o write_a word_n of_o god_n hint_v at_o especial_o concern_v this_o church_n of_o the_o corinth_n that_o the_o whole_a body_n of_o they_o be_v extraordinary_o guift_v 2._o because_o the_o apostle_n do_v restrain_v woman_n from_o preach_v or_o other_o speak_v in_o

of_o jesus_n christ_n for_o woman_n that_o be_v extraordinary_o guift_v i_o affirm_v and_o the_o scripture_n cite_v with_o i_o may_v preach_v and_o do_v without_o restraint_n so_o that_o from_o

this_o ground_n that_o they_o be_v not_o officer_n ordain_v nor_o extraordinary_o guift_v because_o the_o apostle_n oppose_v woman_n to_o man_n sex_n to_o sex_n and_o not_o woman_n officer_n or_o extraordinary_a guifted_a man_n for_o than_o i_o conceive_v the_o apostle_n will_v nor_o have_v aid_n let_v your_o woman_n keep_v silence_n in_o the_o church_n for_o it_o be_v not_o permit_v for_o they_o to_o speak_v but_o the_o apostle_n will_v have_v aid_n let_v your_o woman_n keep_v silence_n in_o the_o church_n because_o they_o be_v no_o officer_n nor_o have_v any_o ordination_n not_o any_o extraordinary_a gift_n therefore_o they_o be_v to_o be_v silent_a in_o the_o church_n but_o he_o say_v it_o be_v not_o permit_v for_o they_o to_o speak_v not_o out_o of_o any_o such_o consideration_n as_o before_o mind_a but_o because_o of_o the_o command_n of_o god_n they_o be_v to_o be_v under_o obedience_n and_o to_o learn_v in_o silence_n for_o it_o be_v a_o shame_n for_o woman_n to_o speak_v in_o the_o church_n 3._o because_o the_o apostle_n exhort_v that_o the_o church_n shall_v judge_v of_o the_o doctrine_n that_o these_o prophet_n or_o preacher_n shall_v teach_v as_o appear_v by_o

extraordinary_a can_v or_o may_v err_v be_v to_o weaken_v and_o shake_v great_o the_o ground_n and_o pillar_n of_o our_o faith_n and_o if_o they_o may_v err_v than_o the_o apostle_n and_o if_o in_o

whereunto_o we_o do_v well_o to_o take_v heed_n and_o diligent_o to_o mark_v and_o study_v and_o upon_o this_o sure_a word_n we_o know_v be_v our_o faith_n build_v even_o of_o the_o prophet_n and_o

of_o the_o son_n of_o man_n therefore_o these_o prophet_n here_o speak_v of_o be_v not_o extraordinary_a but_o ordinary_a by_o reason_n the_o apostle_n command_v the_o rest_n of_o the_o church_n to_o judge_v and_o try_v their_o doctrine_n again_o the_o apostle_n say_v in_o the_o 37_o and_o 38_o verse_n that_o if_o any_o man_n think_v himself_o a_o prophet_n or_o spiritual_a let_v he_o

that_o they_o be_v but_o ordinary_a prophet_n or_o preacher_n and_o have_v no_o other_o than_o ordinary_a gift_n and_o endowment_n for_o can_v they_o be_v thi●s_o infallible_o guide_v by_o the_o

of_o the_o doctrine_n and_o command_n of_o christ_n therefore_o it_o be_v most_o apparent_a and_o plain_a that_o they_o be_v but_o ordinary_a preacher_n and_o preach_v by_o a_o ordinary_a gift_n such_o as_o be_v common_a by_o the_o promise_n of_o god_n to_o be_v pour_v forth_o upon_o all_o flesh_n and_o hence_o be_v it_o that_o the_o apostle_n in_o the_o close_a of_o all_o exhort_v they_o to_o the_o use_n and_o study_v of_o this_o preach_n and_o declare_v of_o jesus_n christ_n as_o appear_v in_o the_o 39_o verse_n in_o these_o word_n wherefore_o brethren_n covet_v to_o prophesy_v or_o

the_o ability_n that_o god_n give_v so_o that_o by_o this_o it_o be_v clear_a the_o apostle_n have_v some_o thing_n else_o in_o hand_n beside_o hospitality_n to_o w●●_n preach_v and_o declare_v the_o

even_o such_o man_n mutual_o together_o in_o the_o bond_n of_o love_n communicate_v this_o their_o gift_n as_o good_a and_o faithful_a steward_n of_o the_o manifold_a grace_n of_o god_n 3.14_o
