TIMOTHIE 1 Tim. 2.8 I Will that males pray every where 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 The emphasis is not in the word every where as if the Apostle should bind or permit men to pray in all places albeit that is true also for then the duty should lie upon women aswell as upon men but the meaning is that males and not females should lead the prayer wheresoever prayer shall be made aswell in family as in Church Paul had declared before that in the Church none but males should solemnly prophesie ●e pray But now he further maketh known that in the family women must neither pray nor teach that is not solemnly lead or utter the prayer or doctrine whilest a man in presence is silent Where note that Apostle taketh for granted that Christians will pray and teach in their families An answer to them who require a warrant for family-prayer 1 Tim. 2.15 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 Shee shall be saved through childe-bearing That is the pains and perill and child-birth is so great that she is hardly saved through that pains though shee be never so modest Christian and godly And seeing so great pains are laid upon her in childbearing Shee ought therefore amongst other reasons to be in silence S●rrowes are signes of sinne and must respectively be grounds of humiliation in both sexes The word saved implyeth a narrow escape of death or danger so that these words are a third reason of the former silence commanded 1 Tim. 4.5 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 By the word of God and prayer The word of God commandeth former differences of meats to be nullified So the word maketh meats which were to the Jewes unlawfull now to be holy that is to be lawfull to Jewes and Gentiles Thus the word sanctifieth meats that is Gods ordination sanctifieth them As for prayer that sanctifieth on our part viz. when that which God hath decreed lawfull we receive with an holy fear thankfulnesse and supplication accompanied with faith that it shall be sanctified Prayer implyeth all the worship of God and covenant with God Lawfull meats are sanctified to none but to the holy none are holy but those which pray no prayer is accounted for prayer but that which it made by such as are in covenant with God though Christ 1 Tim. 2.9 The Lord knoweth who are his That is the Lord will know who are his before they shall come to be called by his name Christians which is done when they enter into that visible audible covenant with him by attestate profession I will goe downe now and know whether it be altogether according to the cry which I have heard and if not I will know Gen. 17.21 That is I will evidence it to Sodom's and all other mens knowledge Genes 22.12 God is not said to know till men know Now I know that thou lovest mee sith thou hast not with-held thine onely son from mee God the foreknower of all things knew whether Abraham loved him or no before Abraham sacrificed his son but hee doth not seem to know or take knowledge untill Abraham evidence it by obedience And Depart from mee ye workers of iniquity I know you not It is not for nothing that God sends us back to our brother to be reconciled when we bring our gift to the altar before our gift shall be accepted of him That what the Church bindeth on earth is bound of him in heaven and what the Church looseth on earth is loosed of him in heaven That Whose sins they remit they are remitted and whose sins they retain they are retained To whom they forgive any thing he forgiveth also Hence in the old Testament The Lord God of gods must know and Israel also hee shall know Josh 22.22 It is the speech of Reuben and Gad to their brethren of the other tribes which came to expostulate with them about an altar which Reuben and Gad had made 1 Tim. 5.23 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 Vse a little wine That is but a little wine Wee sold the land for
