seed said he was come to preach deliverance to the captive and to heal the broken hearted and to seek that which was lost and to bring again that which was driven away and this was his work to redeem to man that which man had lost Now consider what man hath lost and I shall leave this as Querie with all both Priests and People who deny perfection from sin here whether Christ is but a part of Redeemer or a perfect and full Redeemer and which is the place betwixt Heaven and Earth where man shall be made free or cleansed from sin if not upon the Earth seeing that no unholy nor unclean thing can enter the Kingdom of God But who can witness this hath passed through death and that hath none who plead for sin neither can they witnesse Christ come but for some simple ones sake I shall speak more clearly of this for it is a great delusion of the Devil to keep people in sin to tell them they shall never be made free from sin so long as they are upon the Earth and brings this Scripture to maintaine it He that saith he hath no sin deceiveth himselfe and is a lyar but he tells them Christ dyed for all and if they can but lay hold on him by Faith he will not impute their sins unto them though they sin dayly for the righteous man sins seven times a day and all the holy men of God sinned and so he takes Scripture to maintain his kingdome and this he delivers by the mouth of his Ministers which he sends abroad to deceive the Nations leading people in blindnesse full of sin and corruption ever learning and never comes to the knowledge of the Truth nor never shall doe for them and here he carries them on an easie delight some way to the flesh but the end is death and so heals them up in their sin with a feigned formed faith which perisheth and here they settle upon the Lees and set up a rest in the Devils kingdom which is sin and here many are meerly blinded and hardened and all tendernesse of conscience is done away But you shall finde that he that sooths you up in this Faith is the greatest enemy of your souls and whosoever witnesseth Christ their Redeemer shall witnesse that he is come to destroy the works of the Devil which is sin and to redeem out of the fall out of sin and out of the Devils kingdome which is sin and all sins in the Devils Kingdome which is in the fall but for this end Christ is manifested to destroy the works of the Devil and to redeem out of the fall out of the Devils Kingdome into his own Kingdome and no unclean thing can enter therein Rev. 21.27 but none can witness this Redemption but through the death and through the Cross which Paul rejoyced in by which he was crucified to the World and the World to him Rom. 6.6 and had put off the body of sin and was mad● free from the Law of sin which once warred against his mind which once he complained of which Scripture the unlearned which are strangers from his conditions who reads them with the carnal eye now wrest them to their own destruction J. Parnel Concerning Womens Speaking in the Church WHat Woman is it that is not permitted to Speak in in the Church Is it she that is come to have Christ Head in her or is it she that is not come that length but is learning and so is to learn in silence Or may not Christ speak through the Woman when he is Head over all if not then why did Paul that said I suffer not a Woman to speak in the Church allow of Women as his Fellow-Labourers and Helpers in the Gospel it appears that she was on her travel and he commended her to the Church What did they travel about or help him in what was that labour and help Rom. 16.1 2.3 Why did Paul suffer Phillips Daughters to Prophesie were not they Prophetesses and had not they the Spirit of Prophesie And wherefore is the Spirit of Prophesie given but to edefie the Church It is commended by Paul above many other gifts see 1 Cor. 14.1 Follow after Charity and desire after Spiritual gifts but rather that ye may Prophesie And see the 3d. verse But he that Prophesieth speaketh unto men to Edification to Exhortation and Comfort Now seeing he that Prophesieth hath the Spirit of Prophesie and seeing it is through the Spirit of Prophesie that he speaketh to Man to Edification Exhortation and Comfort Why may not the same Spirit of Prophesie being head in the Woman as in Philips Daughters seeing Women are made Prophetesses thereby I say why may not the same Spirit of Prophesie put forth the Female to speak to Men to Edification Exhortation and Comfort Or else were not the gift received in vain if it were not to be used and if it be to be used Then must it not be for the service of the Church for Edification Exhortation and Comfort Is not the Widdow without an Husband was not Israel that went from her Spiritual Husband called an Harlot or a Whorish Woman And were not there many Males and Females to make up this Woman that had forsaken her Husband Is not Christ the Husband Is not his Church the Spouse of Christ Is not he as well the Husband of the Males as of the Females and of the Females as of the Males And are not the Priests and Bishops of that Whorish Woman that is gon● from the Husband Christ who are to be silent And also the Woman that is in the Church which may be said to be in the Church and yet but in learning and is not learned she is not fit to teach but is to be silent and learn in silence until she be learned and then Christ the Husband in the Male and Female the Head in the Male and Female is one and it is he the One in all both in the Male and Female that speakes and the Male as well as the Female is that Woman that is not to speak who hath not learned Christ and is not made subject to him but such who have learned him whether Male or Female he may speak in them and then it is not the Woman but CHRIST the Man that speaketh in the Male and in the Female And whoso denies this disprove it if he can And what will ye do with that in Joel 2.28 If you will not suffer Christ to speak in the Females then you will contradict Joel's Prophesie and so will judge him a lying Prophet who spake in the Name of the Lord saying I will pour out my Spirit upon all flesh yea it is said that Daughters shall Prophesie as well as Sons no distinction made Vpon the Hand-maids in those dayes will I pour out my Spirit and when was this fulfilled if it was not among the Apostles If Paul had stopt Women and Maids that had
