A93687	A spirit moving in the vvomen-preachers: or, Certaine quæres, vented and put forth unto this affronted, brazen-faced, strange, new feminine brood. Wherein they are proved to be rash, ignorant, ambitious, weake, vaine-glorious, prophane and proud, moved onely by the spirit of errour.		1646 (1646)	Wing S4990; Thomason E324_10; ESTC R200613	7,121	11

wholsome words even the words of our Lord Jesus Christ which are according to godlinesse be not as is there shewed of that prophane rude number reckoned up 1 Tim. 6.3 4. Proud knowing nothing but doating about questions and strifes of Words whereof cometh envie strife railings evill surmisings perverse disputings of men corrupt and destitute of the truth supposing that gaine is godlinesse from such withdraw your selves being silly women ever learning and yet never learned nor able to come unto the knowledge of the Truth 1 Tim. 3.6 7. Objection But all the Rabble of Separatists those and all others have this shield and buckler wherewith they shroud themselves in all their undertakings That they only act as the Spirit moves them Answer A false and grosly ignorant Objection a grand untruth and imputation put upon the blessed Spirit of Truth who leade men into all Truth and countenances no grosse errours of Schismes or errours in any But to answer them 1 Ingenerall and then in particular Certaine it is that as truly might that grand Impostour Mahomet that counterfeit Christ Hacket executed in Queene Elizabeths time that blasphemous Butcher John of Leyden who proclaimed himselfe King of Righteousnesse pleading Revelations Raptures and Enthusiasmes of the Spirits motions for all they did or said plead the Spirits Authoritie and Revelations as these our shallow weak ignorant preaching Sisters may and all alike For if this grand Imposture might passe currant that men might impute all their grosse dreames and fooleries on the Spirits Revelations what grosse impieties and enormities might they not father on the Spirits Revelations In infinitum And so abuse the Spirit the world and themselves under a pretended shew of holinesse and voluntarie counterfeit humilitie without any warrant from the Word the rules whereof must be our warrant in all our actions without which the Spirit moves not at all but as he witnesseth unto the Truth of the Word revealed Thus much in generall But more particularly a little to assault and batter this their Fort-Royall let us survey three things touching the Spirit which will cleare the point I suppose 1 Let us survey briefly The Spirits motions under the Law before Christs Incarnation 2 The Spirits mission and offices assigned him by Christ at his mission from the Father and the Son 3 The Spirits limitations by Christ at his mission and sending And so we will conclude this short discourse First for the Spirits motions under the Law before Christs Incarnation wee read of divers motions of the Spirit First that in the Creation The Spirit of God moved upon the waters Genes 1.2 Then we read of divers other motions of the Spirit In Joshuah full thereof Deut. 34.9 In Iephthah Iudg. 11.29 His moving in David 1 Sam. 16.13 In Saul 1 Sam. 10.10 On Eliah running before Ahab unto the entrance of Iezreel 1 King 18.16 The spirit of the Lord falling on Ezekiel Ezek. 11.5 And in an extraordinarie case we read of two women Prophetesses Deborah who judged Israel Iudg. 4 4. and of Huldah the Prophetesse 2 King 22.14 From which two particular dispensations for that time to two women can be no generall deducted for these women-Preachers against the warrant and rules of the word of God as hath been shewed And we read also of another motion of the Spirit Isa 30.21 In a voyce behind us saying This is the way walk in it c. which can be no warrant for these foresaid women to preach for there the Spirits directions for our walking is in the Way of Holinesse and Divine Rules not into Schismes Rents Deviations Divisions and Errours contrarie unto the expresse Rules of the Word and so I have done with the first thing The Spirits motions before Christs Incarnation From whence they can deduct no warrant or example for their preaching The second thing is The Spirits mission by Christ with the Offices assigned unto him by Christ For his Mission Hee is sent by the Father in Christs Name a Spirit of Truth whom all in the world cannot receive Joh. 14.17 whose Offices are to comfort us to dwell and be in us to teach us all things to bring unto our remembrance all things taught us by Christ Joh. 14.26 to testifie of Christ Joh. 15.26 to guide and lead us in all truth Joh. 16.13 to shew us things to come Joh. 16.14 and to convince the World of Sin of Righteousnesse and of Judgement From all which there can be no warrant drawne for his moving of women to preach for his motions are according unto the doctrine of Christ and the Apostles from the Spirit of Christ who teach us no such Doctrine but quite contrarie as hath been shewed For this Blessed Spirit of Christ is still the same which is said to be A Spirit of Wisdoms and understanding the Spirit of counsell and might the Spirit of knowledge and of the feare of the Lord Isa 11.2 A Spirit as is shewed leading us into the practice of all known and revealed Truths from Christ not the dreames errours fables and pretended raptures of these silly abused Sectaries The last thing is The Spirits limitations by Christ 1 Negative 2 Affirmative 1 Negative For he shall not speake of himselfe 2 Affirmative but Whatsoever he shall heare that he shall speake and he will shew you things to come hee shall glorifie me for he shall receive of mine and shall shew it unto you Intimating that if the Spirit should guide and lead us other wayes than in the truths and rules received by Christ in the Word the testimony of such a spirit were not to be beleeved neither led us in the right way which should not this way glorifie Christ By all which we may gather that these poore silly women transgressing as is shewed against the rules of the word delivered by the Spirit of Christ in the Apostle which he affirmeth to be the Commandements of the Lord 1 Cor. 14.37 are ignorant and like to remaine in ignorance 1 Cor. 14.38 led by the spirit of errour in all their vain-glorious rash impudencies whose Syren enchanting songs are carefully to be avoyded of all following the Apostles rule Rom. 15.17 18. Now I beseech you brethren mark them that cause divisions and offences contrarie to the doctrine which yee have learned and avoyd them For they that are such serve not our Lord Jesus Christ but their owne belly and by good Words and faire speeches deceive the hearts of the simple For when such like false Intruders took upon them to be Exorists and to conjure evill spirits in the name of the Lord Jesus the Devill himselfe refused to owne or know such ACTS XIX XV. Jesus I know and Paul I know but who are yee FINIS
