here_o prophesy_v with_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o propher_n as_o saul_n himself_o do_v there_o and_o their_o prophesy_a must_v needs_o have_v reference_n to_o the_o prophesy_v of_o the_o propher_n for_o so_o the_o word_n imply_v that_o when_o these_o messenger_n come_v and_o say_v the_o college_n or_o company_n of_o the_o prophet_n then_o say_v the_o text_n they_o also_o prophesy_v and_o so_o also_o in_o the_o same_o manner_n do_v saul_n himself_o prophesic_n now_o what_o this_o pprophecy_n be_v be_v express_v in_o 1_o sam._n 10.6_o as_o before_o be_v declare_v it_o consist_v in_o sound_v

who_o saul_n now_o have_v a_o intent_n to_o have_v slay_v as_o appear_v by_o the_o whole_a chapter_n saul_n send_v his_o messenger_n and_o go_v himself_o yet_o all_o can_v not_o do_v nor_o bring_v to_o a_o full_a period_n his_o wicked_a design_n against_o david_n the_o like_a example_n we_o have_v in_o 2_o king_n 1._o of_o those_o two_o captain_n and_o their_o fifty_n that_o come_v to_o apprehend_v the_o prophet_n eliah_n these_o man_n think_v to_o bring_v the_o prophet_n to_o king_n ahaziah_n their_o end_n be_v frustrate_v and_o they_o themselves_o be_v consume_v with_o fire_n from_o heaven_n wherein_o the_o power_n &_o mercy_n of_o god_n be_v also_o manifest_v towards_o eliah_n so_o that_o it_o appear_v here_o it_o be_v the_o wonderful_a mercy_n of_o god_n to_o david_n to_o deliver_v he_o from_o the_o hand_n of_o saul_n &_o his_o messenger_n the_o opportunity_n be_v so_o that_o notwithstanding_o saul_n send_v time_n after_o time_n vet_z god_n so_o order_v the_o

be_v example_n therein_o to_o posterity_n but_o only_o that_o god_n may_v deliver_v david_n from_o the_o hand_n of_o saul_n nay_o saul_n himself_o who_o like_o herod_n after_o he_o have_v send_v forth_o the_o wise_a man_n to_o discover_v christ_n but_o come_v not_o again_o be_v now_o as_o much_o in_o his_o bedlam_n mood_n as_o saul_n be_v at_o this_o time_n who_o go_v himself_o to_o ramah_n and_o the_o spirit_n of_o the_o lord_n come_v upon_o he_o and_o he_o prophesy_v and_o rend_v his_o clothes_n as_o a_o infallible_a testimony_n of_o a_o convict_a conscience_n for_o pursue_v so_o innocent_a a_o man_n as_o david_n be_v a_o excellent_a example_n we_o have_v to_o this_o purpose_n in_o the_o 7._o of_o john_n 46._o of_o the_o pharisee_n who_o send_v their_o messenger_n to_o setch_n christ_n before_o they_o but_o contrary_a to_o their_o expectation_n that_o in_o stead_n of_o these_o man_n intend_a fact_n of_o take_v christ_n christ_n take_v they_o and_o as_o they_o come_v to_o apprehend_v christ_n as_o saul_n messenger_n do_v david_n they_o be_v so_o wrought_v upon_o by_o his_o powerful_a speech_n that_o in_o the_o 46._o verse_n they_o cry_v out_o that_o never_o man_n speak_v like_o this_o man_n and_o you_o may_v better_o conclude_v that_o these_o servant_n of_o the_o pharisee_n be_v preacher_n than_o saul_n messenger_n and_o the_o reason_n be_v strong_a in_o they_o then_o in_o the_o other_o for_o saul_n messenger_n prophesy_v among_o the_o prophet_n when_o there_o be_v not_o such_o need_n but_o only_o here_o that_o the_o work_n of_o god_n may_v be_v make_v manifest_a turn_v that_o into_o good_a which_o these_o man_n intend_v for_o evil_a and_o never_o return_v again_o to_o give_v saul_n account_v of_o his_o message_n but_o here_o these_o man_n that_o come_v to_o christ_n have_v their_o eye_n open_v and_o have_v some_o smattering_n of_o illumination_n that_o he_o be_v christ_n and_o do_v also_o return_v to_o the_o pharisee_n again_o declare_v christ_n say_n never_o man_n speak_v like_o this_o man_n these_o man_n have_v be_v better_a precedent_n for_o you_o to_o have_v prove_v the_o point_n all_o the_o marrow_n of_o the_o business_n i_o see_v lie_n in_o this_o one_o word_n prophecy_n which_o if_o you_o be_v at_o a_o dead_a lift_n as_o here_o you_o be_v can_v never_o help_v you_o consider_v its_o divers_a acceptarion_n as_o for_o that_o you_o say_v afterward_o that_o these_o man_n be_v no_o way_n extraordinary_a for_o so_o your_o word_n imply_v they_o have_v no_o extraordinary_a spirit_n ergo_fw-la be_v not_o extraordinary_a here_o you_o show_v yourself_o either_o very_a ignorant_a in_o the_o scripture_n or_o else_o your_o writing_n at_o this_o time_n be_v very_o rash_a and_o inconsiderate_a siderate_a and_o because_o i_o have_v here_o just_a occasion_n to_o speak_v of_o that_o i_o mention_v before_o let_v i_o ask_v you_o this_o question_n if_o nothing_o be_v extraordinary_a but_o the_o pen_n of_o scripture_n and_o the_o work_n of_o miracle_n quest_n how_o shall_v we_o dispure_v against_o the_o hierarchy_n to_o prove_v that_o timothy_n and_o titus_n be_v extraordinary_a officer_n by_o those_o office_n and_o act_n which_o they_o do_v if_o nothing_o be_v extraordinary_a but_o what_o you_o say_v for_o you_o affirm_v when_o it_o be_v object_v that_o these_o man_n have_v extraordinary_a spirit_n that_o none_o have_v extraordinary_a spirit_n but_o they_o that_o pen_v the_o scripture_n or_o wrought_v miracle_n imply_v that_o because_o they_o have_v not_o exeraordinary_a spirit_n in_o perm_v scripture_n or_o work_a miracle_n therefore_o they_o be_v not_o extraordinary_a and_o so_o you_o have_v with_o one_o puss_n take_v away_o all_o the_o strength_n of_o the_o annepiscopall_a pa●●●e_n and_o give_v occasion_n to_o they_o to_o triumph_v in_o the_o discord_n which_o they_o malicious_o attribute_v to_o our_o divince_n for_o my_o part_n i_o leave_v you_o either_o to_o clear_v your_o self_n or_o else_o to_o acknowledge_v your_o error_n for_o it_o be_v mamfe_v abroad_o in_o the_o world_n that_o by_o reason_n of_o the_o ill_a unadvised_a rash_a inconsiderate_a impertinent_a famphlet_n that_o be_v now_o extant_a set_v some_o aside_o the_o adversary_n of_o a_o through_o reformation_n do_v not_o stick_v to_o say_v in_o their_o bediam_fw-la fit_n that_o all_o dissension_n about_o the_o church_n be_v set_v on_o foot_n by_o the_o occasion_n of_o our_o best_a and_o sincere_a divine_n to_o the_o next_o you_o say_v that_o such_o a_o spirit_n as_o this_o be_v promise_v to_o all_o god_n people_n it_o be_v most_o true_a that_o god_n have_v promise_v to_o his_o people_n a_o spirit_n of_o prophecy_n but_o now_o all_o the_o question_n be_v what_o this_o kind_n of_o prophesy_v be_v because_o it_o serve_v much_o for_o the_o illustration_n of_o this_o point_n and_o the_o open_n of_o this_o text_n there_o be_v then_o divers_a acceptation_n of_o the_o word_n prophesy_v in_o
