Hall are here answered likewise / written by Tho. Collier ; to which is added A word of reply to Tho. Halls word to Collier and another to John Feriby's [ap]pendix called The pulpit-guard relieved ; with An answer to Richard Sanders's pretended Balm to heal religious wounds, in answer to The pulpit-guard routed : with an humble representation of some few proposals to the honorable committee appointed by the Parliament for propagation of the Gospel.

in_o the_o old_a testament_n and_o sometime_o so_o take_v in_o the_o new_a testament_n therefore_o to_o conclude_v they_o be_v always_o so_o take_v be_v a_o non_fw-la sequitur_fw-la and_o there_o be_v no_o ground_n for_o it_o no_o more_o than_o because_o in_o the_o old_a testament_n all_o be_v circumcise_v in_o the_o new_a testament_n some_o be_v circumcise_v therefore_o all_o must_v be_v circumcise_v 2._o usual_o these_o extraordinary_a prophet_n as_o you_o call_v they_o have_v their_o prophecy_n write_v and_o they_o be_v keep_v upon_o record_n for_o aftertime_n but_o among_o so_o many_o prophet_n in_o every_o church_n none_o of_o their_o prophecy_n be_v record_v therefore_o no_o extraordinary_a prophet_n and_o further_o that_o they_o be_v not_o extraordinary_a be_v clear_a in_o that_o their_o doctrine_n be_v to_o be_v try_v by_o the_o church_n or_o at_o least_o by_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o prophet_n and_o this_o you_o never_o find_v do_v by_o any_o of_o the_o extraordinary_a prophet_n and_o last_o if_o they_o have_v be_v extraordinary_a they_o can_v rather_o have_v direct_v the_o apostle_n than_o the_o apostle_n shall_v have_v direct_v they_o as_o act._n 21._o 11._o which_o argument_n be_v urge_v in_o the_o pulpit-guard_n rout_v but_o you_o be_v so_o wise_a it_o seem_v as_o to_o take_v no_o notice_n of_o they_o i_o may_v add_v to_o all_o the_o rest_n that_o the_o extraordinary_a prophecy_n be_v such_o a_o immediate_a revelation_n and_o inspiration_n as_o that_o when_o it_o come_v they_o can_v not_o but_o prophesy_v this_o be_v such_o a_o pprophecy_n as_o they_o have_v first_o need_n to_o be_v exhort_v to_o it_o and_o second_o be_v bid_v to_o desire_v it_o and_o three_o have_v need_v to_o be_v inform_v of_o their_o liberty_n and_o fourthly_a to_o be_v direct_v unto_o the_o right_a manner_n of_o the_o perform_n of_o it_o 1_o cor._n 14_o 1_o 2._o &_o 31._o &_o 29._o 30._o therefore_o no_o extraordinary_a but_o ordinary_a prophet_n these_o thing_n thus_o consider_v i_o question_v not_o but_o that_o it_o sufficient_o make_v null_a your_o second_o reason_n your_o three_o argument_n be_v that_o the_o gift_n or_o spirit_n of_o prophecy_n give_v out_o to_o the_o new_a testament_n prophet_n be_v the_o fulfil_n of_o the_o promise_n joel_n 2._o 28._o therefore_o extraordinary_a ans_fw-fr grant_v that_o it_o be_v the_o same_o spirit_n and_o fulfil_v of_o the_o same_o promise_n yet_o not_o the_o same_o extraordinary_a gift_n if_o no_o prophet_n but_o those_o who_o have_v extraordinary_a gift_n than_o no_o pastor_n and_o teacher_n for_o than_o they_o have_v extraordinary_a gift_n and_o upon_o the_o same_o account_n those_o who_o have_v not_o the_o like_a gift_n be_v not_o pastor_n and_o teacher_n upon_o the_o same_o account_v no_o believer_n mar._n 16._o 17._o these_o sign_n shall_v follow_v they_o that_o believe_v etc._n etc._n so_o that_o upon_o this_o account_n you_o will_v reason_n out_o all_o religion_n and_o christianity_n out_o of_o the_o world_n therefore_o second_o they_o have_v the_o spirit_n or_o the_o gift_n and_o operation_n of_o the_o spirit_n may_v in_o their_o prophecy_n be_v above_o we_o yet_o according_a to_o the_o measure_n receive_v we_o may_v nay_o oughts_z viz._n the_o prophet_n to_o speak_v in_o the_o church_n etc._n etc._n or_o else_o that_o pprophecy_n joel_n 2._o 28._o have_v nothing_o to_o do_v with_o we_o nor_o we_o with_o it_o we_o be_v not_o under_o that_o promise_n so_o all_o the_o promise_n be_v not_o in_o christ_n yea_o and_o amen_o to_o we_o and_o how_o dare_v you_o to_o make_v null_a the_o great_a gospel_n prophesy_v and_o promise_n nay_o the_o great_a and_o bless_a promise_n of_o christ_n at_o his_o departure_n from_o his_o disciple_n joh._n 14._o 16._o viz._n of_o the_o spirit_n your_o four_o argument_n be_v because_o prophecy_n be_v set_v down_o distinct_a from_o ordinary_a teach_v rom._n 12._o 6._o a_o little_a to_o discover_v the_o strength_n of_o this_o argument_n i_o reason_v thus_o exhortation_n in_o the_o same_o place_n be_v set_v down_o distinct_a from_o teach_v therefore_o it_o be_v extraordinary_a exhortation_n therefore_o i_o have_v in_o the_o pulpit_n guard_v rout_v clear_o distinguish_v between_o gift_n and_o office_n and_o if_o the_o lord_n enlighten_v we_o in_o these_o that_o we_o can_v but_o distinguish_v we_o shall_v not_o thus_o confound_v one_o thing_n with_o another_o and_o turn_v out_o some_o truth_n to_o retain_v other_o but_o every_o truth_n will_v stand_v in_o its_o place_n and_o so_o there_o will_v be_v a_o sweet_a harmony_n as_o in_o scripture_n so_o in_o the_o church_n of_o christ_n your_o five_o argument_n be_v because_o the_o gift_n of_o prophecy_n be_v give_v to_o other_o beside_o saint_n this_o be_v learned_a logic_n indeed_o because_o wicked_a man_n have_v the_o use_n of_o the_o thing_n of_o the_o world_n therefore_o it_o be_v not_o proper_a to_o all_o the_o saint_n to_o have_v the_o use_n of_o the_o thing_n of_o the_o world_n because_o wicked_a man_n may_v have_v the_o spirit_n of_o prophecy_n therefore_o it_o be_v not_o proper_a to_o the_o saint_n to_o have_v it_o let_v the_o reader_n judge_v of_o this_o logic_n or_o else_o because_o wicked_a man_n may_v have_v a_o form_n of_o godliness_n deny_v the_o power_n therefore_o it_o be_v not_o proper_a to_o all_o the_o saint_n to_o have_v the_o form_n of_o godliness_n this_o argument_n i_o leave_v to_o the_o reader_n and_o follow_v you_o to_o your_o other_o additional_a argument_n 1._o because_o god_n have_v not_o appoint_v all_o gift_a brethren_n to_o live_v of_o the_o gospel_n therefore_o they_o be_v not_o to_o preach_v the_o gospel_n the_o scripture_n you_o produce_v be_v 1_o cor_fw-la 9_o 14._o ans_fw-fr this_o scripture_n be_v to_o be_v understand_v in_o way_n of_o distinction_n and_o that_o 1._o that_o they_o that_o preach_v the_o gospel_n may_v not_o that_o they_o must_v live_v of_o the_o gospel_n then_o paul_n live_v unlawful_o when_o he_o wrought_v with_o his_o hand_n act_n 18._o 3._o and_o his_o hand_n minister_v to_o his_o necessity_n and_o it_o be_v a_o more_o bless_a thing_n to_o give_v then_o to_o receive_v so_o that_o it_o be_v only_o a_o discovery_n of_o the_o mind_n of_o god_n what_o he_o that_o preach_v the_o gospel_n may_v do_v if_o he_o need_v it_o hence_o paul_n say_v he_o have_v a_o power_n not_o to_o work_v but_o to_o live_v of_o the_o gospel_n and_o he_o have_v a_o power_n to_o work_v and_o not_o to_o live_v of_o the_o gospel_n but_o it_o seem_v you_o be_v very_o loath_a to_o hear_v on_o that_o ear_n 2._o it_o intend_v that_o only_a those_o who_o be_v call_v to_o the_o office_n and_o set_v apart_o whole_o to_o that_o work_n that_o they_o shall_v if_o they_o need_v live_v of_o the_o gospel_n 1_o tim._n 5._o 17_o 18_o you_o never_o read_v that_o prophet_n be_v to_o live_v of_o the_o gospel_n so_o that_o this_o distinction_n keep_v the_o truth_n clear_a and_o dissolve_v your_o argument_n to_o nothing_o your_o second_o argument_n be_v because_o to_o preach_v public_o be_v to_o exercise_v authority_n but_o none_o may_v exercise_v authority_n but_o such_o as_o have_v ministerial_a authority_n etc._n etc._n the_o scripture_n for_o confirmation_n of_o this_o be_v 1_o tim_n 2._o 12._o where_o woman_n be_v forbid_v to_o teach_v public_o because_o they_o may_v not_o usurp_v authority_n over_o the_o man_n ans_fw-fr this_o argument_n and_o scripture_n will_v do_v you_o no_o good_a to_o that_o end_n for_o which_o you_o have_v produce_v it_o but_o clear_o contradict_v that_o you_o drive_v at_o for_o the_o apostle_n both_o in_o 1_o cor._n 4._o 34._o &_o 1_o tim._n 2._o 12._o hold_n forth_o the_o difference_n in_o general_a between_o man_n and_o woman_n in_o the_o church_n not_o between_o woman_n and_o man_n in_o office_n that_o be_v nonsense_n for_o he_o say_v 1_o cor._n 14._o 35._o if_o the_o woman_n will_v know_v any_o thing_n let_v she_o ask_v her_o husband_n at_o home_n there_o be_v no_o such_o word_n speak_v of_o the_o man_n so_o that_o man_n have_v authority_n to_o speak_v in_o the_o church_n to_o edification_n have_v the_o gift_n but_o woman_n have_v not_o that_o authority_n allow_v they_o although_o they_o have_v the_o gift_n etc._n etc._n your_o three_o argument_n if_o there_o be_v a_o power_n in_o the_o church_n to_o keep_v off_o wolf_n and_o false_a teacher_n from_o the_o sheep_n then_o all_o that_o conceive_v they_o have_v gift_n may_v not_o preach_v till_o they_o be_v approve_v etc._n etc._n ans_fw-fr it_o be_v grant_v that_o there_o be_v such_o a_o power_n in_o the_o church_n of_o christ_n and_o they_o be_v able_a to_o judge_v of_o gift_n when_o they_o hear_v whether_o it_o be_v of_o god_n or_o of_o man_n and_o they_o must_v hear_v before_o they_o can_v judge_v and_o when_o they_o hear_v and_o judge_v that_o
