with_o a_o desire_n of_o their_o visit_n hope_v for_o assistance_n to_o she_o by_o it_o after_o which_o its_o most_o probable_a that_o some_o discourse_n be_v of_o revelation_n and_o what_o god_n

may_v all_o be_v comfort_v by_o the_o growth_n and_o increase_n of_o gift_n and_o grace_n in_o

the_o church_n it_o be_v the_o spiritual_a disposition_n in_o a_o saint_n to_o rejoice_v in_o the_o increase_n that_o be_v of_o god_n though_o in_o another_o two_o objection_n be_v make_v against_o the_o premise_n 1._o object_n that_o by_o prophet_n be_v there_o mean_v only_a minister_n in_o office_n and_o that_o the_o word_n all_o have_v reference_n only_o to_o prophet_n so_o take_v to_o this_o the_o answer_n be_v three_o fold_n 1._o that_o be_v superfluous_a for_o it_o be_v never_o question_v whether_o man_n in_o official_a authority_n may_v exercise_v their_o gift_n 2._o if_o only_o those_o be_v there_o mean_v then_o of_o necessity_n there_o must_v be_v at_o least_o 5_o or_o 6_o prophet_n or_o minister_n in_o office_n in_o one_o church_n for_o the_o apostle_n speak_v of_o such_o a_o particular_a church_n as_o may_v come_v together_o the_o whole_a church_n at_o one_o time_n and_o in_o one_o place_n there_o may_v three_o speak_v and_o there_o must_v be_v other_o the_o rest_n to_o judge_v against_o which_o be_v the_o practice_n of_o the_o objection_n who_o rather_o will_v have_v one_o officer_n to_o two_o church_n speak_v at_o will_n as_o a_o infallible_a orator_n or_o divine_a oracle_n and_o none_o must_v judge_v so_o that_o if_o it_o be_v so_o they_o have_v at_o least_o change_v the_o ordinance_n etc._n etc._n 3._o the_o apostle_n lay_v down_o the_o restriction_n 34_o 35._o verse_n to_o be_v only_o of_o woman_n which_o must_v be_v in_o opposition_n to_o man_n not_o to_o prophet_n let_v your_o woman_n keep_v silence_n in_o the_o church_n for_o it_o be_v not_o permit_v unto_o they_o to_o speak_v imply_v clear_o that_o it_o be_v permit_v to_o man_n and_o no_o shame_n for_o any_o but_o woman_n to_o speak_v in_o the_o church_n 2._o second_o objection_n be_v that_o this_o will_v breed_v a_o great_a confusion_n for_o all_o to_o speak_v answ_n 1._o all_o can_v speak_v because_o all_o be_v not_o gift_v 2._o if_o all_o can_v and_o be_v so_o gift_v yet_o the_o ordinance_n of_o god_n breed_v no_o confusion_n or_o as_o the_o holy_a ghost_n answer_v the_o objection_n 32_o 33._o verse_n god_n be_v not_o the_o author_n of_o confusion_n but_o of_o peace_n as_o it_o all_o church_n of_o the_o saint_n and_o the_o spirit_n of_o the_o prophet_n be_v subject_a to_o the_o prophet_n that_o be_v i_o conceive_v one_o will_n not_o confuse_o contend_v with_o another_o but_o free_o give_v way_n to_o those_o that_o be_v most_o able_a for_o the_o church_n edification_n according_a to_o that_o rule_n in_o the_o 26._o verse_n lord_fw-mi all_o thing_n be_v do_v to_o edify_v again_o though_o all_o have_v liberty_n and_o may_v seasonable_o and_o without_o confusion_n speak_v or_o prephecie_v it_o do_v not_o therefore_o necessary_o follow_v that_o every_o member_n must_v speak_v something_o every_o time_n that_o the_o church_n it_o come_v together_o such_o a_o conceit_n be_v absurd_a all_o thing_n must_v be_v do_v to_o edification_n thus_o for_o answer_v to_o those_o two_o objection_n then_o observe_v far_o that_o in_o the_o 37._o verse_n the_o apostle_n lay_v down_o this_o only_a as_o necessary_a to_o a_o man_n that_o think_v himself_o a_o prophet_n or_o spiritual_a let_v he_o say_v he_o acknowledge_v the_o thing_n which_o i_o write_v unto_o you_o to_o be_v the_o commandment_n of_o the_o lord_n let_v he_o be_v right_o principled_a in_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o gospel_n and_o in_o the_o 39.40_o verse_n he_o conclude_v thus_o wherefore_o brethren_n covet_v to_o prophecy_n and_o forbid_v not_o to_o speak_v with_o tongue_n hinder_v not_o the_o exercise_n of_o any_o guilt_n which_o god_n have_v give_v to_o the_o church_n yet_o in_o the_o 40._o verse_n let_v all_o be_v do_v decent_o and_o in_o order_n so_o that_o all_o the_o gift_n give_v to_o the_o church_n may_v be_v use_v in_o the_o church_n without_o confusion_n the_o spirit_n of_o the_o prophet_n be_v subject_n to_o the_o prophet_n verse_n 31_o 32_o 33._o but_o if_o any_o man_n say_v he_o be_v ignorant_a let_v he_o be_v ignorant_a verse_n 28._o 2_o argument_n in_o draw_v from_o the_o example_n of_o the_o saint_n in_o scripture_n 8_o act_n 4.11_o ch_n 19.20_o 8_o chap._n ●_o verse_n note_v that_o all_o be_v featter_v except_o the_o apostle_n and_o 4_o verse_n they_o that_o be_v scatter_v go_v every_o where_o preach_v the_o word_n so_o 11_o chap_n 19_o 20._o they_o that_o be_v scatter_v upon_o the_o persecution_n that_o arise_v about_o stephen_n some_o be_v man_n of_o cyprus_n etc._n etc._n preach_v the_o lord_n jesus_n both_o to_o jew_n and_o grecian_n 21_o verse_n the_o hand_n of_o the_o lord_n be_v with_o they_o and_o a_o great_a number_n believe_v and_o turn_v unto_o the_o lord_n and_o in_o 22_o verse_n when_o tiding_n come_v to_o the_o church_n at_o jerusalem_n they_o send_v barnah_n as_o to_o assist_v they_o who_o when_o he_o be_v come_v and_o have_v see_v the_o grace_n of_o god_n be_v glad_a and_o exhort_v they_o etc._n etc._n he_o never_o question_v their_o call_n to_o it_o so_o in_o the_o 1_o phil._n 14_o 15._o paul_n speak_v of_o his_o bond_n and_o the_o thing_n happen_v to_o he_o that_o they_o be_v fall_v out_o to_o the_o suttherance_n of_o the_o gospel_n he_o say_v in_o the_o 14_o verse_n that_o many_o of_o the_o brethren_n in_o the_o lord_n which_o be_v the_o denomination_n of_o every_o member_n wane_v confident_a by_o his_o bond_n be_v much_o more_o bold_a to_o speak_v the_o word_n without_o fear_n and_o in_o 15_o 16_o 17_o 18._o some_o he_o say_v do_v preach_v christ_n out_o of_o envy_n and_o strife_n suppose_v to_o add_v affliction_n to_o his_o bond_n yet_o he_o rejoice_v that_o christ_n be_v preach_v by_o they_o though_o it_o be_v altogether_o improbable_a that_o they_o will_v ordain_v such_o to_o office_n who_o intention_n be_v to_o add_v affliction_n to_o paul_n bond_n for_o we_o find_v they_o very_o careful_a of_o ordain_v any_o that_o be_v not_o sound_o try_v and_o paul_n charge_v timothy_n to_o lay_v hand_n sudden_o on_o no_o man_n not_o do_v i_o remember_v mention_n or_o complaint_n make_v of_o any_o such_o officer_n in_o any_o of_o the_o church_n at_o that_o time_n another_o proof_n be_v in_o the_o 18_o act_n 24.5_o 6_o 7_o 8._o where_o we_o find_v that_o apollo_n be_v instruct_v only_o in_o the_o baptism_n of_o john_n therefore_o not_o in_o the_o least_o measure_n probable_a to_o be_v call_v to_o office_n in_o the_o church_n by_o any_o of_o the_o apostle_n when_o so_o ignorant_a of_o the_o way_n of_o god_n and_o the_o church_n walking_n yet_o he_o teach_v diligent_o the_o thing_n of_o the_o lord_n and_o speak_v bold_o in_o the_o synagogue_n and_o after_o only_o a_o more_o full_a information_n in_o the_o way_n of_o god_n by_o aquila_n and_o priscilla_n he_o mighty_o help_v those_o that_o have_v believe_v through_o grace_n convince_a the_o jew_n and_o that_o public_o that_o jesus_n be_v christ_n 3_o argument_n be_v draw_v from_o the_o nature_n of_o

and_o charge_v to_o speak_v no_o more_o in_o the_o name_n of_o the_o lord_n jesus_n the_o reason_n which_o they_o give_v why_o they_o must_v speak_v be_v not_o draw_v from_o any_o official_a

i_o do_v believe_v say_v david_n therefore_o have_v i_o speak_v so_o in_o the_o 66_o psal_n 26._o be_v experience_v in_o the_o mercy_n of_o god_n deliver_v he_o as_o he_o say_v in_o another_o place_n the_o word_n do_v 〈◊〉_d in_o his_o breast_n so_o here_o he_o can_v not_o reserve_v in_o his_o own_o breast_n what_o god_n have_v do_v for_o he_o come_v hither_o say_v he_o all_o you_o that_o fear_v the_o lord_n &_o i_o will_v tell_v you_o what_o he_o have_v do_v for_o my_o soul_n so_o in_o the_o 32_o psal_n 4.5_o i_o acknowledge_v my_o transgression_n say_v he_o and_o thou_o forgave_v my_o
