which_o miracle_n of_o speak_v with_o tongue_n there_o be_v not_o as_o i_o conceive_v only_o to_o confirm_v what_o they_o be_v to_o speak_v but_o also_o to_o speak_v to_o the_o understanding_n of_o all_o nation_n that_o they_o be_v to_o speak_v or_o preach_v to_o that_o be_v that_o they_o may_v be_v able_a to_o preach_v to_o every_o people_n in_o their_o own_o language_n as_o they_o do_v as_o appear_v act._n 12._o and_o that_o this_o be_v saint_n paul_n practice_n appear_v in_o the_o 1_o cor._n 14.18_o 19_o i_o thank_v god_n i_o speak_v with_o tongue_n more_o than_o you_o all_o yet_o in_o the_o church_n i_o have_v rather_o speak_v five_o word_n with_o my_o understanding_n that_o by_o my_o voice_n i_o may_v teach_v other_o also_o then_o ten_o thousand_o word_n in_o a_o unknown_a tongue_n and_o as_o he_o speak_v to_o the_o church_n so_o doubtless_o he_o write_v to_o the_o church_n in_o a_o know_a tongue_n also_o that_o he_o may_v teach_v they_o in_o that_o way_n also_o which_o out_o of_o all_o question_n be_v likewise_o the_o practice_n of_o all_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o apostle_n now_o who_o can_v tell_v i_o what_o be_v the_o tongue_n that_o paul_n speak_v and_o wherein_o he_o write_v to_o the_o roman_n corinthian_n galathian_o ephesian_n philipian_o colssioan_n thessalonian_o and_o also_o to_o timotheus_n titus_n philemon_n and_o to_o the_o hebrew_n and_o likewise_o in_o what_o tongue_n st._n james_n his_o epistle_n be_v write_v first_o and_o st._n peter_n epistle_n and_o st._n johns_n 3._o epistle_n and_o st._n judes_n beside_o i_o will_v fain_o know_v in_o what_o tongue_n or_o tongue_n the_o say_v st._n john_n write_v the_o revelation_n to_o the_o 7._o church_n in_o asia_n revel_v 1.4_o if_o any_o can_v infallible_o tell_v i_o than_o i_o ask_v who_o be_v that_o one_o man_n that_o can_v speak_v all_o those_o tongue_n and_o write_v the_o same_o language_n wherein_o those_o epistle_n be_v first_o speak_v and_o write_v by_o the_o apostle_n but_o there_o be_v no_o such_o man_n in_o all_o the_o world_n much_o less_o in_o england_n and_o therefore_o if_o to_o speak_v with_o the_o tongue_n wherein_o the_o scripture_n be_v write_v and_o speak_v by_o the_o apostle_n be_v essential_a to_o the_o be_v of_o a_o prophet_n or_o preacher_n of_o the_o gospel_n in_o england_n then_o be_v there_o no_o prophet_n or_o preacher_n of_o the_o gospel_n in_o

have_v they_o therefore_o to_o speak_v with_o tongue_n be_v not_o essential_a to_o the_o be_v of_o a_o prophet_n obj._n 6._o we_o read_v in_o the_o 1_o of_o cor._n 14.5_o in_o the_o same_o verse_n where_o the_o word_n run_v thus_o i_o will_v that_o you_o all_o speak_v with_o tongue_n but_o rather_o that_o you_o prophesy_v for_o great_a be_v he_o that_o prophesi_v than_o he_o that_o speak_v with_o tongue_n except_o he_o interpret_v that_o the_o church_n may_v receive_v edify_v therefore_o etc._n etc._n answ_n this_o be_v not_o at_o all_o against_o what_o be_v lay_v down_o for_o all_o that_o st._n paul_n hold_v forth_o unto_o we_o here_o be_v brief_o this_o namely_o that_o it_o be_v a_o good_a thing_n to_o speak_v with_o tongue_n but_o that_o it_o be_v far_o better_a to_o prophesy_v and_o that_o it_o be_v best_o of_o all_o to_o speak_v with_o tongue_n and_o prophesy_v too_o in_o that_o sense_n he_o there_o mean_v as_o you_o will_v plain_o see_v if_o you_o do_v well_o ponder_v the_o word_n beside_o paul_n in_o the_o 18._o verse_n be_v so_o far_o from_o contemn_v the_o tongue_n that_o he_o bless_v god_n even_o for_o this_o that_o he_o speak_v with_o tongue_n more_o than_o they_o all_o &_o in_o the_o 39_o verse_n he_o say_v brethren_n covet_v to_o prophesy_v and_o forbid_v not_o to_o speak_v with_o tongue_n so_o that_o all_o st._n paul_n hold_v forth_o here_o be_v that_o to_o speak_v with_o tongue_n be_v excellent_a in_o his_o sense_n and_o that_o prophesy_a be_v more_o excellent_a and_o that_o they_o be_v two_o distinct_a gift_n and_o that_o where_o they_o meet_v together_o they_o be_v most_o sweet_a and_o excellent_a and_o so_o humane_a learning_n be_v a_o excellent_a servant_n or_o handmaid_n to_o prophesy_v when_o it_o be_v right_o employ_v in_o its_o right_a station_n for_o as_o in_o the_o build_n of_o the_o material_a temple_n of_o god_n he_o make_v use_v of_o humane_a art_n in_o their_o time_n &_o place_n so_o our_o humane_a learned_a art_n may_v be_v use_v in_o their_o time_n and_o place_n for_o the_o build_n of_o the_o spiritual_a temple_n provide_v that_o they_o be_v not_o use_v as_o of_o necessity_n but_o only_o as_o convenient_a 2_o cor._n 12.16_o now_o in_o the_o build_n of_o the_o material_a temple_n all_o humane_a art_n &_o science_n be_v use_v in_o the_o wood_n &_o quarry_n in_o dig_v fell_n hew_a square_n
