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

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

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 scripture_n 1._o it_o be_v take_v in_o the_o strict_a sense_n for_o foretell_v thing_n to_o come_v thus_o the_o prophet_n as_o psaiah_n jeremiah_n ezekiel_n be_v prophet_n 2._o for_o public_a preach_v

56.10_o 3._o for_o private_a interpretation_n yet_o not_o be_v contrariant_n to_o public_a doctrine_n that_o be_v true_a for_o the_o juice_n and_o
christ_n prescribe_v scribe_n in_o matth._n 17.21_o if_o do_v miracle_n be_v perform_v by_o some_o minister_n to_o restore_v a_o man_n from_o some_o sore_a disease_n or_o to_o dispossess_v he_o from_o

house_n and_o to_o declare_v what_o great_a thing_n the_o lord_n have_v do_v for_o he_o conclude_v he_o that_o so_o do_v to_o be_v a_o preacher_n i_o know_v you_o will_v else_o what_o can_v you_o make_v of_o this_o example_n certain_o these_o be_v very_o strange_a collection_n to_o say_v that_o because_o such_o a_o one_o reeceive_v such_o a_o particular_a mercy_n by_o prayer_n and_o fast_v and_o proclaim_v it_o to_o his_o friend_n or_o near_a neighbour_n and_o to_o those_o of_o his_o near_a acquaintance_n he_o be_v therefore_o a_o preacher_n so_o here_o the_o act_n on_o christ_n part_n be_v sudden_a and_o so_o no_o doubt_n but_o extraordinary_a and_o upon_o the_o sudden_a performance_n of_o the_o same_o the_o man_n proclaim_v what_o christ_n have_v so_o do_v be_v full_a of_o great_a joy_n that_o if_o he_o can_v he_o will_v as_o the_o text_n say_v have_v continue_v with_o christ_n and_o may_v not_o you_o as_o well_o conclude_v that_o those_o two_o blind_a man_n be_v preacher_n for_o they_o do_v the_o same_o that_o this_o man_n do_v in_o spread_v abroad_o his_o fame_n if_o you_o say_v that_o these_o two_o be_v not_o send_v but_o the_o other_o be_v then_o let_v i_o ask_v you_o this_o question_n where_o be_v it_o say_v that_o the_o woman_n of_o samaria_n be_v send_v and_o yet_o you_o will_v have_v she_o a_o preacher_n and_o beside_o upon_o the_o same_o ground_n that_o you_o take_v she_o to_o be_v a_o preacher_n upon_o the_o same_o will_v i_o prove_v the_o two_o blind_a man_n to_o be_v so_o too_o for_o the_o woman_n she_o call_v her_o citizen_n to_o come_v to_o christ_n the_o other_o which_o be_v dispossess_v of_o the_o devil_n go_v and_o preach_v what_o thing_n god_n have_v do_v for_o he_o and_o these_o two_o blind_a man_n that_o christ_n cure_v go_v and_o spread_v his_o fame_n abroad_o now_o if_o it_o be_v a_o sufficient_a proof_n to_o make_v a_o dissent_n in_o these_o action_n because_o the_o one_o text_n say_v the_o one_o preach_v and_o the_o other_o have_v it_o not_o and_o so_o to_o make_v a_o difference_n upon_o the_o word_n preach_v which_o in_o the_o sense_n be_v all_o one_o i_o leave_v all_o man_n to_o judge_v furthermore_o if_o the_o uttermost_a that_o you_o can_v gather_v from_o this_o place_n be_v grant_v you_o that_o this_o man_n do_v preach_v yet_o you_o can_v hence_o prove_v your_o call_n to_o wit_n that_o a_o lay_v man_n may_v public_o preach_v be_v not_o call_v by_o the_o church_n when_o there_o be_v the_o mean_n that_o may_v be_v afford_v for_o that_o end_n because_o christ_n send_v this_o man_n out_o by_o his_o voice_n and_o command_n and_o so_o must_v needs_o be_v extraordinary_a and_o that_o not_o because_o he_o want_v a_o extraordinary_a spirit_n but_o because_o he_o be_v no_o church_n officer_n nor_o be_v mediate_o call_v or_o send_v but_o immediate_o for_o as_o be_v say_v before_o some_o thing_n be_v extraordinary_a beside_o pen_v of_o scripture_n and_o the_o work_n of_o miracle_n as_o those_o action_n perform_v by_o timothy_n and_o titus_n they_o be_v extraordinary_a person_n &_o do_v and_o perform_v act_n and_o office_n that_o be_v extraordinary_a for_o their_o manner_n and_o their_o performance_n make_v they_o extraordiry_a man_n whence_o they_o be_v call_v evangelist_n and_o although_o they_o be_v mediate_o call_v by_o the_o church_n yet_o the_o execution_n of_o that_o to_o which_o they_o be_v call_v make_v they_o extraordinary_a but_o here_o this_o man_n be_v not_o only_o extraordinary_a in_o what_o he_o do_v but_o also_o be_v extraordinary_o send_v from_o christ_n own_o vocal_a commission_n now_o if_o timothy_n and_o titus_n be_v extraordinary_a because_o they_o do_v action_n extraordinary_a for_o their_o manner_n why_o be_v not_o this_o man_n extraordinary_a when_o he_o be_v not_o only_o extraordinary_o send_v but_o do_v execute_v that_o also_o in_o a_o extraordinary_a manner_n to_o which_o purpose_n he_o be_v send_v neither_o be_v a_o church_n officer_n likewise_o it_o behoove_v you_o to_o prove_v that_o these_o action_n perform_v by_o the_o scatter_a christian_n and_o the_o woman_n and_o this_o man_n be_v perpetual_o so_o do_v by_o they_o and_o not_o once_o or_o twice_o which_o you_o can_v prove_v for_o there_o be_v good_a reason_n for_o they_o now_o to_o do_v that_o but_o not_o as_o church_n officer_n and_o so_o leave_v imitable_a to_o
