The Contents THE Truth of Christian Faith asserted from the Gifts and Operations of the Holy Ghost in general and more particularly from the Gift of Prophesie and from the Gift of Tongues § 1. HAVING by what is thus premised prepar'd the way we now advance to that most clear and cogent evidence of Christian Faith which the Apostle stiles the demonstration of the Spirit and of Power I Cor. 2.4 and we have ample confirmation of it both from the Gifts and Graces the Predictions and Powerful Operations of the Holy Ghost the Excellency of the Christian Doctrine and its Subservience unto our present and eternal Welfare § 2. NOW that the Gifts and Power of the Holy Ghost were thus engaged to confirm and propagate this Faith will be apparent 1. From that assurance which the Baptist give both to the a Luke 3.16 Jews in general and to the b Matt. 3.7 11. Pharisees and Sadduces in particular that the Messiah would suddenly baptize them with the holy Ghost And secondly from a like Promise which our Saviour made to his Disciples that he would c joh 15.26 send his holy Spirit down upon them and would d Acts. 5.5 baptize them with the holy Ghost and by that Spirit would e Joh. 16.13 shew them things to come and bring to their f Joh. 14.26 and 16.13 remembrance the things which he had spoken and that he would instruct them and teach them all things For had no signal Evidence been given of the completion of these Promises upon the Primitive Professors of the Christian Faith as they pretend there was the Expectation of the Christian would have been entirely frustrated and the whole Story of the Acts of the Apostles have been convinced of Falshood especially Acts 4.31 33. when it so roundly tells us They were all filled with the holy Ghost Thirdly This is apparent also from their confident appeal unto the Testimony of the holy Ghost as a convincing Demonstration of the Resurrection of our Lord. Acts 5.30 31 32. The God of our Fathers hath raised Iesus to be a Prince and Saviour and to give repentance unto Israel and we are his witnesses of these things and so is that holy Ghost which he hath given to them that obey him They spake of this Testimony as a convincing motive to the Prophet or Spiritual Person to acknowledge that what the Apostles writ 1 Cor. 14.37 was the commandment of God and that the Gospel which they Preached was the undoubted Truth and that which was to be retained in opposition to the Law Gal. 3.5 The ministration of the Spirit and Power of working Miracles being the result not of the Law but of the Gospel And lastly This is apparent from the manifestation of this Spirit in the Church of God by gifts of wisdom knowledge 1 Cor. 12.8 9 10. prophesie and the discerning of the mind of God by miracles by gifts of healing and of faith by divers kind of tongues and the interpretation of them by the effusions of which Gifts on Iew and Gentile bond and free 1 Cor. 12.13 they were all baptized into one body and made to drink into one spirit § 3. BUT secondly The Gift of Prophesie affords a second Demonstration of the assistance of the holy Ghost vouchsafed unto them this being represented as a thing common and luxuriant in the Church of Corinth For the Apostle tells them that each man hath his revelation and that they all might Prophesie 1 Cor. 14.24 26 31. he instructs them how and when to use and when to limit and restrain this Gift and chides them for abusing it to the confusion of the Church and the disturbance of her Peace Now Joh. 7.39 since the tenure of the Promise made by Christ of giving of his Spirit to Believers and both the use and reason of the thing did equally concern Believers it may be rationally concluded That this Gift of Prophesie was equally vouchsafed unto other Churches Hence a 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 Iren. l. 5. c. 6. l. 2. c. 57. 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 Irenaeus tells us That Prophesies and
