and Philip had four Daughters that were Prophets such would be despised which the Apostle did not forbid And if it were to all Women that no Woman might speak then Paul would have contradicted himself but they were such Women that the Apostle mentions in Timothy That grew wanton and were busie-bodies and tatlers and kicked against Christ For Christ in the Male and in the Female is one and he is the Husband and his Wife is the Church and God hath said that his Daughters should Prophesie as well as his Sons And where he hath poured forth his Spirit upon them they must prophesie though blind Priests say to the contrary and will not permit holy Women to speak And whereas it is said I permit not a Woman to speak as saith the Law but where Women are led by the Spirit of God they are not under the Law for Christ in the Male and in the Female is one and where he is made manifest in Male and Female he may speak for he is the end of the Law for Righteousness to all them that believe So here you ought to make a distinction what sort of Women are forbidden to speak such as were under the Law who were not come to Christ nor to the Spirit of Prophesie For Hulda Miriam and Hanna were Prophets who were not forbidden in the time of the Law for they all prophesied in the time of the Law as you may read in 2 Kings 22. what Hulda said unto the Priest and to the Ambassadors that were sent to her from the King Go saith she and tell the Man that sent you to me Thus saith the Lord God of Israel Behold I will bring evil upon this place and on the Inhabitants thereof even all the words of the Book which the King of Judah hath read because they have forsaken me and have burnt Incence to other Gods to anger me with all the works of their hands Therefore my wrath shall be kindled against this place and shall not be quenched But to the King of Judah that sent you to me to ask counsel of the Lord so shall you say to him Thus saith the Lord God of Israel Because thy heart did melt and thou humblest thy self before the Lord when thou heardest what I spake against this place and against the Inhabitants of the same how they should be destroyed Behold I will receive thee to thy Father and thou shalt be put into thy Grave in peace and thine eyes shall not see all the evil which I will bring upon this place Now let us see if any of you blind Priests can speak after this manner and see if it be not a better Sermon then any of you can make who are against Womens speaking And Isaiah that went to the Prophetess did not forbid her Speaking or Prophesying Isa 8. And was it not prophesied in Joel 2. that Hand maids should Propesie And are not Hand-maids Women Consider this ye that are against Womens Speaking how in the Acts the Spirit of the Lord was poured forth upon Daughters as well as Sons In the time of the Gospel when Mary came to salute Elizabeth in the Hill Country in Judea and when Elizabeth heard the salutation of Mary the Babe leaped in her Womb and she was filled with the Holy Spirit and Elizabeth spoke with a loud voice Blessed art thou amongst Women blessed is the fruit of thy Womb whence is this to me that the Mother of my Lord should come to me for lo as soon as thy Salutation came to my ear the Babe leaped in my Womb for joy for blessed is she that believes for there shall be a performance of those things which were told her from the Lord. And this was Elizabeths Sermon concerning Christ which at this day stands upon Record● And then Mary said My soul doth magnifie the Lord and my Spirit rejoyceth in God my Saviour for he hath regarded the low estate of his Hand-maid for behold from henceforth all Generations shall call me blessed for he that is mighty hath done to me great things and holy is his Name and his Mercy is on them that fear him from Generation to Generation he hath shewed strength with his Arm he hath scattered the proud in the imaginations of their own hearts he hath put down the mighty from their Seats and exalted them of low degree he hath filled the hungry with good things and the rich he hath sent empty away He hat holpen his Servant Israel in remembrance of his mercy as he spake to his Father to Abraham and to his Seed for ever Are you not here beholding to the Woman for her Sermon to use her words to put into your Common Prayer and yet you forbid Womens Speaking Now here you may see how those two women prophesied of Christ and Preached better then all the blind Priests did in that Age and better then this Age also who are beholding to women to make use of their words And see in the Book of Ruth how the women blessed her in the Gate of the City of whose stock came Christ The Lord make the woman that is come into thy House like Rachel and Loah which built the house of Israel and that thou mayest doworthily in Ephrata and be famous in Bethlehem let thy house be like the house of Pharez whom Tamer bare unto Judah of the Seed which the Lord shall give thee of this young woman And blessed be the Lord which hath not left thee this day without a Kinsman and his Name shall be continued in Israel And also see in the first Chapter of Samuel how Hannah prayed and spake in the Temple of the Lord Oh Lord of Hosts if thou wilt look on the trouble of thy Hand maid and remember me and not forget thy Hand-maid And read in the second Chapter of Samuel How she rejoyced in God and said My heart rejoyceth in the Lord My Horn is exalted in the Lord and my mouth is enlarged over my enemies because I rejoyce in thy Salvation there is none holy as the Lord yea there is none besides thee and there is no God like our God Speak no more presumptously let not arrogancy come out of your mouths for the Lord is a God of knowledge and by him enterprises are established the Bow and the mighty Men are broken and the weak hath girded to themselves strength they that were full are hired forth for bread and the hungry are no more hired so that the barren hath born seven and she that had many Children is feeble the Lord killeth and maketh alive bringeth down to the Grave and raiseth up the Lord maketh poor and maketh rich bringeth low and exalteth he raiseth up the poor out of the dust and lifteth up the Beggar from the dunghil to set them among Princes to make them inherit the seat of Glory for the Pillars of the earth are the Lords he hath set the world upon them he will keep the feet of his
