None of these while in that state may or can be permitted to speak in the Church of God but if they do they are to be testified against and all them that look for Gain and seeks for Gain from their Quarters and teach for Hire and divine for Money and all them who exercise Lordship over God's Heritage and all them who beat their fellow-Servants and eat and drink with the Drunkards and all them who steal the Words one from another and say Thus saith the Lord when the Lord never spake to them and all them who use unsound Words and slattering Titles to please Men and keep not the form of sound words and all them that have a form of Godliness denying the Power I say none of these may or can be permitted to speak in the Church of God and all those who deny Scripture-Testimony concerning Christ and undervalue his divine Precepts and Commands None of these may or can be permitted to speak in Christ's Church But I had almost forgot to tell you and did forget till the Spirit of Truth brought it to my remembrance that it is impossible that either Male or Fe●ale can speak in Christ's Church till ●hey be redeemed out of all these for the ●●ue Church is in God and God is in his ●wn Kingdom where the rebellious and ●nd disobedient and unclean cannot en●er nor any Man nor Woman can enter Gods Kingdom till they be born again ●nd made new in Christ Jesus To be short all who deny the Prophets Doctrine or Christ's Doctrine his di●ine Precepts recorded in holy Scripture ●r deny the Apostles Doctrine I say ●●ch are not to be permitted to speak in ●he solemn Assemblies of the Saints and ●lthough they confess all to be true yet if ●hey walk contrary in Life and Practice ●hey are to be silent in the solemn Assem●lies of the Righteous And all the Women that live in Pride and in Covetousness and in the vain Adornings of their outward Bodies and all that are drunken with the Cares and carnal Pleasures of this present evil World and all who useth Usurpation over the Man outward or inward are to be silent and not to speak in the Congregations of the Righteous Whoever they be Man or Woman that are found in the first Adam's nature in the fall they not witnessing a Death to that first Birth in them and a Resurrection throug● Jesus Christ unto Life in some measure● I say be they man or woman the Spirit o● God forbids them speaking in the Church And as the Man and the Woman are a● one in the Lord being filled by the sam● Spirit of God may speak in the Churc● as the Spirit of God gives them utterance● it being not they that speak but Christ i● them the Spirit of Truth in them So the Man and the Woman are all one in old Adam in the fall and such old Creatures may not nor can be permitted to speak in the Church Isa 49. 22 23. Thus saith the Lord God Behold I will lift up mine Hand to the Gentiles and set up my Standard to the People and they shall bring thy Sons in their Bosom and thy Daughters shall be carried upon their Shoulders and Kings shall be thy Nursing-Fathers and their Queens thy Nursing-Mothers c. Was it not here foretold that Women also should be nourishers or Nurses in Christ's Church And if they be Nurses they must have something to give to the Children and Milk in their Breasts to the Babes And if a Woman have the Milk of the Word of God in her Breast to wit in her Heart let her not hide nor keep it back but she must give it forth to ●●e hungry Babes for if she do not her ●reasts will grow dry O! my Soul and Life hath travelled with ●he Lord that I might see this day fulfilled ●hat this barren VVilderness might become ● fruitful Field that Kings and Queens ●rinces and their Princesses Dukes and ●heir Dutchesses and all other great Men ●nd great Women of all Ranks and De●rees whatsoever among whom I have ●welt in the outward from my birth might ●ome to receive the Word of Life in them●elves and partake of the Promise in Christ Jesus in his Church and that they may ●ome to witness that noble Birth brought forth in them that partakes of the Milk of ●he Word of God and would cause it to issue abundantly to nourish the hungry Babes and Children of Christ O Lord God! I wait for thy Salvation to see thee perform that word that sprung in my heart concerning them even that the Wilderness should become a fruitful Field and that the fruitful Field shall become a Wilderness It is with thee O Lord to do that which no other can do even to bring down the high Mountains and to level the high Hills and to make thy Way thorow them and to exalt thy Glory in the whole Earth for thou art God and there is none else with thee all things are possible glory to thy great Name forever and evermore saith my Soul Joel 2. 28. Acts 2. 17 18. And it shal come to pass that in the last days saith God I will pour out of my Spirit upon all Flesh and your Sons and your Daughters shall Prophecy and your Young Men shall see Visions and your Old Men shall dream Dreams and on my Servants and on my Hand-maidens I will pour out in those days of my Spirit and they shall Prophecy And now in this Age and in our Day the Lord is fulfilling his Promise and his Spirit is poured forth upon many Sons and Daughters Servants and Hand-maidens The Earnest Penny is already received and many of them are runing to and fro and trading with their heavenly Penny their heavenly Gift that the may bring the Increase and Gain to their Lord and Master Christ Jesus And W● will be to them who hide their Lords Money in the Earth and put their Candl● under a Bushel of Earth and Wo also will be to them who stop forbid and disturb th● Sons and Daughters Servants and Handmaidens of the Lord in their going to and fro and improving their Lords money to wit their heavenly Gift that knowledg● may be encreased I say wo and misery will be the portion of such who distrub and stop them in their Travel if they Repent not Psal 2. 10 11 12. Be Wise now therefore O ye Kings be instructed ye Judges of the Earth serve the Lord with fear and rejoyce with Trembling kiss the Son lest he be angry and ye perish from the Way When his wrath is kindled but a little blessed are all they that put their trust in him If you rebel against him till his Wrath be kindled against you he will break you dash you to pieces one against another like a Potters Vessel And now you may see that the Promise is to Daughters as well as to Sons to Handmaidens as well as to Men-servants and that the one shall prophesie as truly as the other Hugh Wood.
