how can you be established and beleive not the Prophets for beleiving the Prophets they came to be established as you may read 2 Cron. 20. So how ignorant of the Prophets and promises of God do the called Teachers of the world make themselves manifest and how in darkness they appear to the children of Light 1 Thes 5.20 So you that despise prophecying and cast the sons and daughters servants and handmaids into prisons who witness the spirit of the Lord God poured forth upon them you shew that you be out of the Apostles Doctrine to be strangers to the spirit the Scriptures were given forth from and are ignorant of the Church the Apostle speaks of who saith let the Prophets speak two or three and let the other judge if any thing be revealed to one that sits by let the first hold his peace for you may all prophesy one by one that all may learn and all may be comforted and the spirit of the Prophets is subject to the prophets for God is not the author of confusion but of peace as in all the Churches of the Saints this order was in the Church of the Saints the Prophets to speak two or three and the other to judge and if any thing be revealed to another that fits by the first held his peace 1 Cor. 14.30 they might prophecy all one by one that all may learn and be comforted and the spirit of the prophets was subject to the Prophets and this was order and not confusion in all the Churches of the Saints which is disorder and confusion in the Churches of the world who cannot endure a daughter to prophecy for a daughter might prophecy a daughter being a prophetess where the spirit of the Lord is poured forth upon her for you never read that any of the Prophets or Apostles were against a daughters prophecying which had the spirit of the Lord poured forth upon them a daughter might prophecy in the Church for let your Prophets speak two or three and I will poure out my Spirit upon all flesh and your daughters shall prophecy for you that despise prophecing despises Gods command and are out of Moses Light and life who said would all the Lord's people were Prophets Num. 11.26 27 28. and daughters are the Lords people and when they were prophecying in the Campe there ran a young man and told Moses and Ioshua the Son of Nun the servant of Moses one of his young men answered and said my Lord forbid them like the Priest now And Moses said unto him envyest thou for my sake Would God all the Lord's people were Prophets and that the Lord would put his Spirit upon them Now marke Moses answer how backward Moses was from limmitting the Spirit that he would have the Lords spirit put upon them all and said would that the Lords people were all Prophets some of which were women Now hear you Magistrats Priests and people which do put into Prison Sons and Daughters for prophecying and the Lords people you shew a contrary spirit you shew a spirit that hath erred from Moses spirit who cannot endure the spirit of the Lord should be poured upon them that they should Prophecy but would limmit it to Learned men old Books and Authors And Hannah the Prophetess the Daughter of Phanuel which was about fourscore and foure years of age came into the Temple who served God with fasting and praying night and day she spake of Christ to all them that looked for Redemption in Jerusalem Here was a large Testimony born of Jesus by Hannah the Prophetess Luke 2.36 37 38. here you may see a daughter which did give Testimony of Jesus which would be as a wonder in this our age to see a woman of four score years of age to speak of Jesus to all them that looked for redemption in Ierusalem as she did put her into Prison would the wicked ones say into Prison with her would the Priests say Paul the Minister of God in Phil. 4 There he intreats his true yoak-fellow to help those women which laboured with him in the Gospel as you may there read the women were joyned with the other fellow labourers and the Apostles whose names were written in the Book of life And in Rom. 16. there you may see Pricilla and Aquilla Paul's helpers in Christ Jesus who for his life laid down their necks Here the wife Pricilla was an Instructer and was one of them that laid down their necks and a helper in Christ Jesus Act. 18.24 25 26. She and Aquilla took Appollo and expounded to him the way of God more perfectly one who taught in the Synagogue was instructed by her and him in the way of God more perfectly at such your Synagogue Teachers scoff to be instructed by a woman and you that forbid a Womans speaking that hath the spirit of the Lord you forbid Scripture 1 Cor. 16 19. for Aquilla and Pricilla had a Church in their house and the Church in Pricilla and Aquilla's house was to be Greeted who were instructors and in the aforesaid Chap. Act. 18. he that vvas speaking bouldly in the Synagogue witnessing Iohn to him Pricilla expounded the way of God more perfectly and the Apostle Paul a Minister of the Lord who witnessed the daughters prophecying I commend unto you Phebe our Sister which is a servant of the Church which is at Cenchrea that you receive her in the Lord as becometh Saints that you assist her in what business she hath need of for she hath been a succorour of many and of my self also This was Phebe the sister the servant of the Church which was to be received in the Lord and assist her in whatsoever business she hath need And saith the Apostles as touching Pricilla and Aquilla his fellow labourers in Christ Jesus who laid down their necks for his life unto whom he gave thanks and not onely to them but also all the Churches of the Gentiles here you may see the account Aquilla and Pricilla were in who laid down their necks for the Apostles how thanks-worthy they were and Mary in ver 6. was to be greeted who bestowed much labour on the Apostles you that cannot own the prophecying of the daughters the women labourers in the Gospel you are such as the Apostle speaks of in the same Chapter Rom. 16. Which serve not the Lord Iesus Christ but your own Bellys by the good words and fair speeches deceive the hearts of the simple For the obedience of these was gon abroad which the Apostle speaks of and your disobedience is gone abroad to the Apostle's Doctrine's Who cannot endure the prophecy of the sons and daughters where the spirit of the Lord is poured upon them And Mary Magdalen saw Iesus after his Resurection which on the first day of the week came to the Sepulcher when she saw Iesus she knew not that it was him and said unto him Master Iesus saith unto her touch me not for I am

women labourers in the Gospel which they that are now doctors Teachers and professors are against which you never read Timothy Titus or the Apostles did forbid Daughters or women prophecying and they are ignorant that forbid women or Daughters prophecying and women labouring in the Gospel which is the power of God and their compairing them to Iesabel shews their ignorance Rev. 2.10 And it is a shame for a woman to speak in the Church 1 Cor. 14.34 that which the Law forbids and commands silence it is a shame to suffer them to speak in the Church What Came the word of God out from you or came it unto you only Paul according to the measure given to him in all his Epistles 2 Pet. 3. speaking in them of things which some are hard to be understood which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest as they do also the other Scriptures to their own destruction you therefore beloved seeing you know these things bewar least you also be led away with the error of the wicked and fall from your own steadfastness 2. Pet. 3. but growe in grace and in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ who is the end of the Law for Righteousness sake Rom. 8. Act. 4. Peter which was unlearned in the Letter yet learned of Christ saies such as are unlearned wrest the Scriptures and the Epistles being unlearned The Scribes Pharisees great Rabbies and Doctors knew not the Scripture being not learned of Christ him who was the life of the Prophets and the end of the Law whom Peter was learned in knew and preached whom they knew not so here the unlearned who was in the life confounded all the learned out of the life who learned of him by whom the world was made who comprehended all the world's learning so the unlearned wrest they are to learn in silence and not to speak as saith the Law but learn of their Husbands at home Christ who makes free from the Law nevertheless she shall be saved by Child bearing Christ in the Male Christ in the Female Husbands love your wives and be not bitter against them Wives submit your selves first to your Husbands as unto the Lord the Husband is the head of the Wife even as Christ is the head of the Church Ephe. 5. is the saviour of the body therefore as the Church is subject to Christ so let the Wives be subject to their own Husbands in every thing Ephe. 5. Husbands love your Wives even as Christ loved the Church and gave himself for it that he might sanctifie and clense it by the washing of water by the word that he might present it a glorious Church without spot or wrinckle or any such thing that it should be holy and without blemish so ought men to love their wives as their own bodys he that loveth his wife loveth himself for no man ever hateth his own flesh but nourished it and cherished it even as the Lord the Church for we are Members of his body of his flesh and of his bones for this cause shall a man leave his Father and Mother and be joyned to his wife and they twain shall be one flesh This is a great mistery I speak concerning Christ and the Church he that hath an ear let him hear this great mistery now the unlearned men wrest it and the unstablished who know not this great mistery you that are ignorant of the Lords work and the voice of his Prophets who are wondring at the Prophecying of the Daughters who make your selves ignorant of the Scriptures and are wondring at the Lords Prophetesses or his Daughters contrary to Ioel the Lords Prophet which spoke from the Lord and saith the Lord to him I am the Lord your God and none else and my people shall never be ashamed it shall come to pass after those days when Christ came which was the end of the Law I will poure forth my Spirit upon all flesh and your Sons and your Daughters shall Prophecy and your old men shall dream dreames and young men shall see visions also upon the servants upon the handmaids in those days will I poure out my spirit saith the Lord Here all may see the Spirit of the Lord not limited but upon the Handmaids and the Servants is the Lords Spirit poured and to be poured and many thousands of Servants and Handmaids do witness the Spirit of the Lord poured upon them the word of the Lord fulfilled and upon the Sons and Daughters will the Lord poure out his spirit and they shall prophecy and many Daughters and sons young old men witness the spirit of the Lord upon them poured out that visions are seen old men dreame dreames and young men see visions and their Sons their Daughters do prophecy Ioel 2.28 and in Act. 2. The Apostles did there gather together waiting upon the Lord upon whom the holy Ghost fell among them that waited for the Spirit this prophecy of Ioel they saw the fulfilling of which to the world they were as men drunk and so here the Apostles witnessed the fulfilling of the Prophet who were witnesses of Christ whom the Apostles did give testimony of and did speak of the Daughters prophecying and Phillip had foure daughters that did prophecy which the Apostle did not forbid and saith the Apostle 1 Thes 5. despise not prophecying c. And when the Apostles said the Sons and Daughters should prophecy they were looked upon by the world as men do now to be drunk And whereas Moses said I would all the Lords people were Prophets and there were women that were the Lords people as well as men and women Prophetesses in his days and in the time of the Law Therfore you who are called Christians have a minde unlike Moses and do shew that you have not the Spirit of the Lord poured upon you according to Ioel 2. to prophecy withall who appear to be such as vex grieve it and then envy such as prophecy with it and persecute them And you do not read that the Jews were offended at old Hannah the Prophetess who prophecyed in the Temple which if an old woman should come and prophecy in your Synagogs or Temples you would cry to the Stocks with her or to Prison with her and haile and persecute her though you be called Christians and so do shew your selves worse then the Jews And saith the Lord 1 Cron. 16.22 Touch not mine Anointed and do my Prophets no harme So you that persecute the Daughters on whom the spirit of the Lord is poured and beleeve them not you are them that despise the Prophets and Prophetesses and despise Prophecying and so have broken the Apostles command who saith despise not prophecying and shews that you are out of the Prophet's doctrin and the Apostles doctrin and against the promises of God do stand withall your might who saith he would pour forth his Spirit upon all flesh and his Daughters should prophecy And
