revelation_n that_o be_v not_o make_v thus_o to_o public_a person_n and_o wherein_o there_o be_v not_o always_o that_o infallibility_n throughout_o in_o the_o whole_a though_o so_o far_o as_o the_o spirit_n reveal_v himself_o to_o any_o he_o be_v infallible_a but_o it_o be_v not_o so_o to_o they_o because_o they_o be_v not_o public_a person_n and_o that_o act_n by_o a_o public_a commission_n 17._o there_o be_v revelation_n to_o particular_a person_n now_o what_o be_v the_o difference_n betwixt_o those_o two_o why_o they_o be_v for_o themselves_o other_o for_o the_o public_a therefore_o they_o be_v infallible_o and_o extraordinary_o act_v and_o they_o know_v it_o so_o to_o be_v as_o paul_n say_v you_o shall_v find_v in_o the_o 16._o of_o the_o act_n there_o when_o he_o be_v call_v to_o macedonia_n it_o be_v a_o very_a good_a place_n for_o this_o purpose_n and_o i_o desire_v it_o may_v be_v consider_v when_o he_o have_v that_o revelation_n there_o that_o he_o must_v go_v into_o macedonia_n it_o be_v say_v paul_n come_v into_o macedonia_n and_o help_v we_o you_o shall_v find_v he_o say_v he_o go_v why_o he_o go_v immediate_o because_o he_o be_v assure_v that_o he_o must_v go_v in_o the_o 10._o verse_n after_o that_o he_o have_v see_v the_o vision_n immediate_o endeavour_v to_o go_v into_o macedonia_n assure_o gather_v that_o the_o lord_n have_v call_v we_o to_o preach_v the_o gospel_n to_o they_o if_o you_o will_v ask_v any_o man_n how_o will_v you_o know_v you_o have_v a_o revelation_n note_n i_o hope_v sir_n i_o have_v it_o from_o god_n if_o he_o say_v so_o he_o hope_v he_o have_v it_o from_o god_n i_o will_v conclude_v it_o be_v no_o such_o extraordinary_a revelation_n for_o if_o he_o have_v have_v a_o extraordinary_a revelation_n from_o god_n wherein_o he_o be_v infallible_a than_o he_o have_v that_o {non-roman}_o {non-roman}_o {non-roman}_o {non-roman}_o {non-roman}_o which_o here_o paul_n find_v at_o least_o in_o a_o good_a measure_n and_o it_o will_v so_o far_o have_v discover_v itself_o to_o he_o that_o he_o shall_v have_v have_v a_o strong_a assurance_n that_o god_n call_v he_o and_o he_o must_v go_v but_o i_o remember_v a_o story_n a_o man_n have_v knock_v down_o image_n out_o of_o a_o window_n and_o then_o come_v and_o consult_v with_o a_o divine_a sir_n think_v you_o not_o i_o have_v a_o extraordinary_a call_n to_o knock_v down_o these_o image_n do_v you_o think_v it_o yes_o sir_n than_o i_o know_v you_o have_v not_o for_o if_o you_o have_v have_v a_o extraordinary_a call_n than_o you_o will_v have_v have_v a_o assurance_n too_o from_o god_n that_o he_o have_v call_v you_o so_o that_o if_o there_o be_v a_o infallible_a revelation_n there_o be_v a_o certain_a evidence_n go_v along_o with_o it_o note_n hence_o i_o conclude_v many_o people_n that_o talk_v so_o much_o of_o revelation_n have_v not_o these_o extraordinary_a revelation_n because_o they_o have_v not_o these_o certainty_n but_o then_o there_o be_v also_o a_o spirit_n of_o wisdom_n and_o revelation_n that_o paul_n pray_v for_o for_o all_o his_o ephesian_n in_o the_o 1._o ephesian_n 17._o 18._o that_o their_o eye_n may_v be_v open_v by_o the_o spirit_n of_o wisdom_n and_o revelation_n in_o the_o knowledge_n of_o christ_n that_o they_o may_v know_v the_o hope_n of_o their_o call_n but_o what_o these_o be_v for_o ourselves_o and_o whereas_o the_o other_o revelation_n to_o public_a person_n be_v extraordinary_a one_o and_o that_o other_o may_v have_v discovery_n and_o other_o be_v to_o be_v oblige_v to_o observe_v they_o as_o suppose_v i_o or_o you_o or_o any_o particular_a saint_n in_o this_o congregation_n we_o shall_v go_v to_o prayer_n and_o read_v a_o chapter_n and_o it_o may_v be_v have_v a_o hint_n a_o beam_n of_o light_n that_o we_o understand_v this_o in_o read_v of_o a_o chapter_n that_o we_o never_o see_v before_o though_o we_o read_v it_o a_o hundred_o time_n i_o will_v bless_v god_n this_o be_v a_o new_a light_n god_n come_v in_o to_o i_o and_o give_v i_o a_o degree_n of_o the_o spirit_n of_o wisdom_n and_o revelation_n but_o what_o be_v the_o difference_n now_o here_o be_v the_o grand_a mistake_n among_o many_o man_n and_o i_o desire_v it_o may_v be_v right_o apprehend_v apostle_n this_o revelation_n i_o bless_v god_n for_o may_v be_v of_o good_a use_n to_o i_o but_o this_o be_v no_o oblige_v rule_n and_o light_n for_o other_o as_o the_o apostle_n be_v when_o their_o revelation_n be_v extraordinary_a if_o you_o will_v say_v i_o have_v this_o light_n and_o you_o must_v follow_v my_o light_n here_o you_o be_v mistake_v unless_o you_o be_v a_o public_a person_n for_o what_o be_v thy_o revelation_n here_o that_o light_n that_o god_n be_v please_v to_o give_v thou_o be_v for_o the_o satisfaction_n of_o thy_o soul_n or_o it_o may_v be_v for_o thy_o own_o guidance_n but_o not_o oblige_v and_o impose_v upon_o other_o and_o this_o be_v a_o grand_a deceit_n now_o a_o day_n when_o many_o a_o honest-hearted_a christian_n for_o so_o i_o believe_v many_o of_o they_o be_v very_o honest-hearted_a and_o have_v much_o communion_n with_o god_n and_o receive_v many_o good_a hint_n from_o he_o in_o prayer_n and_o read_v of_o the_o scripture_n and_o attend_v upon_o ordinance_n if_o they_o will_v make_v use_n of_o this_o to_o themselves_o well_o and_o good_a if_o the_o lord_n prosper_v they_o in_o it_o but_o if_o they_o will_v come_v and_o say_v i_o have_v have_v this_o revelation_n and_o you_o must_v believe_v as_o i_o believe_v and_o do_v as_o i_o do_v because_o god_n have_v show_v i_o such_o thing_n there_o brother_n you_o be_v mistake_v for_o god_n give_v thou_o a_o revelation_n not_o to_o propose_v a_o new_a rule_n that_o thou_o shall_v impose_v upon_o other_o as_o he_o do_v to_o the_o apostle_n that_o be_v person_n extraordinary_o act_v assist_v and_o direct_v and_o have_v a_o commission_n for_o that_o purpose_n but_o he_o give_v thou_o this_o private_a discovery_n for_o thy_o own_o private_a satisfaction_n and_o advantage_n and_o if_o thou_o use_v it_o to_o that_o purpose_n thou_o have_v much_o cause_n to_o rejoice_v in_o it_o and_o bless_v god_n for_o it_o object_n but_o it_o may_v be_v you_o will_v object_v and_o say_v but_o i_o must_v make_v use_n of_o such_o revelation_n i_o must_v name_v the_o word_n i_o will_v to_o god_n there_o be_v no_o occasion_n for_o it_o as_o the_o antiscripturist_n speak_v man_n that_o dispute_v against_o the_o scripture_n and_o will_v not_o allow_v the_o scripture_n to_o be_v the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o disparage_v they_o in_o comparison_n of_o their_o revelation_n a_o strange_a thing_n if_o they_o consider_v that_o place_n in_o peter_n they_o have_v a_o revelation_n indeed_o they_o have_v see_v and_o hear_v a_o voice_n in_o the_o mount_n in_o the_o 2._o peter_n 1._o 19_o we_o say_v he_o have_v a_o more_o sure_a word_n of_o prophecy_n whereunto_o you_o do_v well_o to_o take_v heed_n a_o more_o sure_a word_n of_o prophecy_n when_o he_o compare_v a_o voice_n in_o the_o mount_n from_o heaven_n yet_o he_o call_v it_o a_o more_o sure_a word_n of_o prophecy_n scripture_n whereunto_o you_o do_v well_o that_o you_o take_v heed_n as_o to_o a_o light_n that_o shine_v in_o a_o dark_a place_n till_o the_o day_n dawn_n and_o the_o daystar_n arise_v in_o your_o heart_n not_o as_o they_o will_v expound_v it_o not_o that_o you_o must_v take_v heed_n to_o the_o sure_a word_n of_o prophecy_n till_o jesus_n christ_n come_v into_o your_o heart_n and_o then_o throw_v away_o the_o scripture_n o_o most_o rot_a and_o unsavoury_a and_o i_o dare_v say_v a_o ungodly_a exposition_n but_o you_o do_v well_o to_o take_v heed_n to_o those_o discovery_n that_o be_v make_v in_o the_o prophetical_a scripture_n in_o the_o

you_o that_o will_v say_v revelation_n must_v be_v our_o rule_n because_o the_o scripture_n be_v so_o dark_a and_o you_o do_v not_o understand_v the_o translation_n you_o do_v not_o know_v they_o

a_o very_a good_a hint_n that_o austin_n have_v if_o so_o be_v there_o be_v two_o diverse_a place_n of_o scripture_n and_o wherein_o there_o be_v divers_a read_n whether_o the_o old_a copy_n or_o
