4._o peter_n act._n 10._o 15._o about_o the_o call_n of_o the_o gentile_n etc._n etc._n you_o will_v make_v the_o scripture_n itself_o to_o be_v of_o small_a authority_n if_o what_o you_o say_v be_v

for_o all_o extraordinary_a prophecy_n be_v write_v and_o you_o say_v extraordinary_a prophet_n may_v err_v but_o sir_n you_o have_v produce_v no_o example_n of_o such_o err_a in_o matter_n of_o

full_a of_o all_o subtlety_n what_o be_v all_o the_o prophecy_n in_o the_o old_a testament_n then_o if_o extraordinary_a prophet_n may_v err_v in_o their_o prophesying_n yet_o at_o last_o you_o come_v to_o say_v that_o all_o thing_n be_v not_o reveal_v to_o one_o and_o that_o which_o be_v not_o reveal_v to_o one_o may_v be_v to_o another_o that_o be_v truth_n and_o that_o be_v the_o reason_n why_o

edification_n exhortation_n and_o consolation_n etc._n etc._n answ_n 1._o that_o it_o be_v more_o than_o the_o scripture_n affirm_v if_o they_o do_v teach_v in_o this_o way_n of_o prophesy_v 2._o if_o they_o do_v yet_o they_o take_v not_o their_o denomination_n of_o prophet_n from_o this_o kind_n of_o prophesy_v but_o those_o 1_o cor._n 14._o be_v call_v prophet_n upon_o this_o account_n their_o

therefore_o the_o apostle_n render_v the_o reason_n of_o their_o prophesy_n that_o all_o may_v be_v instruct_v and_o all_o may_v be_v comfort_v vers_fw-la 31._o and_o again_o these_o prophet_n be_v such_o as_o need_v direction_n from_o the_o apostle_n as_o to_o the_o manner_n and_o order_n in_o prophesy_v which_o if_o extraordinary_a they_o can_v rather_o have_v direct_v the_o apostle_n as_o agabus_n act._n 21._o 10_o 11._o 3._o you_o say_v it_o be_v object_v that_o the_o apostle_n forbid_v woman_n do_v give_v liberty_n to_o man_n to_o preach_v you_o grant_v by_o way_n of_o concession_n the_o apostle_n forbid_v woman_n and_o enjoin_v man_n to_o preach_v but_o what_o man_n not_o all_o gift_v but_o all_o gift_a and_o call_v i_o say_v all_z that_o be_v gift_v be_v call_v to_o exercise_v gift_n and_o may_v prophesy_v 2._o you_o draw_v the_o argument_n thus_o the_o apostle_n forbid_v woman_n gift_v or_o ungift_v to_o preach_v therefore_o all_o man_n gift_v or_o ungift_v may_v preach_v etc._n etc._n this_o be_v the_o good_a your_o university_n do_v you_o make_v you_o wise_a to_o do_v evil_a and_o pervert_v truth_n to_o draw_v scurrilous_a conclusion_n to_o dishonour_v truth_n and_o its_o servant_n all_o woman_n gift_v or_o ungift_v be_v in_o this_o scripture_n prohibit_v but_o all_o man_n that_o have_v gift_n be_v authorize_v and_o true_o i_o shall_v say_v thus_o much_o too_o

your_o ridiculous_a conclusion_n will_v not_o establish_v you_o you_o conclude_v that_o all_o order_n officer_n member_n in_o the_o church_n above_o minister_n may_v preach_v etc._n etc._n i_o think_v
