spirit_n of_o pprophecy_n but_o of_o government_n answ_n i_o answer_v i_o shall_v not_o deny_v but_o they_o have_v the_o spirit_n of_o government_n but_o that_o they_o have_v not_o beside_o it_o the_o spirit_n of_o pprophecy_n i_o leave_v by_o the_o wise_a to_o be_v judge_v for_o look_v into_o the_o text_n the_o 26_o verse_n of_o numb_a 11._o and_o if_o we_o will_v not_o be_v wilful_o blind_a we_o

do_v nothing_o but_o concern_v government_n without_o question_n joshuah_n will_v not_o have_v desire_v moses_n to_o forbid_v they_o in_o regard_n that_o god_n have_v make_v know_v that_o he_o will_v take_v off_o the_o spirit_n that_o be_v on_o moses_n and_o give_v it_o unto_o the_o seaventy_n and_o this_o joshuah_n can_v not_o but_o know_v for_o the_o lord_n say_v to_o moses_n in_o the_o 16_o ver_fw-la gather_v unto_o i_o seaventy_fw-la man_n of_o the_o elder_n of_o israel_n who_o thou_o know_v to_o be_v the_o elder_n of_o people_n and_o officer_n over_o they_o now_o from_o hence_o it_o be_v plain_a that_o joshuah_n know_v they_o be_v officer_n that_o be_v magistrate_n and_o if_o in_o point_n of_o government_n it_o be_v that_o which_o they_o do_v than_o i_o conceive_v joshuah_n will_v not_o have_v say_v moses_n forbid_v they_o second_o the_o lord_n say_v i_o will_v come_v down_o and_o talk_v with_o thou_o and_o i_o will_v take_v of_o the_o spirit_n that_o be_v one_o thou_o and_o will_v put_v it_o on_o they_o now_o it_o be_v clear_a in_o the_o scripture_n that_o moses_n have_v not_o only_o a_o spirit_n of_o government_n but_o a_o spirit_n of_o prophecy_n or_o preach_v of_o prayer_n and_o supplication_n 7.37_o exod._n 14.15_o deut._n 18.15_o act._n 7.37_o therefore_o if_o god_n take_v of_o that_o spirit_n that_o be_v upon_o moses_n and_o give_v it_o to_o the_o seaventy_n whereof_o eldad_n &_o medad_n be_v than_o it_o can_v be_v restrain_v only_o to_o government_n but_o it_o must_v extend_v to_o all_o the_o rest_n of_o operation_n and_o work_n of_o it_o as_o to_o prophesy_v or_o preach_v the_o great_a matter_n of_o god_n law_n to_o his_o people_n obj._n but_o some_o may_v further_o object_v and_o say_v these_o be_v officer_n and_o such_o as_o moses_n know_v to_o be_v so_o therefore_o it_o will_v not_o follow_v from_o hence_o that_o all_o may_v preach_v though_o guift_v except_o they_o be_v officer_n as_o these_o be_v answ_n i_o grant_v they_o be_v officer_n in_o the_o commonwealth_n of_o israel_n to_o wit_n magistrate_n but_o what_o be_v this_o to_o the_o thing_n in_o hand_n to_o wit_n preach_v without_o ordination_n for_o there_o be_v no_o
