A80058	A whip of small cords, to scourge Antichrist (sitting in the temple of God, and exalting himself above, and opposing himself against all that is called God) out of the temple of God; and clearing up the way for the receiving in of the Lord Jesus Christ in his glorious power in and over the church; now exercised in the working of miracles, gifts of healings, and other extraordinary gifts. With the knot at the end of the whip. Whereunto is added, the sheerer sheer'd, and casheer'd; the shaver shav'd, & the grinder ground. By Matthew Coker, being apostolicus propheta, & propheticus apostolus; ut baptista severus, Christi præcursor; baptismate spiritûs baptizatus; Antichristi & antispiritûs antithetos oppositus; necnon angelus: non evanus, (qui vanus) sed evangelicus.

measurable_o answer_v to_o the_o grace_n give_v and_o receive_v quest_n 2_o then_o none_o can_v have_v those_o gift_n but_o he_o or_o they_o that_o have_v such_o grace_n give_v answ_n none_o can_v for_o it_o be_v not_o a_o injunction_n and_o command_n to_o man_n to_o believe_v so_o far_o as_o to_o the_o obtain_n of_o those_o gift_n it_o be_v enough_o to_o believe_v to_o salvation_n quest_n 3_o

according_a to_o the_o opinion_n of_o many_o they_o have_v cease_v but_o according_a to_o the_o faith_n of_o the_o church_n it_o can_v be_v presume_v that_o any_o member_n will_v say_v those_o gift_n be_v cease_v which_o be_v in_o christ_n the_o head_n from_o that_o time_n especial_o that_o he_o ascend_v into_o heaven_n and_o so_o ever_o since_o cease_v indeed_o as_o to_o the_o great_a operation_n

that_o believe_v that_o that_o same_o spirit_n shall_v be_v give_v more_o and_o more_o in_o the_o late_a day_n till_o time_n last_o day_n after_o which_o in_o eternity_n we_o shall_v live_v in_o and_o

as_o when_o night_n come_v we_o say_v day_n cease_v till_o the_o sun_n return_v again_o to_o the_o east_n so_o in_o the_o night_n of_o ignorance_n schism_n and_o division_n time_n of_o error_n and_o

again_o from_o whence_o they_o ascend_v up_o and_o then_o those_o gift_n appear_v more_o and_o more_o as_o fast_o as_o the_o contrary_n flee_v away_o quest_n 6_o whether_o it_o have_v be_v hold_v
