A51869	Good news to the good women, and to the bad women too that will grow better the like to the men, but here the women are put in the first place, (the which is now out of their place) because this book chiefly treats of the women : shewing what the Scripture saith of the good women, and also what the Scripture saith of the bad women : and for satisfaction to the Jews, herein is proved whose seed it is the serpents head shall bruise.

the time of Christ's Sufferings the Daughters of Jerusalem wept for him Luke 23.28 But the Sons of Jerusalem cryed Crucifie him Crucifie him Verse 21. And Herod with his Men of War sit him at nought and mocked him Verse 11. But the Women that followed Christ stood beholding him all the time of his Crucifixion Mark 15.40 41. Luke 23.49 When all his Disciples forsook him and fled Matt. 26.56 And it was the Women that was first at the Sepulchre where the Body of the Lord was laid early in the Morning when it was yet Dark John 20.1 Matt. 28.1 And So by their Love and Diligence they got the first sight of the Lord after he arose And the Lord sent them to be the first publishers of the Resurrection to his Disciples Matt. 28.10 And it was the Women of Macedonia who first embraced the Faith in that Place For a Vision appeared to Paul in the Night There stood a Man of Macedonia and prayed him saying come over into Macedonia and help us Acts 16 9. Which accordingly he did And he and they that accompanied him thither were in that City abiding certain Days Verse 12. In which time it doth evidently appear they had gotten to themselves Hearers For it is said in the 13. Verse On the Sabbath Day we went out of the City by a River side where Prayer was wont to be made A place chosen Sutable to their purpose that those that embraced the Faith might there be Baptized And we are to take Notice that it was the Women that met there For St. Paul saith We Sat down and spake unto the Women which resorted thither But the Men of the City rose up against them And the Magistrates rent off their clothes and commanded to beat them and when they had laid many Stripes upon them they cast them into Prison Charging the Jaylor to keep them safely Verse 22 23. At which time the Jaylor and all his were convicted and baptized Verse 30 31 33. And Lidia was a Succourer of them both before and after their imprisonment Verse 15 40. And it was the men that pretended to be knowing in the Scriptures that withstood the Apostles Doctrine and stir'd up the devout and Honourable Women and the chief Men of the City Acts 13 50. against St. Paul for declaring the Truth And of the Greeks it is said That the Honnourable Women Believed Acts. 17.12 where by it is signifiyed that there was not many honourable Men that did there believe because there is no mention made of them And that God who for Abrabaws Love and Obedience to him became his exceeding great reward So that for Abrahams sake all the great Blessings promised are to come upon him and his Seed in time to come Gen 12.2 3. Chap. 15. 1. Chap. 22.15 16 17 18. So the Lord will not let the Love of the Women pass unregarded by him Who hath promised that those that Love him should be Beloved of him Pro. 8.17 John 14.21 And the Messiah being the seed of the Woman so as Women with the Tribe of Judah may say 2 Sam 19.42 The King the Lord Christ is near of Kin to us therefore let us prepare and wait and pray for his return that we may be found ready for the Bridegroom of our Souls When as for them that will not prepare of his Supper they shall not have any share Luke 14.24 For of such the Lord saith They shall not tast of his Supper And of Woman came the chief Corner stone And by Man has been lost the right knowledg both of Christ's Kingdom and Throne Therefore God saw good that from his Word Woman should conceive aright how to bring the true knowledg of both again to light And as Zerubabel laid the Foundaaion Stone so his hands finished it Zech. 4.7.9 And accordingly Zerubbabel truth to Woman doth Joyn 1 Esd 4.13 because she was to bring to light that truth which Man had declin'd And that God that caused a Woman Anna by Name to declare in the Temple the Coming of Christ to all them that looked for Redemption in Jerusalem Luke 2.38 When the Scribes and Pharisees understod it not Therefore no wonder that God should now again bring to light the truth of that Doctrine which Man did first Slight Now whereas St. Paul saith 1. Cor. 14.34 Let your Women keep Silence in the Church for it is not permitted unto them to speak Verse 35. And if they will learn any thing Let them ask their Husbands at home These words of St. Paul could have no general reference For many of the Women did embrace the Faith before their Husbands As those of Macedonia did So as had they been to ask their Husbands at home it had been the ready way to have turned them to have been Insidels again But St Paul wrot this to the Church of Corinth where without doubt he found the Men more industrious to understand the Truth and that the Women might be too troublesome to them by asking them too many impertinent Questions in the Church or publick Meetings Therefore he saith Let your Women keep Silence in the Church for it is not permitted unto them to speak but to ask their Husbands at home And whereas St. Paul saith 1 Tim. 2.12 I suffer not a Woman to teach Thereby shewing he spake this from himself And if it is to be taken as here exprest the which I cannot so understand him because then he contradicts himself and also it not being agreeable to the rest of the Scriptures therefore of no force And he desires the Churches to be Followers of him even as he is of Christ 1 Cor. 11 1. But the Churches are to follow none but as they follow Christ But Christ gave no such Command as this of St. Paul but left other Examples as I have before cited And in St Pauls time one Man had Four Daughters Virgins which did Prophesie Acts 21.9 And were they not to speak in the Church which then were in the Believers Houses to whom were they then to declare their Prophesies to And the Women were to instruct and teach their Children and Neighbours and acquaintance in the Truth And St. Paul saith The Elder Women should teach the Younger Women Titus 2.3 4.5 And their Husbands too no doubt if they were Ignorant in the Faith And Timothy knew the Holy Scriptures from a Child being taught by his Mother and Grand-Mother 2 Tim. 1. 5. Chap. 3.15 And Aquila and Priscilla took the learned Apollo to their House Who is said to be Mighty in the Scriptures him they took and instructed in the way of God more perfectly Acts 18.24 26. And St. Paul saith Priscilla and Aquila were his helpers in Christ Jesus Rom. 16.3 And in that Priscilla is put foremost it doth signifie she was the better instructer of the two And likewise the same Apostle wrote to his Yoke-fellow to help those Women which labored with him in the Gospel Phil 4.3 Whereby it doth
