The VVoman learning in Silence OR THE MYSTERIE OF THE Womans Subiection TO HER HUSBAND As also The Daughter prophesying wherein the Lord hath and is fulfilling that he spake by the Prophet Joel I will poure out my Spirit upon all Flesh c. Given forth by George Fox Quench not the Spirit Despise not Prophesying LONDON Printed for Thomas Simonds at the sign of the Bul and Mouth neer Aldersgate 1656. THE VVOMAN LEARNING IN SILENCE c. LEt your women learn in silence with all subjection here is a silent learning a learning in silence I suffer not a woman to Teach nor to usurp Authority over the man but to be silent there she is to learn in the silence and not to usurp Authority over the man but ask her Husband at home Gal. 5.18 That which usurps Authority the Law takes hold on but if you be led of the spirit then you are not under the Law So I permit not a Woman to speak in the Church as saith the Law So let the Women learn in silence with all subjection But I suffer not a Woman to usurp Authority over the man but be in all silence for Adam was formed then Eve and Adam was not deceived but the woman was in the Transgression Read 1 Tim. 2. Nevertheless she shall be saved in child-bearing if she continue in faith and charity and holiness with sobriety Let your women keep silence in the Church for it is not permitted for them to speak but they are commanded to be under obedience as also saith the Law the women which are to be under obedience and to be silent and not to speak in the Church as also saith the Law which doth not permit but Christ in the Male and in the Female is one which makes free from the Law I will poure out my spirit upon Sons and Daughters and they shall prophesie And if they will learn any thing let them ask their Husbands at home for it is a shame for a woman to speak in the Church i Cor. 1.21 that which the Law forbids and commands silence it is a shame to suffer them to speak in the Church VVhat came the VVord of God out from you or came it unto you only Paul according to the measure given to him 2 Pet. 3. in all his Epistles speaking in them of things which some are hard to be understood which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest as they do also the other Scriptures to their own destruction You therefore beloved seeing you know these things beware least you also be led away with the error of the wicked and fall from your own stedfastness but grow in grace and the knowledg of our Lord Jesus Christ who is the end of the Law for righteousness sake Peter which was unlearned in the Letter yet learned of Christ sayes Such as were unlearned who wrest the Scriptures and the Epistles being unlearned The Scribes Pharisees great Rabbies and Doctors knew not the Scriptures being not learned of Christ him who was the life of the prophets and the end of the Law whom Peter was learned in knew and preached whom they knew not So here the unlearned who was in the life confounded all the learned out of the life who learned of him by whom the world was made who comprehended all the worlds learning that was in the world so the unlearned wrest they are to learn in silence and not to speak as saith the law but learn of their husband at home Christ who makes free from the Law nevertheless she shall be saved by child-bearing Christ in the Male and Christ in the Female Husbands love your Wives and be not bitter against them Wives submit your selves first to your Husbands as unto the Lord The Husband is the head of the Wife even as Christ is the head of the church and is the Saviour of the body Therefore as the church is subject to Christ Eph. 5. so let the Wives be subject to their own Husbands in every thing Husbands love your Wives even as Christ loved the church and gave himself for it that he might sanctifie and cleanse it by the washing of water by the Word that he might present it a glorious church without spot or wrinckle or any such thing that it should be holy without blemish So ought men to love their Wives as their own bodies he that loveth his Wife loveth himself for no man ever hated his own flesh but nourished it and cherished it even as the Lord the church for we are Members of his body of his flesh and of his bones for this cause shall a man leave his Father and Mother and be joyned to his Wife and they twain shall be one flesh This is a great mystery I speak concerning Christ and the church He that hath an ear let him hear this great mystery now the unlearned men wrest it and the unstablished who know not this great mystery you that are ignorant of the Lords work and the voice of his prophets who are wondring at the prophesying of the daughters who make your selvs ignorant of the Scriptures and are wondering at the Lords Prophets his Daughters which Ioel the Lords Prophet which spoke from the Lord and saith the Lord to him I am the Lord your God and none else and my people shall never be ashamed It shall come to pass after those dayes I will pour forth my spirit upon all flesh and your Sons and your Daughters shall prophesie and your old men shal dream dreams and young men shall see visions and also upon the Servants and upon the Handmaids in those dayes wil I poure out my spirit saith the Lord Here all may see the Spirit of the Lord not limited but upon the handmaids the servants is the Lords Spirit poured to be poured many thousands of servants handmaids witness the Spirit of the Lord poured upon them the word of the Lord fulfilled upon the sons daughters wil the Lord pour out his spirit they shal prophesie and many daughters sons and young men and old men witness the spirit of the Lord upon them poured out that visions are seen old men dream dreams yong men see visions their sons their daughters do prophesy Ioel 2.28 in Act. 2. the Apostles there do gather together waiting upon the Lord upon whom the holy Ghost fell among them that were to wait for the Spirit This Prophesie of Ioel they saw the fulfilling of which to the world they were as men drunk and so here the Apostles witnessed the fulfilling of the Prophets who are witnesses of Christ whom the Apostles did give testimony of did speak of the daughters prophesying Phillip had four daughters that did prophesie which the Apostle did not forbid and saith the Apostle dispise not prophesying here the prophet Ioel was not against the daughters prophesying nor the Apostles were not against it but said dispise not
