A79512	Preaching vvithout ordination or, A treatise proving the lawfulnesse of all persons, of what degree, ranke, or trade soever, being inabled with sufficient guifts and qualifications from God by his spirit, to preach and set forth the Gospel, though no minister nor any other officer in the church of God.

to_o affirm_v be_v very_o absurd_a and_o than_o for_o these_o reason_n because_o it_o be_v never_o hear_v of_o nor_o in_o all_o the_o write_a word_n of_o god_n hint_v at_o especial_o concern_v this_o church_n of_o the_o corinth_n that_o the_o whole_a body_n of_o they_o be_v extraordinary_o guift_v 2._o because_o the_o apostle_n do_v restrain_v woman_n from_o preach_v or_o other_o speak_v in_o the_o church_n from_o whence_o it_o be_v plain_a 4.24_o luke_n 2.36_o exod._n 15_o 20._o judg._n 4.24_o that_o this_o prophesy_v be_v ordinary_a and_o lie_v in_o common_a to_o all_o the_o servant_n

this_o ground_n that_o they_o be_v not_o officer_n ordain_v nor_o extraordinary_o guift_v because_o the_o apostle_n oppose_v woman_n to_o man_n sex_n to_o sex_n and_o not_o woman_n officer_n or_o extraordinary_a guifted_a man_n for_o than_o i_o conceive_v the_o apostle_n will_v nor_o have_v aid_n let_v your_o woman_n keep_v silence_n in_o the_o church_n for_o it_o be_v not_o permit_v for_o they_o to_o speak_v but_o the_o apostle_n will_v have_v aid_n let_v your_o woman_n keep_v silence_n in_o the_o church_n because_o they_o be_v no_o officer_n nor_o have_v any_o ordination_n not_o any_o

as_o before_o mind_a but_o because_o of_o the_o command_n of_o god_n they_o be_v to_o be_v under_o obedience_n and_o to_o learn_v in_o silence_n for_o it_o be_v a_o shame_n for_o woman_n to_o speak_v in_o the_o church_n 3._o because_o the_o apostle_n exhort_v that_o the_o church_n shall_v judge_v of_o the_o doctrine_n that_o these_o prophet_n or_o preacher_n shall_v teach_v as_o appear_v by_o

extraordinary_a can_v or_o may_v err_v be_v to_o weaken_v and_o shake_v great_o the_o ground_n and_o pillar_n of_o our_o faith_n and_o if_o they_o may_v err_v than_o the_o apostle_n and_o if_o in_o
