the_o ministry_n of_o the_o word_n be_v not_o necessary_a in_o the_o church_n i_o answer_v that_o there_o be_v nothing_o in_o this_o argument_n or_o reason_n but_o a_o meet_a cavil_v it_o be_v true_a that_o this_o prophesy_v aught_o to_o be_v refer_v to_o the_o kingdom_n and_o come_n of_o jesus_n christ_n &_o that_o the_o gift_n of_o prophesy_v shall_v then_o be_v common_a both_o to_o man_n &_o woman_n to_o old_a &_o young_a &_o to_o be_v short_a to_o all_o estate_n but_o in_o the_o first_o place_n this_o be_v to_o be_v mark_v that_o the_o prophet_n speak_v here_o by_o comparison_n use_v a_o figure_n common_o call_v hyperbole_n that_o be_v to_o say_v a_o manner_n of_o speehe_fw-ge very_a excessive_a because_o of_o our_o wearisomnes_n slackness_n and_o negligence_n for_o he_o do_v not_o present_o promise_v that_o all_o under_o the_o gospel_n from_o the_o first_o to_o the_o last_o shall_v be_v partaker_n of_o this_o gift_n but_o in_o respect_n of_o the_o old_a people_n under_o the_o law_n for_o if_o we_o compare_v the_o estate_n and_o condition_n of_o the_o old_a church_n with_o the_o singular_a treasure_n which_o god_n have_v pour_v out_o and_o give_v unto_o his_o people_n after_o the_o manifestation_n and_o reveal_n of_o jesus_n christ_n we_o shall_v find_v that_o in_o this_o latter_a time_n the_o lord_n have_v spread_v abroad_o and_o pour_v out_o the_o gift_n of_o his_o spirit_n upon_o all_o flesh_n that_o be_v to_o say_v almost_o upon_o all_o man_n when_o as_o under_o the_o law_n a_o very_a small_a number_n be_v partaker_n thereof_o wherefore_o when_o he_o say_v that_o the_o lord_n will_v pour_v out_o his_o spirit_n upon_o all_o flesh_n this_o particle_n or_o word_n all_o be_v not_o here_o take_v in_o his_o proper_a signification_n as_o though_o it_o be_v simple_o and_o altogether_o universal_a but_o be_v indefinite_a and_o must_v be_v refer_v to_o all_o estate_n and_o condition_n of_o people_n and_o not_o to_o every_o singular_a person_n as_o in_o this_o sentence_n of_o s._n paul_n where_o it_o be_v say_v 2.4_o 1._o tim._n 2.4_o that_o god_n will_v have_v all_o man_n to_o be_v save_v that_o be_v to_o say_v all_o person_n of_o what_o

act_n 2.16.17_o act._n 2.16.17_o make_v this_o sense_n manifest_a and_o plain_a unto_o we_o when_o he_o say_v that_o this_o pprophecy_n be_v then_o accomplish_v when_o jesus_n christ_n send_v his_o holy_a spirit_n upon_o the_o apostle_n now_o we_o know_v that_o all_o flesh_n that_o be_v to_o say_v all_o man_n be_v not_o at_o that_o time_n endue_v with_o the_o gift_n of_o pprophecy_n second_o the_o prophet_n speak_v not_o here_o of_o the_o public_a office_n and_o charge_n to_o teach_v but_o of_o the_o particular_a duty_n of_o every_o one_o call_v they_o general_o prophet_n who_o in_o the_o
