gyfâ—es yet but one spirite And there are differences of administrations and yet but one Lorde And there are diuers maners of operaâ—ions and yet but one God whiche worketh all thinges that are wroughte in all creatures The giftes of the spirit are geuen to euerye manne to profyt the congregation To one is geeuen thorowe the spirite the vtteraunce of wysedome To an other is geuen the vtteraunce of knowledge by the same spirite To an other is geuen fayth by the same spirite To an other the giftes of healinge by the same spirit To an other power to doe miracles To an other prophecye To an other iudgemente of sprites To an other dyuers tonges To an other the interpretation of of tonges And these al worketh euen the self same spirit Diuidinge to euerye manne seuerall gifâ—s â—uâ—n as he wyll For as the bodye is one and hathe manye membâ—rs and all be mâ—mbers of one bodye thoughe thâ—y be manye yet are but one bodye euen so is Christ. For in sue spirite arâ— we baptised to make one bodye whether we be Iewes or gentiles whether we be bond or free and haue all droncke of one syirit For the body is not one member but many yf the foote saye I am not the hand therfore I am not of the bodye is he therefore not of the bodye And if the eare saye I am not the eie therfore I am not of the body is he therfore not of the body Yf all the bodye were the eye where were then the eare Yf all were hearinge wher were the smellinge But now â—athe God desposed the members euerye one of them in the body at his owne pleasure If they were all one member where were the body now are ther manye members yet but one bodye And the eye can not saye vnto the hande I haue no neede of the nor the heade also to the fete I haue no neede of you Ye rather a greate deale those members of the bodye whiche seme to be moste feble are moste necessarye And vpon those members of the bodye whiche we thinke least honest put we most honestye on And our vâ—godlye parties haue moste beautye on For our honeste members nede it not But god hath so disposed the bodye and hath geuen mooste honoure to that parte whiche lacked least there shoulde be anye strife in the bodye but that the members shoulde indifferentlye care one for an other And if one member suffer all suffer with him if one member be had in honoure all members be gladde also Ye are the body of Christ and members one of an other And God hath also ordayned in the congregation firste the Apostels Secondaryelye prophettes Thirdelye teachers then them that do miracles after that the giftes of healinge helpers gouernoures diuersitye of tounges Interpreters of tonges Are all Apostels Are all Prophettes Are all teachers Are all doers of myracles Haue all the gyftes of healynge Doe all speake with tonges Do all interprete ¶ Yet of the selfe same matter and of the comparison of one gyfte to an other And of the vse and profytte that commeth of them Capit 42. COuet spirituall gyftes and most chieflye for to prophesys For he that speaketh with tonges speaketh not vnto men but vnto god for no maÌ„ heareth him how be it in y e spirit he speaketh misteries but prophesieth speaketh vnto menne to edifyinge to exhortation and to comforte He that speaketh with tonges profiteth him selfe he that prophesyeth edifyeth the congregation I would that ye all speake with tongs but rather that ye prophesyed For greater is he that prophesieth then he that speaketh wyth tonges except be expounde it also that the congregation maye haue edifyinge Nowe brethren if I come to you speakinge wyth tonges what shall I profytte you excepte I speake vnto you other by reuelation or knowledge or prophesyinge or doctrine Moreouer when things without life geue sounde whether it be a pype or an harpe excepte they make a destinction in the sounds how shal it be knowen what is pyped or what is harped And also if the trumpe geue an vncertayne voyce who shall prepare him selfe to fyght Euen so likewise when ye speake with tonges except ye speake wordes that haue signifycation howe shall it be vnderstande what is spoken For ye shall but speake in the ayre Manye kindes of voyces are in the worlde and none of them are without signification If I know not what the voice meaneth I shall be vnto him that speaketh an aliente and he that speaketh shal be an alient vnto me Wherfore let him that speaketh with tonges pray that â—e maye interprete also For elleâ— if thou blessest with the spirite howe shall â—e that occupyeth the roume of the vnlearned saye amen at the geuinge of thankes seinge he vnderstandeth not what thou sayest Thou verelye geuest thankes well but the other is not edifyed I thanke my God I speake with tounges more then ye all Yet I â—adde leuer in the congregation to speake fyue wordes with my mynde to the information of other rather then ten thousande wordes with the tonges In the law it is written with other tonges and with other lippes wyll I speake vnto thys people and yet for all that they wyll not heare mee sayeth the Lorde Wherefore tonges are for a sygne not to them that beleue but to them that beleue not Contrarye wyse prophesyinge serueth not for them that beleue not but for them whiche beleue Yf therefore when al the church and congregation is come together and al speake with tonges there come in they that are vnlearned or they whiche beleue not wyll they not saye that ye are oute of your wytâ—es But and if all prophecye and there come in one that beleue the not or one vnlearned he is rebuked of all men and is iudged of euerye manne and so are the secretes of his heart opened and so falleth he doâ—ne on his face and woorshippeth God and saieth that God is wyth you in dede How is it then brethren when ye come together euerye man hathe hys songe hathe his doctrine hath his tounge hath his reuelation hath his interpretation Let all thynges be done vnto â—dyfinge Yf any man speake with tonges let it be two at once or at the mooste three at once and that by course and let an other interprete it But if there be no interpreter let him kepe silence in the congregation and let him speake to him selfe and to god Let the prophetes speake two at once or thre at once and let other iudge Yf anye reuelation be made â—o an other that sytteth by let the fyrste holde his peace for ye may all prophecy one by one that all maye learne and all maye haue coumforâ—e For tâ—e spyrites of the prophettes are in the power of the prophettes For God is not causer of stryfe but of peace as he is in all other congregations of sainctes Wherefore breethren couet to prophecy and forbyd not â—o speake with tonges
