The Notion of secondary prophets, viz. Interpreters by acquired Skill, is of small Probability, and of most dangerous Consequence, Act. 2.27. & 13.1. & 15.32. & 19.6. & 21.9. 1 Cor. 12. & 14. Just. Mart. Apostle 2dâ,. Clem. Alexander Lib. 3. cap. 11. in the Epistle to the Corinth. Paul speaks of Prophetic Gifts, for he knew they had that Gift. Chrysostom in 1 Cor. 12.28. he that prophecies, speaks all from the Spirit, etc. the Subjection of the Spirits to the prophets was to try if of God or not, if a real Inspiration or false Pretence. Vide Anton Van Dale; If we admit of prophets by Pains and ordinary Gifts, we endanger that infallible Foundation of prophets, Ephesians 2.20. on which we Are built, and which is more sure than any Human Testimony, John 5.36, 39. 2 Pet. 1.19.
F. Simon finds three Authors to the five Books of Moses; 1. Himself, Author of the Law and Ceremonies. 2. The Publick Scribes, Authors of the History. 3. Of many Additions, which he falsly concludes to be since added or altered, the later Scribes, who compendized the publick Records. From whence he concludes; we know not what is his, what not. Or, as Du Verse divides the Scripture; 1. Some Divine, i. e. where it says so. 2. Some Humane. 3. Some Prophane, as David 's Curses.

Indeed Mr. Lock denies Ideas innate, but determines not how early they may be conveyed by Senses, neither does he ever pretend to bar Heaven's. Influence from creating Ideas in a Soul where its Case is not a span long, nor its bodily Tools fit for Work.

If from the Mother, the Creator's Influence is more still; but that the Longing is from the Child, not the Mother, we may conclude, first from this, there are not such powerful Appetites in her when not pregnant. 2ly. Suppose immediately bringing forth by it, the Mother longs no more, the Child continues to crave, refuses all things else, most greedily eats that, (tho Food that needs a most strong digestive Disposition) and is easy and satisfied with it.

For, viz. The Elder shall serve the Younger, is by Paul said, ver. 13. to arise from God's Love, and ver. 11. to break forth first in Calling. Or the 11th ver. is the Sense of two Scriptures, Gen. 25.23. and Mal. 1.2. Love is explain'd by Purpose, and Mastery explain'd by Calling. The Spirit of God in Hosea 12.3. applies as little a Story as this Strugling to the Spirit of God as Author, Gen. 25.26. his Hand took hold on Esau 's Heel. Hosea from this most sharply reproves Jacob 's Posterity as degenerating from their Father; You (says he) confederate with the Assyrians, and carry Oil to Egypt for assistance, but Jacob took his Brother by the Heel in the Womb; how entirely did he depend on God's Assistance, how early did he long for the Inheritance, how highly did he esteem the Promises? And he adds another Instance of the same, ver. 4. from Gen. 32.24. from which we may further conclude, if his Victory over the Angel was by Faith, so was his Wrestling with Esau in Faith. Joh. Schmidt draws this Doctrine from it, Infants are capable of the Spirit's Illumination and Operations; for by this Grace he wrestled with Esau.

Josias turned unto God according to all contained in the Law. David had respect unto all God's Precepts, and refrained his Feet from every evil Way, Psal. 119.128. I esteem all thy Precepts concerning all things to be right. Eustathius says, the Law is copulative in the Precept, Love God and thy Neighbour, but disjunctive in the Threat, Do all or die: Mat. 23.32, This ought you to have done, and not left the other undone.

The Clergy's intermedling with the National Affairs, has provoked nursing Fathers to be cruel Step-fathers. The Church's grand Apostacy began together with her Inroads upon the Civil Power: and indeed where two Powers are of equal Extent, that which governs the Mind most, is like to command most; if the one promise Heaven, and threaten Hell, and render it credible to the ignorant; the other only promise Protection from a foreign Power, who will let him be Cobler still if he live peaceably, and threatens only a temporal Death that sometime shortly he must suffer; we may easily guess, and hundreds of Years Experience hath evinced who shall be Slave, who Governour, Pope or Emperour, King or Synod.

The Popish Abuse of pretending to pardon arose from the primitive Practice of absolving from Offences, the Church thereby signifying her Satisfaction; but it's Blasphemy for Man to pretend the other, and Folly for the Sinner to multiply Offences by Confession, when he only violates God's Law, and offends his Holy Eye.

I find the Body of the Tribe of Judah came of him by this Calculation, Judah had but two Sons, Pharez and Zerah, who had any Posterity. 2ly. Pharez had but two Sons, Hezron and Hamul; and Hamul had no Posterity. 3ly. Hezron had but three Sons, the third was Caleb: in short, by Birth he was the tenth Part, or at least the twelfth Part, as Judah was of Israel. But then half of these were cut off, when all above twenty Years of Age were cut off. 2ly. A 10th part were cut off, when Achor the Troubler of Israel was destroyed: and this may be further confirmed from the Genealogies of his Offspring, containing more Families than all the Tribe of Judah beside.

Acts 8.36, 26. As they went on their way, viz. in the Road between Jerusalem and Gaza, they came unto NONLATINALPHABET, aliquid Aquae, some Water: The Journey was 24 Miles. The Question is, whether there was in that Road sufficient Water for the Purpose? They confirm the Objection with this, that Mat. 3. John Baptist, who needed much Water to the legal way, went to Jordan to baptize, when he preached in this Countrey. I answer, 1st. That the Land, Deut. 8.7. was a Land of Brooks and Fountains: and though no Land is more narrowly searched into by Chorographers than it, yet there might be a Place in 24 Miles fit for the Purpose, that is neither in our Maps nor Histories. 2ly. They do mention many not far out of his Road: it is true Isaac 's Wells were further South beyond Gaza, and some Miles out of the Road; and the Well of Siriah, fatal to brave Abner, was too much westward, nor had they been proper: as far West were the Brook of Jeruel, and the Fish-Pools of Hebron. But the Eunuch kept the streight Road, he drove not out of the Way. 3ly. I will then find you three Brooks in this little Journey; first the River of the Philistins, that rose about 2 or 3 Miles from Jerusalem about the Rock Bethzur, or Valley of Rephaim, where the Angel was heard on the Top of the Mulberry Trees; this River was so big, that it made a considerable Stop between the Armies of the Pagans and Israelites in the time of the Maccabees: Now though his Road was by the Head of it, yet there were many Pools in that Place, from thence called Baca, Psal. 84.6. mentioned in no History, who passing through the Valley of Baca, &c. But it may be thought here was too little Space from Jerusalem for a Chariot and Six, to preach a Sermon in; and 2ly, may be Bezor was too far off, being the River that Gaza stood on. We will then fix on Sorek, or Esheol, that came into it, or some Spring about the Head of it, which was in Caleb 's Territories too, which would render it both possible and probable. But the Matter of Fact is struck down by two Witnesses, holy, good, honest Men, who lived next to that Age, of any Testimony we have, who could not be imposed on as to the Circumstances of the Water, the one living at Bethlehem, the other at Caesarea, both on the Confines of the Place. The Persons are Eusebius and Jerome: their Testimony is this; their Design is the Chorography of the Land; their Words in effect agree, and are thus in English: Bethsoron is a Village as we go from Aelia (i. e. Jerusalem ) to Hebron in the 20th Stone ( i. e. two Miles from Hebron ) just by which there is a Spring at the Roots of the Mountain, that is sipped up by the same Ground out of which it bubbles, or boils forth: here was the Eunuch (the great Minister of State to Queen Candace ) baptized by Philip. She was blind of an Eye; it were well for some they were blind of both, to have such Spectacles: She was another Elizabeth for Love to and from her Subjects, and Esteem from others even a Tiberius. The best Conjecture I can make is, that it was Enhakkore, Judg. 15.19. where Sampson was refresh'd with Water: Circumstances agree, for they were very nigh, if not the same. 2ly. Philip was carried to Ashdod down the River, as Sampson came up from it to that Place.
