2 Chron. 2.55. The Scribes of Jabez are by some counted Levites, and by others Kenit, Proselites, but against the Letter of the Text, which says they were Sons of Salma, the Son of Caleb junior, Grandchild to Caleb the Great. From which I observe, first, that tho their Critical Office began with Ezra, yet as Transcribers and Copiers, they began with Moses and Caleb. 2ly. According to Saili in the Art, not only Egypt (as F. Simon says) but Babylon (Esth. 3.) and every other State had them, yet none like Israel, who receiv'd the Art in a more excellent manner with the Law; Euseb. Nierem. 3ly. That (against F. Simon and others subtily enervating the Prophetical Authority of the Scriptures) Scribe and Prophet are not to be confounded; there is no Man a Prophet but by Accommodation (as Ambr. or Hilar. An. 380. in Eph. 4.11. Interpretes nunc Prophetae dicuntur; Tertul. Thesaurus sacer Corban, eleemosynae sacrificium, mensa altare, pastor Sacerdos, vet Archisynagogus, diaconus Levita) except Persons inspired of God, Deut. 18.22. 1 Sam. 3.20. vide Dr. Pocock de porta Mosis. 4ly. 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. Ap. 2dâ, NONLATINALPHABET. Clem. Alex. Lib. 3. cap. 11. in the Epist. to the Corinth. Paul speaks of Prophetick Gifts, for he knew they had that Gift. Chrysost. in 1 Cor. 12.28. he that prophesies, speaks all from the Spirit, &c. 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 indanger that infallible Foundation of Prophets, Eph. 2.20. on which we are built, and which is more sure than any Human Testimony, Joh. 5.36, 39. 2 Pet. 1.19. |
