It was not the intent of the Spirit that a people would not need other people to teach them

Pr. He saith,  the Apostle never bred up any that they needed no man to teach them, page 53.

Answ. And so giveth John the lye, who saith,  Ye need no man to teach you, but as the same anointing teacheth you: And the Apostle, who saith; ye need not say every man to his neighbour, know the Lord, &c. and denies the effectual work of the new Covenant. But all shall know him from the least to the greatest, Hebr.

Ministrial Gifts

Pr. And he saith, Ministeriall gifts are not now to be found in the world, such as the Ministers of the gospel had in the Primitive time.

Answ. Therefore no such ministerial work now as was then, nor any such officers as Pastors, Teachers, &c. as were then!

Answ. He hath preached himselfe to be one of the false spirits which went forth from the Apostles into the world: And yet he saith, Christ is with them to the end of the world. And yet saith there is no hearing of his voyce, nor seeing him, nor handling him; so he hath confounded himself, and shewed to all that he hath quenched the spirit among you all.

The Nature of the Gospel

Pr. He saith,  Is not the gospel an external way, &c.?

Answ. No, the Gospel is a living way which is revealed within, and is the power of God to salvation.

Without form the power of God falls or The power of God preserves the Form.

Pr. He saith, If they can but destroy all formes, the power will fall with it; for the form preserves the power, page 37.

Answ. Contrary to the Apostle; many have the form, but deny the power. The power preserves the forme, sees the end of forms, and destroys them, and brings to see before forms were, where forms are not. For the Apostles who lived in the power, denied the Jewes forms, and Gentiles both, as we do now deny the Popish forms, and yours which you have invented and set up.

The immediate voyce which speaks within, which we never knew.

Pr. And he saith,  there is an immediate voyce which speaks within, which we have never heard, nor do we know it within ourselves experimentally, and we believe and hope that we never shall know it, &c. page 30.

Answ. And so shews, that they never knew the spirit of the Father speaking within them, but follow their own dreams and spirits, and stop their ear against that of God in them; and they blesse themselves from that immediate voyce within, and calls it the voice of the Devil, which is the spirit of inspiration, and the word of God in their hearts, which men must obey and do.

The Scriptures is the voice of Christ

Pr. He saith,  the Scriptures is the voice of Christ to them, &c.

Answ. And Christ said to the them that had the Scriptures, They never heard the voyce of God at any time, to the Pharisees. John 5. For there thou art un-put forth amongst the sheep, and they heard the voyce that gave forth the Scripture, and came to the life, and Christ at the end of them.

The Gospel is the Letter or the Gospel is the Power of God.

Pr. And he saith, the Gospel is the Letter, &c.

Answ. The Apostle saith, it is the power of God; and the letter kils, and many may have the form, and deny the power, and so stand against the Gospel, which is the power of God.
