Again, they say, Phinehas hslew Zimr• and Cosby with Gods approbation,2 though he was no Magistrate: and therefore works not commanded of God, may be acceptable unto him. Ans. Though Phinehas had not any outward commandment, yet he had that which was answerable thereto; to wit, an extraordinary instinct by the spirit, whereby he was carried to do that fact; which was as much, as if God had given him an express commandment. And so we may say of the Ministry of sundry ancient Prophets, who by extraordinary instinct were moved thereunto: and upon this ground did iElijah slay Baals Prophets.
