Of the Preaching of the Word.
There are two parts of Prophecy: Preaching of the Word, and Conceiving of Prayers.
THere are two parts of Prophecie: Preaching of the Word, and Conceiuing of Prayers.
For in speaking there are only two duties of the Prophet, that is of the Minister of the word; to wit, Preaching of the word, and Praying unto God in the name of the people. Rom. 12. Having prophecy, let us prophecy according to the *proportion of faith. Gen. 20. 7. Deliver the man his wife again, for he is a Prophet: and when he shall pray for thee, thou shalt live. For this cause the word (Prophecy) is given also to prayers. 1. Chron. 25. 1. The sons of Asaph, ⟨p. 3⟩and Heman and Jeduthun, who were singers, prophesied with Harps, with Vials, and with cymbals.
