P. Now this word cannot be there set forth & entertained but only that there be men which have this gift of the holy Ghost to know how to set it forth in such sort as it is meet, as true prophets & ministers of god as the Lord hath also promised unto it, when he said by Moses, and after by Isaiah, ⟨p. 268⟩that he would give to his people, a prophet, in whose mouth he would put his word, and that it should never depart from the mouth of the seed of his people, and that his spirit also should never be separate from it.
