Two discourses concerning the Holy Spirit, and His work the one, Of the Spirit…

Secondly, They were such as consisted in Extraordinary Endowments and Improvements of the Faculties of the Souls or Minds of Men; such as Wisdom, Knowledge, Utterance, and the like. Now where these were bestowed on any in an Extraordinary manner, as they were on the Apostles and Evangelists, they differed only in Degree from them that are ordinary, and still continued; but are of the same kind with them; whereof we shall treat afterward. Now whereas all these Gifts of both sorts, are expressly and distinctly enumerated, and set down by our Apostle in one place, I shall consider them as they are there proposed by him.

(§ 2.) 1 COR. 12. 7, 8, 9, 10, 11. But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every Man to profit ⟨p. 164⟩withal. For to one is given by the Spirit the word of Wisdom; to another the word of Knowledge by the same Spirit; to another Faith by the same Spirit; to another the Gifts of Healing by the same Spirit; to another the working of Miracles; to another Prophecy; to another discerning of Spirits; to another divers kinds of Tongues; to another the Interpretation of Tongues: But all these worketh that one and self-same Spirit; dividing to every one severally as he will. The general Concernments of this passage in the Apostle were declared, and the context opened, at the beginning of our Discourse on this subject. I shall only now consider the especial Spiritual Gifts that are here enumerated by the Apostle, which are Nine in number, laid down promiscuously without respect unto any order or dependence of one upon another; although it is probable that those first placed, were the principal, or of principal use in the Church.
