The testimony of the holy Ghost, throughly persuading and convincing mens minds concerning the truth of Prophetical doctrine. Such Prophets were Adam, Seth, Noah, ⟨p. 230⟩Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Joseph, and others, and afterwards Moses, and they who succeeded him among the people of Israel. A Prophet of the New Testament specially so called is a person immediately called of God, 1who, by divine instinct, and through special revelation of the holy Ghost, doth certainly fore-see and fore-show things to come: As were the Apostles, and Agabus, and the Disciples, telling Paul through the spirit, that he should not go up to Jerusalem, &c. A Prophet of the New Testament, l••g n•rall, is c•lled a•y, whosoever hath the gift of understanding, expounding and applying the prophecies and writings of the Prophets, who are properly so called, to the present use of •h• church. So is this word used, 1 Corinth. This function and gift of prophesying, that is, of expounding and applying the Scriptures of the Prophets and Apostles to the use of the Church, is at all times necessary: That other of fore-telling things to come, not so: and therefore it is but temporary, and for a time.
