Acts19:6

6 And when Paul had laid his hand[illegible: 1 letter] upon them, the holy Ghost came on them; and they spake with tongues and prophesied.

Thereby Ordaining and Authorizing of them to preach the Gospel.

In those extraordinary Gifts of Tongues, &c. whereby they were sitted to preach the Gospel unto any Nation or People unto whom they should be sent.

They Prophesied, either in its proper sense, being enabled to foretel things that were to [illegible: 2 letters]me; or in a larger and more improper sense, praising and magnifying of God, and declaring the hidden Mysteries of the Gospel; expounding the Scriptures; especially the Prophesies concerning Christ, as 1 Cor. 14.1.
