A. The fallacy lieth in the word Teachers; there are two sorts of Teachers. 1. Some are publike Teachers, who teach as Officers, au∣thoritatively by vertue of a call. Rom 12. 7. these Teachers must attend on Teaching. Now the Apostle doth not blame them because they were not such Teachers: for he blames women and children, as well as men, for being dull of hearing, &c.
2. Others are private persons, who must teach in a private way; and these the Apostle blames,* 1.1 that when for the time they might have been to full of knowledge▪ that they might have been Teachers of others in a private way, by exhortation, admonition, counsel, and reproof, &c. yet they had need of milk, and to be taught their Catechism, when considering the great means of knowledge, which they had long enjoyed, they might have been fit for stronger meat.
