Penmen

a clear appreciation for the true simplicity of the Bible and praise its "penmen" in terms close to those employed to describe original genius. ❋ Aaron Hill (1717)

Like so many of us, hopeful ones, hopeless ones, poets and petty penmen, who worked as bartenders, librarians, substitute teachers, anything. ❋ Unknown (2009)

Throughout this week, the two former presidential penmen will preview the big speeches at the Republican Convention in St. Paul, Minn., and analyze what worked-and what didn't-after the fact. ❋ Unknown (2008)

It was a risk, bringing still more penmen who had not been checked beforehand-across an unstable Portal, but the gain was worth the risk. ❋ Lackey, Mercedes (1995)

But what! do the holy penmen of the Scriptures make lexicons, or play the schoolmasters, that they should only teach that the Syriac word Cepha signifies in the Greek language a stone; and Tabitha, Dorcas, that is, a goat? ❋ 1602-1675 (1979)

But supposing there were any credit to be had to this passage, were the sacred penmen any way concerned in these curses and imprecations? ❋ 1602-1675 (1979)

The other story he tells us in his Life of Constantine: he brings in Constantine writing thus to him: "I think good to signify to your prudence, that you would take care that fifty volumes of those Scriptures, whose preparation and use you know so necessary for the church, and which beside may be easily read and carried about, may, by very skilful penmen, be written out in fair parchment." ❋ 1602-1675 (1979)

When they begin to call darkness light, they will ere long call light darkness; by which means our eyes have seen men of their own accord laying down the weapons wherewith at first they fought against opposers, and taking up them which were used against themselves; as hath happened more than once to penmen, both in our own and our neighbour nation. ❋ 1616-1683 (1968)

"The church" may be taken either for the universality of believers in all places of the world, so as to comprehend private saints as well as public officers, people as well as pastors, and those of former ages as well as the present, -- prophets themselves, and apostles, and penmen of the ❋ 1616-1683 (1968)

Unity in the Scripture is so pressed, so commanded, and commended, that not to breathe after it argues a heart acted by another spirit than that which moved the holy penmen thereof. ❋ 1616-1683 (1968)

When the Holy Ghost gave new revelations of old unto the prophets and penmen of the Scripture by immediate inspiration, he did therein and therewith communicate unto them an infallible evidence that they were from God; and when he doth illuminate our minds in the knowledge of what is revealed, he doth therein himself bear witness unto, and assure us of, the truth which we do understand. ❋ 1616-1683 (1967)

That we stand not in need of any new divine afflations, or immediate prophetical inspirations, to enable us to understand the Scripture, or the mind and will of God as revealed therein; neither did the prophets or holy penmen of the Scripture learn the mind of God in the revelations made unto them, and by them unto the church, merely from the divine inspiration of them. ❋ 1616-1683 (1967)

So he taught the prophets and apostles, and all the penmen of the ❋ 1616-1683 (1967)

I reckon this as a distinct gift from prophecy in general, or rather, a distinct species or kind of prophecy: for many prophets there were divinely inspired who yet never wrote any of their prophecies, nor any thing else for the use of the church; and many penmen of the Scripture were no prophets, in the strict sense of that name. ❋ 1616-1683 (1967)

It is, therefore, the revelation made by the Spirit unto the apostles and penmen of the scripture of the New Testament, -- who were acted by the Holy Ghost in like manner as were the holy men of old, 2 Pet.i. 21, -- which the apostle intendeth, and not the illumination and teaching of believers in the knowledge of the mysteries by them revealed, whereof the apostle treateth in these words. ❋ 1616-1683 (1967)

His argument proceeds on the supposition that, by a continuous miracle, extending over ages, every point and letter of Scripture have been indubitably preserved as they came from the inspired penmen. ❋ 1616-1683 (1967)

And this is supposed to be of the same nature with the revelation made unto the prophets and penmen of the Scripture; for it is neither an external proposition of truth nor an internal ability to assent unto such a proposition, and besides these there is no divine operation in this kind but an immediate prophetical inspiration or revelation. ❋ 1616-1683 (1967)

Our assertion is confirmed by the uniform practice of the prophets and apostles, and all the penmen of the Scripture, in proposing those divine revelations which they received by immediate inspiration from ❋ 1616-1683 (1967)
