the_o bishop_n join_v his_o right_a hand_n with_o the_o other_o priest_n upon_o the_o head_n of_o the_o ordain_v in_o this_o opinion_n morinus_n be_v singular_a for_o i_o find_v no_o author_n that_o

who_o be_v a_o better_a historian_n than_o divine_a in_o opposition_n to_o all_o other_o author_n wherefore_o my_o first_o answer_n be_v that_o this_o imposition_n of_o hand_n which_o morinus_n

the_o divine_n be_v whole_o against_o it_o assert_v it_o to_o be_v only_o a_o accidental_a ceremony_n preparative_n to_o the_o collation_n of_o order_n but_o not_o at_o all_o belong_v to_o the_o essence_n of_o it_o for_o the_o great_a part_n of_o divine_n and_o common_a persuasion_n of_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n admit_v no_o imposition_n of_o hand_n at_o all_o as_o belong_v to_o the_o substance_n of_o ordination_n but_o place_n the_o whole_a essence_n thereof_o in_o the_o touch_v the_o instrument_n and_o their_o form_n other_o that_o allow_v to_o the_o imposition_n of_o hand_n a_o partial_a concurrence_n together_o with_o the_o tradition_n of_o the_o vessel_n yet_o none_o of_o they_o make_v choice_n of_o this_o imposition_n of_o hand_n but_o they_o all_o attribute_v this_o

hand_n and_o the_o prayer_n that_o accompany_n it_o as_o the_o total_a and_o complete_a essence_n and_o substance_n thereof_o they_o will_v thereby_o render_v the_o exhibit_v of_o the_o instrument_n

and_o since_o it_o be_v usual_a with_o our_o great_a redeemer_n to_o speak_v by_o allegory_n parable_n by_o trope_n and_o figure_n it_o be_v most_o likely_a he_o speak_v so_o here_o which_o be_v
