the_o perfect_a of_o the_o same_o work_n of_o subjection_n these_o reason_n ground_n allege_v by_o i_o to_o prove_v that_o that_o sort_n of_o subjection_n tohand_n heb._n 6.2_o be_v mean_v of_o the_o saint_n suffer_v persecution_n from_o the_o hand_n of_o wicked_a man_n be_v well_o consider_v i_o be_o sure_a will_v prove_v the_o truth_n of_o it_o against_o all_o the_o reason_n that_o can_v be_v bring_v to_o the_o contrary_n as_o touch_v subject_n as_o officer_n all_o the_o saint_n be_v not_o in_o a_o capacity_n nor_o in_o relation_n to_o heal_v and_o as_o for_o that_o sort_n of_o subjection_n do_v in_o order_n to_o the_o receive_v the_o holy_a ghost_n it_o be_v begin_v and_o end_v all_o at_o once_o as_o be_v clear_a from_o act_n the_o 8._o for_o we_o never_o read_v that_o they_o never_o subject_v more_o upon_o that_o account_n and_o the_o same_o you_o affirm_v in_o your_o own_o book_n and_o though_o all_o the_o saint_n be_v not_o in_o a_o capacity_n to_o leave_v the_o first_o step_n or_o degree_n and_o go_v on_o to_o perfection_n in_o point_n of_o subjection_n as_o to_o any_o of_o these_o three_o sort_n viz._n in_o relation_n to_o office_n heal_v and_o receive_v the_o holy_a ghost_n yet_o all_o the_o saint_n be_v in_o a_o full_a capacity_n to_o leave_v the_o first_o degree_n of_o suffering_n from_o the_o hand_n of_o wicked_a man_n and_z as_o occasion_n be_v offer_v go_v on_o to_o perfection_n as_o their_o captain_n and_o leader_n have_v do_v heb._n 2.10_o so_o that_o you_o see_v or_o at_o least_o wise_a may_v see_v that_o it_o be_v clear_a that_o that_o subjection_n to_o lay_v on_o of_o hand_n speak_v of_o heb._n 6.2_o must_v needs_o be_v mean_v of_o suffer_a persecution_n from_o the_o hand_n of_o wicked_a men._n first_o because_o upon_o that_o account_n christ_n and_o his_o apostle_n teach_v it_o second_o because_o upon_o that_o account_n christ_n and_o his_o apostle_n give_v command_v for_o it_o three_o because_o upon_o that_o account_n christ_n and_o his_o apostle_n be_v understand_v four_o because_o the_o greek_a term_n kiron_n heb._n 6.2_o note_n out_o unto_o we_o that_o they_o who_o persecute_v god_n people_n be_v evil_a and_o wicked_a man_n and_o the_o last_o reason_n be_v not_o the_o least_o it_o be_v because_o there_o be_v no_o other_o sort_n or_o kind_n of_o subjection_n lay_v on_o of_o hand_n which_o all_o the_o saint_n be_v in_o a_o capacity_n to_o leave_v the_o foundation_n or_o beginning_n part_n of_o and_o go_v to_o perfection_n to_o high_a degree_n of_o the_o same_o subjection_n but_o it_o may_v be_v some_o may_v question_v how_o all_o the_o saint_n may_v be_v say_v to_o suffer_v by_o lay_v on_o of_o hand_n from_o wicked_a man_n see_v wicked_a man_n by_o way_n of_o stripe_n do_v not_o lay_v their_o hand_n upon_o all_o the_o saint_n answer_n though_o it_o be_v true_a it_o be_v not_o likely_a all_o the_o saint_n shall_v suffer_v stripe_n from_o the_o material_a hand_n of_o wicked_a man_n yet_o if_o the_o saint_n suffer_v imprisonment_n or_o death_n or_o any_o other_o hurt_v by_o mean_n of_o he_o who_o it_o may_v be_v never_o touch_v they_o with_o his_o own_o material_a hand_n they_o may_v be_v say_v to_o suffer_v from_o or_o under_o their_o hand_n as_o in_o jer._n 26.14_o where_o you_o may_v see_v in_o the_o 8_o ver_fw-la that_o jeremiah_n be_v apprehend_v and_o take_v prisoner_n and_o in_o the_o 14._o ver_fw-la he_o say_v unto_o they_o as_o for_o i_o i_o be_o in_o your_o hand_n do_v with_o i_o as_o it_o seem_v good_a unto_o you_o here_o you_o see_v that_o jeremiah_n tell_v they_o that_o he_o be_v in_o their_o hand_n which_o term_v hand_n imply_v nothing_o but_o that_o he_o be_v their_o prisoner_n and_o under_o their_o custody_n not_o that_o he_o can_v be_v proper_o say_v to_o be_v in_o one_o single_a hand_n he_o speak_v to_o many_o man_n and_o so_o act_v 12.1_o 2_o 3._o it_o be_v say_v that_o herod_n the_o king_n stretch_v forth_o hand_n to_o vex_v certain_a of_o the_o church_n and_o have_v kill_v james_n with_o the_o sword_n and_o he_o see_v that_o please_v the_o jew_n he_o proceed_v further_a and_o imprison_v peter_n also_o from_o whence_o it_o be_v clear_a that_o the_o saint_n suffer_v from_o the_o power_n or_o wicked_a plot_n of_o man_n may_v be_v say_v to_o suffer_v from_o or_o under_o their_o hand_n though_o their_o material_a hand_n never_o touch_v they_o for_o no_o man_n will_v conclude_v that_o herod_n stretch_v out_o the_o hand_n of_o his_o body_n can_v vex_v the_o church_n or_o that_o he_o kill_v james_n or_o imprison_v peter_n with_o his_o own_o material_a hand_n but_o on_o the_o contrary_a be_v set_v on_o work_n through_o malice_n by_o his_o power_n command_v his_o servant_n to_o do_v it_o so_o you_o see_v the_o saint_n may_v proper_o be_v say_v to_o suffer_v under_o the_o hand_n of_o wicked_a man_n though_o they_o never_o smite_v they_o with_o their_o material_a hand_n so_o you_o see_v this_o question_n be_v full_o answer_v in_o the_o next_o place_n i_o shall_v come_v to_o show_v the_o weakness_n and_o unsoundness_n of_o those_o reason_n you_o lay_v down_o against_o this_o subjection_n to_o lay_v on_o of_o hand_n heb._n 6.2_o to_o be_v mean_v of_o the_o same_o suffer_a persecution_n from_o the_o hand_n of_o wicked_a men._n first_o you_o say_v it_o be_v very_o absurd_a or_o strange_a to_o think_v that_o christian_a man_n shall_v be_v persecute_v answer_n in_o these_o word_n you_o discover_v either_o ignorance_n or_o else_o unfaithfulness_n for_o that_o i_o plead_v for_o be_v not_o persecute_v but_o to_o suffer_v persecution_n therefore_o you_o discover_v unfaithfulness_n in_o that_o you_o seem_v as_o if_o this_o be_v the_o opinion_n of_o some_o when_o i_o be_o persuade_v you_o never_o hear_v any_o man_n say_v it_o be_v his_o opinion_n that_o christian_a man_n shall_v be_v persecutor_n second_o you_o discover_v ignorance_n because_o you_o mind_v those_o party_n speak_v to_o heb._n 6.2_o as_o administrator_n whereas_o it_o be_v clear_a they_o be_v subjector_n to_o and_o not_o administrator_n of_o lay_v on_o of_o hand_n in_o no_o sense_n at_o all_o so_o that_o these_o word_n of_o you_o make_v nothing_o against_o the_o saint_n subjection_n heb._n 6.2_o to_o be_v mean_v of_o suffer_a persecution_n under_o the_o hand_n of_o wicked_a men._n in_o the_o next_o place_n you_o say_v it_o can_v be_v so_o mean_v because_o this_o lay_n on_o of_o hand_n heb._n 6.2_o particular_o belong_v to_o christian_a man_n in_o point_n of_o subjection_n let_v we_o leave_v the_o doctrine_n in_o this_o say_v you_o saint_n be_v active_a but_o in_o suffering_n they_o be_v passive_a therefore_o say_v you_o it_o can_v be_v mean_v such_o a_o sort_n of_o lay_v on_o of_o hand_n to_o which_o i_o answer_v here_o you_o grant_v truth_n which_o in_o your_o former_a word_n you_o seem_v to_o deny_v it_o in_o this_o reason_n you_o say_v it_o appertain_v to_o christian_a man_n in_o point_n of_o subjection_n but_o when_o as_o you_o say_v it_o can_v be_v mean_v of_o suffering_n because_o they_o be_v exhort_v to_o leave_v the_o doctrine_n and_o you_o say_v in_o this_o saint_n be_v active_a but_o in_o suffering_n they_o be_v passive_a though_o in_o leave_v the_o first_o degree_n &_o go_v on_o high_a in_o some_o sense_n they_o may_v be_v say_v to_o be_v active_a yet_o saint_n that_o have_v hand_n lay_v on_o they_o upon_o what_o account_n soever_o it_o be_v they_o be_v passive_a for_o they_o suffer_v other_o to_o do_v it_o and_o therefore_o not_o active_a so_o that_o this_o confuse_a reason_n make_v nothing_o against_o its_o be_v mean_v of_o suffer_a persecution_n your_o next_o reason_n why_o it_o can_v be_v mean_v of_o such_o a_o kind_n of_o subjection_n to_o lay_v on_o of_o hand_n because_o the_o saint_n of_o god_n be_v often_o to_o suffer_v persecution_n for_o the_o gospel_n but_o as_o to_o the_o lay_v on_o of_o hand_n declare_v heb._n 6.2_o they_o be_v but_o once_o to_o undergo_v as_o be_v evident_a from_o the_o precedent_a scripture_n let_v we_o go_v forth_o to_o perfection_n and_o now_o no_o more_o lay_v the_o foundation_n answer_n in_o that_o you_o say_v the_o saint_n be_v often_o to_o suffer_v persecution_n for_o the_o gospel_n it_o be_v true_a and_o that_o serve_v to_o prove_v that_o which_o i_o affirm_v viz._n that_o saint_n be_v to_o leave_v the_o beginning_n part_n of_o suffering_n and_o go_v on_o to_o perfection_n in_o they_o but_o whereas_o you_o say_v that_o saint_n be_v but_o once_o to_o undergo_v that_o kind_n of_o lay_v on_o of_o hand_n heb._n 6.2_o you_o plain_o declare_v what_o you_o understand_v by_o leave_v the_o beginning_n &_o go_v on_o to_o perfection_n viz._n that_o the_o saint_n shall_v leave_v subjection_n to_o that_o

all_o you_o have_v say_v make_v nothing_o against_o their_o opinion_n who_o hold_v that_o the_o great_a and_o large_a gift_n the_o holy_a ghost_n be_v the_o end_n wherefore_o peter_n and_o john_n lay_v on_o their_o hand_n act_n 8._o for_o in_o verse_n 15._o it_o be_v say_v they_o pray_v for_o it_o which_o argue_v it_o be_v their_o own_o end_n and_o desire_v to_o have_v it_o and_o so_o much_o by_o way_n of_o answer_n to_o your_o four_o chapter_n ben._n as_o to_o your_o five_o chapter_n the_o substance_n of_o what_o you_o say_v here_o be_v include_v in_o your_o former_a ground_n and_o be_v also_o answer_v in_o my_o forego_n matter_n and_o therefore_o for_o brevity_n sake_n i_o shall_v take_v notice_n only_o of_o such_o thing_n as_o i_o have_v not_o already_o answer_v and_o in_o the_o first_o place_n though_o you_o confess_v in_o your_o book_n page_n the_o 51._o that_o in_o former_a time_n the_o holy_a ghost_n do_v attend_v the_o practice_n of_o lay_v on_o of_o hand_n and_o in_o page_n the_o 53._o do_v grant_n that_o those_o twelve_o man_n act_v the_o 19_o do_v receive_v the_o extraordinary_a gift_n of_o the_o spirit_n and_o yet_o you_o deny_v that_o the_o extraordinary_a gift_n of_o the_o spirit_n be_v essential_a to_o it_o from_o hebr._n 6.1_o 2._o and_o therefore_o you_o must_v tell_v your_o antagonist_n that_o lay_v on_o of_o hand_n will_v stand_v as_o firm_a and_o unmoveable_a in_o these_o our_o day_n without_o any_o such_o extraordinary_a appearance_n of_o the_o spirit_n as_o former_o for_o these_o reason_n first_o because_o the_o extraordinary_a gift_n of_o the_o spirit_n be_v to_o confirm_v the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o gospel_n and_o it_o be_v confirm_v there_o need_v no_o such_o extraordinary_a gift_n to_o that_o end_n and_o so_o you_o conclude_v they_o confirm_v lay_v on_o of_o hand_n as_o well_o as_o the_o rest_n of_o christ_n doctrine_n put_v no_o difference_n between_o action_n and_o doctrine_n a_o second_o reason_n why_o you_o conclude_v that_o miracle_n and_o the_o extraordinary_a gift_n of_o the_o spirit_n be_v not_o essential_a to_o lay_v on_o of_o hand_n be_v because_o these_o extraordinary_a appearance_n of_o god_n be_v not_o essential_a to_o any_o other_o ordinance_n of_o god_n as_o you_o instance_n in_o preach_v and_o pray_v act_v 10_o and_o act_n 4._o tho._n answer_v although_o you_o grant_v the_o extraordinary_a gift_n of_o the_o spirit_n do_v attend_v lay_v on_o of_o hand_n act_n 19_o yet_o you_o deny_v they_o be_v essential_a to_o it_o because_o you_o say_v hebr._n 6.2_o no_o extraordinary_a gift_n follow_v lay_v on_o of_o hand_n but_o in_o this_o you_o have_v lay_v a_o ground_n for_o your_o own_o mistake_n by_o compare_v that_o sort_n of_o subjection_n to_o lay_v on_o of_o hand_n hebr._n 6.2_o to_o that_o sort_n in_o act_n 19_o where_o they_o subject_v in_o order_n to_o the_o receive_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n but_o in_o hebr._n 6.2_o i_o shall_v hereafter_o make_v it_o appear_v that_o they_o subject_v in_o order_n to_o the_o fill_v up_o the_o measure_n of_o the_o suffering_n of_o christ_n therefore_o you_o must_v not_o think_v to_o make_v we_o believe_v that_o the_o extraordinary_a gift_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n be_v not_o essential_a to_o that_o kind_n of_o lay_v on_o of_o hand_n act_n 8._o and_o the_o 19_o because_o it_o be_v not_o essential_a to_o that_o contrary_a kind_n of_o subjection_n to_o lay_v on_o of_o hand_n hebr._n 6.2_o neither_o because_o it_o be_v not_o essential_a to_o preach_v and_o some_o kind_n of_o prayer_n for_o indeed_o preach_v and_o some_o kind_n of_o prayer_n be_v never_o appoint_v to_o be_v instrumental_a for_o give_v the_o extraordinary_a gift_n the_o holy_a ghost_n but_o the_o proper_a effect_n of_o preach_v be_v to_o convey_v the_o ordinary_a gift_n of_o the_o spirit_n as_o enlighten_v and_o many_o other_o comfortable_a reception_n so_o that_o though_o the_o extraordinary_a gift_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n be_v not_o essential_a to_o preach_v it_o never_o be_v appoint_v as_o the_o mean_n through_o which_o this_o gift_n shall_v be_v give_v yet_o they_o may_v be_v and_o be_v essential_a to_o that_o kind_n of_o lay_v on_o of_o hand_n through_o which_o they_o be_v give_v and_o never_o fail_v as_o act_v the_o 8._o &_o act_v the_o 19_o the_o scripture_n speak_v but_o of_o those_o two_o time_n that_o this_o sort_n of_o lay_v of_o hand_n be_v use_v so_o that_o i_o wonder_v that_o you_o shall_v say_v as_o you_o do_v viz._n that_o we_o may_v no_o more_o tie_v up_o the_o reception_n of_o the_o extraordinary_a gift_n the_o holy_a ghost_n to_o lay_v on_o of_o hand_n than_o we_o may_v to_o preach_v the_o word_n because_o as_o you_o say_v the_o extraordinary_a gift_n the_o holy_a ghost_n do_v attend_v preach_v as_o well_o as_o lay_v on_o hand_n and_o this_o you_o say_v though_o you_o may_v see_v act_n the_o 8._o &_o the_o 10._o this_o gift_n the_o holy_a ghost_n be_v give_v through_o lay_v on_o of_o hand_n but_o though_o we_o find_v act_n the_o 19_o this_o gift_n be_v give_v when_o they_o be_v at_o preach_v yet_o never_o through_o preach_v and_o whereas_o you_o say_v the_o extraordinary_a gift_n the_o holy_a ghost_n do_v confirm_v lay_v on_o of_o hand_n act_v the_o 8._o as_o well_o as_o it_o do_v preach_v act_n the_o 10._o i_o answer_v it_o do_v confirm_v lay_v on_o of_o hand_n act_v the_o 8._o so_o as_o to_o bespeak_v the_o lawfulness_n of_o the_o use_n of_o that_o mean_n be_v use_v in_o order_n to_o the_o same_o end_n viz._n receive_v the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o so_o do_v miraculous_a heal_n confirm_v or_o bespeak_v the_o lawful_a use_n of_o lay_v on_o of_o hand_n to_o that_o end_n viz._n to_o heal_v but_o again_o it_o be_v true_a and_o you_o confess_v it_o in_o the_o 6._o page_n of_o your_o book_n that_o the_o nonbeing_a of_o the_o gift_n of_o heal_v in_o the_o church_n do_v bespeak_v the_o uselessness_n of_o lay_v on_o of_o hand_n to_o that_o end_n viz._n to_o heal_v and_o so_o on_o the_o other_o hand_n i_o shall_v affirm_v that_o the_o nonbeing_a of_o power_n in_o the_o church_n instrumental_o through_o lay_v on_o of_o hand_n to_o give_v the_o holy_a ghost_n do_v bespeak_v the_o uselessness_n of_o lay_v on_o of_o hand_n to_o that_o end_n and_o so_o i_o conclude_v that_o though_o god_n have_v the_o same_o power_n now_o as_o he_o have_v then_o yet_o if_o in_o his_o wisdom_n he_o see_v it_o no●_n convenient_a to_o will_v the_o give_v of_o the_o same_o gift_n now_o as_o he_o do_v then_o his_o power_n do_v not_o accomplish_v it_o for_o his_o power_n do_v act_n suitable_a to_o his_o will_n for_o if_o in_o his_o will_n he_o do_v not_o determine_v a_o thing_n then_o by_o his_o power_n he_o do_v not_o effect_v it_o and_o so_o he_o divide_v to_o every_o one_o several_o as_o he_o will_v 1_o cor._n 12.11_o and_o when_o in_o his_o wisdom_n he_o see_v it_o convenient_a to_o give_v those_o glorious_a gift_n into_o his_o church_n as_o he_o do_v former_o he_o can_v again_o begin_v the_o dispensation_n of_o they_o without_o the_o use_n of_o outward_a instrument_n as_o he_o do_v at_o the_o first_o to_o the_o apostle_n act_n 2.1_o 2_o 3_o 4._o and_o as_o to_o the_o thing_n you_o call_v effect_n of_o your_o lay_v on_o of_o hand_n viz._n as_o you_o say_v a_o most_o sweet_a and_o precrous_a communion_n and_o a_o delightful_a fellowship_n in_o the_o gospel_n second_o more_o of_o the_o manifestation_n of_o god_n spirit_n to_o their_o soul_n three_o to_o be_v further_o strengthen_v in_o god_n way_n for_o your_o first_o effect_n viz._n a_o most_o sweet_a and_o precious_a communion_n you_o instance_n in_o those_o act_v the_o 2.41_o 42_o 46._o in_o which_o place_n there_o be_v not_o one_o word_n mention_v that_o ever_o they_o have_v hand_n lay_v on_o they_o and_o therefore_o though_o they_o have_v a_o sweet_a communion_n yet_o it_o do_v not_o arise_v from_o lay_v on_o of_o hand_n and_o as_o for_o these_o three_o particular_n which_o you_o call_v effect_n you_o may_v more_o proper_o have_v lay_v they_o down_o as_o three_o more_o end_n which_o though_o they_o be_v propound_v before_o hand_n yet_o for_o such_o be_v the_o same_o with_o effect_n and_o then_o though_o you_o have_v not_o attain_v to_o they_o yet_o at_o the_o least_o we_o shall_v have_v think_v you_o shall_v have_v desire_v they_o but_o now_o you_o have_v lay_v they_o down_o as_o effect_n what_o ever_o you_o may_v say_v i_o with_o many_o other_o can_v from_o sad_a experience_n testify_v that_o in_o instead_o of_o a_o sweet_a and_o real_a communion_n in_o the_o church_n of_o christ_n your_o kind_n of_o lay_v on_o of_o hand_n have_v effect_v nothing_o but_o a_o unsavoury_a outside_n communion_n and_o have_v furnish_v
