short_a remark_n on_o mr._n collier_n two_o paper_n in_o which_o he_o have_v endeavour_v to_o justify_v those_o proceed_n i_o shall_v consider_v they_o first_o with_o relation_n to_o the_o church_n and_o second_o with_o relation_n to_o the_o state_n as_o they_o be_v consider_v with_o relation_n to_o the_o church_n i_o take_v they_o to_o be_v irregular_a and_o unwarrantable_a on_o several_a account_n for_o one_a such_o a_o imposition_n of_o hand_n as_o those_o clergyman_n make_v use_v of_o in_o the_o absolution_n be_v by_o no_o mean_n warrantable_a mr._n collier_n endeavour_v to_o show_v that_o the_o give_v of_o absolution_n with_o imposition_n of_o hand_n be_v the_o general_a practice_n of_o the_o ancient_a church_n particular_o in_o st._n cyprian_n age_n and_o that_o the_o performance_n of_o this_o ceremony_n be_v allow_v to_o priest_n and_o sometime_o to_o deacon_n as_o well_o as_o bishop_n suppose_v all_o this_o yet_o this_o practice_n of_o those_o ancient_n do_v not_o at_o all_o justify_v mr._n collier_n proceed_n in_o this_o point_n and_o that_o for_o these_o two_o reason_n one_a the_o absolution_n in_o which_o those_o ancient_n make_v use_v of_o imposition_n of_o hand_n be_v not_o such_o a_o absolution_n as_o that_o in_o which_o mr._n c._n be_v concern_v but_o a_o absolution_n of_o person_n excommunicate_v or_o such_o as_o have_v desert_v the_o communion_n of_o the_o church_n it_o be_v customary_a in_o the_o ancient_a church_n to_o excommunicate_v such_o as_o have_v commit_v any_o very_a grievous_a and_o notorious_a crime_n and_o after_o they_o have_v give_v the_o church_n satisfaction_n and_o be_v again_o to_o be_v reconcile_v to_o it_o they_o be_v absolve_v from_o the_o censure_n of_o the_o church_n by_o the_o imposition_n of_o hand_n what_o they_o mean_v in_o this_o case_n by_o the_o lay_v on_o of_o hand_n 213._o we_o may_v learn_v from_o s._n cyprian_n they_o look_v upon_o those_o that_o be_v out_o of_o the_o church_n to_o be_v deprive_v of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o as_o he_o say_v not_o to_o be_v true_o christian_n and_o as_o now_o in_o our_o ordination_n we_o make_v use_v of_o the_o imposition_n of_o hand_n so_o the_o ancient_n frequent_o make_v use_n of_o the_o same_o ceremony_n for_o restore_v to_o the_o communion_n of_o the_o church_n such_o as_o before_o be_v excommunicate_v for_o the_o same_o cause_n it_o be_v that_o they_o that_o be_v baptise_a either_o by_o heretic_n or_o schismatic_n be_v not_o among_o they_o receive_v into_o the_o church_n but_o by_o imposition_n of_o hand_n for_o though_o they_o own_a the_o baptism_n of_o heretic_n and_o schismatic_n to_o be_v valid_a yet_o they_o do_v not_o believe_v that_o any_o so_o baptise_a can_v be_v endue_v with_o the_o holy_a ghost_n till_o the_o church_n have_v lay_v their_o hand_n on_o '_o they_o for_o the_o same_o reason_n the_o imposition_n of_o hand_n be_v make_v use_n of_o when_o any_o one_o that_o have_v turn_v heretic_n
