9.17,34,40_o &_o 28.8_o and_o according_o when_o they_o wrought_v by_o this_o gift_n they_o sometime_o use_v some_o small_a rite_n such_o as_o touch_v with_o the_o hand_n or_o anoint_v with_o oil_n as_o christ_n do_v the_o eye_n of_o the_o blind_a with_o clay_n and_o spital_n which_o judicious_a person_n can_v not_o think_v have_v any_o natural_a virtue_n to_o produce_v the_o effect_n that_o

twelve_o apostle_n on_o their_o first_o mission_n in_o heal_v the_o sick_a take_v a_o rite_n that_o be_v in_o ordinary_a use_n among_o the_o jew_n as_o a_o weak_a and_o common_a medicine_n among_o

that_o the_o devil_n strict_o tie_v up_o his_o operator_n to_o all_o the_o circumstance_n of_o his_o impose_v rite_n but_o thus_o christ_n do_v not_o §_o 8._o the_o anoint_v speak_v of_o by_o james_n

i_o conceive_v it_o be_v because_o the_o lord_n jesus_n before_o his_o ascension_n mention_v another_o mark_v 16.18_o though_o not_o enjoin_v it_o but_o his_o mention_v it_o seem_v to_o intimate_v to_o they_o that_o of_o the_o two_o he_o rather_o approve_v of_o that_o of_o lay_v on_o of_o hand_n in_o heal_v of_o the_o sick_a than_o of_o unction_n §_o 9_o yet_o we_o be_v not_o of_o the_o
