of_o these_o objection_n be_v to_o save_v the_o validity_n of_o the_o greek_n ordination_n so_o as_o not_o to_o destroy_v their_o own_o and_o that_o the_o power_n of_o consecrate_v the_o body_n and_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

effect_n thereof_o for_o great_a difficulty_n be_v make_v how_o natural_a cause_n can_v produce_v supernatural_a effect_n on_o pretence_n that_o none_o but_o a_o omnipotent_a power_n can_v elevate_v

in_o some_o case_n a_o denomination_n may_v be_v appropriate_v to_o the_o whole_a which_o can_v be_v apply_v to_o the_o part_n thereof_o if_o take_v separately_z as_o the_o compound_n of_o a_o body_n

extant_a in_o this_o case_n a_o real_a effect_n can_v proceed_v from_o they_o all_o neither_o by_o a_o physical_a action_n nor_o by_o a_o physical_a determination_n but_o this_o real_a effect_n must_v
