choose_v by_o lot_n and_o the_o whole_a church_n choose_v the_o seven_o deacon_n before_o the_o apostle_n impose_v hand_n but_o the_o separation_n or_o this_o first_o sanctification_n of_o the_o

and_o a_o power_n or_o grace_n from_o god_n to_o be_v in_o nearness_n to_o he_o this_o i_o suppose_v to_o be_v the_o great_a argument_n for_o the_o necessity_n of_o separate_v a_o certain_a order_n of_o man_n for_o ecclesiastical_a ministery_n and_o it_o rely_v upon_o these_o proposition_n 1._o all_o power_n of_o ordination_n descend_v from_o god_n and_o he_o it_o be_v who_o sanctify_v and_o

and_o return_v the_o prayer_n and_o duty_n of_o the_o people_n and_o convey_v the_o blessing_n of_o god_n by_o his_o prayer_n and_o by_o his_o ministry_n so_o that_o although_o every_o christian_a must_v pray_v and_o may_v be_v hear_v yet_o there_o be_v a_o solemn_a person_n appoint_v to_o pray_v in_o public_a and_o though_o god_n spirit_n be_v give_v to_o all_o that_o ask_v it_o and_o the_o promise_n of_o the_o gospel_n be_v verify_v to_o all_o that_o obey_v the_o gospel_n of_o jesus_n yet_o god_n have_v appoint_v sacrament_n and_o solemnity_n by_o which_o the_o promise_n and_o blessing_n be_v minister_v more_o solemn_o and_o to_o great_a effect_n all_o the_o ordinary_a devotion_n the_o people_n may_v do_v alone_o the_o solemn_a ritual_a and_o public_a the_o appoint_a minister_n only_o must_v do_v and_o if_o any_o man_n shall_v say_v because_o the_o priest_n ministry_n be_v by_o prayer_n every_o man_n can_v do_v it_o and_o so_o no_o need_n of_o he_o by_o the_o same_o reason_n he_o may_v say_v also_o that_o the_o sacrament_n be_v unnecessary_a because_o the_o same_o effect_n which_o they_o produce_v be_v also_o in_o some_o degree_n the_o reward_n of_o a_o
