be_v not_o admit_v to_o the_o eucharist_n doubtless_o if_o the_o church_n of_o judea_n first_o plant_v in_o the_o order_n of_o the_o gospel_n be_v to_o be_v follow_v or_o if_o that_o which_o be_v

to_o take_v heed_n what_o they_o affirm_v on_o this_o account_n i_o mean_v concern_v we_o and_o this_o sacred_a institution_n since_o they_o seem_v so_o cloudy_a in_o their_o understanding_n about_o those_o scripture_n urge_v as_o the_o great_a warranty_n for_o our_o practice_n if_o god_n have_v hide_v for_o reason_n best_o know_v to_o himself_o this_o truth_n of_o imposition_n of_o hand_n from_o their_o eye_n as_o he_o have_v the_o holy_a ordinance_n of_o baptism_n from_o the_o independent_o etc._n etc._n it_o will_v be_v their_o wisdom_n to_o forbear_v reflection_n let_v they_o not_o be_v angry_a lest_o it_o be_v find_v to_o be_v a_o truth_n of_o god_n and_o they_o consequent_o prove_v offend_v at_o christ_n himself_o who_o leave_v this_o as_o well_o as_o baptism_n among_o the_o beginning-principle_n of_o his_o doctrine_n why_o shall_v they_o be_v offend_v at_o we_o for_o have_v a_o equal_a love_n to_o all_o the_o commandment_n of_o christ_n i_o will_v hope_v they_o have_v reason_n to_o judge_n it_o be_v from_o hence_o we_o so_o earnest_o contend_v with_o they_o on_o this_o account_n 8._o i_o can_v but_o marvel_n that_o our_o brethren_n shall_v call_v lay_v on_o of_o hand_n a_o doctrine_n or_o tradition_n of_o man_n and_o render_v those_o who_o plead_v for_o it_o guilty_a of_o add_v to_o the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o yet_o receive_v such_o into_o communion_n at_o the_o lord_n table_n as_o be_v in_o the_o practice_n of_o it_o what_o uncharitable_a thought_n do_v they_o retain_v of_o their_o brethren_n and_o what_o guilt_n on_o this_o consideration_n do_v they_o bring_v on_o their_o own_o soul_n but_o let_v i_o close_o with_o one_o caution_n more_o since_o they_o know_v it_o be_v as_o sinful_a every_o way_n to_o diminish_v from_o god_n word_n as_o to_o alter_v or_o add_v to_o it_o let_v they_o take_v heed_n lest_o they_o be_v find_v guilty_a therein_o we_o have_v now_o trace_v mr._n d._n quite_o through_o and_o have_v little_a more_o to_o do_v in_o page_n 53._o he_o labour_v to_o remove_v a_o objection_n bring_v against_o he_o from_o antiquity_n and_o since_o he_o have_v fair_o state_v it_o take_v it_o in_o his_o own_o word_n as_o to_o the_o point_n of_o antiquity_n though_o it_o be_v grant_v the_o ancient_n and_o their_o follower_n ever_o since_o have_v err_v not_o only_o in_o the_o subject_a but_o in_o divers_a circumstance_n about_o this_o rite_n of_o imposition_n of_o hand_n yet_o in-as-much_a as_o there_o have_v be_v all_o along_o such_o a_o witness_n bear_v to_o the_o thing_n itself_o it_o make_v for_o its_o apostolicalness_n and_o confirm_v our_o practice_n therein_o now_o take_v his_o answer_n to_o it_o it_o do_v not_o appear_v say_v he_o that_o such_o a_o witness_n have_v be_v bear_v all_o along_o thereto_o for_o mr._n baxter_n ingenuous_o acknowledge_v that_o justin_n martyr_n ireneus_fw-la and_o other_o in_o those_o time_n be_v silent_a about_o it_o etc._n etc._n and_o those_o authority_n that_o be_v pretend_v

god_n to_o warrant_v it_o can_v never_o justify_v the_o divine_a authority_n of_o any_o practice_n answ_n 1._o we_o full_o agree_v with_o he_o viz._n whatever_o be_v find_v in_o ancient_a prescription_n concern_v this_o or_o any_o practice_n signify_v nothing_o if_o god_n word_n do_v not_o witness_v to_o it_o but_o have_v such_o evident_a proof_n from_o god_n word_n to_o warrant_v this_o precept_n we_o never_o judge_v it_o worth_a while_n to_o search_v into_o author_n concern_v it_o neither_o shall_v we_o have_v cite_v any_o now_o have_v we_o not_o be_v force_v by_o our_o

their_o work_n but_o 2._o since_o their_o silence_n only_o be_v pretend_v it_o carry_v no_o great_a force_n with_o it_o must_v we_o of_o necessity_n produce_v all_o the_o ancient_n express_o witness_v thereto_o or_o else_o be_v all_o nothing_o that_o be_v bring_v from_o antiquity_n in_o the_o case_n we_o have_v mention_v several_a ancient_a witness_n and_o some_o of_o the_o 2d_o and_o 3d_o

we_o must_v say_v again_o against_o what_o be_v mention_v p._n 54._o that_o there_o be_v a_o clear_a precept_n for_o imposition_n of_o hand_n on_o baptize_v believer_n as_o such_o than_o can_v be_v
