A57271	Laying on of hands asserted: or, A plain discovery of the truth thereof under those several considerations, minded in the New Testament. 1. Upon persons for healing: with a brief discovery of that ordinance of Christ, (to wit) anointing with oile. 2. Upon persons to office. 3. Upon believers, baptized, as such: and that principle of Christs doctrine cleared, for their obedience: with objections answered to each particular. To which is annexed, a confutation of four chapters written by some person, or persons, in opposition to this principle of the doctrine of Christ, (to wit) laying on of hands upon believers baptized, as such; wherein the weakness of their reasons against the truth, is plainly discovered, and the truth further asserted, and vindicated. By VVilliam Rider, servant to the Church of Christ.	Rider, William, fl. 1656.	1656 (1656)	Wing R1444A; ESTC R217997	59,976	201

lay_n on_o of_o hand_n in_o the_o hebrew_n samaria_n and_o ephesia_n yea_o a_o four_o witness_n we_o have_v unto_o this_o truth_n which_o be_v paul_n lay_v on_o his_o hand_n upon_o timothy_n as_o be_v before_o mind_a so_o that_o i_o say_v person_n may_v as_o well_o object_n against_o other_o truth_n of_o christ_n as_o against_o this_o but_o this_o we_o know_v in_o the_o mouth_n of_o two_o or_o three_o witness_n every_o word_n of_o christ_n shall_v be_v establish_v therefore_o let_v we_o beware_v lest_o we_o as_o many_o do_v kick_v against_o this_o truth_n of_o christ_n and_o as_o many_o do_v and_o have_v do_v against_o baptism_n 6._o reason_n because_o it_o be_v that_o which_o be_v milk_n for_o babe_n a_o beginning-word_n of_o christ_n read_v heb._n 5._o 12_o 13._o you_o be_v say_v the_o apostle_n such_o as_o have_v need_n of_o milk_n and_o not_o of_o strong_a meat_n now_o consider_v be_v it_o for_o babe_n then_o and_o be_v it_o only_o for_o strong_a man_n now_o as_o many_o person_n who_o deny_v it_o to_o believer_n as_o believer_n yet_o will_v own_v it_o for_o set_v person_n apart_o for_o office_n o_o what_o deceit_n be_v wrap_v up_o in_o this_o but_o sure_o this_o be_v for_o babe_n and_o the_o hebrew_n learn_v it_o in_o that_o condition_n and_o this_o be_v certain_a that_o which_o be_v for_o babe_n then_o be_v for_o babe_n now_o and_o that_o which_o be_v for_o strong_a man_n then_o be_v for_o strong_a man_n now_o for_o so_o the_o apostle_n reason_v heb._n 5._o 14._o strong_a meat_n belong_v unto_o strong_a man_n who_o by_o reason_n of_o use_n have_v their_o sense_n exercise_v to_o discern_v both_o good_a and_o evil_a object_n but_o now_o some_o object_n that_o lay_v on_o of_o hand_n heb._n 6._o 2._o may_v be_v mean_v to_o heal_v the_o sick_a according_a to_o these_o scripture_n mark_n 16._o 18._o and_o act_n 28._o 8._o or_o else_o for_o set_v person_n apart_o for_o office_n according_a to_o act_n 6._o 6._o or_o act_n 13._o 3._o answ._n to_o which_o i_o answer_v that_o it_o can_v be_v so_o mean_v for_o this_o reason_n because_o in_o none_o of_o those_o scripture_n lay_v on_o of_o hand_n be_v lay_v down_o as_o a_o foundation-principle_n as_o we_o see_v here_o in_o heb._n 6._o 2._o lay_v on_o of_o hand_n be_v so_o lay_v down_o for_o consider_v those_o scripture_n mark_n 16._o 18._o and_o act_n 28._o 8._o do_v hold_v forth_o no_o such_o thing_n as_o a_o foundation-principle_n but_o that_o particular_a man_n may_v receive_v such_o a_o particular_a gift_n of_o god_n as_o to_o heal_v the_o sick_a according_a as_o christ_n promise_v mark_n 16._o 18._o and_o paul_n receive_v act_n 28._o 8._o as_o also_o philip_n act_n 8._o and_o many_o other_o as_o many_o in_o the_o church_n of_o corinth_n which_o be_v no_o more_o a_o foundation-principle_n neither_o in_o the_o practice_n milk_n for_o babe_n then_o lay_v on_o of_o hand_n which_o some_o make_v mention_n of_o in_o luke_n 21._o 12._o so_o likewise_o those_o scripture_n act_n 6._o 6._o and_o 13._o 3._o hold_v forth_o no_o more_o a_o foundation-principle_n than_o the_o former_a and_o that_o because_o lay_v on_o of_o hand_n here_o be_v upon_o particular_a man_n who_o be_v set_v apart_o for_o particular_a office_n and_o that_o for_o the_o good_a of_o the_o church_n of_o christ_n this_o be_v not_o to_o babe_n but_o strong_a man_n the_o apostle_n reckon_v up_o the_o hebrew_n babe_n as_o heb._n 5._o 12._o but_o these_o be_v strong_a man_n who_o be_v fit_a to_o be_v employ_v in_o the_o work_n of_o the_o ministry_n such_o as_o the_o apostle_n speak_v of_o in_o heb._n 5._o 14._o who_o by_o reason_n of_o use_n have_v their_o sense_n exercise_v to_o discern_v both_o good_a and_o evil_a such_o who_o be_v go_v beyond_o those_o speak_v of_o in_o the_o 12._o and_o 13._o vers._n be_v in_o a_o capacity_n of_o teach_v other_o therefore_o lay_v on_o of_o hand_n in_o the_o forementioned_a scripture_n upon_o person_n for_o heal_v or_o for_o set_v person_n apart_o for_o office_n can_v be_v that_o mean_v in_o heb._n 6._o 2._o as_o the_o foundation_n or_o beginning-principle_n which_o be_v milk_n for_o babe_n heb._n 5._o 12._o and_o therefore_o i_o do_v conclude_v that_o lay_v on_o of_o hand_n upon_o believer_n as_o believer_n be_v the_o foundation-principle_n the_o beginning-word_n of_o christ_n that_o which_o concern_v every_o believe_a soul_n which_o be_v food_n to_o it_o and_o nourishment_n to_o it_o which_o be_v that_o they_o be_v capable_a of_o but_o not_o of_o the_o former_a they_o be_v not_o in_o the_o like_a capacity_n therefore_o my_o brethren_n as_o we_o find_v it_o write_v we_o shall_v not_o take_v away_o the_o child_n bread_n and_o give_v it_o unto_o dog_n so_o let_v we_o not_o take_v away_o their_o milk_n but_o feed_v they_o with_o it_o etc._n etc._n 7._o reason_n because_o it_o be_v part_n of_o the_o word_n of_o the_o lord_n that_o be_v confirm_v unto_o we_o that_o it_o be_v the_o word_n of_o christ_n have_v be_v plain_o manifest_v it_o be_v that_o which_o he_o teach_v his_o doctrine_n heb._n 6._o 1._o also_o you_o may_v see_v the_o first_o reason_n for_o the_o proof_n of_o this_o now_o that_o it_o be_v confirm_v to_o we_o read_v mark_n 16._o 20._o and_o they_o go_v forth_o and_o preach_v everywhere_o the_o lord_n work_v with_o they_o and_o confirm_v the_o word_n with_o sign_n follow_v now_o whereas_o some_o object_n that_o lay_v on_o of_o hand_n be_v for_o the_o confirmation_n of_o the_o gospel_n they_o may_v now_o by_o what_o have_v be_v say_v plain_o see_v that_o it_o be_v part_n of_o the_o word_n of_o the_o lord_n or_o say_v of_o christ_n even_o his_o teach_n unto_o which_o believer_n as_o such_o be_v obedient_a one_o part_n of_o his_o doctrine_n which_o therefore_o be_v as_o the_o rest_n confirm_v with_o sign_n miracle_n and_o gift_n of_o the_o holy_a spirit_n but_o for_o further_a answer_n to_o this_o objection_n we_o may_v consider_v that_o which_o confirm_v the_o word_n and_o the_o word_n be_v different_a lay_v on_o of_o hand_n as_o you_o have_v hear_v be_v the_o word_n of_o god_n the_o teach_n of_o christ_n but_o sign_n miracle_n and_o gift_n of_o the_o holy_a spirit_n be_v the_o confirmation_n thereof_o mark_n 16._o 20._o they_o appear_v whereby_o this_o word_n and_o way_n of_o god_n be_v and_o be_v confirm_v unto_o we_o to_o be_v the_o steadfast_a word_n of_o christ_n miracle_n be_v no_o foundation-principle_n they_o be_v not_o any_o part_n of_o the_o word_n of_o the_o beginning_n of_o christ_n but_o those_o thing_n by_o which_o the_o word_n of_o god_n be_v and_o be_v confirm_v unto_o we_o to_o be_v the_o steadfast_a word_n of_o christ_n the_o neglect_n of_o any_o part_n thereof_o god_n will_v punish_v for_o say_v the_o apostle_n heb._n 2._o 2_o 3._o if_o the_o word_n speak_v by_o angel_n be_v steadfast_a and_o every_o transgression_n and_o disobedience_n deserve_v a_o just_a recompense_n of_o reward_n how_o shall_v we_o escape_v if_o we_o neglect_v so_o great_a salvation_n which_o at_o the_o first_o begin_v to_o be_v speak_v by_o the_o lord_n and_o be_v confirm_v unto_o we_o by_o they_o that_o hear_v he_o therefore_o my_o brethren_n as_o the_o same_o apostle_n say_v heb._n 12._o 25._o so_o my_o exhortation_n be_v unto_o you_o see_v that_o you_o refuse_v not_o he_o that_o speak_v for_o if_o they_o escape_v not_o who_o refuse_v he_o that_o speak_v on_o earth_n much_o more_o shall_v not_o we_o escape_v if_o we_o turn_v away_o from_o he_o that_o speak_v from_o heaven_n now_o truth_n be_v declare_v the_o lord_n require_v obedience_n and_o therefore_o it_o lie_v as_o a_o duty_n upon_o every_o believe_a soul_n to_o consider_v his_o way_n and_o with_o the_o good_a man_n david_n to_o turn_v his_o foot_n into_o the_o way_n of_o god_n
