because_o this_o action_n of_o imposition_n of_o hand_n have_v be_v little_o frequent_a and_o use_v in_o your_o church_n for_o there_o be_v very_o near_o 50_o year_n since_o mr._n aurelius_n decease_a

be_v print_v on_o occasion_n of_o the_o like_a subject_n and_o of_o the_o same_o nature_n add_v unto_o this_o that_o there_o be_v many_o that_o can_v not_o be_v present_a at_o the_o sermon_n that_o will_v be_v glad_a to_o read_v that_o which_o they_o have_v not_o see_v nor_o hear_v and_o there_o be_v other_o that_o will_v be_v content_a to_o refresh_v their_o memory_n thereby_o i_o have_v add_v

preach_v and_o that_o without_o any_o prejudice_n either_o of_o the_o christian_a hearer_n or_o reader_n but_o rather_o with_o pleasure_n and_o much_o profit_n and_o have_v be_v both_o praise_v and_o

although_o there_o be_v other_o minister_n present_a that_o give_v only_o the_o right_a hand_n of_o fellowship_n to_o the_o minister_n confirm_v notwithstanding_o the_o action_n of_o the_o

the_o imposition_n of_o hand_n on_o that_o person_n that_o be_v receive_v into_o the_o ministry_n so_o that_o the_o practice_n of_o the_o one_o ought_v not_o nor_o can_v prejudice_v or_o condemn_v the_o practice_n of_o the_o other_o we_o have_v all_o three_o minister_n lay_v our_o hand_n on_o mr._n stouppe_n certes_o one_o of_o the_o counsel_n of_o carthage_n do_v ordain_v that_o the_o
