as_o they_o call_v it_o be_v of_o a_o very_a different_a nature_n from_o all_o the_o rest_n for_o shall_v the_o priest_n anoint_v a_o man_n with_o oil_n though_o in_o a_o die_a state_n and_o say_v

of_o institution_n and_o we_o conclude_v that_o those_o of_o the_o roman_a communion_n will_v scarce_o believe_v the_o bread_n and_o wine_n transubstantiate_v into_o the_o body_n and_o blood_n of_o

sacrament_n as_o the_o element_n or_o the_o particular_a action_n of_o the_o priest_n now_o if_o a_o bishop_n lay_v his_o hand_n upon_o my_o head_n and_o say_v nothing_o who_o know_v whether_o it_o

mark_n of_o some_o personal_a kindness_n to_o i_o for_o a_o bishop_n as_o a_o bishop_n may_v intend_v by_o such_o a_o action_n any_o one_o of_o these_o thing_n as_o well_o as_o ordination_n it_o be_v true_a they_o have_v some_o circumstantial_o and_o appendage_n in_o their_o present_a ritual_n demonstrative_a enough_o but_o those_o may_v be_v omit_v and_o a_o perfect_o mute_a imposition_n of_o hand_n be_v make_v use_n of_o alone_a as_o be_v only_o essential_a to_o the_o thing_n design_v for_o if_o the_o essential_o of_o a_o ordinance_n be_v use_v the_o circumstance_n can_v add_v nothing_o to_o its_o perfection_n or_o imperfection_n so_o the_o roman_a church_n allow_v baptism_n of_o infant_n a_o complete_a sacrament_n when_o administer_v by_o such_o person_n who_o have_v no_o authority_n to_o consecrate_v the_o element_n or_o by_o priest_n in_o such_o strait_n of_o time_n as_o render_v their_o consecration_n impracticable_a if_o we_o shall_v grant_v what_o some_o will_v fain_o persuade_v we_o that_o imposition_n of_o hand_n and_o touch_v the_o vessel_n be_v both_o essential_a to_o ordination_n notwithstanding_o this_o as_o when_o they_o allow_v bread_n and_o wine_n both_o as_o essential_o to_o the_o sacrament_n of_o the_o lord_n supper_n yet_o they_o esteem_v it_o enough_o to_o administer_v that_o sacrament_n in_o one_o kind_n to_o all_o communicant_n so_o it_o may_v upon_o the_o same_o ground_n be_v determine_v sufficient_a to_o give_v order_n only_o by_o one_o mean_a the_o virtue_n of_o the_o other_o essential_a be_v suppose_v to_o be_v in_o that_o one_o by_o concomitancy_n but_o a_o ceremony_n whole_o silent_a be_v so_o very_o unintelligible_a to_o the_o vulgar_a that_o though_o they_o can_v be_v bring_v to_o apprehend_v its_o general_a meaning_n yet_o unless_o there_o be_v so_o many_o different_a modes_n of_o lay_v on_o of_o hand_n it_o be_v impossible_a for_o they_o to_o distinguish_v between_o bishop_n priest_n and_o deacon_n to_o the_o great_a trouble_n and_o dissatisfaction_n of_o those_o who_o among_o a_o thousand_o doubt_n and_o uncertainty_n must_v partake_v of_o the_o ordinance_n of_o god_n by_o their_o hand_n and_o this_o defect_n themselves_o be_v so_o sensible_a of_o that_o though_o imposition_n of_o hand_n be_v only_o a_o dumb_a circumstance_n yet_o when_o the_o vessel_n be_v exhibit_v in_o which_o action_n they_o now_o general_o fix_v the_o essence_n of_o order_n the_o bishop_n ordain_v use_v a_o particular_a form_n expressive_a of_o the_o office_n then_o confer_v but_o it_o be_v 3._o such_o a_o form_n as_o if_o well_o examine_v will_v leave_v we_o more_o at_o a_o loss_n for_o the_o validity_n of_o their_o priesthood_n than_o all_o their_o precedent_a silence_n take_v thou_o power_n etc._n etc._n where_o it_o will_v give_v we_o very_o great_a satisfaction_n if_o they_o will_v inform_v we_o what_o kind_n of_o sacrifice_n their_o priest_n offer_v whether_o typical_a and_o so_o carnal_a and_o sensible_a
