of_o it_o we_o have_v then_o great_a need_n to_o be_v confirm_v in_o those_o holy_a resolution_n and_o good_a purpose_n and_o also_o strengthen_v against_o those_o fierce_a battery_n and_o desperate_a

of_o his_o ambassador_n 2._o here_o be_v the_o time_n when_o this_o apostolic_a rite_n be_v administer_v after_o baptism_n when_o by_o this_o holy_a sacrament_n they_o have_v engage_v themselves_o in_o the_o practice_n of_o the_o true_a christian_a religion_n than_o be_v the_o season_n that_o the_o holy_a apostle_n by_o the_o lay_n on_o of_o hand_n communicate_v unto_o they_o a_o large_a

and_o john_n philip_n the_o evangelist_n who_o convert_v and_o baptize_v they_o give_v not_o the_o holy_a ghost_n for_o he_o have_v not_o power_n so_o to_o do_v for_o this_o gift_n be_v proper_a only_o to_o the_o apostle_n to_o none_o of_o the_o inferior_a pastor_n or_o teacher_n and_o this_o very_a order_n do_v the_o church_n of_o england_n punctual_o observe_v in_o the_o administration_n of_o this_o primitive_a discipline_n she_o confirm_v none_o but_o those_o that_o be_v baptize_v and_o the_o time_n when_o she_o administer_v it_o be_v after_o baptism_n and_o here_o indeed_o she_o something_o vary_v from_o the_o primitive_a practice_n who_o confirm_v their_o convert_n present_o after_o baptism_n but_o she_o not_o until_o a_o considerable_a time_n afterward_o until_o the_o baptize_v be_v grow_v to_o year_n of_o discretion_n to_o understand_v their_o baptismal_a vow_n but_o there_o be_v very_o good_a reason_n for_o it_o in_o regard_n those_o heathen_n which_o in_o the_o

confirm_v at_o that_o very_a instant_n she_o likewise_o administer_v this_o rite_n by_o prayer_n and_o the_o lay_v on_o of_o hand_n as_o also_o the_o administer_v hereof_o be_v the_o bishop_n who_o succeed_v in_o the_o place_n and_o ordinary_a office_n of_o the_o apostle_n so_o that_o the_o same_o thing_n that_o be_v now_o do_v in_o imposition_n of_o hand_n be_v no_o other_o than_o what_o be_v do_v by_o the_o first_o publisher_n of_o the_o gospel_n such_o as_o be_v inspire_v and_o miraculous_o assist_v by_o a_o infallible_a spirit_n all_o derive_v from_o the_o very_a same_o authority_n

this_o case_n and_o now_o i_o be_o not_o able_a to_o conjecture_v what_o can_v be_v say_v against_o the_o lawfulness_n of_o confirmation_n unless_o it_o shall_v be_v object_v that_o it_o be_v only_o

i_o can_v then_o conceive_v what_o there_o be_v far_a to_o be_v object_v against_o the_o justness_n and_o lawfulness_n of_o this_o rite_n and_o first_o in_o order_n to_o this_o performance_n let_v
