that_o be_v sufficient_a to_o our_o purpose_n for_o so_o some_o of_o the_o chief_a man_n in_o a_o church_n some_o of_o the_o most_o eminent_a believer_n may_v lay_v hand_n on_o officer_n in_o the_o name_n of_o the_o rest_n we_o do_v not_o say_v that_o every_o member_n in_o a_o church_n must_v lay_v on_o hand_n obj._n 4._o the_o levite_n be_v take_v by_o god_n in_o stead_n of_o the_o first-born_a as_o appear_v numb_a 8._o 16_o 17._o and_o hence_o it_o be_v that_o the_o child_n of_o israel_n that_o be_v the_o first_o bear_v of_o israel_n be_v to_o lay_v on_o hand_n upon_o they_o for_o the_o levite_n give_v a_o atonement_n for_o they_o and_o be_v offer_v up_o to_o the_o lord_n in_o their_o stead_n and_o as_o the_o rabbin_n say_v every_o first_o bear_v lay_v on_o hand_n on_o the_o levite_n that_o be_v for_o he_o which_o if_o it_o be_v so_o will_v afford_v we_o two_o other_o answer_n to_o this_o text._n 1._o the_o child_n of_o israel_n have_v not_o only_o a_o special_a command_n but_o a_o special_a reason_n also_o for_o what_o they_o do_v and_o wherefore_o this_o example_n can_v be_v make_v a_o pattern_n for_o new_a testament_n practice_n 2._o that_o this_o lay_v on_o of_o hand_n upon_o the_o levite_n be_v not_o for_o they_o to_o set_v they_o apart_o for_o the_o service_n of_o the_o lord_n but_o rather_o a_o set_v they_o apart_o for_o a_o sacrifice_n unto_o the_o lord_n it_o be_v the_o command_n of_o god_n that_o the_o child_n of_o israel_n must_v put_v their_o hand_n upon_o the_o sacrifice_n they_o do_v offer_v unto_o the_o lord_n etc._n etc._n answ_n 1._o that_o the_o first-born_a only_a do_v lay_v hand_n on_o the_o levite_n be_v not_o prove_v it_o be_v true_a they_o be_v take_v instead_o of_o the_o first-born_a but_o it_o be_v the_o lord_n command_v that_o warrant_v the_o person_n to_o lay_v hand_n on_o the_o levite_n numb_a 8._o 10._o and_o that_o run_v in_o general_a to_o the_o child_n of_o israel_n and_o therefore_o do_v not_o authorise_v the_o first-born_a more_o than_o any_o other_o person_n to_o do_v it_o hence_o 2._o if_o the_o first-born_a do_v lay_v hand_n on_o the_o levite_n it_o be_v not_o by_o virtue_n of_o any_o office_n but_o in_o the_o name_n and_o by_o the_o appointment_n of_o the_o child_n of_o israel_n for_o the_o command_n do_v run_v to_o they_o in_o general_n 3._o if_o the_o child_n of_o israel_n have_v lay_v their_o hand_n upon_o the_o levite_n upon_o the_o account_n of_o that_o command_n of_o god_n which_o require_v their_o put_a hand_n upon_o the_o sacrifice_n they_o do_v offer_v than_o every_o man_n of_o they_o must_v have_v lay_v hand_n on_o they_o for_o so_o that_o command_n injoyn_v levit._fw-la 1._o v._o 2._o when_o any_o man_n of_o you_o shall_v offer_v etc._n etc._n v._o 4._o he_o shall_v lay_v his_o hand_n upon_o the_o head_n of_o the_o burnt-offering_a etc._n etc._n not_o a_o substitute_n not_o another_o for_o he_o but_o he_o every_o one_o to_o who_o the_o offering_n belong_v aught_o to_o impose_v hand_n upon_o it_o himself_o and_o this_o will_v overthrow_v their_o three_o objection_n which_o say_v it_o be_v not_o imaginable_a that_o all_o the_o israelite_n do_v put_v on_o hand_n etc._n etc._n and_o also_o this_o deny_v that_o it_o be_v only_o the_o first-born_a that_o do_v impose_v hand_n and_o so_o destroy_v a_o great_a part_n of_o this_o four_o objection_n 4._o it_o be_v not_o prove_v that_o this_o lay_v on_o of_o hand_n upon_o the_o levite_n be_v a_o set_v they_o apart_o for_o a_o sacrifice_n unto_o the_o lord_n and_o therefore_o the_o objection_n be_v altogether_o groundless_a we_o do_v not_o read_v that_o hand_n be_v to_o be_v impose_v on_o all_o sacrifice_n or_o offering_n no_o not_o on_o the_o first-born_a in_o who_o stead_n the_o levite_n be_v take_v neither_o do_v we_o remember_v that_o the_o people_n be_v to_o impose_v hand_n on_o any_o but_o the_o burnt-offering_a levit._n 1._o v._o 4._o he_o shall_v put_v his_o hand_n upon_o the_o head_n of_o the_o burn_v offer_v and_o it_o shall_v be_v accept_v for_o he_o to_o make_v atonement_n for_o he_o other_o sacrifice_n aaron_n and_o his_o son_n or_o the_o elder_n etc._n etc._n impose_v hand_n on_o when_o that_o ceremony_n be_v use_v about_o they_o at_o all_o and_o that_o the_o levite_n be_v not_o such_o a_o sacrifice_n the_o very_a name_n burn_a offer_v will_v true_o evidence_n nay_o it_o be_v plain_a that_o the_o end_n of_o their_o offering_n before_o the_o lord_n be_v that_o they_o may_v execute_v their_o office_n numb_a 8._o v._n 11._o and_o aaron_n shall_v offer_v the_o levite_n before_o the_o lord_n for_o a_o offering_n not_o of_o the_o first-born_a only_o as_o our_o brethren_n will_v have_v it_o but_o of_o the_o child_n of_o israel_n not_o as_o their_o propitiation_n and_o atonement_n or_o as_o a_o sacrifice_n but_o that_o they_o may_v execute_v the_o service_n of_o the_o lord_n so_o v._n 15_o 16._o they_o be_v indeed_o to_o make_v atonement_n for_o the_o child_n of_o israel_n but_o not_o by_o offer_v sacrifice_n for_o the_o people_n sin_n for_o that_o be_v do_v by_o the_o priest_n only_o nor_o by_o be_v a_o sacrifice_n to_o make_v atonement_n for_o they_o because_o no_o such_o end_n of_o aaron_n offer_v they_o up_o be_v prove_v and_o another_o end_n be_v mention_v v._o 13_o 14_o 15_o 16_o 21._o but_o by_o their_o other_o service_n in_o the_o text_n and_o this_o the_o word_n follow_v do_v confirm_v that_o there_o be_v no_o plague_n among_o the_o child_n of_o israel_n when_o the_o child_n of_o israel_n come_v nigh_o unto_o the_o sanctuary_n their_o make_a atonement_n be_v after_o they_o be_v offer_v not_o by_o be_v offer_v for_o a_o offering_n unto_o the_o lord_n and_o by_o many_o verse_n it_o be_v plain_a that_o their_o set_n apart_o be_v for_o the_o service_n of_o the_o lord_n v._o 11_o 15_o 19_o 21_o 22._o and_o therefore_o the_o objection_n vanish_v our_o brethren_n observe_v that_o notwithstanding_o this_o imposition_n of_o hand_n the_o levite_n be_v not_o thereupon_o invest_v into_o their_o office_n it_o be_v aaron_n wave_n of_o the_o levite_n and_o separate_v they_o from_o among_o the_o child_n of_o israel_n that_o do_v constitute_v and_o make_v they_o church-officer_n if_o this_o be_v full_o grant_v nothing_o be_v gain_v against_o we_o for_o we_o be_v far_o from_o think_v that_o ordination_n do_v constitute_v or_o make_v church_n officer_n much_o less_o do_v we_o imagine_v that_o imposition_n of_o hand_n do_v it_o but_o from_o hence_o we_o gather_v thus_o much_o that_o it_o be_v not_o the_o intendment_n of_o imposition_n of_o hand_n in_o old_a testament_n day_n to_o confer_v a_o office_n and_o therefore_o see_v the_o ceremony_n be_v borrow_v thence_o it_o be_v very_o unlikely_a that_o in_o new_a testament_n day_n it_o shall_v be_v intend_v for_o such_o a_o end_n and_o thus_o we_o have_v prove_v the_o first_o part_n of_o the_o minor_a of_o our_o six_o argument_n viz._n that_o believer_n may_v undoubted_o perform_v all_o the_o act_n which_o ordination_n so_o far_o as_o any_o man_n act_v in_o it_o do_v confist_n in_o or_o be_v make_v up_o of_o the_o second_o part_n of_o the_o minor_a viz._n that_o these_o act_n be_v not_o limit_v in_o their_o use_n upon_o the_o occasion_n of_o ordination_n to_o officer_n only_o we_o prove_v thus_o because_o none_o of_o the_o text_n which_o speak_v of_o ordination_n do_v limit_v it_o to_o officer_n only_o let_v our_o brethren_n prove_v any_o such_o limitation_n and_o unless_o they_o can_v do_v that_o which_o we_o suppose_v they_o never_o can_v it_o will_v necessary_o follow_v that_o in_o a_o church_n which_o have_v no_o officer_n some_o believer_n may_v lawful_o or_o warrantable_o ordain_v without_o officer_n if_o they_o may_v perform_v the_o same_o act_n upon_o other_o occasion_n and_o they_o be_v not_o limit_v and_o confine_v to_o officer_n upon_o this_o occasion_n than_o they_o may_v perform_v they_o here_o also_o and_o for_o the_o clear_n of_o this_o that_o there_o be_v no_o such_o limitation_n we_o shall_v examine_v brief_o our_o brethren_n argument_n against_o ordination_n by_o the_o people_n without_o minister_n they_o tell_v we_o that_o they_o may_v argue_v from_o what_o be_v record_v by_o jewish_a 184._o jus_fw-la divin_n min._n p._n 184._o writer_n concern_v the_o custom_n of_o create_v man_n member_n of_o
