though_o all_o have_v right_a to_o the_o spirit_n yet_o but_o very_o few_o have_v the_o extraordinary_a gift_n thereof_o in_o the_o primitive_a time_n the_o three_o thing_n mr._n danvers_n seem_v to_o affirm_v be_v that_o all_o in_o samaria_n that_o be_v baptize_v have_v not_o hand_n lay_v upon_o they_o because_o it_o be_v say_v of_o simon_n he_o have_v no_o part_n nor_o lot_n in_o that_o matter_n 1._o here_o he_o beg_v the_o question_n take_v for_o grant_v that_o simon_n have_v not_o hand_n lay_v upon_o he_o but_o why_o may_v not_o simon_n have_v lot_n and_o part_n in_o that_o matter_n if_o by_o lot_n and_o part_n be_v mean_v the_o visible_a or_o miraculous_a gift_n of_o the_o spirit_n since_o hypocrite_n may_v partake_v of_o they_o as_o our_o saviour_n plain_o signify_v and_o also_o do_v our_o apostle_n 1_o cor._n 13.1_o 2_o 2._o he_o may_v come_v under_o the_o ordinance_n and_o yet_o his_o heart_n not_o be_v right_a with_o god_n he_o may_v not_o have_v any_o part_n or_o lot_n in_o the_o bless_a comforter_n the_o spirit_n of_o promise_n which_o the_o world_n receive_v not_o nor_o can_v a_o unsanctified_a heart_n partake_v of_o 3._o their_o reception_n of_o the_o extraordinary_a gift_n of_o the_o spirit_n be_v partly_o to_o convince_v the_o apostle_n and_o believer_n themselves_o that_o christ_n have_v make_v good_a his_o promise_n of_o send_v the_o comforter_n the_o holy_a spirit_n to_o they_o 4._o by_o lot_n or_o part_n in_o that_o matter_n may_v not_o be_v mean_v partake_v of_o the_o ritual_a or_o external_a part_n of_o the_o ordinance_n but_o rather_o refer_v to_o his_o desire_n of_o have_v power_n to_o be_v a_o administrator_n of_o it_o upon_o other_o so_o that_o the_o holy_a spirit_n may_v be_v give_v to_o those_o he_o lay_v his_o hand_n on_o but_o 5._o if_o we_o shall_v grant_v simon_n have_v not_o hand_n impose_v upon_o he_o which_o i_o rather_o incline_v to_o yet_o will_v it_o not_o hurt_v our_o cause_n in_o the_o least_o because_o he_o may_v be_v discover_v to_o be_v a_o profane_a wretch_n before_o it_o come_v to_o be_v his_o lot_n to_o partake_v thereof_o if_o therefore_o it_o appear_v and_o may_v be_v grant_v that_o all_o that_o be_v baptize_v in_o samaria_n come_v under_o this_o appointment_n save_o simon_n we_o have_v as_o much_o as_o we_o desire_v and_o sure_o this_o can_v rational_o be_v deny_v by_o any_o that_o read_v the_o word_n vers_fw-la 12._o when_o they_o believe_v they_o be_v baptize_v both_o man_n and_o woman_n compare_v this_o with_o vers_n 16._o that_o the_o holy_a spirit_n be_v fall_v on_o none_o of_o they_o etc._n only_o they_o be_v baptize_v in_o the_o name_n of_o the_o lord_n jesus_n must_v not_o they_o and_o they_o mean_v all_o who_o be_v say_v to_o be_v baptize_v so_o likewise_o when_o

that_o follow_v this_o administration_n he_o still_o argue_v as_o if_o that_o be_v the_o absolute_a end_n thereof_o which_o as_o a_o great_a doctor_n well_o observe_v be_v too_o trifle_v a_o fancy_n to_o be_v put_v in_o balance_n against_o so_o sacred_a a_o institution_n but_o let_v we_o examine_v this_o scripture_n a_o little_a more_o have_v you_o receive_v the_o holy_a spirit_n since_o you_o believe_v say_v our_o apostle_n they_o say_v unto_o he_o we_o have_v not_o so_o much_o as_o hear_v whether_o there_o be_v any_o holy_a spirit_n unto_o what_o then_o be_v you_o baptize_v etc._n etc._n two_o thing_n be_v here_o very_o remarkable_a 1._o that_o the_o holy_a spirit_n according_a to_o the_o sense_n of_o the_o apostle_n inquire_v after_o their_o reception_n of_o it_o be_v the_o undoubted_a right_n of_o every_o baptize_v believer_n in_o christ_n jesus_n appear_v from_o these_o two_o expression_n have_v you_o receive_v the_o spirit_n since_o you_o believe_v no._n unto_o what_o then_o be_v you_o baptize_v it_o seem_v strange_a as_o if_o paul_n shall_v say_v that_o you_o have_v believe_v in_o christ_n and_o be_v baptize_v have_v not_o yet_o receive_v the_o holy_a spirit_n since_o it_o be_v the_o great_a legacy_n our_o lord_n and_o master_n leave_v to_o every_o one_o of_o his_o disciple_n 2._o it_o be_v evident_a that_o whosoever_o be_v baptize_v after_o christ_n resurrection_n in_o his_o name_n be_v instruct_v into_o the_o promise_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o consequent_o into_o lay_v on_o of_o hand_n the_o outward_a ceremony_n or_o ministry_n of_o it_o belong_v to_o they_o as_o person_n so_o consider_v paul_n seem_v to_o question_v their_o baptism_n since_o they_o be_v whole_o ignorant_a of_o that_o glorious_a promise_n of_o blessing_n annex_v thereto_o which_o consider_v may_v full_o satisfy_v any_o unbiased_a person_n that_o the_o extraordinary_a or_o miraculous_a gift_n can_v not_o be_v the_o end_n of_o this_o administration_n and_o as_o touch_v those_o effect_n that_o follow_v it_o be_v clear_a the_o like_a effect_n follow_v all_o other_o ordinance_n as_o well_o as_o this_o object_n and_o whereas_o mr._n d._n presume_v to_o say_v they_o be_v some_o of_o the_o church_n of_o ephesus_n and_o again_o not_o the_o whole_a church_n answ_n 1._o can_v it_o be_v think_v that_o those_o be_v at_o that_o time_n member_n of_o the_o church_n and_o yet_o so_o ignorant_a of_o the_o holy_a spirit_n and_o sure_o paul_n will_v not_o have_v baptize_v they_o again_o if_o they_o have_v be_v member_n of_o the_o church_n before_o 2._o they_o be_v not_o call_v the_o church_n nor_o of_o the_o church_n nor_o some_o of_o the_o church_n but_o certain_a disciple_n yea_o and_o such_o as_o appear_v be_v only_o instruct_v into_o the_o baptism_n of_o john_n 3._o though_o we_o read_v but_o of_o 12_o that_o have_v hand_n lay_v on_o they_o which_o be_v the_o number_n of_o the_o man_n number_n that_o paul_n find_v at_o that_o time_n who_o lie_v short_a of_o their_o duty_n and_o privilege_n in_o that_o respect_n since_o we_o see_v the_o spirit_n be_v their_o right_n as_o baptize_v believer_n it_o follow_v that_o it_o be_v the_o duty_n of_o every_o believer_n to_o yield_v obedience_n to_o

in_o some_o other_o way_n yet_o we_o ought_v not_o to_o neglect_v our_o duty_n because_o i_o have_v obtain_v faith_n in_o some_o other_o than_o god_n usual_a way_n for_o the_o beget_n it_o shall_v i_o not_o hear_v the_o word_n preach_v for_o the_o further_o increase_v it_o in_o my_o heart_n again_o because_o i_o have_v remission_n of_o sin_n and_o other_o blessing_n promise_v in_o baptism_n

from_o the_o begin_n of_o the_o gospel-ministration_n to_o this_o day_n and_o how_o assert_v among_o many_o persuasion_n with_o the_o authority_n on_o which_o it_o have_v be_v enjoin_v together_o with_o the_o ground_n give_v by_o ancient_n and_o modern_a writer_n to_o justify_v it_o and_o from_o the_o whole_a we_o also_o may_v come_v to_o these_o follow_a conclusion_n viz._n 1._o that_o there_o appear_v full_a and_o ample_a precept_n and_o practice_n from_o scripture_n for_o this_o ordinance_n of_o imposition_n of_o hand_n on_o all_o baptize_v believer_n as_o such_o before_o admit_v to_o the_o lord_n table_n 2._o that_o the_o instance_n to_o prove_v it_o a_o apostolical_a tradition_n or_o institution_n be_v the_o pious_a say_n and_o write_v verity_n of_o christ_n disciple_n 3._o that_o the_o authority_n by_o which_o it_o be_v at_o first_o enjoin_v be_v none_o else_o save_v great_a jehovah_n father_n son_n and_o holy_a spirit_n 4._o that_o many_o eminent_a writer_n both_o ancient_a and_o modern_a have_v bear_v witness_n for_o it_o all_o which_o be_v worthy_a to_o be_v mind_v and_o commend_v to_o the_o consideration_n of_o those_o who_o have_v reject_v infant_n and_o embrace_v believer_n baptism_n do_v oppose_v a_o principle_n of_o the_o same_o nature_n and_o annex_v to_o it_o with_o these_o follow_a observation_n 1._o it_o be_v most_o manifest_a that_o those_o pope_n council_n and_o father_n that_o have_v corrupt_v pollute_a and_o change_v the_o holy_a ordinance_n of_o baptism_n and_o the_o lord_n supper_n do_v also_o change_n alter_v and_o corrupt_v this_o of_o imposition_n of_o hand_n 2._o that_o though_o the_o principal_a argument_n the_o church_n of_o rome_n and_o other_o who_o have_v drink_v of_o the_o whore_n cup_n do_v bring_v to_o defend_v the_o rite_n call_v confirmation_n be_v humane_a tradition_n and_o far-fetched_a consequence_n from_o scripture_n yet_o there_o be_v plain_a scripture-proof_n for_o the_o holy_a institution_n of_o imposition_n of_o hand_n upon_o baptize_v believer_n 3._o that_o many_o godly_a person_n in_o several_a age_n have_v oppose_v popish_a lay_v on_o of_o hand_n on_o the_o same_o account_n that_o we_o reject_v popish_a baptism_n and_o not_o otherwise_o 4._o it_o appear_v not_o that_o any_o baptize_v church_n in_o any_o country_n have_v deny_v imposition_n of_o hand_n upon_o believer_n baptize_v as_o such_o to_o be_v a_o institution_n of_o jesus_n christ_n nor_o ever_o write_v against_o it_o as_o some_o in_o this_o nation_n have_v do_v no_o way_n for_o their_o credit_n nor_o honour_n of_o the_o gospel_n these_o thing_n be_v so_o it_o may_v be_v inquire_v what_o ground_n and_o reason_n our_o brethren_n in_o this_o nation_n have_v at_o first_o or_o have_v now_o to_o oppose_v this_o divine_a institution_n of_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n a_o brief_a reply_n to_o a_o book_n call_v a_o treatise_n concern_v lay_v on_o of_o hand_n write_a by_o a_o nameless_a author_n and_o publish_v in_o the_o year_n 1691._o the_o first_o reason_n he_o say_v why_o they_o can_v own_v lay_v on_o of_o hand_n on_o all_o believer_n be_v because_o there_o must_v be_v a_o command_n or_o at_o least_o some_o example_n for_o it_o pag._n 3._o answ_n we_o have_v prove_v in_o the_o precede_a treatise_n that_o we_o have_v both_o a_o command_n and_o example_n for_o it_o if_o a_o command_n of_o god_n and_o a_o oracle_n of_o god_n be_v all_o one_o see_v heb._n 5.12_o that_o which_o be_v a_o oracle_n of_o god_n be_v a_o command_n of_o god_n but_o lay_v on_o of_o hand_n etc._n etc._n be_v a_o oracle_n of_o god_n ergo._fw-la and_o as_o to_o example_n we_o have_v they_o also_o see_v act_n 8._o and_o act_n 19_o 2_o lie_n because_o they_o say_v they_o believe_v neither_o our_o lord_n nor_o his_o disciple_n be_v under_o it_o pag._n 4._o answ_n our_o lord_n we_o have_v show_v be_v under_o it_o the_o father_n lay_v his_o hand_n upon_o he_o when_o he_o come_v out_o of_o the_o water_n and_o thereby_o seal_v he_o the_o holy_a ghost_n in_o the_o likeness_n of_o a_o dove_n rest_v upon_o he_o and_o no_o doubt_n but_o our_o lord_n lay_v his_o hand_n upon_o his_o disciple_n since_o he_o teach_v this_o precept_n as_o a_o principle_n of_o his_o doctrine_n heb._n 6._o 1_o 2._o true_o we_o read_v not_o of_o their_o baptism_n nor_o of_o this_o neither_o therefore_o from_o thence_o they_o may_v as_o well_o say_v they_o be_v not_o baptize_v as_o that_o they_o have_v not_o hand_n lay_v upon_o they_o 3_o lie_n because_o say_v they_o if_o the_o apostle_n be_v under_o it_o they_o must_v have_v a_o administrator_n and_o who_o say_v they_o shall_v that_o be_v p._n 4._o but_o there_o be_v nothing_o say_v of_o it_o etc._n etc._n answ_n 1._o our_o lord_n christ_n may_v be_v the_o administrator_n who_o be_v the_o great_a shepherd_n and_o bishop_n of_o our_o soul_n as_o i_o say_v afore_o 2._o and_o it_o no_o more_o follow_v that_o they_o be_v not_o baptize_v than_o that_o they_o be_v not_o under_o lay_v on_o of_o hand_n i._n e._n because_o there_o be_v nothing_o say_v of_o either_o 4_o lie_n their_o four_o reason_n be_v the_o same_o with_o their_o first_o 5_o lie_n their_o five_o reason_n be_v because_o they_o say_v the_o church_n at_o jerusalem_n be_v not_o under_o it_o pag._n 5._o answ_n be_v not_o the_o hebrew_n church_n the_o church_n at_o jerusalem_n now_o they_o it_o be_v evident_a be_v under_o it_o or_o have_v lay_v it_o not_o lay_v again_o presuppose_v they_o have_v once_o lay_v it_o or_o be_v under_o it_o as_o well_o as_o baptise_a 6_o lie_n their_o six_o reason_n be_v because_o a_o ordinance_n necessary_a to_o church-communion_n ought_v very_o plain_o to_o be_v express_v p._n 6._o answ_n so_o be_v this_o of_o imposition_n of_o hand_n heb._n 5.12_o heb._n 6._o 1_o 2._o act_n 8._o and_o act_n 19.6_o 7_o lie_n because_o they_o say_v our_o lord_n do_v leave_v no_o ordinance_n as_o absolute_o necessary_a to_o church-communion_n but_o such_o as_o hold_v forth_o his_o death_n and_o resurrection_n p._n 9_o as_o baptism_n and_o the_o lord_n supper_n etc._n etc._n answ_n who_o tell_v they_o so_o or_o do_v it_o follow_v that_o because_o baptism_n and_o the_o supper_n be_v figure_n of_o our_o lord_n death_n etc._n etc._n therefore_o this_o must_v be_v a_o figure_n of_o the_o same_o or_o no_o ordinance_n this_o be_v not_o argumentative_a nor_o demonstrative_a 8_o lie_n because_o salvation_n be_v promise_v on_o the_o term_n of_o faith_n repentance_n and_o baptism_n and_o from_o hence_o they_o argue_v there_o be_v no_o need_n of_o any_o such_o ordinance_n as_o this_o of_o lay_v on_o of_o hand_n p._n 7._o answ_n salvation_n be_v promise_v particular_o to_o faith_n he_o that_o believe_v have_v the_o son_n have_v life_n and_o shall_v be_v save_v mark_v 16.16_o therefore_o need_v not_o i_o be_v baptize_v moreover_o i_o deny_v that_o any_o ordinance_n give_v a_o right_a to_o salvation_n any_o other_o way_n than_o as_o it_o be_v a_o evidence_n of_o that_o right_n or_o title_n to_o our_o conscience_n our_o right_a or_o title_n be_v christ_n righteousness_n or_o his_o active_a and_o passive_a obedience_n only_o but_o shall_v a_o man_n be_v convince_v that_o lay_v on_o of_o hand_n church-communion_n order_n and_o discipline_n or_o give_v to_o the_o poor_a etc._n etc._n be_v duty_n which_o he_o omit_v will_v his_o pretend_a faith_n repentance_n and_o baptism_n render_v he_o a_o sincere_a christian_n no_o he_o must_v do_v all_o thing_n christ_n command_v or_o teach_v to_o be_v do_v which_o he_o be_v convince_v of_o as_o well_o as_o those_o three_o thing_n 9_o lie_n their_o nine_o reason_n against_o lay_v on_o of_o hand_n be_v take_v from_o those_o effect_n that_o follow_v this_o ordinance_n viz._n the_o extraordinary_a gift_n of_o the_o spirit_n answ_n the_o same_o effect_n follow_v all_o other_o gospel-ordinance_n this_o we_o have_v also_o answer_v in_o the_o precedent_a treatise_n 10_o lie_n their_o ten_o reason_n be_v because_o the_o holy_a spirit_n be_v sometime_o give_v without_o lay_v on_o of_o hand_n pag._n 8._o answ_n the_o holy_a spirit_n be_v promise_v to_o they_o that_o be_v baptize_v but_o because_o some_o receive_v the_o spirit_n before_o baptize_v need_v they_o not_o be_v baptize_v in_o act_n 10.44_o cornelius_n receive_v the_o spirit_n to_o confirm_v the_o ministration_n of_o the_o word_n to_o the_o gentile_n before_o baptize_v yet_o be_v command_v to_o be_v baptize_v nor_o have_v he_o so_o much_o of_o the_o spirit_n as_o to_o need_v no_o more_o and_o therefore_o come_v under_o this_o ordinance_n also_o beside_o because_o god_n may_v step_v out_o of_o his_o usual_a way_n must_v we_o
