The incomparable Treatise

sign of Gods favour and gracious goodness towards them And that Matrimony signifie h to us the mystical union that is betwixt Christ and his Church Sect. 24. To begin now with the examination of the first proof Though this be granted that confirmation is appointed as a means whereby persons baptised may receive strength and defence against all temptations to sin doth it therefore follow that it is ascribed to Imposition of hands to be a sign and seal of the covenant This is a very great mis-apprehension and huge mistake about this ordinance of confirmation To evidence this I desire what I now offer may be considered and compared with the holy Scripture Sect. 25. Imposition or the Laying on of hands upon persons that have been baptized is not of meer humane invention but of divine authority and therefore the Author to the Hebrews 6.2 he doth reckon it amongst one of the beginnings of the Doctrines of Christ joyning it with the initiating ordinance of Baptism I say this Doctrine of Laying on of hands followeth next in order after the doctrine of Baptism Now for the warranting of this practice now in the Church I shall do two things first give example from Scripture secondly from the practice of the Christian Church in former Ages In Acts 8.14 when the Apostles at Jerusalem heard that Samaria had received the Word and were baptised in the name of the Lord Jesus ver 13. they sent Peter and John which were Apostles also from whence by the way if Peter had been the Prince of the Apostles he would have sent some of those Apostles that sent him to Confirm the people of Samaria in the profession of the Christian Faith Now when they came thither they prayed for those baptised persons ver 15. that they might receive the Holy Ghost both in its extraordinary gifts and saving graces by which they might be confirmed and receive strength against all temptations Now after this prayer what did they they laid their hands upon then ver 17. Behold here a Scripture-warrant for Imposition of hands and prayer for the Holy Ghost the giver of all grace whereby we may receive strength and defence against all temptations to sin Sect. 26. Now that this Ordinance continued in the Charch of God after the Apostles dayes what I have read alledged by St. Jerome doth prove the same saith he in his book advers Lucifer cap. 4. I deny not the custom of the Church was that the Bishop should go abroad and imposing hands pray for the gift of the Holy Ghost on them whom the Presbyters and Deacons for off in lesser Citie had al ealy baptised I desire that this proof may be well considered of for it is serviceable besides the end for which I bring it to inform also in that which is the subject of the third scruple about Deacons and that it may be the better understood I shall make it into these Propositions First that the Imposition of hands by Bishops was the custom of the Church before St. Jeromes time Secondly that this ceremony was attended with prayers as in the Apostles dayes Thirdly that the persons thus confirmed by this sign and prayer were such as were already baptised by the Deacons and Presbyters To all which let me adde but this observation being of great use in what followeth That in the Church of God in St. Jeromes dayes there were three degrees of order in the Gospel-Ministry or Ministerial Function viz. a Bishop a Presbyter and a Deacon Sect. 27. And thus having communicated my thoughts upon a diligent search of the sacred Scriptures as to this ordinance of Consirmation by the Imposition of hands and prayer I suppose it will appear to be a great mistake in those that are offended at what the Rubrick mention before Confirmation As to the second proof I shall say the less for having so fully cleared what is done by the Church of England to be according to the example of the holy Apostles as they affirm in their last prayer at confirmation and therefore this sign of Laying on their hands being no sign or ceremony of their own devising but by divine right it may charitably be concluded that such persons who are made partakers thereof may thereby be certified of Gods favour and gracious goodnesse towards them that they have not onely been baptised but have had an opportunity to make profession of their Faith and have had the prayers of the Church for them to receive strength and defence against all temptations to sin c. Sect. 28. And thus now having examined the proofs brought by Mr. Nicholls for making the sign of Imposition of hands and what is said of Matrimony to be a sacrament or seal of the covenant I leave it to your serious consideration whether this were a ground sufficient for refusal of an universal subscription CHAP. XI That to subscribe to the use of those Ceremonies which have significancy in them as the Surplice and Cross in Baptism is lawful and warrantable proved by the judgment of Forreign and our own Modern Divines both Conformists and Non-conformists Section 1. BEcause that I find this Principle so well improved once that this charge is fastned upon all such rites and ceremonies as have any significancy in them as the Surplice and Cross in Baptism and that to this day though so much be granted That the civil power or Church besides the circumstances of time and Place may order an hundred things which Reason and Nature it self teaches all sober persons to be such as that without some order to be observed in them the Worship of God would not be performed or would be undecently performed Discourse of Liturgies pag. 88. Yet it is denyed that they have any Authority to appoint significative ceremonies which are sensible signs to affect the understanding this is to give them Authority to institute Sacraments as Mr. Nicholls said of old Sect. 9. pag. 88. For the proof of this denyal I find not a word of Scripture or any other reason but this against significant ceremonies We believe them reducible to no command which is his great argument against an Imposed Liturgy We find no command of Christ for it Sect. 2. I am in great hopes that if I can by Scripture or the judgement of such as have been accounted for godly and learned now above all interest or right reason prove the contrary It may be a blessed means of inclining those that are concerned unfeignedly and universally to assent cons●nt and conform to all the Book of common prayer with all the rites and ceremonies according to the Act for Unformity But before I begin I shall lay down this distinction concerning Rites and Ceremonies viz. of Morall and sacramental A rite or ceremony may be significative and represent spiritual objects to our understanding and yet not be a sacramental ceremony Sect. 3. For a Sacrament according as I learned when a child is thus defined to be a signe
