to_o prove_v that_o ordination_n ought_v to_o be_v with_o imposition_n of_o hand_n and_o because_o we_o have_v speak_v brief_o to_o that_o already_o and_o show_v that_o it_o be_v like_o lay_v on_o of_o hand_n be_v of_o extraordinary_a use_n for_o the_o conveyance_n of_o gift_n or_o only_o a_o indifferent_a significant_a ceremony_n to_o declare_v who_o the_o party_n be_v that_o be_v solemn_o

only_o take_v a_o rule_n which_o may_v serve_v as_o part_v of_o a_o answer_n to_o most_o if_o not_o all_o their_o argument_n for_o imposition_n of_o hand_n viz._n that_o it_o be_v usual_a in_o scripture_n to_o express_v thing_n by_o that_o which_o be_v neither_o necessary_a nor_o of_o constant_a use_n about_o they_o so_o chain_n be_v put_v for_o bondage_n and_o suffering_n act._n 28._o

a_o key_n in_o the_o exercise_n of_o power_n or_o government_n nor_o a_o rod_n in_o correction_n nor_o a_o cross_n in_o persecution_n yet_o because_o sometime_o such_o instrument_n be_v use_v in_o such_o case_n therefore_o the_o holy-ghost_n express_v those_o thing_n by_o they_o so_o though_o imposition_n of_o hand_n be_v neither_o of_o necessary_a nor_o of_o constant_a use_n about_o ordination_n yet_o the_o whole_a of_o ordination_n may_v be_v express_v by_o it_o hence_o paul_n forbid_v timothy_n to_o lay_v hand_n sudden_o do_v not_o imply_v that_o it_o be_v his_o duty_n to_o lay_v on_o hand_n or_o that_o he_o must_v necessary_o and_o constant_o use_v that_o ceremony_n but_o that_o it_o be_v duty_n to_o ordain_v man_n which_o they_o assert_v to_o be_v the_o thing_n notify_v by_o lay_v n_o of_o hand_n which_o answer_v their_o second_o argument_n so_o the_o whole_a work_n of_o ordination_n may_v be_v comprehend_v under_o the_o ceremony_n of_o imposition_n of_o hand_n 1_o tim._n 5._o 22._o and_o yet_o it_o may_v not_o be_v of_o necessary_a and_o constant_a use_n about_o it_o any_o more_o than_o in_o the_o former_a instance_n the_o put_v a_o chain_n for_o bondage_n and_o key_n for_o the_o whole_a of_o government_n and_o rod_n for_o all_o correction_n and_o cross_v for_o all_o affliction_n etc._n etc._n will_v imply_v that_o they_o necessary_o and_o constant_o belong_v to_o they_o which_o answer_v their_o three_o and_o four_o argument_n it_o be_v sufficient_a that_o imposition_n of_o hand_n be_v sometime_o use_v about_o ordination_n to_o render_v the_o whole_a of_o it_o express_v thereby_o but_o it_o do_v not_o prove_v the_o constant_a use_n of_o the_o ceremony_n to_o be_v necessary_a but_o only_o of_o ordination_n which_o be_v the_o thing_n signify_v by_o that_o ceremony_n we_o proceed_v to_o their_o four_o assertion_n viz._n that_o ordination_n of_o minister_n ought_v to_o be_v by_o the_o lay_n on_o of_o the_o hand_n of_o 181._o jus_fw-la divin_n min._n p._n 181._o the_o presbytery_n after_o a_o brief_a explication_n of_o the_o word_n presbytery_n etc._n etc._n they_o come_v to_o that_o which_o as_o they_o tell_v we_o they_o especial_o aim_v at_o in_o this_o four_o assertion_n and_o they_o give_v it_o under_o this_o follow_a proposition_n propos_fw-fr that_o ordination_n of_o minister_n do_v belong_v to_o church_n officer_n and_o not_o to_o a_o church_n without_o officer_n and_o that_o ordination_n by_o people_n without_o minister_n be_v a_o pervert_n of_o the_o ordinance_n and_o of_o no_o more_o force_n than_o baptism_n by_o a_o midwife_n or_o consecration_n of_o the_o lord_n supper_n by_o a_o person_n out_o of_o the_o office_n we_o shall_v give_v some_o argument_n to_o prove_v the_o lawfulness_n and_o validity_n of_o the_o people_n ordination_n and_o then_o answer_v their_o argument_n against_o it_o our_o proposition_n be_v this_o pro._n that_o in_o a_o church_n which_o have_v no_o officer_n or_o officer_n in_o it_o some_o believer_n may_v lawful_o or_o warrantable_o ordain_v without_o officer_n we_o say_v in_o a_o church_n that_o have_v no_o officer_n for_o if_o a_o church_n have_v officer_n in_o it_o they_o may_v go_v before_o the_o church_n in_o ordination_n as_o well_o as_o in_o pray_v on_o other_o occasion_n and_o preach_a etc._n etc._n that_o only_a officer_n must_v act_v in_o it_o in_o such_o a_o case_n be_v not_o clear_a to_o we_o as_o suppose_v a_o church_n have_v but_o two_o officer_n in_o it_o we_o do_v not_o see_v any_o necessity_n that_o the_o whole_a work_n of_o the_o day_n must_v lie_v upon_o they_o only_o but_o some_o believer_n i._n e._n such_o as_o have_v most_o of_o the_o spirit_n of_o prayer_n be_v desire_v may_v lend_v assistance_n but_o whether_o that_o may_v be_v or_o not_o it_o be_v sufficient_a to_o our_o present_a purpose_n and_o to_o any_o case_n that_o necessary_o fall_v out_o in_o the_o congregational_a way_n if_o it_o can_v be_v prove_v that_o when_o a_o church_n have_v no_o officer_n of_o its_o own_o then_o some_o believer_n be_v depute_v or_o choose_v thereunto_o by_o the_o church_n may_v ordain_v without_o the_o necessary_a concurrence_n of_o any_o officer_n and_o we_o say_v some_o believer_n may_v ordain_v without_o officer_n not_o must_v for_o we_o do_v not_o reckon_v ordination_n a_o act_n of_o government_n and_o therefore_o church_n may_v for_o aught_o we_o yet_o see_v hold_v communion_n each_o with_o other_o in_o it_o as_o well_o as_o in_o solemn_a prayer_n upon_o upon_o any_o other_o occasion_n and_o so_o officer_n of_o other_o church_n may_v act_v in_o it_o yet_o not_o qua_fw-la officer_n but_o qua_fw-la gift_v and_o man_n gift_v may_v without_o any_o officer_n ordain_v for_o it_o be_v a_o matter_n wherein_o the_o church_n have_v its_o liberty_n who_o it_o will_v depute_v thereunto_o when_o it_o want_v officer_n and_o it_o be_v not_o necessary_o confine_v to_o officer_n as_o if_o none_o else_o may_v act_v in_o it_o if_o a_o church_n have_v officer_n the_o law_n of_o their_o relation_n to_o the_o church_n put_v they_o under_o obligation_n to_o go_v before_o the_o church_n in_o ordination_n as_o well_o as_o in_o other_o duty_n as_o preach_v administer_a of_o the_o sacrament_n etc._n etc._n and_o therefore_o where_o officer_n be_v in_o a_o church_n they_o act_n as_o officer_n in_o ordination_n as_o well_o as_o they_o do_v in_o prayer_n upon_o other_o solemn_a occasion_n wherein_o undoubted_o other_o christian_n eminent_o gi_v may_v act_v in_o prayer_n yet_o do_v it_o not_o as_o officer_n this_o be_v our_o sense_n of_o the_o question_n yet_o because_o our_o brethren_n do_v account_v ordination_n to_o be_v a_o act_n of_o government_n yea_o a_o eminent_a act_n of_o jurisdiction_n therefore_o if_o in_o some_o of_o our_o argument_n may_v seem_v to_o speak_v of_o ordination_n as_o a_o act_n of_o government_n &_o of_o officer_n as_o officer_n yet_o we_o do_v not_o

that_o some_o believer_n may_v not_o lawful_o or_o warrantable_o ordain_v without_o officer_n in_o a_o church_n that_o have_v no_o officer_n in_o it_o that_o will_v necessary_o and_o unavoidable_o
