to_o unction_n nor_o seem_v so_o much_o to_o ascribe_v to_o his_o extraordinary_a prophetic_a spirit_n as_o to_o the_o prayer_n of_o faith_n therefore_o fetch_v a_o argument_n therefrom_o to_o

that_o the_o apostle_n have_v no_o intent_n to_o ordain_v any_o sacramental_a rite_n or_o church_n ordinance_n be_v this_o if_o it_o have_v be_v so_o he_o will_v not_o have_v change_v the_o

of_o a_o fever_n and_o bloody_a flux_n act_v 28.8_o now_o see_v all_o the_o apostle_n stand_v by_o the_o elementary_a part_n of_o christ_n institution_n which_o he_o ordain_v both_o in_o baptism_n and_o the_o lord_n supper_n it_o be_v not_o in_o the_o least_o probable_a that_o the_o apostle_n james_n will_v make_v any_o such_o alteration_n in_o a_o sacramental_a institution_n nor_o be_v lead_v
