A57271 Laying on of hands asserted: or, A plain discovery of the truth thereof under those several considerations, minded in the New Testament. 1. Upon persons for healing: with a brief discovery of that ordinance of Christ, (to wit) anointing with oile. 2. Upon persons to office. 3. Upon believers, baptized, as such: and that principle of Christs doctrine cleared, for their obedience: with objections answered to each particular. To which is annexed, a confutation of four chapters written by some person, or persons, in opposition to this principle of the doctrine of Christ, (to wit) laying on of hands upon believers baptized, as such; wherein the weakness of their reasons against the truth, is plainly discovered, and the truth further asserted, and vindicated.

and_o so_o indeed_o fit_a for_o the_o work_n of_o the_o lord_n among_o his_o people_n as_o well_o as_o bishop_n and_o so_o be_v elder_n in_o the_o church_n see_v act_n 6._o 6._o vers._n and_o act._n

god_n have_v set_v some_o in_o the_o church_n first_o apostle_n etc._n etc._n so_o christ_n do_v ascend_v and_o give_v gift_n unto_o man_n and_o that_o some_o to_o be_v apostle_n as_o well_o as_o
