church_n transcribe_v as_o holy_a platform_n of_o their_o build_n the_o water_n of_o baptism_n the_o bread_n and_o wine_n in_o the_o other_o sacrament_n the_o distinction_n of_o their_o hierarchy_n

be_v not_o so_o hardly_o answer_v as_o he_o who_o ask_v what_o god_n do_v before_o he_o make_v the_o world_n what_o kind_n of_o fruit_n it_o be_v by_o which_o our_o first_o parent_n fall_v where_o

superfluous_a or_o vain_a but_o make_v order_n to_o distinguish_v his_o creation_n from_o a_o chaos_n without_o which_o his_o six_o day_n work_n have_v still_o lie_v in_o a_o confusion_n proceed_v by_o a_o reason_n nay_o a_o multitude_n of_o reason_n in_o this_o way_n of_o give_v order_n to_o his_o church_n for_o first_o what_o will_v man_n have_v he_o do_v issue_n forth_o commission_n to_o the_o ruler_n of_o his_o church_n as_o he_o do_v to_o the_o apostle_n in_o miracle_n nad_z wonder_n have_v he_o go_v no_o further_a he_o must_v have_v still_o wrought_v wonder_n to_o persuade_v the_o doubt_a world_n that_o they_o be_v ruler_n send_v by_o he_o and_o so_o when_o such_o miracle_n such_o sign_n and_o wonder_n cease_v the_o church_n for_o want_v of_o miracle_n must_v have_v want_v ruler_n and_o then_o for_o want_v of_o ruler_n must_v have_v cease_v to_o be_v a_o church_n the_o gift_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n which_o i_o mention_v to_o you_o before_o though_o they_o make_v man_n fit_a and_o prepare_v they_o to_o be_v ruler_n yet_o be_v invisible_a secret_a and_o unseen_a without_o some_o outward_a mark_n to_o make_v they_o own_a and_o know_v to_o those_o who_o know_v they_o not_o woo_a but_o have_v past_a for_o private_a spirit_n not_o able_a to_o gain_v public_a faith_n to_o the_o person_n thus_o commission_v some_o outward_a mark_n be_v needful_a then_o to_o let_v the_o people_n know_v who_o the_o person_n be_v who_o god_n design_v to_o be_v their_o guide_n as_o to_o let_v the_o jew_n know_v that_o christ_n be_v to_o be_v their_o head_n the_o holy_a ghost_n descend_v on_o he_o in_o the_o figure_n of_o a_o dove_n and_o to_o let_v all_o nation_n know_v who_o be_v to_o be_v their_o teacher_n in_o the_o sight_n of_o all_o nation_n then_o assemble_v at_o jerusalem_n the_o holy_a ghost_n fall_v on_o the_o apostle_n in_o cleave_a tongue_n of_o fire_n so_o to_o let_v after-age_n know_v who_o be_v to_o be_v their_o leader_n the_o same_o holy_a ghost_n appoint_v the_o lay_v on_o of_o hand_n as_o the_o way_n and_o form_n of_o issue_v forth_o his_o commission_n by_o the_o church_n and_o the_o reason_n of_o this_o ceremony_n be_v yet_o more_o clear_o these_o there_o be_v two_o way_n say_v the_o civil_a law_n by_o which_o man_n take_v possession_n and_o so_o gain_v a_o propriety_n in_o a_o thing_n which_o be_v not_o they_o if_o it_o be_v a_o thing_n immovable_a as_o land_n tenement_n or_o house_n by_o tread_v on_o the_o soil_n they_o take_v possession_n by_o their_o foot_n if_o it_o be_v a_o movable_a as_o good_n money_n ware_n or_o servant_n to_o gain_v to_o themselves_o a_o property_n they_o take_v possession_n by_o their_o hand_n so_o when_o god_n call_v a_o man_n to_o be_v his_o minister_n or_o servant_n as_o to_o preach_v or_o bear_v some_o public_a office_n in_o his_o church_n by_o the_o hand_n of_o his_o church_n he_o take_v possession_n of_o he_o and_o the_o person_n thus_o lay_v hand_n on_o be_v no_o more_o his_o own_o but_o go_n next_o this_o lay_v on_o of_o hand_n as_o it_o be_v a_o form_n of_o alienation_n by_o which_o the_o person_n thus_o ordain_v do_v quit_v all_o interest_n in_o himself_o and_o past_o himself_o away_o to_o the_o service_n of_o god_n church_n so_o it_o be_v a_o form_n of_o hallow_v and_o consecration_n too_o the_o case_n stand_v with_o man_n ordain_v as_o it_o do_v with_o other_o thing_n make_v holy_a as_o for_o example_n in_o the_o old_a testament_n a_o beast_n in_o the_o herd_n be_v but_o a_o common_a creature_n of_o the_o field_n indifferent_a for_o the_o shambles_n or_o to_o be_v make_v a_o sacrifice_n but_o be_v fetch_v from_o thence_o and_o bring_v into_o the_o temple_n when_o the_o priest_n which_o wait_v there_o have_v lay_v their_o hand_n upon_o he_o he_o be_v

and_o there_o be_v touch_v and_o hallow_v by_o the_o priest_n that_o which_o be_v a_o loaf_n become_v the_o body_n of_o our_o saviour_n in_o short_a as_o holiness_n in_o the_o best_a and_o strict_a

because_o a_o common_a part_n of_o time_n be_v divide_v from_o the_o rest_n and_o allot_v to_o god_n service_n so_o a_o man_n thus_o ordain_v by_o the_o lay_n on_o of_o hand_n become_v a_o person_n
