by_o this_o penman_n to_o put_v and_o reckon_v it_o among_o such_o principle_n of_o the_o christian_a religion_n as_o repentance_n faith_n baptism_n the_o resurrection_n and_o eternal_a judgement_n and_o these_o grant_v by_o all_o under_o the_o least_o profession_n of_o christianity_n to_o be_v foundation-doctrine_n this_o be_v premise_v we_o notwithstanding_o deny_v that_o it_o be_v either_o lay_v on_o of_o hand_n for_o heal_v the_o sick_a or_o for_o give_v the_o extraordinary_a gift_n of_o the_o holy_a spirit_n much_o less_o the_o lay_n on_o of_o hand_n practise_v by_o some_o in_o these_o day_n as_o you_o may_v further_o see_v in_o chap._n 4._o i._n here_o can_v be_v mean_v lay_v on_o of_o hand_n for_o heal_v or_o recover_v the_o sick_a and_o that_o for_o these_o reason_n 1._o because_o the_o gift_n or_o power_n of_o heal_v by_o lay_v on_o of_o hand_n be_v cease_v now_o that_o can_v be_v a_o principle_n etc._o etc._o which_o be_v not_o in_o force_n in_o all_o age_n nor_o any_o man_n capable_a to_o practise_v it_o at_o the_o first_o promise_n of_o give_v this_o power_n it_o be_v accompany_v only_o with_o miraculous_a gift_n mar._n 16._o 17_o 18._o in_o my_o name_n shall_v they_o cast_v out_o devil_n they_o shall_v speak_v with_o new_a tongue_n they_o shall_v take_v up_o serpent_n and_o if_o they_o drink_v any_o deadly_a thing_n it_o shall_v not_o hurt_v they_o they_o shall_v lay_v hand_n on_o the_o sick_a and_o they_o shall_v recover_v now_o how_o dangerous_a and_o destructive_a a_o principle_n be_v this_o that_o miracle_n shall_v be_v of_o the_o essence_n of_o religion_n as_o principle_n be_v and_o yet_o no_o power_n to_o practise_v they_o 2._o as_o it_o be_v necessary_a a_o foundation-principle_n shall_v continue_v and_o be_v in_o force_n in_o all_o age_n so_o it_o be_v necessary_a also_o it_o shall_v concern_v the_o whole_a church_n and_o every_o member_n thereof_o as_o a_o foundation_n do_v the_o whole_a and_o every_o part_n of_o the_o building_n to_o support_v and_o uphold_v it_o admit_v then_o this_o power_n be_v now_o in_o force_n how_o will_v the_o heal_n of_o any_o one_o particular_a member_n concern_v the_o whole_a body_n as_o a_o principle_n etc._n etc._n therefore_o we_o conclude_v that_o lay_v on_o of_o hand_n for_o recover_v the_o sick_a can_v be_v that_o principle_n etc._o etc._o heb._n 6._o ii_o the_o lay_n on_o of_o hand_n for_o give_v the_o extraordinary_a gift_n of_o the_o holy_a spirit_n can_v be_v mean_v here_o and_o that_o for_o these_o reason_n 1._o because_o as_o before_o this_o power_n of_o give_v the_o extraordinary_a gift_n of_o the_o holy_a spirit_n be_v now_o cease_v as_o appear_v by_o the_o practice_n of_o it_o at_o this_o day_n for_o although_o so_o many_o have_v have_v hand_n lay_v upon_o they_o to_o this_o end_n yet_o these_o extraordinary_a gift_n have_v never_o follow_v to_o any_o one_o of_o they_o but_o both_o they_o and_o the_o administrator_n be_v and_o remain_v as_o other_o man_n yet_o to_o call_v this_o a_o principle_n etc._o etc._o what_o be_v this_o but_o to_o grant_v that_o one_o of_o the_o foundation-stone_n of_o the_o christian_a building_n be_v now_o lose_v and_o if_o but_o a_o part_n of_o the_o foundation_n fail_v how_o torture_v must_v the_o whole_a building_n stand_v and_o will_v soon_o decay_v and_o come_v to_o nothing_o and_o it_o be_v well_o know_v that_o a_o principle_n in_o all_o art_n and_o science_n be_v of_o constant_a and_o stand_a use_n 2._o that_o this_o lay_n on_o of_o hand_n can_v be_v the_o principle_n heb._n 6._o because_o this_o lay_n on_o of_o hand_n be_v there_o call_v a_o doctrine_n ver._n 1_o 2._o but_o that_o lay_v on_o of_o hand_n to_o give_v the_o holy_a spirit_n be_v never_o once_o teach_v in_o all_o the_o new_a testament_n no_o not_o by_o they_o that_o practise_v it_o 3._o if_o this_o lay_n on_o of_o hand_n be_v the_o principle_n then_o this_o very_a church_n of_o the_o hebrew_n the_o first_o constitute_v church_n in_o the_o new_a testament_n after_o christ_n ascension_n this_o church_n be_v the_o same_o with_o that_o act._n 1_o and_o 2_o have_v want_v a_o principle_n in_o religion_n which_o be_v very_o absurd_a to_o imagine_v for_o they_o themselves_o have_v not_o lay_v on_o of_o hand_n to_o this_o end_n act._n 8._o be_v the_o first_o place_n that_o ever_o it_o be_v practise_v and_o sure_o in_o all_o matter_n about_o worship_n the_o write_a word_n must_v be_v our_o rule_n and_o to_o the_o scripture_n silence_n we_o must_v give_v consent_n according_a to_o that_o proverb_n where_o god_n have_v not_o a_o mouth_n to_o speak_v we_o must_v not_o have_v a_o ear_n to_o hear_v beside_o that_o they_o have_v not_o lay_v on_o of_o hand_n to_o this_o end_n be_v evident_a because_o they_o receive_v the_o extraordinary_a gift_n of_o the_o holy_a spirit_n without_o it_o act._n 2._o verse_n 1_o 2_o 3_o 4_o 5_o etc._n etc._n therefore_o we_o conclude_v that_o neither_o of_o these_o two_o lay_n on_o of_o hand_n can_v be_v mean_v in_o heb._n 6._o 9_o chap._n iii_o what_o lay_v on_o of_o hand_n be_v and_o must_v be_v mean_v heb._n 6._o 2._o for_o the_o better_a resolve_v this_o question_n we_o must_v take_v notice_n that_o it_o be_v lay_v on_o of_o hand_n here_o in_o the_o singular_a number_n {non-roman}_o {non-roman}_o {non-roman}_o {non-roman}_o {non-roman}_o etc._o etc._o therefore_o can_v be_v but_o one_o lay_v on_o of_o hand_n that_o be_v call_v here_o a_o principle_n etc._o etc._o and_o not_o more_o as_o some_o will_v have_v it_o for_o than_o it_o shall_v be_v lay_n on_o of_o hand_n in_o the_o plural_a number_n as_o in_o the_o same_o place_n when_o the_o apostle_n will_v understand_v more_o baptism_n than_o one_o he_o say_v the_o doctrine_n of_o baptism_n in_o the_o plural_a number_n this_o be_v consider_v we_o must_v remember_v what_o go_v before_o that_o it_o be_v neither_o lay_v on_o of_o hand_n for_o heal_v the_o sick_a nor_o for_o give_v the_o extraordinary_a gift_n of_o the_o holy_a spirit_n then_o it_o must_v be_v lay_v on_o of_o hand_n for_o ordain_v of_o officer_n which_o will_v more_o clear_o appear_v by_o this_o argument_n it_o must_v be_v lay_v on_o of_o hand_n either_o for_o heal_v the_o sick_a or_o for_o give_v the_o extraordinary_a gift_n of_o the_o holy_a spirit_n or_o for_o ordain_v of_o officer_n but_o neither_o for_o heal_v the_o sick_a nor_o for_o give_v the_o extraordinary_a gift_n of_o the_o holy_a spirit_n therefore_o for_o ordain_v of_o officer_n for_o the_o first_o proposition_n that_o it_o must_v be_v for_o one_o of_o these_o three_o end_n because_o there_o be_v no_o other_o lay_v on_o of_o hand_n upon_o any_o other_o account_n in_o all_o the_o new_a testament_n for_o the_o second_o proposition_n that_o it_o be_v neither_o for_o heal_v the_o sick_a nor_o for_o give_v the_o holy_a spirit_n have_v be_v already_o prove_v chap._n 2._o therefore_o it_o follow_v it_o must_v be_v lay_v on_o of_o hand_n for_o appoint_v of_o officer_n and_o this_o shall_v suffice_v for_o the_o first_o argument_n 2._o that_o lay_v on_o of_o hand_n for_o officer_n be_v here_o mean_v will_v further_o appear_v because_o this_o lay_n on_o of_o hand_n be_v call_v a_o doctrine_n ver._n 1._o and_o therefore_o must_v be_v a_o lay_n on_o of_o hand_n which_o be_v somewhere_o else_o teach_v but_o the_o other_o lay_n on_o of_o hand_n be_v never_o once_o teach_v but_o this_o lay_n on_o of_o hand_n be_v teach_v viz._n by_o the_o apostle_n paul_n 1_o tim._n 5_o 22._o lay_v hand_n sudden_o on_o no_o man_n that_o be_v admit_v none_o rash_o or_o too_o hasty_o into_o office_n and_o that_o this_o concern_v officer_n see_v before_o chap._n 1._o in_o this_o verse_n there_o be_v two_o thing_n teach_v one_o express_v the_o other_o necessary_o imply_v that_o which_o be_v express_v be_v that_o timothy_n shall_v not_o sudden_o lay_v hand_n on_o any_o man_n that_o which_o be_v employ_v be_v that_o it_o be_v to_o be_v do_v if_o advise_o if_o not_o to_o be_v do_v at_o all_o it_o be_v frivolous_a to_o say_v it_o shall_v not_o be_v do_v sudden_o thus_o you_o see_v the_o apostle_n paul_n teach_v this_o lay_n on_o of_o hand_n which_o in_o heb._n 6._o he_o call_v a_o doctrine_n now_o lest_o any_o shall_v say_v that_o this_o lay_n on_o of_o hand_n concern_v all_o baptise_a believer_n we_o therefore_o shall_v enmind_v they_o that_o from_o their_o own_o principle_n and_o practice_n this_o can_v be_v because_o they_o lay_v hand_n on_o all_o their_o disciple_n immediate_o upon_o their_o baptism_n and_o therefore_o leave_v no_o room_n for_o this_o word_n sudden_o in_o the_o apostle_n exhortation_n and_o it_o be_v sore_o against_o their_o will_n if_o they_o may_v not_o lay_v their_o hand_n sudden_o upon_o
