form_n of_o ordination_n which_o come_v near_a to_o the_o gospel-pattern_n aught_o to_o be_v use_v but_o imposition_n of_o hand_n in_o ordination_n be_v that_o form_n which_o come_v near_a to_o the_o

day_n use_v to_o cry_v out_o so_o much_o all_o thing_n must_v be_v make_v according_a to_o the_o pattern_n in_o the_o mount_n and_o why_o now_o i_o pray_v must_v not_o thing_n be_v do_v according_a to_o the_o pattern_n of_o the_o gospel_n what_o do_v you_o make_v of_o it_o that_o which_o you_o may_v follow_v or_o let_v alone_o as_o you_o please_v what_o be_v say_v against_o this_o i_o shall_v meet_v with_o anon_o for_o the_o minor_n bring_v we_o forth_o those_o rule_n or_o example_n which_o show_v that_o man_n may_v be_v ordain_v or_o be_v ordain_v without_o imposition_n of_o hand_n that_o church-officer_n be_v ordain_v with_o imposition_n the_o text_n be_v know_v as_o before_o mention_v arg._n 2._o if_o the_o gospel_n express_v the_o whole_a ordinance_n of_o ordination_n by_o imposition_n of_o hand_n than_o imposition_n of_o hand_n in_o ordination_n ought_v to_o be_v use_v but_o the_o antecedent_n be_v true_a ergo_fw-la the_o consequent_a be_v true_a the_o consequence_n be_v clear_a for_o why_o shall_v the_o apostle_n mention_n that_o which_o be_v but_o needless_a or_o at_o least_o but_o indifferent_a to_o set_v out_o a_o ordinance_n by_o obj._n but_o it_o be_v say_v

those_o five_o thing_n in_o it_o which_o chemnitius_n ib._n p._n 221._o tell_v we_o than_o i_o know_v no_o reason_n why_o he_o shall_v call_v it_o a_o indifferent_a thing_n at_o the_o end_n of_o that_o paragraph_n he_o be_v still_o speak_v of_o imposition_n as_o i_o think_v and_o say_v nititur_fw-la mandato_fw-la etc._n etc._n have_v quote_v act_n 13.3_o see_v zanchy_a 4._o praec_fw-la p._n 785_o 786._o doctor_n owen_n in_o his_o review_n before_o quote_v p._n 23_o 24._o say_v for_o that_o part_n of_o ordination_n which_o consist_v in_o the_o imposition_n of_o hand_n by_o the_o presbytery_n where_o it_o may_v be_v obtain_v according_a to_o the_o mind_n of_o christ_n i_o be_o also_o very_o remote_a from_o manage_v any_o opposition_n to_o it_o i_o think_v it_o necessary_a by_o virtue_n of_o precept_n and_o that_o to_o be_v continue_v in_o a_o way_n of_o succession_n it_o be_v i_o say_v according_a to_o the_o mind_n of_o christ_n that_o he_o who_o be_v to_o be_v ordain_v unto_o office_n in_o any_o church_n receive_v imposition_n of_o hand_n from_o the_o elder_n of_o that_o church_n if_o there_o be_v any_o therein_o but_o what_o i_o pray_v if_o there_o be_v no_o elder_n what_o be_v the_o mind_n of_o christ_n then_o that_o they_o must_v be_v ordain_v without_o it_o here_o the_o doctor_n conceal_v his_o judgement_n but_o i_o can_v help_v the_o reader_n to_o understand_v his_o judgement_n if_o he_o have_v not_o change_v it_o he_o will_v have_v ordain_v i_o with_o imposition_n of_o hand_n and_o there_o be_v no_o elder_n in_o our_o church_n to_o do_v it_o if_o the_o other_o minister_n will_v have_v impose_v hand_n also_o then_o still_o i_o have_v reason_n to_o refuse_v a_o ordination_n where_o something_o of_o a_o precept_n be_v leave_v out_o unless_o a_o scripture_n can_v be_v bring_v to_o prove_v that_o the_o necessity_n of_o it_o by_o virtue_n of_o precept_n cease_v where_o there_o be_v no_o elder_n in_o the_o church_n this_o scripture_n be_v

then_o 1._o this_o will_v give_v a_o man_n more_o satisfaction_n as_o to_o his_o ordination_n whether_o it_o be_v regular_a or_o not_o when_o he_o find_v it_o answer_v the_o apostolical_a example_n i_o will_v not_o have_v that_o scruple_n to_o lie_v upon_o i_o about_o my_o own_o ordination_n whether_o it_o be_v valid_a or_o not_o because_o i_o have_v imposition_n for_o much_o 2._o this_o will_v tend_v more_o to_o union_n for_o now_o there_o be_v a_o occasion_n of_o difference_n for_o want_n of_o this_o 3._o it_o be_v great_a and_o just_a matter_n of_o offence_n to_o the_o episcopal_a party_n who_o in_o some_o case_n do_v allow_v presbyter_n may_v ordain_v but_o whether_o ordination_n can_v be_v without_o imposition_n of_o hand_n i_o do_v not_o know_v they_o be_v resolve_v for_o the_o

aught_o to_o be_v do_v 4._o imposition_n of_o hand_n which_o we_o conceive_v apostolical_a man_n direct_v by_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n translate_v from_o the_o old_a testament_n to_o the_o new_a have_v a_o express_a command_n for_o it_o in_o the_o separation_n of_o levite_n to_o their_o office_n numb_a 8.10_o it_o be_v not_o indifferent_a then_o why_o now_o 5._o when_o the_o apostle_n give_v

in_o this_o part_n of_o institute_v worship_n i_o think_v the_o act_n itself_o must_v needs_o be_v command_v for_o act_n in_o themselves_o civil_a and_o use_v among_o man_n even_o heathen_n as_o be_v

be_v true_a but_o i_o suppose_v not_o to_o the_o mere_a civil_a act_n of_o other_o nation_n but_o from_o hence_o to_o cast_v out_o imposition_n i_o can_v yield_v to_o it_o for_o 1._o i_o can_v find_v that_o it_o be_v their_o custom_n to_o separate_v man_n in_o civil_a state_n to_o the_o office_n of_o a_o magistrate_n by_o imposition_n of_o hand_n and_o that_o god_n take_v this_o up_o from_o they_o joshua_n indeed_o be_v thus_o appoint_v to_o his_o office_n but_o by_o a_o command_n from_o god_n numb_a 27.18_o but_o where_o do_v we_o find_v this_o civil_a custom_n before_o thus_o to_o lay_v hand_n on_o magistrate_n 2._o the_o thing_n the_o scripture_n intend_v in_o the_o civil_a act_n of_o nation_n we_o may_v show_v and_o exercise_v though_o we_o follow_v not_o the_o civil_a custom_n of_o other_o nation_n but_o this_o be_v a_o act_n belong_v to_o institute_v worship_n i_o know_v not_o how_o the_o thing_n itself_o be_v perform_v at_o least_o not_o perfect_o without_o it_o 34.9_o deut._n 34.9_o as_o for_o joshua_n though_o the_o spirit_n of_o the_o lord_n be_v give_v in_o a_o large_a measure_n at_o this_o imposition_n yet_o this_o be_v not_o the_o only_a end_n intend_v for_o then_o moses_n may_v have_v impose_v his_o hand_n in_o a_o private_a tent_n and_o not_o before_o all_o the_o congregation_n and_o there_o give_v he_o his_o charge_n v._o 22_o 23._o but_o moses_n do_v by_o this_o act_n declare_v the_o designation_n and_o ordination_n of_o joshua_n to_o his_o office_n before_o the_o whole_a congregation_n so_o it_o be_v in_o ordain_v of_o minister_n 3._o if_o it_o be_v a_o jewish_a custom_n and_o upon_o that_o account_n only_o use_v why_o shall_v paul_n command_v timothy_n a_o greek_a to_o use_v it_o and_o that_o in_o ordination_n of_o officer_n to_o

without_o it_o at_o least_o as_o irregular_a and_o let_v i_o speak_v my_o mind_n free_o i_o will_v rather_o choose_v to_o be_v ordain_v by_o a_o bishop_n and_o presbyter_n which_o many_o cry_n out_o upon_o as_o antichristian_a then_o be_v ordain_v by_o any_o other_o without_o imposition_n now_o let_v we_o see_v what_o mr._n noyes_n have_v write_v against_o it_o i_o shall_v begin_v at_o his_o

can_v be_v make_v good_a i_o shall_v not_o much_o stand_n upon_o imposition_n he_o say_v those_o example_n be_v not_o a_o warrant_n for_o we_o because_o they_o be_v either_o extraordinary_a person_n
