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. By VVilliam Rider, servant to the Church of Christ.	Rider, William, fl. 1656.	1656 (1656)	Wing R1444A; ESTC R217997	59,976	201

lay_n on_o of_o hand_n in_o the_o hebrew_n samaria_n and_o ephesia_n yea_o a_o four_o witness_n we_o have_v unto_o this_o truth_n which_o be_v paul_n lay_v on_o his_o hand_n upon_o timothy_n as_o be_v before_o mind_a so_o that_o i_o say_v person_n may_v as_o well_o object_n against_o other_o truth_n of_o christ_n as_o against_o this_o but_o this_o we_o know_v in_o the_o mouth_n of_o two_o or_o

do_v and_o have_v do_v against_o baptism_n 6._o reason_n because_o it_o be_v that_o which_o be_v milk_n for_o babe_n a_o beginning-word_n of_o christ_n read_v heb._n 5._o 12_o 13._o you_o be_v say_v

person_n who_o deny_v it_o to_o believer_n as_o believer_n yet_o will_v own_v it_o for_o set_v person_n apart_o for_o office_n o_o what_o deceit_n be_v wrap_v up_o in_o this_o but_o sure_o this_o be_v for_o babe_n and_o the_o hebrew_n learn_v it_o in_o that_o condition_n and_o this_o be_v certain_a that_o which_o be_v for_o babe_n then_o be_v for_o babe_n now_o and_o that_o which_o be_v for_o

to_o these_o scripture_n mark_n 16._o 18._o and_o act_n 28._o 8._o or_o else_o for_o set_v person_n apart_o for_o office_n according_a to_o act_n 6._o 6._o or_o act_n 13._o 3._o answ._n to_o which_o i_o answer_v that_o it_o can_v be_v so_o mean_v for_o this_o reason_n because_o in_o none_o of_o those_o scripture_n lay_v on_o of_o hand_n be_v lay_v down_o as_o a_o foundation-principle_n as_o we_o see_v here_o in_o heb._n 6._o 2._o lay_v on_o of_o hand_n be_v so_o lay_v down_o for_o consider_v those_o scripture_n mark_n 16._o 18._o and_o act_n 28._o 8._o do_v hold_v forth_o no_o such_o thing_n

18._o and_o paul_n receive_v act_n 28._o 8._o as_o also_o philip_n act_n 8._o and_o many_o other_o as_o many_o in_o the_o church_n of_o corinth_n which_o be_v no_o more_o a_o foundation-principle_n neither_o in_o the_o practice_n milk_n for_o babe_n then_o lay_v on_o of_o hand_n which_o some_o make_v mention_n of_o in_o luke_n 21._o 12._o so_o likewise_o those_o scripture_n act_n 6._o 6._o and_o 13._o 3._o hold_v forth_o no_o more_o a_o foundation-principle_n than_o the_o former_a and_o that_o because_o lay_v on_o of_o hand_n here_o be_v upon_o particular_a man_n who_o be_v set_v apart_o for_o particular_a office_n and_o that_o for_o the_o good_a of_o the_o church_n of_o christ_n this_o be_v not_o to_o babe_n but_o strong_a man_n the_o apostle_n reckon_v up_o the_o hebrew_n babe_n as_o heb._n 5._o 12._o but_o these_o be_v strong_a man_n who_o be_v fit_a to_o be_v employ_v in_o the_o work_n of_o the_o ministry_n such_o as_o the_o apostle_n speak_v of_o in_o heb._n 5._o 14._o who_o by_o reason_n of_o use_n have_v their_o sense_n exercise_v to_o discern_v both_o good_a and_o evil_a such_o who_o be_v go_v beyond_o those_o speak_v of_o in_o the_o 12._o and_o 13._o vers._n be_v in_o a_o capacity_n of_o teach_v other_o therefore_o lay_v on_o of_o hand_n in_o the_o forementioned_a scripture_n upon_o person_n for_o heal_v or_o for_o set_v person_n apart_o for_o office_n can_v be_v that_o mean_v in_o heb._n 6._o 2._o as_o the_o foundation_n or_o beginning-principle_n which_o be_v milk_n for_o babe_n heb._n 5._o 12._o and_o therefore_o i_o do_v conclude_v that_o lay_v on_o of_o hand_n upon_o believer_n as_o believer_n be_v the_o foundation-principle_n the_o beginning-word_n of_o christ_n that_o which_o concern_v every_o believe_a soul_n which_o be_v food_n to_o

find_v it_o write_v we_o shall_v not_o take_v away_o the_o child_n bread_n and_o give_v it_o unto_o dog_n so_o let_v we_o not_o take_v away_o their_o milk_n but_o feed_v they_o with_o it_o etc._n etc._n 7._o reason_n because_o it_o be_v part_n of_o the_o word_n of_o the_o lord_n that_o be_v confirm_v unto_o we_o that_o it_o be_v the_o word_n of_o christ_n have_v be_v plain_o manifest_v it_o be_v that_o which_o he_o teach_v his_o doctrine_n heb._n 6._o 1._o also_o you_o may_v see_v the_o first_o reason_n for_o the_o proof_n of_o this_o now_o that_o it_o be_v confirm_v to_o we_o read_v

miracle_n be_v no_o foundation-principle_n they_o be_v not_o any_o part_n of_o the_o word_n of_o the_o beginning_n of_o christ_n but_o those_o thing_n by_o which_o the_o word_n of_o god_n be_v and_o

the_o word_n speak_v by_o angel_n be_v steadfast_a and_o every_o transgression_n and_o disobedience_n deserve_v a_o just_a recompense_n of_o reward_n how_o shall_v we_o escape_v if_o we_o neglect_v

already_o make_v to_o appear_v that_o it_o be_v the_o end_n no_o more_o of_o this_o ordinance_n then_o of_o the_o preach_n of_o the_o word_n and_o prayer_n it_o may_v be_v a_o effect_n of_o they_o

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 answ._n your_o first_o proposition_n i_o do_v grant_v consider_v what_o i_o have_v speak_v wherein_o you_o have_v miss_v the_o

take_v notice_n thereof_o in_o the_o 38_o page_n of_o his_o book_n of_o the_o 6_o principle_n now_o to_o your_o second_o proposition_n say_v you_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 in_o your_o second_o chapter_n to_o which_o i_o answer_v that_o it_o be_v not_o for_o heal_v the_o sick_a i_o have_v already_o grant_v but_o that_o it_o be_v for_o the_o give_n of_o the_o holy_a spirit_n i_o have_v as_o you_o may_v plain_o see_v in_o my_o exposition_n of_o your_o second_o chapt._n plain_o discover_v and_o therefore_o your_o conclusion_n prove_v false_a that_o it_o must_v be_v for_o appoint_v of_o officer_n 2._o your_o second_o argument_n that_o lay_v on_o of_o hand_n upon_o officer_n must_v be_v here_o mean_v because_o lay_v on_o of_o hand_n heb._n 6._o 1._o be_v call_v a_o doctrine_n 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_v on_o of_o hand_n be_v never_o once_o teach_v answ._n i_o have_v full_o answer_v this_o argument_n as_o may_v be_v plain_o see_v in_o my_o answer_n to_o your_o second_o reason_n in_o your_o second_o chapter_n to_o which_o i_o shall_v for_o the_o confutation_n of_o this_o argument_n refer_v you_o but_o only_o thus_o much_o i_o will_v further_o mind_v you_o that_o this_o lay_n on_o of_o hand_n upon_o believer_n as_o such_o be_v the_o doctrine_n of_o christ_n heb._n 6._o 1._o the_o word_n or_o oracle_n of_o god_n heb._n 1._o 12._o vers._n and_o that_o for_o this_o reason_n because_o god_n do_v bear_v witness_n to_o it_o by_o his_o spirit_n act_n 8._o 17._o and_o 19_o 6._o which_o if_o compare_v with_o heb._n 2._o 4._o be_v plain_o discover_v that_o what_o god_n do_v bear_v witness_n to_o by_o the_o gift_n of_o his_o spirit_n be_v confirm_v to_o be_v the_o word_n of_o christ_n which_o must_v not_o be_v neglect_v as_o in_o the_o 2._o 3._o vers._n further_o to_o answer_v a_o query_n of_o your_o own_o make_n you_o seek_v to_o resolve_v at_o the_o heel_n of_o your_o argument_n i_o shall_v propound_v this_o query_n query_n whether_o person_n ignorance_n of_o lay_v on_o of_o hand_n be_v a_o sufficient_a ground_n to_o deny_v any_o one_o the_o administration_n of_o baptism_n to_o which_o i_o answer_v no_o and_o that_o for_o this_o reason_n because_o we_o do_v suppose_v young_a professor_n to_o be_v ignorant_a and_o therefore_o if_o any_o one_o do_v propose_v himself_o for_o obedience_n unto_o christ_n and_o that_o in_o baptism_n he_o be_v to_o be_v baptise_v and_o

be_v not_o to_o be_v communicate_v with_o but_o to_o be_v sharp_o reprove_v and_o therefore_o whereas_o you_o say_v it_o be_v sore_o against_o our_o will_n if_o we_o may_v not_o sudden_o lay_v hand_n on_o those_o we_o do_v baptise_v if_o by_o the_o word_n sudden_o you_o do_v mind_n a_o time_n for_o person_n to_o be_v instruct_v that_o you_o do_v allow_v of_o instruction_n to_o come_v between_o

on_o of_o hand_n upon_o believer_n sure_o if_o such_o a_o command_n as_o here_o you_o bring_v will_v have_v serve_v you_o your_o mouth_n have_v be_v long_o before_o this_o stop_v for_o be_v there_o

of_o iniquity_n that_o have_v long_o reign_v and_o do_v to_o this_o day_n 3._o i_o answer_v if_o the_o promise_n of_o god_n which_o be_v the_o end_n of_o this_o ordinance_n to_o wit_v lay_v on_o of_o

to_o which_o i_o answer_v 1._o that_o there_o be_v many_o thing_n that_o do_v concern_v the_o whole_a church_n of_o christ_n which_o be_v no_o principle_n of_o the_o foundation_n as_o for_o instance_n

one_o of_o the_o principle_n heb._n 6._o 2._o vers._n which_o if_o your_o argument_n be_v good_a it_o shall_v do_v i_o do_v grant_v that_o lay_v on_o of_o hand_n upon_o officer_n do_v concern_v the_o
