By way of answer to a book, untruly and improperly intitled, A vindication of that righteous principle of the doctrine of Christ called laying on of hands upon baptized believers. / By Thomas Morris, a servant of Jesus Christ. Also Robert Everards Three questions propounded to Benjamin Morley about his practice of laying on of hands, with his answer, and R. E. reply.	Morris, Thomas, Baptist.; Everard, Robert, fl. 1664.

the_o house_n after_o it_o be_v build_v for_o i_o have_v hear_v you_o grant_v in_o your_o exercise_n at_o markfield_n that_o faith_n and_o baptism_n do_v render_v a_o church_n right_o constitute_v and_o if_o so_o then_o that_o you_o call_v a_o part_n of_o the_o foundation_n be_v lay_v upon_o the_o house_n after_o it_o be_v build_v and_o not_o only_o so_o but_o you_o lay_v it_o upon_o every_o single_a stone_n belong_v to_o this_o house_n if_o they_o will_v suffer_v it_o but_o wise_a bvilder_n do_v not_o use_v to_o do_v so_o therefore_o in_o this_o also_o you_o render_v yourselves_o confuse_a bvilder_n but_o when_o you_o see_v that_o the_o action_n of_o the_o creature_n will_v prove_v too_o sandy_a a_o foundation_n for_o the_o church_n of_o christ_n to_o be_v build_v upon_o than_o you_o say_v you_o mean_v christ_n in_o his_o doctrine_n or_o to_o speak_v plain_o that_o this_o doctrine_n itself_o be_v the_o foundation_n of_o the_o church_n as_o in_o page_n the_o 29._o of_o your_o book_n line_n 16_o 17._o but_o for_o answer_v to_o this_o though_o it_o be_v true_a the_o doctrine_n of_o christ_n be_v useful_a and_o very_a excellent_a in_o their_o place_n and_o for_o those_o end_n and_o use_v god_n have_v appoint_v they_o yet_o they_o can_v be_v the_o foundation_n of_o the_o church_n for_o these_o reason_n first_o because_o of_o the_o unsuitability_n of_o the_o matter_n for_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o matter_n of_o the_o church_n do_v consist_v of_o lively_a stone_n believing-man_n and_o woman_n pet._n 2._o and_o what_o must_v the_o rest_n of_o the_o matter_n viz._n the_o foundation_n be_v make_v of_o word_n that_o can_v be_v because_o it_o be_v inconsistent_a with_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o matter_n of_o the_o house_n a_o second_o reason_n why_o doctrine_n can_v be_v the_o foundation_n of_o the_o church_n be_v because_o of_o the_o shortness_n of_o their_o duration_n in_o comparison_n of_o the_o duration_n of_o the_o church_n as_o will_v appear_v thus_o for_o when_o man_n have_v do_v sin_v that_o doctrine_n which_o teach_v repentance_n shall_v cease_v and_o when_o we_o enjoy_v that_o by_o sense_n which_o we_o have_v now_o but_o by_o faith_n the_o doctrine_n which_o teach_v we_o to_o believe_v shall_v cease_v and_o when_o we_o have_v whole_o mortify_v the_o old_a man_n and_o be_v perfect_o rise_v to_o newness_n of_o life_n that_o doctrine_n which_o teach_v baptism_n shall_v cease_v and_o when_o the_o tyrant_n or_o oppressor_n be_v take_v off_o that_o doctrine_n which_o teach_v suffering_n from_o the_o hand_n of_o wicked_a man_n shall_v cease_v and_o when_o the_o resurrection_n and_o eternal_a judgement_n be_v past_a these_o doctrine_n which_o teach_v as_o in_o relation_n to_o they_o shall_v cease_v now_o if_o these_o doctrine_n shall_v be_v the_o foundation_n of_o the_o church_n when_o the_o church_n come_v in_o its_o most_o triumphant_a state_n viz._n after_o the_o resurrection_n it_o will_v have_v lose_v its_o foundation_n ergo_fw-la not_o for_o that_o use_n three_o doctrine_n can_v be_v the_o foundation_n of_o the_o church_n because_o god_n have_v appoint_v they_o for_o another_o use_n viz._n to_o fit_v the_o matter_n for_o the_o build_n second_o for_o to_o inform_v the_o builder_n how_o to_o lay_v the_o fit_v matter_n into_o the_o build_n and_o three_o how_o to_o order_v it_o well_o when_o it_o be_v build_v and_o therefore_o it_o be_v compare_v to_o a_o hammer_n and_o to_o a_o axe_n and_o to_o a_o line_n so_o that_o it_o can_v be_v the_o foundation_n but_o rather_o the_o instrument_n wherewithal_o the_o builder_n fit_v his_o matter_n for_o the_o building_n as_o christ_n tell_v his_o disciple_n john_n the_o 15.3_o say_v he_o you_o be_v clean_a through_o the_o word_n which_o i_o have_v speak_v to_o you_o where_o you_o see_v the_o word_n fit_v the_o matter_n for_o the_o house_n by_o cleanse_v of_o it_o and_o in_o the_o 2_o tim._n 3.17_o it_o be_v say_v that_o the_o scripture_n serve_v to_o perfect_v the_o man_n of_o god_n and_o thorough_o to_o furnish_v he_o to_o every_o good_a work_n and_o so_o present_v the_o matter_n viz._n the_o lively_a stone_n fit_a for_o their_o master_n use_n now_o the_o doctrine_n be_v the_o chief_a instrument_n which_o fit_v the_o matter_n for_o the_o house_n no_o wise_a builder_n will_v lay_v his_o tool_n under_o the_o house_n for_o the_o foundation_n of_o it_o so_o that_o you_o may_v see_v from_o these_o three_o reason_n that_o though_o doctrine_n be_v excellent_a in_o their_o place_n and_o for_o that_o end_n and_o use_n god_n have_v appoint_v they_o yet_o they_o can_v be_v the_o foundation_n of_o the_o church_n but_o if_o we_o look_v into_o 1_o cor._n 2.11_o paul_n tell_v we_o what_o be_v the_o foundation_n in_o these_o word_n other_o foundation_n can_v no_o man_n lay_v than_o that_o which_o be_v jesus_n christ_n now_o i_o desire_v you_o and_o the_o impartial_a reader_n to_o consider_v whether_o it_o be_v his_o person_n or_o his_o doctrine_n which_o all_o along_o in_o scripture_n be_v call_v jesus_n christ_n for_o that_o which_o be_v proper_o call_v jesus_n christ_n be_v the_o foundation_n of_o the_o church_n now_o if_o we_o take_v he_o for_o the_o foundation_n which_o be_v indeed_o the_o foundation_n and_o none_o other_o can_v be_v lay_v than_o the_o church_n shall_v never_o want_v a_o foundation_n as_o in_o john_n the_o 8.35_o christ_n say_v of_o himself_o the_o son_n abide_v in_o the_o house_n for_o ever_o and_o therefore_o it_o stall_v never_o be_v unprovided_a question_n but_o some_o may_v say_v upon_o what_o account_n be_v christ_n the_o foundation_n of_o the_o church_n as_o in_o his_o person_n answer_n christ_n be_v the_o foundation_n of_o the_o church_n in_o person_n upon_o this_o account_n in_o that_o he_o be_v the_o first_o bear_v of_o many_o brethren_n rom._n 8.29_o first_o in_o the_o father_n love_n the_o first_o fruit_n of_o they_o that_o sleep_v and_o first_o upon_o every_o account_n and_o so_o the_o first_o lively_a stone_n in_o this_o spiritual_a building_n which_o must_v needs_o be_v the_o beginning_n of_o this_o building_n and_o the_o beginning_n of_o this_o build_n be_v the_o foundation_n of_o this_o build_n and_o so_o you_o see_v christ_n be_v the_o foundation_n or_o beginning_n of_o the_o church_n and_o none_o other_o can_v be_v lay_v and_o he_o have_v three_o place_n in_o this_o spiritual_a house_n be_v also_o say_v to_o be_v the_o chief_a cornerstone_n ephes_n 2.20_o and_o three_o he_o be_v also_o the_o head_n of_o this_o house_n ephes_n 1.22_o and_o so_o the_o wisdom_n and_o goodness_n of_o god_n do_v most_o glorious_o appear_v in_o make_v choice_n of_o such_o a_o holy_a perfect_a durable_a and_o lovely_a lively_a stone_n to_o be_v the_o foundation_n cornerstone_n and_o head_n of_o this_o house_n therefore_o take_v heed_n of_o put_v christ_n out_o of_o any_o of_o his_o place_n and_o set_v other_o thing_n in_o his_o stead_n for_o it_o be_v not_o a_o sleight_n matter_n to_o put_v any_o of_o the_o thing_n of_o god_n out_o of_o their_o proper_a place_n now_o we_o have_v see_v that_o these_o particular_n heb._n 6.1_o 2._o can_v be_v the_o foundation_n of_o the_o church_n neither_o in_o respect_n of_o action_n nor_o doctrine_n let_v we_o examine_v what_o those_o foundation_n or_o principle_n be_v heb._n 6.1_o 2._o the_o author_n exhort_v the_o hebrew_n to_o leave_v the_o principle_n or_o foundation_n which_o term_n foundation_n explain_v what_o be_v mean_v by_o the_o term_n principle_n viz._n the_o beginning_n for_o foundation_n be_v a_o beginning_n leave_v the_o beginning_n may_v some_o say_v of_o what_o why_o say_v the_o author_n according_a to_o mr._n tindals_n translation_n which_o you_o confess_v in_o your_o book_n page_n the_o 74._o be_v a_o plain_a translation_n and_o i_o also_o in_o that_o place_n heb._n 1_o 2._o judge_v it_o to_o be_v the_o true_a translation_n that_o ever_o i_o see_v for_o faith_n the_o author_n leave_v the_o beginning_n of_o repentance_n of_o faith_n of_o baptism_n of_o doctrine_n of_o lay_v on_o of_o hand_n of_o resurrection_n and_o eternal_a judgement_n so_o that_o it_o be_v clear_a that_o the_o author_n do_v not_o apply_v the_o term_n foundation_n or_o beginning_n to_o the_o whole_a work_n of_o repentance_n nor_o the_o whole_a work_n of_o faith_n nor_o to_o the_o whole_a work_n of_o any_o of_o the_o other_o five_o but_o only_o the_o first_o step_n or_o degree_n of_o repentance_n be_v here_o call_v foundation_n or_o beginning_n and_o so_o the_o first_o step_n be_v degree_n of_o all_o the_o rest_n but_o if_o the_o term_n foundation_n or_o beginning_n shall_v here_o have_v be_v apply_v to_o the_o whole_a work_n of_o repentance_n and_o so_o of_o all_o the_o rest_n we_o must_v leave_v out_o the_o term_n of_o and_o read_v it_o thus_o therefore_o leave_v the_o foundation_n

thus_o prove_v 5_o argument_n that_o which_o be_v once_o in_o force_n the_o scripture_n make_v no_o mention_n of_o its_o repeal_n that_o be_v not_o repeal_v but_o the_o practice_n be_v once_o in_o force_n and_o the_o scripture_n make_v no_o mention_n of_o its_o repeal_n ergo_fw-la tho._n answer_v according_a to_o the_o sense_n of_o your_o three_o argument_n i_o grant_v you_o it_o be_v a_o truth_n in_o be_v viz._n that_o those_o which_o be_v not_o unbaptise_v when_o hand_n be_v lay_v on_o they_o but_o baptize_v have_v it_o as_o baptize_v once_o and_o not_o as_o unbaptise_v once_o though_o the_o end_n may_v be_v instrumental_a to_o be_v possess_v of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n as_o act_v the_o 8._o or_o to_o be_v instate_v into_o office_n as_o act_v the_o 6._o the_o part_n of_o your_o position_n be_v in_o heb._n 6.1_o 2._o from_o whence_o you_o infer_v that_o those_o baptize_v believer_n of_o the_o hebr._n have_v once_o subject_v to_o lay_v on_o of_o hand_n which_o you_o say_v appear_v from_o the_o term_n leave_v and_o not_o lay_v again_o the_o apostle_n you_o say_v do_v allude_v to_o the_o builder_n of_o a_o house_n who_o have_v lay_v his_o foundation_n be_v to_o build_v high_a till_o he_o have_v perfect_v his_o work_n and_o that_o the_o apostle_n will_v have_v the_o believer_n who_o have_v begin_v to_o do_v his_o duty_n to_o god_n to_o go_v on_o to_o perfect_v it_o you_o tell_v we_o further_o that_o in_o heb._n 6.12_o a_o lay_v on_o of_o hand_n be_v speak_v of_o and_o give_v we_o three_o reason_n why_o it_o be_v not_o in_o the_o case_n of_o

though_o you_o show_v no_o ground_n against_o that_o of_o persecution_n than_o it_o must_v needs_o be_v upon_o that_o other_o viz._n as_o baptize_v believer_n and_o how_o that_o this_o scripture_n

your_o discourse_n from_o be_v wound_v tho._n answer_v that_o these_o hebrew_n be_v baptize_v believer_n and_o that_o they_o have_v subject_v to_o lay_v on_o of_o hand_n according_a to_o the_o sense_n of_o your_o three_o argument_n though_o not_o according_a to_o the_o manner_n of_o your_o practice_n and_o that_o the_o apostle_n do_v allude_v to_o the_o builder_n of_o a_o house_n and_o that_o the_o

the_o lay_v on_o of_o hand_n speak_v of_o heb._n 6.1_o 2._o be_v not_o mean_v of_o church_n officer_n nor_o of_o the_o sick_a i_o grant_v but_o that_o it_o be_v not_o meat_n to_o suffer_v persecution_n i_o do_v not_o grant_v but_o i_o shall_v say_v more_o to_o that_o when_o i_o come_v to_o answer_v to_o the_o thing_n we_o differ_v about_o in_o your_o last_o chapter_n and_o then_o i_o shall_v see_v whether_o your_o strong_a piece_n of_o armour_n will_v keep_v the_o body_n of_o your_o discourse_n from_o be_v wound_v or_o not_o ben._n the_o next_o thing_n you_o allege_v for_o the_o

6.1_o 2._o and_o as_o for_o the_o church_n of_o the_o roman_n you_o conclude_v they_o be_v under_o lay_v on_o of_o hand_n because_o in_o roman_n 6._o the_o apostle_n tell_v they_o how_o they_o have_v
