of_o it_o be_v no_o less_o diverse_a than_o needful_a as_o well_o in_o sacred_a and_o religious_a as_o natural_a and_o civil_a action_n 3_o but_o the_o most_o general_a and_o notable_a use_n of_o the_o hand_n in_o sacred_a action_n be_v the_o imposition_n of_o they_o either_o for_o the_o blessing_n and_o consecrate_v of_o they_o on_o who_o they_o be_v lay_v to_o god_n or_o for_o the_o

the_o institution_n have_v show_v before_o that_o this_o superstition_n chief_o consist_v in_o make_v it_o a_o sacrament_n and_o withdraw_a from_o the_o virtue_n and_o dignity_n of_o baptism_n to_o
