which_o as_o be_v before_o observe_v it_o either_o prescribe_v particular_a rule_n for_o or_o remit_v man_n for_o they_o to_o the_o general_a precept_n of_o christianity_n so_o far_o as_o they_o be_v

a_o necessity_n of_o apply_v that_o part_n of_o the_o institution_n to_o they_o by_o the_o execution_n of_o those_o command_n which_o it_o enjoin_v because_o the_o set_v they_o apart_o for_o that_o

now_o set_v myself_o to_o inquire_v and_o here_o in_o the_o first_o place_n it_o be_v easy_a to_o see_v by_o what_o be_v deliver_v in_o the_o general_a concern_v the_o power_n of_o remit_v sin_n or_o in_o particular_a concern_v the_o power_n of_o baptism_n that_o the_o separation_n or_o consecration_n of_o the_o element_n be_v the_o proper_a work_n of_o the_o minister_n of_o the_o gospel_n and_o ought_v according_o to_o be_v leave_v to_o they_o to_o perform_v because_o as_o both_o the_o one_o and_o the_o other_o be_v by_o christ_n commit_v to_o his_o apostle_n so_o none_o can_v therefore_o pretend_v to_o the_o power_n of_o either_o but_o those_o who_o derive_v it_o from_o they_o which_o none_o but_o the_o minister_n of_o the_o gospel_n have_v it_o be_v no_o less_o easy_a to_o see_v second_o that_o as_o the_o separation_n or_o consecration_n of_o the_o element_n be_v the_o proper_a work_n of_o the_o minister_n of_o the_o gospel_n even_o by_o the_o institution_n of_o christ_n so_o it_o can_v therefore_o ordinary_o at_o least_o be_v attempt_v without_o sin_n by_o other_o because_o a_o deviation_n from_o his_o institution_n and_o thus_o far_o all_o who_o acknowledge_v a_o ministerial_a function_n be_v at_o a_o accord_n in_o this_o particular_a and_o the_o far_a prosecution_n thereof_o no_o way_n necessary_a to_o be_v intend_v i_o say_v therefore_o three_o that_o as_o the_o separation_n or_o consecration_n of_o the_o element_n can_v ordinary_o at_o least_o be_v attempt_v without_o sin_n by_o other_o than_o the_o minister_n of_o the_o gospel_n so_o there_o be_v reason_n enough_o to_o believe_v even_o from_o thence_o that_o those_o element_n can_v ordinary_o have_v the_o relation_n of_o a_o sacrament_n by_o any_o other_o consecration_n than_o they_o for_o beside_o that_o the_o promise_n of_o christ_n be_v not_o to_o be_v suppose_v to_o extend_v any_o far_a than_o those_o command_n to_o which_o it_o be_v annex_v be_v observe_v neither_o can_v we_o think_v he_o will_v vouchsafe_v his_o benediction_n to_o that_o action_n which_o without_o any_o necessity_n at_o all_o vary_v from_o his_o own_o institution_n this_o be_v to_o encourage_v man_n to_o go_v against_o his_o own_o institution_n which_o no_o wise_a institutor_n can_v be_v suppose_v to_o give_v way_n to_o all_o therefore_o that_o can_v be_v suppose_v to_o admit_v of_o a_o dispute_n in_o this_o affair_n be_v whether_o in_o extraordinary_a case_n and_o where_o a_o lawful_a minister_n can_v be_v have_v other_o person_n may_v take_v upon_o they_o to_o consecrate_v and_o administer_v it_o and_o whither_o if_o they_o do_v so_o what_o they_o do_v be_v so_o far_o valid_a as_o to_o make_v that_o which_o they_o pretend_v to_o consecrate_v and_o administer_v to_o have_v the_o relation_n of_o
