therefore_o pass_v we_o both_o from_o the_o one_o and_o the_o other_o to_o that_o heavenly_a thing_n to_o which_o it_o relate_v the_o manner_n of_o its_o relation_n to_o it_o and_o the_o foundation_n of_o that_o relation_n now_o as_o the_o first_o of_o these_o have_v be_v before_o define_v to_o be_v a_o inward_a and_o spiritual_a grace_n as_o that_o again_o declare_v to_o be_v such_o a_o grace_n

that_o it_o be_v moreover_o such_o a_o grace_n as_o conduce_v immediate_o to_o the_o welfare_n of_o it_o whether_o as_o purify_n the_o soul_n from_o the_o filth_n of_o sin_n and_o introduce_v the_o

observe_v from_o what_o have_v be_v before_o say_v concern_v it_o that_o it_o be_v a_o instrument_n of_o grace_n as_o well_o as_o a_o pledge_n of_o it_o that_o it_o be_v a_o moral_a instrument_n thereof_o and_o not_o a_o physical_a one_o that_o it_o be_v such_o a_o moral_a instrument_n thereof_o as_o be_v rather_o apt_a to_o convey_v or_o produce_v it_o than_o that_o which_o actual_o and_o infallible_o do_v the_o actual_a convey_n of_o that_o grace_n depend_v upon_o the_o due_a disposition_n of_o the_o party_n receive_v it_o and_o who_o as_o st._n paul_n speak_v if_o he_o be_v not_o right_o qualify_v for_o it_o will_v rather_o reap_v damnation_n by_o it_o than_o either_o the_o divine_a grace_n or_o the_o reward_n of_o they_o which_o thing_n i_o have_v this_o second_o time_n make_v mention_n of_o not_o because_o they_o be_v not_o before_o sufficient_o clear_v but_o because_o they_o lie_v dispersedly_z in_o my_o former_a account_n of_o this_o relation_n and_o so_o will_v have_v be_v less_o useful_a towards_o the_o form_n a_o distinct_a conception_n of_o it_o that_o which_o will_v especial_o require_v our_o second_o thought_n be_v the_o foundation_n of_o that_o and_o other_o the_o relation_n of_o a_o sacrament_n the_o which_o as_o i_o have_v affirm_v in_o the_o general_a to_o be_v the_o institution_n of_o christ_n so_o the_o far_a consideration_n of_o that_o institution_n will_v both_o lead_v we_o to_o a_o more_o distinct_a knowledge_n of_o the_o nature_n of_o a_o sacrament_n and_o inform_v we_o concern_v the_o necessity_n and_o efficacy_n thereof_o now_o as_o there_o be_v two_o thing_n which_o that_o institution_n do_v manifest_o import_v that_o be_v to_o say_v a_o command_n and_o a_o promise_n so_o that_o command_v again_o respect_v the_o element_n of_o a_o sacrament_n either_o as_o be_v to_o put_v on_o that_o relation_n or_o as_o actual_o invest_v with_o it_o in_o the_o former_a of_o these_o regard_v it_o command_v the_o set_v they_o apart_o for_o that_o purpose_n but_o more_o especial_o because_o that_o be_v the_o principal_a design_n of_o a_o sacrament_n for_o their_o become_v a_o mean_n of_o convey_v the_o divine_a grace_n to_o we_o 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 applicable_a thereto_o and_o i_o shall_v only_o add_v because_o those_o rule_n be_v before_o declare_v that_o to_o make_v the_o element_n put_v on_o the_o relation_n of_o a_o sacrament_n there_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 purpose_n be_v by_o the_o institution_n itself_o put_v into_o the_o hand_n of_o man_n but_o of_o what_o man_n and_o how_o qualify_v i_o have_v not_o as_o yet_o declare_v and_o shall_v therefore_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 a_o sacrament_n but_o as_o it_o will_v be_v consider_v whether_o it_o be_v not_o equal_o advisable_v for_o such_o person_n to_o let_v alone_o altogether_o the_o consecration_n and_o administration_n thereof_o because_o christ_n may_v as_o well_o supply_v to_o man_n the_o want_n of_o the_o sacrament_n themselves_o as_o the_o defect_n of_o those_o who_o
