distinction_n of_o 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d and_o 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d will_v utter_o subvert_v the_o other_o interpretation_n yet_o there_o be_v three_o several_a answer_n each_o of_o which_o will_v take_v off_o the_o pretence_n of_o timothy_n re-ordination_a 1._o it_o be_v well_o know_v that_o several_a learned_a divine_n do_v take_v that_o act_n in_o 1_o tim._n 4.14_o and_o that_o in_o 2_o tim._n 1.6_o to_o be_v one_o and_o the_o same_o ordination_n some_o say_v with_o the_o lay_n on_o the_o hand_n of_o the_o presbytery_n may_v be_v mean_v paul_n hand_n so_o bishop_n bilson_n mr._n mason_n calvin_n gelaspy_n 252._o de_fw-fr gubern_n ecc●●_n 252._o and_o other_o other_o think_v that_o paul_n hand_n be_v not_o the_o hand_n of_o the_o presbyteric_a yet_o that_o both_o paul_n hand_n and_o the_o presbyter_n be_v lay_v on_o together_o 101._o de_fw-fr min._n ang●_n p_o 44_o 45._o in_o 1_o tim._n 4._o misc_n qu._n p._n 101._o and_o so_o both_o concur_v in_o one_o ordination_n so_o than_o if_o either_o of_o these_o be_v true_a as_o i_o confess_v i_o dare_v make_v a_o point_n of_o faith_n of_o neither_o than_o there_o be_v no_o ordination_n to_o be_v find_v here_o 2._o it_o be_v more_o probable_a that_o if_o these_o text_n must_v be_v understand_v of_o two_o ordination_n that_o they_o be_v to_o two_o office_n the_o first_o to_o a_o inferior_a the_o second_o to_o a_o superior_a office_n and_o perchance_o first_o to_o the_o office_n of_o a_o presbyter_n and_o afterward_o to_o the_o office_n of_o a_o evangelist_n gelaspy_n seem_v to_o lean_v this_o way_n 103._o misc_n qu._n p._n 90_o 103._o it_o be_v observable_a indeed_o that_o in_o the_o first_o epistle_n paul_n never_o give_v timothy_n any_o high_a title_n than_o bishop_n or_o presbyter_n which_o now_o at_o last_o be_v acknowledge_v to_o be_v use_v by_o the_o holy_a ghost_n promiscuous_o but_o in_o the_o second_o epistle_n wherein_o paul_n mention_n the_o lay_v on_o of_o his_o own_o hand_n he_o style_v he_o a_o evangelist_n 2_o tim._n 4.5_o and_o either_o here_o must_v be_v a_o twofold_a ordination_n or_o else_o timothy_n be_v ordain_v per_fw-la saltum_fw-la or_o else_o his_o second_o ordination_n be_v not_o record_v 3._o some_o think_v and_o i_o think_v it_o be_v most_o probable_a that_o 2_o tim._n 2.1.6_o be_v not_o to_o be_v understand_v of_o ordination_n at_o all_o but_o of_o some_o special_a gift_n confer_v by_o the_o lay_n on_o of_o paul_n hand_n 1._o as_o mr._n baxter_n say_v it_o may_v be_v imposition_n of_o hand_n in_o confirination_n or_o for_o the_o first_o give_v of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n after_o baptism_n ordinary_o use_v by_o the_o apostle_n that_o be_v there_o speak_v of_o which_o also_o seem_v probable_a by_o the_o apostle_n annex_v it_o to_o timothy_n faith_n in_o which_o he_o succeed_v his_o mother_n and_o grandmother_n and_o the_o follow_a effect_n of_o the_o spirit_n of_o power_n and_o love_n and_o of_o a_o sound_a mind_n which_o be_v the_o fruit_n of_o confirm_a grace_n admonish_v he_o that_o he_o be_v not_o ashamed_a of_o the_o testimony_n of_o our_o lord_n which_o be_v also_o the_o fruit_n of_o confirmation_n 2._o that_o very_a expression_n stir_v up_o the_o gift_n do_v seem_v to_o imply_v that_o gift_n to_o be_v gratia_fw-la gratum_fw-la faciens_fw-la for_o it_o seem_v too_o improper_a to_o say_v stir_v up_o thy_o office_n 3._o the_o apostle_n do_v somewhat_o critical_o use_v a_o divers_a particle_n in_o these_o two_o text_n in_o the_o former_a 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d in_o the_o latter_a 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d now_o the_o question_n be_v why_o shall_v paul_n use_v different_a word_n if_o these_o be_v not_o different_a act_n i_o be_o not_o ignorant_a that_o some_o say_v 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d be_v use_v to_o set_v forth_o paul_n act_n in_o ordination_n because_o he_o be_v the_o ordainer_n and_o only_o 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d to_o set_v forth_o the_o presbyter_n act_n because_o they_o be_v only_a assistant_n in_o ordination_n but_o 1._o this_o crotchet_n though_o ingenious_a yet_o it_o seem_v to_o be_v new_a 2._o altogether_o without_o proof_n 3._o and_o it_o seem_v to_o contradict_v most_o of_o our_o protestant_a divine_n even_o episcopal_a as_o well_o as_o other_o that_o acknowledge_v a_o power_n of_o ordination_n in_o presbyter_n and_o that_o their_o ordination_n without_o a_o diocesan_n be_v valid_a which_o they_o will_v not_o do_v have_v the_o presbytery_n no_o power_n of_o ordination_n at_o all_o 4._o it_o suppose_v ordination_n in_o this_o text_n which_o supposition_n be_v contrary_a to_o the_o two_o first_o probability_n that_o this_o gift_n be_v gratia_fw-la gratum_fw-la faciens_fw-la and_o not_o gratia_fw-la gratis_o data_fw-la 5._o in_o act_n 13._o there_o be_v the_o same_o word_n use_v to_o signify_v the_o act_n of_o the_o doctor_n as_o be_v use_v to_o signify_v the_o act_n of_o the_o prophet_n 6._o this_o will_v overthrow_v their_o new_a interpretation_n of_o 1_o tim._n 4.14_o which_o be_v to_o put_v presbyterium_fw-la for_o the_o office_n with_o a_o parenthesis_n in_o the_o text_n to_o help_v the_o same_o and_o so_o make_v 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d to_o signify_v paul_n act_n 7._o it_o will_v overthrow_v that_o testimony_n of_o the_o ancient_n so_o much_o magnify_v for_o understanding_n by_o a_o college_n of_o presbyter_n a_o college_n of_o d●ocesans_n for_o then_o 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d must_v signify_v their_o act_n 8._o if_o this_o 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d signify_v the_o presbyter_n consent_v only_o then_o why_o shall_v the_o presbyter_n lay_v on_o hand_n any_o more_o than_o the_o people_n for_o the_o people_n be_v ancient_o to_o consent_v and_o to_o assist_v by_o their_o concurrence_n in_o prayer_n 9_o if_o presbyter_n be_v ordainer_n with_o the_o bishop_n as_o some_o confess_v then_o be_v it_o not_o against_o the_o nature_n of_o ordination_n for_o have_v not_o all_o ordainer_n the_o same_o causality_n 10._o but_o further_o to_o speak_v the_o truth_n whether_o it_o make_v for_o i_o or_o against_o i_o these_o word_n 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d &_o 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d

that_o the_o whole_a church_n till_o of_o late_a for_o aught_o i_o yet_o see_v have_v so_o understand_v the_o same_o in_o these_o text_n but_o to_o leave_v it_o now_o to_o the_o impartial_a reader_n to_o judge_v whether_o if_o 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d &_o 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d difference_n any_o thing_n it_o be_v not_o more_o probable_a that_o they_o difference_n the_o interpretation_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n from_o a_o ordination_n than_o a_o ordination_n from_o a_o ordination_n but_o let_v it_o go_v how_o it_o will_v with_o 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d &_o 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d yet_o sure_o i_o be_o that_o it_o be_v more_o probable_a either_o that_o paul_n ordain_v ●ot_n timothy_n at_o all_o or_o that_o he_o join_v with_o the_o presbyter_n in_o their_o ordination_n or_o that_o the_o presbyter_n ordain_v timothy_n to_o one_o office_n and_o paul_n afterward_o to_o another_o a_o high_a then_o that_o paul_n ordain_v he_o to_o the_o same_o

a_o question_n whether_o reordination_n be_v more_o credit_v by_o these_o two_o authority_n or_o more_o discredit_v in_o that_o they_o be_v but_o two_o and_o two_o not_o of_o the_o ancient_n neither_o and_o though_o it_o be_v to_o be_v acknowledge_v that_o these_o two_o be_v learned_a and_o reverend_a lutheran_n divine_v yet_o no_o doubt_n there_o may_v be_v two_o score_n easy_o rally_v against_o

will_v get_v but_o little_a but_o if_o they_o will_v needs_o urge_v i_o with_o their_o bare_a authority_n i_o must_v needs_o return_v to_o such_o a_o ipse_fw-la dixit_fw-la as_o we_o be_v wont_a to_o
