conceive_v enough_o say_v on_o your_o part_n against_o it_o so_o i_o conceive_v i_o have_v say_v sufficient_o for_o it_o in_o my_o reply_n to_o those_o two_o part_n of_o it_o confession_n and_o

shall_v begin_v with_o the_o sacrament_n of_o confirmation_n every_o sacrament_n be_v a_o sensible_a sign_n have_v a_o infallible_a assistance_n of_o the_o grace_n of_o the_o holy_a spirit_n and_o such_o i_o prove_v confirmation_n to_o be_v by_o most_o express_a scripture_n thus_o we_o find_v in_o the_o act_n that_o when_o the_o apostle_n which_o be_v at_o jerusalem_n hear_v that_o samaria_n have_v receive_v the_o word_n of_o god_n 17._o act._n 8.14.15_o 16_o 17._o they_o send_v unto_o they_o peter_n and_o john_n who_o when_o they_o be_v come_v down_o pray_v for_o they_o that_o they_o

which_o the_o grace_n of_o the_o holy_a spirit_n be_v confer_v and_o that_o be_v enough_o to_o make_v a_o sacrament_n again_o we_o find_v in_o another_o chapter_n of_o the_o same_o act_n 6._o act._n 19.2.3_o 4_o 5_o 6._o that_o paul_n be_v at_o ephesus_n and_o find_v some_o disciple_n there_o say_v unto_o they_o have_v you_o receive_v the_o holy_a ghost_n since_o ●e_v believe_v and_o they_o say_v unto_o he_o we_o have_v not_o so_o much_o as_o hear_v whether_o there_o be_v any_o holy_a ghost_n and_o be_v say_v unto_o they_o unto_o what_o then_o be_v you_o baptize_v and_o they_o say_v unto_o he_o john_n baptism_n than_o say_v paul_n john_n very_o baptize_v with_o the_o boptism_n of_o repentance_n say_v unto_o the_o people_n that_o they_o shall_v believe_v on_o he_o which_o shall_v come_v after_o he_o that_o be_v on_o christ_n jesus_n when_o they_o hear_v this_o they_o believe_v on_o christ_n jesus_n and_o when_o paul_n bid_v lay_v his_o hand_n upon_o they_o the_o holy_a ghost_n come_v on_o they_o and_o they_o speak_v with_o tongue_n and_o prophesy_v here_o be_v i_o say_v again_o after_o belief_n and_o baptism_n a_o imposition_n of_o hand_n by_o which_o the_o grace_n of_o the_o holy_a spirit_n be_v fer_v now_o that_o this_o sacrament_n waa_o institute_v by_o christ_n himself_o be_v plain_a by_o the_o gospel_n 16._o john_n 16._o where_o he_o promise_v his_o apostle_n the_o comforter_n his_o holy_a spirit_n with_o which_o they_o shall_v be_v confirm_v by_o virtue_n from_o above_o now_o the_o mission_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n in_o the_o time_n of_o penticost_n either_o be_v the_o sacrament_n of_o confirmation_n itself_o or_o instead_o of_o it_o 10._o mark_n 11.13_o 14._o matth._n 10._o again_o we_o find_v in_o the_o gospel_n that_o they_o bring_v young_a child_n to_o christ_n that_o be_v shall_v touch_v they_o and_o his_o disciple_n rebuke_v they_o that_o bring_v they_o but_o when_o jesus_n see_v it_o be_v be_v displease_v and_o say_v suffer_v the_o little_a child_n to_o come_v to_o i_o for_o of_o such_o be_v the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n etc._n etc._n now_o it_o be_v very_o probable_a that_o he_o do_v either_o institute_v this_o sacrament_n then_o or_o at_o least_o infinuate_v it_o so_o enough_o i_o coceive_v say_v to_o that_o now_o that_o the_o sacramnot_v of_o order_n be_v institute_v likewise_o by_o christ_n himself_o and_o with_o a_o sensible_a sign_n conferr_v grace_n i_o prove_v this_o by_o express_a scripture_n first_o we_o find_v that_o when_o jesus_n have_v call_v unto_o he_o his_o twelve_o disciple_n 10.1_o mat._n 10.1_o he_o give_v they_o power_n against_o unclean_a spirets_n and_o to_o heal_v all_o manner_n of_o sickness_n and_o all_o manner_n of_o disease_n then_o again_o jesus_n go_v up_o into_o the_o mountain_n and_o call_v unto_o he_o wh●m_o he_o will_v and_o they_o come_v unto_o he_o and_o he_o make_v that_o twelve_o shall_v be_v with_o he_o 6.7_o mark_n 6.7_o and_o he_o send_v they_o to_o preach_v etc._n etc._n and_o after_o these_o thing_n the_o lord_n appoint_v other_o seventy_o also_o and_o send_v they_o tweand_a two_o before_o his_o face_n into_o every_o city_n and_o place_n whither_o he_o himself_o will_v come_v then_o again_o we_o find_v 10.1_o luk_n 10.1_o that_o take_v bread_n he_o break_v it_o give_v thanks_o and_o say_n this_o be_v my_o body_n etc._n etc._n do_v this_o in_o remembrance_n of_o i_o then_o last_o of_o all_o look_n into_o st._n john_n gospel_n and_o you_o will_v find_v yet_o a_o more_o express_a ordination_n and_o mission_n as_o my_o father_n h●th_v since_o i_o so_o send_v i_o you_o 28._o l●k_n 28._o and_o when_o he_o have_v say_v this_o he_o breathe_v on_o they_o and_o say_v unto_o they_o receive_v you_o the_o holy_a ghost_n 23_o john_n 10._o ●_o 21_o 22_o 23_o whosoever_o

they_o they_o send_v they_o away_o here_o again_o be_v plain_a ordination_n and_o mission_n st._n paul_n give_v direction_n to_o young_a timothy_n how_o to_o behaave_v himself_o in_o his_o ministry_n

yet_o to_o admonish_v we_o further_o of_o our_o duty_n to_o they_o he_o make_v it_o his_o humble_a request_n to_o the_o thessalonian_o thus_o 1._o phil._n 1._o we_o beseech_v you_o brethren_n to_o

the_o invisible_a grace_n of_o the_o holy_a spirit_n as_o you_o have_v see_v at_o large_a prove_v by_o scripture_n that_o matrimony_n be_v a_o sacrament_n and_o institute_v by_o christ_n i_o likewise_o prove_v by_o express_a scripture_n thus_o first_o it_o be_v very_o probable_a that_o the_o blessing_n which_o god_n almighty_a give_v to_o adam_n and_o eve_n in_o paradise_n be_v not_o

unto_o moses_n in_o the_o cloud_n and_o in_o the_o sea_n now_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o the_o infant_n be_v as_o well_o in_o the_o cloud_n and_o in_o the_o sea_n as_o their_o father_n be_v and_o

may_v be_v though_o you_o and_o some_o other_o heretic_n deny_v it_o and_o from_o thence_o infer_v a_o renovation_n of_o baptism_n again_o to_o the_o roman_n for_o if_o through_o the_o offence_n of_o one_o many_o be_v dead_a 19_o rom._n 5.15_o 16_o 17_o 18_o 19_o much_o more_o by_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n and_o the_o gift_n by_o grace_n which_o be_v by_o on_o man_n jesus_n christ_n have_v

one_o man_n disobedience_n many_o be_v make_v sinner_n so_o by_o the_o obedience_n of_o one_o shall_v many_o be_v make_v righteous_a from_o hence_o we_o infer_v that_o as_o both_o man_n and_o childeren_n be_v capable_a of_o death_n by_o adam_n fall_n so_o both_o man_n and_o child_n be_v capable_a of_o a_o regeneration_n by_o christ_n 6._o 1_o cor._n 15.20_o rom._n 6._o this_o the_o

another_o place_n then_o we_o find_v that_o the_o apostle_n do_v usual_o baptise_v whole_a family_n and_o household_n 16.14_o ag_n 16.14_o as_o in_o the_o act_v lydia_n be_v baptize_v and_o her_o

know_v that_o all_o sacrament_n be_v mystery_n and_o so_o the_o greek_n as_o i_o be_o inform_v do_v general_o call_v all_o the_o seven_o then_o that_o it_o be_v a_o great_a sacrament_n in_o christ_n and_o his_o church_n as_o the_o apostle_n tell_v we_o do_v it_o therefore_o follow_v that_o it_o be_v ever_o the_o less_o a_o sacrament_n on_o the_o contrary_a the_o apostle_n here_o explain_v how_o it_o be_v a_o sacrament_n that_o be_v how_o it_o come_v to_o be_v the_o sign_n of_o a_o holy_a thing_n and_o that_o not_o of_o grace_n only_o as_o all_o the_o other_o be_v but_o of_o something_o
