require_v this_o at_o your_o hand_n let_v experience_n testify_v how_o much_o more_o of_o the_o holy_a spirit_n they_o have_v receive_v than_o other_o of_o their_o brethren_n who_o be_v never_o under_o this_o practice_n it_o have_v not_o be_v our_o observation_n alone_o and_o with_o grief_n of_o heart_n we_o speak_v it_o and_o can_v wish_v it_o be_v otherwise_o that_o instead_o of_o the_o holy_a spirit_n a_o strange_a spirit_n another_o spirit_n have_v general_o follow_v this_o practice_n so_o just_a it_o be_v with_o god_n to_o give_v over_o person_n to_o their_o own_o spirit_n when_o they_o introduce_v a_o tradition_n of_o their_o own_o for_o a_o commandment_n of_o god_n and_o pretend_v the_o spirit_n for_o it_o and_o who_o be_v so_o ignorant_a that_o know_v not_o what_o a_o

this_o matter_n yea_o and_o have_v proceed_v so_o far_o as_o to_o excommunicate_v some_o for_o no_o other_o cause_n but_o this_o and_o as_o i_o be_v write_v this_o one_o tell_v i_o before_o good_a

mean_n to_o obtain_v they_o this_o be_v but_o little_a different_a from_o the_o first_o end_n but_o to_o this_o we_o answer_v 1._o that_o there_o be_v never_o any_o lay_n on_o of_o hand_n practise_v in_o all_o the_o new_a testament_n under_o the_o wait_n or_o in_o the_o expectation_n of_o the_o extraordinary_a gift_n of_o the_o holy_a spirit_n as_o a_o mean_n to_o obtain_v they_o but_o as_o be_v say_v before_o be_v never_o practise_v by_o any_o till_o they_o have_v first_o receive_v power_n from_o on_o high_a and_o these_o gift_n immediate_o follow_v thereupon_o 2._o when_o the_o gift_n or_o power_n be_v restore_v then_o let_v the_o practice_n of_o the_o ceremony_n be_v restore_v also_o for_o as_o when_o the_o power_n cease_v the_o rite_n by_o right_n cease_v also_o so_o the_o ceremony_n ought_v not_o to_o be_v practise_v till_o the_o power_n be_v again_o receive_v for_o what_o be_v this_o else_o but_o to_o set_v a_o seal_n to_o a_o blank_a and_o whether_o this_o power_n shall_v be_v restore_v again_o or_o no_o be_v not_o our_o inquiry_n at_o this_o time_n but_o when_o the_o gift_n than_o the_o rite_n otherwise_o we_o shall_v restore_v a_o empty_a form_n without_o its_o power_n again_o as_o they_o can_v agree_v among_o themselves_o about_o the_o end_n so_o neither_o about_o other_o circumstance_n herein_o some_o of_o they_o will_v have_v the_o administrator_n to_o be_v

can_v agree_v well_o enough_o in_o this_o as_o pilate_n and_o herod_n to_o crucify_v christ_n so_o they_o to_o deal_v hardly_o with_o if_o not_o to_o excommunicate_v their_o brethren_n we_o willing_o
