A93698	A confutation of the assertions of Mr. Samuel Oates, (in relation to his not practising the laying on of hands on all baptized believers) which are as followeth, viz. 1. That laying on of hands is not Gods ordinance, as it is practised on the aforesaid subjects, viz. on all baptized believers. 2. Neither as to the manner of performing the same, viz. 1. In that there is no injunction for more persons then one to lay on hands at once. 2. In that it is not restrained to the head. 3. In that there is no word of God to enjoyn the kneeling of the subject in the act of laying on of hands. 4. Neither to use words of expression when hands are on the subject. 3. Neither as to the end, as it is practised upon all baptized believers; for that the laying on of hands was, 1. To heal the sick. 2. For ordination of officers. 3. For giving miraculous gifts of the spirit, and not otherwise. 4. That no person ought to have the laying on of hands, that doth not believe that thereby he shall be healed of some disease, or receive some miraculous gift of the spirit. By John Spittlehouse, who doth contraryvvise affirm as followeth, ...	Spittlehouse, John.	1654 (1654)	Wing S5006; Thomason E725_15; Thomason E699_12; ESTC R206771	5,516	8

of_o thing_n in_o heaven_n viz._n in_o the_o church_n as_o thing_n in_o earth_n viz._n in_o the_o world_n therefore_o say_v we_o it_o be_v as_o well_o the_o duty_n of_o such_o subject_n to_o kneel_v to_o the_o church_n as_o they_o represent_v the_o body_n of_o jesus_n christ_n as_o it_o be_v the_o duty_n of_o natural_a child_n to_o kneel_v to_o receive_v the_o blessing_n of_o their_o natural_a
