shall_v desire_v the_o reader_n serious_o to_o consider_v whether_o ordinary_a reception_n of_o the_o spirit_n which_o be_v only_o internal_a and_o do_v not_o demonstrate_v themselves_o by_o such_o

draw_v his_o desire_n to_o buy_v the_o power_n of_o give_v the_o holy_a ghost_n through_o lay_v on_o of_o hand_n it_o will_v appear_v it_o be_v extraordinary_a and_o whereas_o you_o say_v simon_n be_v

first_o place_n though_o you_o confess_v in_o your_o book_n page_n the_o 51._o that_o in_o former_a time_n the_o holy_a ghost_n do_v attend_v the_o practice_n of_o lay_v on_o of_o hand_n and_o in_o

gift_n of_o the_o spirit_n be_v essential_a to_o it_o from_o hebr._n 6.1_o 2._o and_o therefore_o you_o must_v tell_v your_o antagonist_n that_o lay_v on_o of_o hand_n will_v stand_v as_o firm_a and_o unmoveable_a in_o these_o our_o day_n without_o any_o such_o extraordinary_a appearance_n of_o the_o spirit_n as_o former_o for_o these_o reason_n first_o because_o the_o extraordinary_a gift_n of_o the_o spirit_n be_v to_o confirm_v the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o gospel_n and_o it_o be_v confirm_v there_o need_v no_o such_o extraordinary_a gift_n to_o that_o end_n and_o so_o you_o conclude_v they_o confirm_v lay_v on_o of_o hand_n as_o well_o as_o the_o rest_n of_o christ_n doctrine_n put_v no_o difference_n between_o action_n and_o doctrine_n a_o second_o reason_n why_o you_o conclude_v that_o miracle_n and_o the_o extraordinary_a gift_n of_o the_o spirit_n be_v not_o essential_a to_o lay_v on_o of_o hand_n be_v because_o these_o extraordinary_a appearance_n of_o god_n be_v not_o essential_a to_o any_o other_o ordinance_n of_o god_n as_o you_o instance_n in_o preach_v and_o pray_v act_v 10_o and_o act_n 4._o tho._n answer_v although_o you_o grant_v the_o extraordinary_a gift_n of_o the_o spirit_n do_v attend_v lay_v on_o of_o hand_n act_n 19_o yet_o you_o deny_v they_o be_v essential_a to_o it_o because_o you_o say_v hebr._n 6.2_o no_o extraordinary_a gift_n follow_v lay_v on_o of_o hand_n but_o in_o this_o you_o have_v lay_v a_o ground_n for_o your_o own_o mistake_n by_o compare_v that_o sort_n of_o subjection_n to_o lay_v on_o of_o hand_n hebr._n 6.2_o to_o that_o sort_n in_o act_n 19_o where_o they_o subject_v in_o order_n to_o the_o receive_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n but_o in_o hebr._n 6.2_o i_o shall_v hereafter_o make_v it_o appear_v that_o they_o subject_v in_o order_n to_o the_o fill_v up_o the_o measure_n of_o the_o suffering_n of_o christ_n therefore_o you_o must_v not_o think_v to_o make_v we_o believe_v that_o the_o extraordinary_a gift_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n be_v not_o essential_a to_o that_o kind_n of_o lay_v on_o of_o hand_n act_n 8._o and_o the_o 19_o because_o it_o be_v not_o essential_a to_o that_o contrary_a kind_n of_o subjection_n to_o lay_v on_o of_o hand_n hebr._n 6.2_o neither_o because_o it_o be_v not_o essential_a to_o preach_v and_o some_o kind_n of_o prayer_n for_o indeed_o preach_v and_o some_o kind_n of_o prayer_n be_v never_o appoint_v to_o be_v instrumental_a for_o give_v the_o extraordinary_a gift_n the_o holy_a ghost_n but_o the_o proper_a effect_n of_o preach_v be_v to_o convey_v the_o ordinary_a gift_n of_o the_o spirit_n as_o enlighten_v and_o many_o other_o comfortable_a reception_n so_o that_o though_o the_o extraordinary_a gift_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n be_v not_o essential_a to_o preach_v it_o never_o be_v appoint_v as_o the_o mean_n through_o which_o this_o gift_n shall_v be_v give_v yet_o they_o may_v be_v and_o be_v essential_a to_o that_o kind_n of_o lay_v on_o of_o hand_n through_o which_o they_o be_v give_v and_o never_o fail_v as_o act_v the_o 8._o &_o act_v the_o 19_o the_o scripture_n speak_v but_o of_o those_o two_o time_n that_o this_o sort_n of_o lay_v of_o hand_n be_v use_v so_o that_o i_o wonder_v that_o you_o shall_v say_v as_o you_o do_v viz._n that_o we_o may_v no_o more_o tie_v up_o the_o reception_n of_o the_o extraordinary_a gift_n the_o holy_a ghost_n to_o lay_v on_o of_o hand_n than_o we_o may_v to_o preach_v the_o word_n because_o as_o you_o say_v the_o extraordinary_a gift_n the_o holy_a ghost_n do_v attend_v preach_v as_o well_o as_o lay_v on_o hand_n and_o this_o you_o say_v though_o you_o may_v see_v act_n the_o 8._o &_o the_o 10._o this_o gift_n the_o holy_a ghost_n be_v give_v through_o lay_v on_o of_o hand_n but_o though_o we_o find_v act_n the_o 19_o this_o gift_n be_v give_v when_o they_o be_v at_o preach_v yet_o never_o through_o preach_v and_o whereas_o you_o say_v the_o extraordinary_a gift_n the_o holy_a ghost_n do_v confirm_v lay_v on_o of_o hand_n act_v the_o 8._o as_o well_o as_o it_o do_v preach_v act_n the_o 10._o i_o answer_v it_o do_v confirm_v lay_v on_o of_o hand_n act_v the_o 8._o so_o as_o to_o bespeak_v the_o lawfulness_n of_o the_o use_n of_o that_o mean_n be_v use_v in_o order_n to_o the_o same_o end_n viz._n receive_v the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o so_o do_v miraculous_a heal_n confirm_v or_o bespeak_v the_o lawful_a use_n of_o lay_v on_o of_o hand_n to_o that_o end_n viz._n to_o heal_v but_o again_o it_o be_v true_a and_o you_o confess_v it_o in_o the_o 6._o page_n of_o your_o book_n that_o the_o nonbeing_a of_o the_o gift_n of_o heal_v in_o the_o church_n do_v bespeak_v the_o uselessness_n of_o lay_v on_o of_o hand_n to_o that_o end_n viz._n to_o heal_v and_o so_o on_o the_o other_o hand_n i_o shall_v affirm_v that_o the_o nonbeing_a of_o power_n in_o the_o church_n instrumental_o through_o lay_v on_o of_o hand_n to_o give_v the_o holy_a ghost_n do_v bespeak_v the_o uselessness_n of_o lay_v on_o of_o hand_n to_o that_o end_n and_o so_o i_o conclude_v that_o though_o god_n have_v the_o same_o power_n now_o as_o he_o have_v then_o yet_o if_o in_o his_o wisdom_n he_o see_v it_o no●_n convenient_a to_o will_v the_o give_v of_o the_o same_o gift_n now_o as_o he_o do_v then_o his_o power_n do_v not_o accomplish_v it_o for_o his_o power_n do_v act_n suitable_a to_o his_o will_n for_o if_o in_o his_o will_n he_o do_v not_o determine_v a_o thing_n then_o by_o his_o power_n he_o do_v not_o effect_v it_o and_o so_o he_o divide_v to_o every_o one_o several_o as_o he_o will_v 1_o cor._n 12.11_o and_o when_o in_o his_o wisdom_n he_o see_v it_o convenient_a to_o give_v those_o glorious_a gift_n into_o his_o church_n as_o he_o do_v former_o he_o can_v again_o begin_v the_o dispensation_n of_o they_o without_o the_o use_n of_o outward_a instrument_n as_o he_o do_v at_o the_o first_o to_o the_o apostle_n act_n 2.1_o 2_o 3_o 4._o and_o as_o to_o the_o thing_n you_o call_v effect_n of_o your_o lay_v on_o of_o hand_n viz._n as_o you_o say_v a_o most_o sweet_a and_o precrous_a communion_n and_o a_o delightful_a fellowship_n in_o the_o gospel_n second_o more_o of_o the_o manifestation_n of_o god_n spirit_n to_o their_o soul_n three_o to_o be_v further_o strengthen_v in_o god_n way_n for_o your_o first_o effect_n viz._n a_o most_o sweet_a and_o precious_a

therefore_o though_o they_o have_v a_o sweet_a communion_n yet_o it_o do_v not_o arise_v from_o lay_v on_o of_o hand_n and_o as_o for_o these_o three_o particular_n which_o you_o call_v effect_n you_o

say_v peter_n and_o john_n have_v no_o such_o power_n as_o through_o lay_v on_o of_o hand_n to_o give_v the_o holy_a ghost_n because_o peter_n declare_v to_o the_o man_n of_o israel_n act_v 4._o

and_o to_o heal_v all_o manner_n of_o sickness_n and_o all_o manner_n of_o disease_n from_o all_o which_o it_o be_v clear_a that_o the_o twelve_o apostle_n of_o which_o peter_n and_o john_n be_v two_o have_v a_o power_n give_v they_o from_o god_n to_o do_v miracle_n and_o heal_v all_o manner_n of_o disease_n and_o again_o if_o peter_n and_o john_n have_v not_o receive_v from_o god_n a_o power_n instrumental_o to_o give_v the_o holy_a ghost_n through_o lay_v on_o of_o hand_n peter_z shall_v have_v reprove_v simon_n for_o two_o fault_n first_o for_o think_v that_o they_o have_v such_o a_o

if_o perhaps_o the_o thought_n of_o thy_o heart_n may_v be_v forgive_v thou_o from_o whence_o it_o be_v clear_a that_o simon_n do_v not_o sin_n in_o think_v peter_n and_o john_n have_v a_o power_n as_o instrument_n through_o lay_v on_o of_o hand_n to_o give_v the_o holy_a ghost_n because_o peter_n do_v not_o reprove_v he_o for_o two_o mistake_n in_o the_o plural_a but_o only_o for_o one_o

apostle_n have_v a_o power_n instrumental_o through_o lay_v on_o of_o hand_n to_o give_v the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o simon_n be_v not_o mistake_v in_o what_o he_o see_v nor_o in_o what_o he_o think_v as_o touch_v their_o power_n but_o this_o one_o thing_n be_v his_o sin_n viz._n in_o think_v that_o that_o spiritual_a power_n which_o god_n then_o give_v to_o those_o his_o servant_n peter_n and_o

receive_v the_o holy_a ghost_n do_v receive_v the_o extraordinary_a gift_n of_o the_o spirit_n yet_o this_o be_v nothing_o to_o prove_v what_o they_o say_v viz._n that_o lay_v on_o of_o hand_n upon_o baptise_a believer_n be_v to_o this_o end_n that_o they_o may_v receive_v the_o extraordinary_a gift_n of_o the_o spirit_n and_o why_o here_o be_v a_o great_a mistake_n in_o lay_v down_o this_o to_o be_v one_o end_n for_o in_o this_o here_o be_v no_o difference_n put_v between_o the_o end_n of_o a_o thing_n and_o the_o effect_n of_o a_o thing_n man_n common_o propose_v their_o end_n before_o hand_n that_o be_v before_o they_o do_v their_o work_n but_o the_o effect_n follow_v the_o work_n do_v as_o for_o instance_n the_o end_n wherefore_o the_o husbandman_n plough_n and_o sow_n be_v that_o he_o may_v have_v his_o ground_n fruitful_a the_o effect_n it_o may_v so_o fall_v out_o it_o will_v be_v barren_a again_o the_o end_n wherefore_o such_o a_o one_o build_v a_o house_n be_v that_o he_o may_v dwell_v in_o it_o the_o effect_n perhaps_o may_v so_o fall_v out_o that_o it_o may_v be_v blow_v down_o of_o wind_n and_o so_o become_v useless_a again_o i_o shall_v give_v you_o another_o instance_n two_o minister_n of_o christ_n they_o go_v to_o such_o a_o place_n to_o preach_v their_o end_n be_v to_o convert_v soul_n the_o effect_n be_v they_o be_v clape_v up_o in_o prison_n and_o persecute_v as_o some_o have_v be_v and_o so_o you_o conclude_v the_o gift_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n be_v not_o the_o end_n but_o the_o effect_n of_o their_o lay_v on_o of_o hand_n tho._n answer_v you_o say_v suppose_v it_o be_v grant_v that_o these_o in_o receive_v the_o holy_a ghost_n do_v receive_v the_o extraordinary_a gist_n of_o the_o spirit_n yet_o it_o will_v not_o prove_v that_o they_o lay_v on_o hand_n to_o that_o end_n because_o as_o you_o say_v we_o great_o mistake_v in_o not_o put_v a_o difference_n between_o the_o end_n and_o the_o effect_n of_o a_o thing_n but_o i_o must_v tell_v you_o i_o think_v that_o you_o have_v not_o deal_v fair_o for_o at_o first_o you_o seem_v to_o we_o as_o if_o you_o will_v distinguish_v between_o the_o end_n and_o effect_n of_o one_o and_o the_o same_o thing_n and_o yet_o in_o your_o three_o instance_n the_o end_n &_o effect_n you_o speak_v of_o relate_v to_o several_a cause_n for_o though_o it_o be_v true_a the_o end_n wherefore_o the_o husbandman_n plough_n and_o sow_n be_v that_o he_o may_v have_v his_o ground_n fruitful_a yet_o though_o barrenness_n fall_v out_o it_o be_v no_o effect_n of_o his_o plow_a and_o sow_v for_o the_o natural_a and_o proper_a effect_n of_o plough_v and_o sow_v be_v to_o make_v the_o ground_n fruitful_a and_o barrenness_n be_v the_o effect_n of_o some_o cross_a cause_n as_o either_o blast_a or_o overmuch_a drought_n or_o some_o such_o like_a and_o second_o it_o be_v true_a the_o end_n wherefore_o a_o man_n build_v a_o house_n be_v that_o he_o may_v dwell_v in_o it_o but_o if_o the_o effect_n be_v blow_v down_o yet_o this_o effect_n arise_v not_o from_o the_o man_n building_n of_o it_o but_o from_o another_o cross_a cause_n viz._n great_a wind_n and_o three_o if_o any_o of_o christ_n minister_n go_v to_o any_o place_n to_o preach_v it_o be_v true_a their_o end_n be_v to_o convert_v soul_n but_o if_o they_o be_v clap_v up_o in_o prison_n it_o be_v no_o effect_n of_o their_o preach_n though_o you_o seem_v to_o affirm_v it_o be_v for_o preach_v bear_v no_o such_o bitter_a fruit_n as_o imprisonment_n but_o their_o imprisonment_n be_v the_o fruit_n or_o effect_v of_o a_o contrary_a cross_a cause_n viz._n the_o malicious_a proceed_n of_o wicked_a man_n the_o devil_n instrument_n so_o that_o it_o be_v clear_a you_o say_v we_o be_v mistake_v in_o not_o distinguish_v between_o the_o end_n of_o a_o thing_n and_o effect_n of_o a_o thing_n it_o be_v clear_a yourself_o be_v mistake_v because_o the_o end_n and_o effect_v you_o speak_v of_o belong_v not_o to_o one_o and_o the_o same_o thing_n but_o receive_v their_o being_n from_o direct_a contrary_a cause_n now_o that_o which_o a_o man_n desire_n or_o aim_v at_o or_o lay_v down_o as_o the_o end_n wherefore_o he_o use_v mean_n be_v the_o same_o which_o through_o the_o mean_v instrumental_o be_v effect_v or_o bring_v to_o pass_v again_o the_o husbandman_n desire_n or_o aim_v or_o end_n be_v through_o the_o use_n of_o mean_n to_o enjoy_v a_o plentiful_a harvest_n and_o if_o no_o cross_a cause_n prevent_v the_o thing_n effect_v or_o bring_v to_o pass_v be_v a_o plentiful_a harvest_n so_o that_o it_o be_v
