A47585	Laying on of hands upon baptized believers, as such, proved an ordinance of Christ in answer to Mr. Danvers's former book intituled, A treatise of laying on of hands : with a brief answer to a late book called, A treatise concerning laying on of hands, written by a nameless author / by B.K. ...

this_o ordinance_n as_o well_o as_o those_o twelve_o the_o way_n of_o god_n touch_v the_o administration_n of_o gospel-institution_n be_v one_o and_o the_o same_o in_o all_o the_o church_n of_o the_o

now_o i_o be_o willing_a to_o add_v two_o or_o three_o argument_n for_o the_o further_o evince_v of_o these_o particular_n arg._n 1._o because_o the_o lord_n be_v please_v to_o bear_v witness_n to_o

and_o very_o dangerous_a it_o be_v for_o any_o to_o take_v away_o a_o foundation-stone_n it_o be_v very_o absurd_a say_v mr._n blackwood_n on_o matth._n p._n 688._o to_o think_v that_o one_o of_o
