reprove_v sect_n ii_o the_o rite_n of_o confirmation_n be_v a_o perpetual_a and_o never_o cease_v ministry_n yea_o but_o what_o be_v this_o to_o we_o it_o belong_v to_o the_o day_n of_o wonder_n and_o extraordinary_a the_o holy_a ghost_n breathe_v upon_o the_o apostle_n and_o apostolical_a man_n but_o then_o he_o breathe_v his_o last_o recedente_fw-la gratiâ_fw-la recessit_fw-la disciplina_fw-la when_o the_o grace_n depart_v we_o have_v no_o further_o use_v of_o the_o ceremony_n in_o answer_n to_o this_o i_o shall_v 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d by_o divers_a particular_n evince_v plain_o that_o this_o ministry_n of_o confirmation_n be_v not_o temporary_a and_o relative_a only_o to_o the_o act_n of_o the_o apostle_n but_o be_v to_o descend_v to_o the_o church_n for_o ever_o this_o indeed_o be_v do_v already_o in_o the_o precede_a sect._n in_o which_o it_o be_v clear_o manifest_v that_o christ_n himself_o make_v the_o baptism_n of_o the_o spirit_n 5._o to_o be_v necessary_a to_o the_o church_n he_o declare_v the_o fruit_n of_o this_o baptism_n and_o do_v particular_o relate_v it_o to_o the_o descent_n of_o the_o holy_a spirit_n upon_o the_o church_n at_o and_o after_o that_o glorious_a pentecost_n he_o sanctify_v it_o and_o commend_v it_o by_o his_o example_n just_a as_o in_o order_n to_o baptism_n he_o sanctify_v the_o flood_n jordan_n and_o all_o other_o water_n to_o the_o mystical_a wash_n away_o of_o sin_n viz._n by_o his_o great_a example_n and_o fulfil_v this_o righteousness_n also_o this_o doctrine_n the_o apostle_n first_o find_v in_o their_o own_o person_n and_o experience_n and_o practise_v to_o all_o their_o convert_v after_o baptism_n by_o a_o solemn_a and_o external_a rite_n and_o all_o this_o pass_v into_o a_o evangelical_n doctrine_n the_o whole_a mystery_n be_v signify_v by_o the_o external_a rite_n in_o the_o word_n of_o the_o apostle_n as_o before_o it_o be_v by_o christ_n express_v only_o the_o internal_a so_o that_o there_o need_v no_o more_o strength_n to_o this_o argument_n but_o that_o there_o may_v be_v want_v no_o moment_n to_o this_o truth_n which_o the_o holy_a scripture_n afford_v i_o shall_v add_v more_o weight_n to_o it_o and_o 1._o the_o perpetuity_n of_o this_o holy_a rite_n appear_v because_o this_o great_a gift_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n be_v promise_v to_o abide_v with_o the_o church_n for_o ever_o and_o when_o the_o jew_n hear_v the_o apostle_n speak_v with_o tongue_n at_o the_o first_o and_o miraculous_a descent_n of_o the_o spirit_n in_o pentecost_n to_o take_v off_o the_o strangeness_n of_o the_o

gift_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d not_o the_o mean_a person_n among_o you_o all_o but_o shall_v receive_v this_o great_a thing_n 39_o which_o you_o observe_v we_o to_o have_v receive_v and_o not_o only_o you_o but_o your_o child_n too_o not_o your_o child_n of_o this_o generation_n only_o sed_fw-la nati_n natorum_fw-la &_o qui_fw-la nascentur_fw-la ab_fw-la illis_fw-la but_o your_o child_n for_o ever_o for_o the_o promise_n be_v to_o you_o and_o to_o your_o child_n and_o to_o all_o that_o be_v afar_o off_o even_o to_o as_o many_o as_o the_o lord_n our_o god_n shall_v call_v now_o then_o let_v it_o be_v consider_v 1._o this_o gift_n be_v by_o promise_n by_o a_o promise_n not_o make_v to_o the_o apostle_n alone_o but_o to_o all_o to_o all_o for_o ever_o 2._o consider_v here_o at_o the_o very_a first_o as_o there_o be_v a_o verbum_fw-la a_o word_n of_o promise_n so_o there_o be_v sacramentum_fw-la too_o i_o use_v the_o word_n as_o i_o have_v already_o premonish_v in_o a_o large_a sense_n only_o and_o according_a to_o the_o stile_n of_o the_o primitive_a church_n it_o be_v a_o rite_n partly_o moral_a partly_o ceremonial_a the_o first_o be_v prayer_n and_o the_o other_o be_v lay_v on_o of_o the_o hand_n and_o to_o a_o effect_n that_o be_v but_o transient_a and_o extraordinary_a and_o of_o a_o little_a abode_n it_o be_v not_o easy_a to_o be_v suppose_v that_o such_o a_o solemnity_n shall_v be_v appoint_v i_o say_v such_o a_o solemnity_n that_o be_v it_o be_v not_o imaginable_a that_o a_o solemn_a rite_n annex_v to_o a_o perpetual_a promise_n shall_v be_v transient_a and_o temporary_a for_o by_o the_o nature_n of_o relative_n they_o must_v be_v of_o equal_a abode_n the_o promise_n be_v of_o a_o thing_n for_o ever_o the_o ceremony_n or_o rite_n be_v annex_v to_o the_o promise_n and_o therefore_o this_o also_o must_v be_v for_o ever_o 3._o this_o be_v attest_v by_o st._n paul_n who_o reduce_v this_o argument_n to_o this_o mystery_n say_v in_o who_o after_o that_o you_o believe_v signati_fw-la estis_fw-la spiritu_fw-la sancto_fw-la promissionis_fw-la you_o be_v seal_v by_o that_o holy_a spirit_n of_o promise_n he_o speak_v it_o to_o the_o ephesian_n 13._o who_o well_o understand_v his_o meaning_n by_o remember_v what_o be_v do_v to_o themselves_o by_o the_o apostle_n 6._o but_o a_o while_n before_o who_o after_o they_o have_v baptise_a they_o do_v lay_v their_o hand_n upon_o they_o and_o so_o they_o be_v seal_v and_o so_o they_o receive_v the_o holy_a spirit_n of_o promise_n for_o here_o the_o very_a matter_n of_o fact_n be_v the_o clear_a commentary_n on_o st._n paul_n word_n the_o spirit_n which_o be_v promise_v to_o all_o christian_n they_o then_o receive_v when_o they_o be_v consign_v or_o have_v the_o ritual_a seal_n of_o confirmation_n by_o imposition_n of_o hand_n one_o thing_n i_o shall_v remark_n here_o and_o that_o be_v that_o this_o and_o some_o other_o word_n of_o scripture_n relate_v to_o the_o sacrament_n or_o other_o ritual_n of_o religion_n do_v principal_o mean_v the_o internal_a grace_n and_o our_o consignation_n be_v by_o a_o secret_a power_n and_o the_o work_n be_v within_o but_o it_o do_v not_o therefore_o follow_v that_o the_o external_n rite_n be_v not_o also_o intend_v for_o the_o rite_n be_v so_o whole_o for_o the_o mystery_n and_o the_o outward_a for_o the_o inward_a and_o yet_o by_o the_o outward_a god_n so_o usual_o and_o regular_o give_v the_o inward_a that_o as_o no_o man_n be_v to_o rely_v upon_o the_o external_n ministry_n as_o if_o the_o opus_fw-la operatum_fw-la will_v do_v the_o whole_a duty_n so_o no_o man_n be_v to_o neglect_v the_o external_n because_o the_o internal_a be_v the_o more_o principal_a the_o mistake_n in_o this_o particular_a have_v cause_v great_a contempt_n of_o the_o sacrament_n and_o ritual_n of_o the_o church_n and_o be_v the_o ground_n of_o the_o socinian_n error_n in_o these_o question_n but_o 4._o what_o hinder_v any_o man_n from_o a_o quick_a consent_n at_o the_o first_o representation_n of_o these_o plain_a reason_n and_o authority_n be_v it_o because_o there_o be_v extraordinary_a effect_n accompany_v this_o ministration_n and_o because_o now_o there_o be_v not_o that_o we_o will_v suppose_v the_o whole_a oeconomy_n must_v cease_v if_o this_o be_v it_o and_o indeed_o this_o be_v all_o that_o can_v be_v suppose_v in_o opposition_n to_o it_o it_o be_v infinite_o vain_a 1._o because_o these_o extraordinary_a effect_n do_v continue_v even_o after_o the_o death_n of_o all_o the_o apostle_n st._n irenaeus_n say_v they_o do_v continue_v even_o to_o his_o time_n even_o the_o great_a instance_n of_o miraculous_a power_n 57_o &_o in_o fraternitate_fw-la saepissimè_fw-la

thing_n even_o of_o reduce_v the_o spirit_n to_o a_o dead_a man_n 2._o in_o the_o day_n of_o the_o apostle_n the_o holy_a spirit_n do_v produce_v miraculous_a effect_n but_o neither_o always_o nor_o at_o all_o in_o all_o man_n be_v all_o worker_n of_o miracle_n do_v all_o speak_v with_o tongue_n 29._o do_v all_o interpret_v can_v all_o heal_v no_o the_o spirit_n blow_v where_o he_o list_v and_o
