the_o spirit_n be_v not_o fall_v upon_o any_o of_o they_o viz._n in_o a_o visible_a manner_n which_o be_v a_o phrase_n attribute_v to_o those_o extraordinary_a measure_n frequent_o give_v in_o those_o

that_o on_o whosoever_o they_o pray_v and_o lay_v their_o hand_n the_o spirit_n be_v visible_o extraordinary_o and_o immediate_o give_v and_o it_o be_v say_v they_o lay_v their_o hand_n upon_o they_o but_o how_o many_o it_o be_v not_o say_v sure_o not_o upon_o all_o for_o simon_n by_o his_o profane_a offer_n discover_v he_o have_v neither_o lot_n nor_o part_n therein_o though_o baptize_v etc._n etc._n answ_n the_o first_o thing_n he_o hint_n at_o as_o a_o objection_n against_o our_o practice_n from_o this_o place_n be_v because_o philip_n lay_v not_o his_o hand_n upon_o they_o after_o he_o have_v baptize_v they_o which_o we_o have_v answer_v already_o but_o this_o i_o must_v say_v now_o that_o if_o peter_n and_o john_n lay_v their_o hand_n on_o those_o believer_n in_o samaria_n as_o man_n miraculous_o gift_v or_o by_o virtue_n of_o their_o extraordinary_a attainment_n it_o may_v seem_v strange_a that_o philip_n lay_v not_o his_o hand_n upon_o they_o be_v though_o but_o a_o deacon_n endow_v with_o those_o extraordinary_a gift_n and_o have_v wrought_v wonderful_a sign_n and_o miracle_n in_o the_o same_o city_n before_o the_o reason_n therefore_o why_o philip_n do_v not_o impose_v hand_n upon_o they_o be_v 1._o because_o not_o ministerial_o capacitate_v so_o to_o do_v it_o not_o belong_v to_o he_o on_o the_o account_n of_o his_o office_n nor_o his_o extraordinary_a gift_n and_o endowment_n this_o also_o i_o may_v further_o show_v because_o the_o church_n at_o jerusalem_n do_v not_o send_v to_o samaria_n man_n simple_o endow_v with_o miraculous_a gift_n but_o such_o as_o have_v ministerial_a power_n and_o authority_n as_o the_o servant_n of_o christ_n in_o his_o name_n to_o complete_a and_o perfect_a what_o be_v want_v among_o they_o it_o be_v a_o act_n say_v dr._n hammond_n on_o act_n 8.17_o reserve_v to_o the_o ruler_n of_o the_o church_n and_o not_o communicate_v or_o allow_v to_o inferior_a officer_n such_o as_o philip_n the_o deacon_n here_o 2._o but_o whereas_o mr._n danvers_n seem_v to_o affirm_v that_o as_o some_o in_o the_o primitive_a time_n have_v the_o gift_n of_o healing_n so_o other_o have_v the_o gift_n or_o power_n to_o give_v the_o holy_a spirit_n it_o be_v utter_o deny_v and_o the_o contrary_n have_v often_o be_v prove_v for_o that_o it_o be_v only_o the_o gift_n of_o god_n and_o christ_n bless_a prerogative_n they_o be_v find_v in_o their_o duty_n they_o pray_v and_o lay_v on_o their_o hand_n and_o leave_v the_o issue_n to_o god_n to_o give_v the_o spirit_n according_a to_o his_o promise_n and_o good_a pleasure_n object_n but_o probable_o some_o may_v object_v we_o read_v of_o none_o but_o the_o apostle_n that_o lay_v hand_n on_o baptize_v believer_n and_o though_o they_o act_v not_o by_o virtue_n of_o their_o miraculous_a endowment_n nor_o have_v power_n to_o give_v the_o holy_a spirit_n yet_o they_o may_v act_v herein_o by_o virtue_n of_o their_o extraordinary_a call_n unto_o that_o office_n answ_n i_o affirm_v that_o they_o act_v in_o all_o other_o ordinance_n yea_o and_o do_v whatsoever_o they_o do_v in_o the_o worship_n and_o service_n of_o christ_n by_o virtue_n of_o the_o say_v extraordinary_a call_n unto_o the_o ministry_n as_o well_o as_o in_o this_o but_o do_v it_o therefore_o follow_v that_o nothing_o the_o apostle_n practise_v be_v a_o precedent_n or_o rule_n unto_o we_o as_o some_o ignorant_o have_v affirm_v unless_o so_o call_v of_o god_n and_o endow_v as_o they_o be_v 3._o have_v not_o mathias_n the_o same_o power_n to_o administer_v ordinance_n who_o be_v mediate_o call_v to_o his_o office_n by_o the_o church_n as_o the_o other_o apostle_n immediate_o call_v by_o christ_n jesus_n and_o be_v not_o the_o end_n and_o work_n of_o the_o office_n however_o call_v to_o it_o one_o and_o the_o same_o viz._n the_o work_n of_o the_o ministry_n the_o perfect_a the_o saint_n and_o edify_v the_o body_n of_o christ_n eph._n 4._o 4._o we_o read_v hardly_o of_o any_o that_o preach_v the_o word_n authoritative_o or_o officiate_v in_o any_o gospel-administration_n by_o virtue_n of_o their_o office_n beside_o the_o extraordinary_a apostle_n and_o therefore_o if_o what_o they_o do_v be_v not_o a_o law_n or_o rule_n to_o we_o and_o to_o all_o ordinary_a minister_n to_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n we_o shall_v be_v at_o a_o loss_n in_o many_o other_o respect_n it_o must_v therefore_o be_v grant_v that_o what_o they_o teach_v and_o practise_v as_o a_o ordinance_n of_o christ_n and_o foundation-principle_n of_o his_o doctrine_n they_o deliver_v it_o unto_o faithful_a man_n that_o be_v their_o successor_n that_o they_o may_v be_v able_a to_o teach_v other_o also_o 2_o tim._n 2.3_o and_o this_o agree_v with_o phil._n 4.9_o those_o thing_n that_o you_o

to_o faith_n and_o the_o resurrection_n in_o the_o second_o place_n he_o will_v have_v we_o believe_v the_o end_n of_o that_o administration_n be_v for_o the_o extraordinary_a or_o visible_a gift_n of_o the_o holy_a spirit_n which_o we_o have_v clear_o refute_v yet_o i_o shall_v say_v further_o that_o by_o his_o argue_v the_o apostle_n resolve_v that_o all_o the_o church_n at_o samaria_n yea_o
