Our English Translators, 2. Cor. 1. 19. have followed the metaphorical signification, and in this place Act. 14. 23. the synecdochical. But what had they ado either with a Metaphor or a Synecdoche, when the Text may bear the proper sense? Now, that Luke in this place useth the word in the proper sense, and not in the synecdochical, iGerard proveth from the words which he subjoineth, to signify the ordaining of those Elders by the laying on of hands: for he saith that they prayed and fasted and commended them to the Lord, in which words he implieth the laying on of hands upon them, as may be learned from. Act. 6. 6. When they had prayed they laid their hands on them. Act. 13. 3. When they had fasted and prayed and laid their hands on them. So Act. 8. 15. 17. Prayer and laying on of hands went together. Wherefore by [Greek or Hebrew] Luke pointeth at the election of those Elders by voices, being in the following words to make mention of their ordination by imposition of hands.
