For in the primitive Church, the1 Apostles and their successors did anoint the sick with Oil, and by that means they were restored to health. And it was a certain peculiar gift of God, and done as it were miraculously: for even as in the primitive church, was the peculiar gift of healing, so also was there the gift of tongues. For the Apostles laid their hands on the sick, and they received health, & spake with divers tongues. But as the gift of tongues is leafed in the Church, so also is that of healing by the anointing with Oil: and therefore the ceremony of imposition of hands, and anointing with Oil, ceaseth. All men know that in the primitive Church there were divers things necessarily required, as the gift of healing, and of tongs, with other miracles, which were signs for the unbelievers, and were done to confirm the religion: but now, when by the preaching of the Gospel, faith, ⟨p. 140⟩and the religion is published and confirmed, the others have ceased, and are quite out of use.

And it was a certaine peculiare gifte of God, and done as it were miraculously: for euen as in the primatiue church, was the peculiare gifte of healing, so also was there the gifte of tonges. For the Apostles laide their handes on the sicke, and they receiued health, & spake with diuers tonges. But as the gifte of tonges is •eaffed in the Churche, so also is that of healing by the annoynting with Oyle: and therefore the ceremonie of imposition of handes, and anointing with Oyle, ceaseth.
