The prayer after Imposition of hands.
We make our humble supplications unto thee for these Children; upon whom, after the example of thy holy Apostles, we have laid our hands, to certify them by this sign of thy favour and gracious goodness towards them.

We desire that the practice of the Apostles may not be alleged as a ground of this Imposition of hands for the confirmation of children, both because the Apostles did never use it in that case, as also because the Articles of the Church of England declare it to be a corrupt imitation of the Apostles practice, Act. 25.
