2. Remember that the Confirmation in question is little kin to that which I and Mr. Hanmer have written for: A very Learned Bishop told me lately, that it is for the giving of the Holy Ghost by Imposition of hands: And (whatever you feign) it is confined to the Order of Bishops. Do you know what Dallaeus de Confirmat. hath said against it? And that all are against it as with us that are against Diocesan Prelacy? I know few Non-Conformists in England, that are for it, or desire it. When I pleaded for it in 1660. hoping to have reduced the English Confirmation to that which I described in my Treatise of Confirmation, had you but heard how much the truly Learned, judicious, honest Dr. Wallis said against it, who is a public Professor in Oxford, a Conformist, and the King's Chaplain, you would not think that you shall never meet with any that will not desire it, &c.
