2dly. Let it be observed, that the extraordinary Gifts which were given sometimes, by Imposition of Hands; were given first to the Jewish Christian-Church, and then to the Gentiles, without Imposition of Hands, Acts 2.2, 3. with Acts 10.44, 45, 46. This is very material. Do you then show us two Texts where the Apostles separated Men to the Ministry without imposition of Hands; as extraordinary Gifts were given first, both to Jews and Gentiles, without Imposition of Hands; and to Cornelius and his good Company before Baptism. Acts 10.47.
