Pious and Learned Mr. Faldo before his Death, wrote me word, That one of the Brethren against Imposition of Hands was with him, and debated the Question with him; and this especially he stuck at, He would not allow the Elders of one particular Church to perform Office-Acts, to those that were not of that Church. Mr. Faldo tells me, He gave him a formal Argument, to prove that it might be, and in many cases it must be admitted. This he desired to write down, and did so, and I believe it will be seen by others in this Town of his Opinion: And if they will take occasion to ventilate that Difference Brotherly, it will not be declined by some of your and my mind. Thus Mr. Faldo.

Thus Mr. Faldo.
What that Argument was Mr. Faldo did not write: I wrote to that Brother, desiring him to let me know it, but I cannot obtain it; he searched for it, but could not find it.
