But again, I am persuaded our Brethren are sensible of what has been said in respect of those Gifts Timothy received through Layings on of Hands, which have been showed by several to be different, (one only relating to his Office, or Ministerial Power committed to him; the other to such Gifts as are proper to all the Saints) tho they take no notice of it.
