CHAP. I.
MR. Danvers in his Introduction tells us, pag. 3. after having given us an Account both from Scripture, and Antiquity, of the business of Baptism, in its Institution, Subject, Manner, and End, &c. that it may neither be unnecessary nor unprofitable to give us an account of Laying on of hands, not only because it immediately follows that of Baptism, Heb. 6.1, 2. but more especially because for Confirmation (as it has been called) it had been next after Baptism so solemnly asserted, practised and enjoined, both in former and later times, as an Ordinance of Christ, and essentially necessary to Church-Communion: But what this Laying on of hands is, and how that of ⟨p. 3⟩Confirmation is founded on the Word of God, he tells us, he shall consider, examine, and recommend it to the judgment of all discerning, and impartial Christians.
