6ly. Their sixth Reason is, because an Ordinance necessary to Church-Communion ought very plainly to be expressed, p. 6.
Answ. So is this of Imposition of Hands, Heb. 5.12. Heb. 6. 1, 2. Acts 8. and Acts 19.6.
7ly. Because, they say, our Lord did leave no Ordinance as absolutely necessary to Church-Communion, but such as holds forth his Death and Resurrection, p. 9. as Baptism and the Lord's Supper, &c.
