And the Apostle makes it only a change of the Priesthood, (Hebr. 7. 12.) not a nulling of it, upon which change of a ministration, none presumed of themselves to officiate without an Ordination; John Baptist who was the preparative voice of the Gospel was ordained to it, and his ⟨p. 193⟩disciples were set apart by him; our Saviour did the like in ordaining first Twelve for preaching and baptizing, and then 72 after them, when one of the twelve was lost, no other stepped into his place without a solemn choice of him; Paul and Barnabas, Acts 14. 23. wheresoever they came and converted any nation, were careful of ordaining Successors. Saint Paul, as his last, gives that charge to Timothy and Titus after him, and in all Ages of the Church from the Primitive times, both in the Greek and Latin Church, it hath been observed to this day successively.
