      tell how to make any thing necessary to constitute a minister that involves- * necessity of succession from the Apostles * days . The laying on of hands can never be proved from Scripture to be an essential requisite to ordination that I can find , nor

      that an office is thereby ordinarily conveyd . But it has been a sign in use in all ages , agreeable to , and derivd from the nature of things , when a superior ha * prayed for a blessing on an inferior , or when any thing has been devoted to sacred use * : I could use it therefore on all

      such occasions with great freedom , or omit it according as might be most agreeable to the church where I minister , and if I were to be removed by Providence twenty times I could

      submit so often to the imposition of hands . I hear you were at Mr . Scott ' s public ordination , I hope all things will succeed well there , and that God will give him prudence to conduct his affairs with success to the gospell , honor to God , and

      good to souls . I shall be glad to hear of your Ministry being blest sensibly for conversion : I hope your health . Mine is as usu - al , my head capable of very little study , and I ' m like to be deprivd of

      assistcdnce , Mr . Hollis being not willing to keep any servant for me in the house , having been in some instances a little incommoded by my servant . I owe you a Book of riymns , if you can tell me how to convey it . Let me year from you ere long . I am Your ' s , I . WATTS .

      H * o Mr . Samuel Say , Minister at Lcive

      itofty near Yarmouth , Suffolk . Letter III . Dear Sir , Linden * Nov . I , I 7 ° 9-Twas at Tunhridge-Wells I received your Letter , with the * account of Mr .

      Ward ' s ordination at Woodbridge . J ust now I read a large narrative by letter of Mr . Scott ' s ordination to his Church . Your remarks on two or three heads give me occasion for the same . You speak of yourself , and the rest of your order as wanting" a name . I think you are ministers of Christ , and ordinary evangelists . A person whose gifts have

      been approved by a Church of Christ , and its Elders , who devotes himself solemnly andpublickly to the work of the gospell , who is thereupon sent forth to preach , by the Elders and Brethren of a Church , with a word of exhortation and prayer , is in my opinion , a Minister of the gospell , and has not only authority to

      with one another , &x . seems to require a more particular union and relation to a single church : But if any are otherwise minded , I shall not be angry with ' em . Note , if there are no Elders in a church which sends forth a minister , it is ( at least ) prudentially necessary to have the approbation and assistance of neighboring Elders if such can be had .
