you_o may_v see_v what_o the_o decree_n be_v that_o they_o have_v decree_v for_o they_o or_o at_o lest_o what_o some_o of_o the_o decree_n be_v the_o which_o be_v for_o all_o those_o church_n and_o in_o chap._n 16._o paul_n and_o silas_n go_v through_o the_o city_n deliver_v they_o the_o decree_n for_o to_o keep_v that_o be_v ordain_v of_o the_o apostle_n and_o elder_n which_o be_v at_o

corinthian_n and_o put_v they_o and_o other_o church_n into_o one_o uniformity_n as_o be_v clear_a by_o the_o word_n of_o the_o text_n viz._n thus_o ordain_v i_o in_o all_o church_n and_o so_o in_o 1_o cor._n 16._o 1_o 2._o as_o i_o have_v give_v order_n to_o the_o church_n of_o galatia_n even_o so_o do_v you_o there_o be_v a_o uniformity_n in_o provide_v for_o the_o poor_a thus_o we_o may_v see_v the_o bless_a apostle_n do_v endeavour_v uniformity_n in_o all_o the_o church_n of_o god_n i_o wish_v the_o like_a practice_n be_v among_o we_o in_o these_o day_n viz._n uniformity_n in_o godly_a way_n but_o some_o may_v demand_v a_o question_n if_o the_o apostle_n do_v not_o sometime_o in_o some_o case_n give_v leave_v to_o christian_n in_o case_n of_o conscience_n for_o want_n of_o

of_o the_o church_n or_o church_n for_o those_o that_o be_v weak_a in_o knowledge_n for_o the_o present_a that_o they_o may_v not_o sin_v against_o their_o conscience_n in_o eat_v of_o herb_n by_o

provide_v that_o they_o do_v not_o do_v it_o as_o have_v respect_n to_o the_o old_a type_n or_o shadow_n that_o do_v foreshow_v the_o come_n of_o christ_n the_o substance_n lest_o they_o either_o be_v

as_o he_o be_v already_o come_v but_o this_o liberty_n the_o apostle_n do_v not_o confirm_v to_o be_v as_o a_o law_n always_o for_o they_o to_o rest_v on_o as_o not_o to_o seek_v for_o better_a
