that_o the_o question_n be_v not_o of_o a_o degree_n of_o a_o act_n of_o obedience_n command_v as_o almes-giving_a be_v but_o of_o the_o act_n itself_o if_o not_o command_v nor_o allow_v in_o the_o special_a nor_o in_o the_o general_a but_o this_o answer_n can_v be_v of_o any_o manner_n of_o use_n to_o the_o diatribist_n for_o 1._o the_o question_n be_v certain_o this_o whether_o ceremony_n and_o festival_n in_o a_o church_n be_v criminous_a if_o they_o be_v not_o command_v by_o god_n and_o ceremony_n and_o festival_n be_v gesture_n and_o time_n and_o so_o circumstance_n not_o act_n of_o worship_n it_o be_v visible_a that_o the_o question_n be_v not_o only_o of_o the_o act_n itself_o 2._o the_o reason_n be_v the_o same_o of_o circumstance_n and_o of_o degree_n of_o one_o accessory_a and_o of_o another_o it_o follow_v that_o if_o uncommand_v degree_n may_v be_v lawful_a uncommand_v circumstance_n must_v be_v lawful_a also_o 3._o though_o almes-giving_a in_o general_n be_v command_v yet_o as_o long_o as_o the_o degree_n be_v uncommand_v the_o argument_n from_o the_o lawfulness_n of_o those_o degree_n will_v hold_v to_o the_o justify_n of_o ceremony_n or_o festival_n because_o as_o almes-giving_a be_v command_v so_o pray_v to_o and_o praise_v of_o god_n be_v command_v also_o and_o these_o ceremony_n and_o festival_n be_v as_o visible_o circumstance_n of_o prayer_n and_o praise_v as_o these_o degree_n be_v of_o almes-giving_a nay_o 4._o to_o take_v away_o all_o possibility_n that_o this_o answer_n shall_v be_v useful_a to_o he_o the_o instance_n which_o i_o set_v of_o almesgiving_n be_v of_o a_o uncommanded_a act_n for_o suppose_v the_o utmost_a degree_n of_o the_o uncommanded_a mercy_n to_o be_v once_o define_v and_o determine_v and_o suppose_v i_o to_o exceed_v that_o proportion_n in_o give_v it_o be_v evident_a that_o that_o exceed_a be_v a_o act_n first_o and_o then_o a_o uncommanded_a act_n a_o act_n for_o so_o be_v every_o exercise_n or_o work_v of_o mercy_n and_o this_o give_v be_v such_o a_o exercise_n and_o a_o uncommanded_a act_n for_o so_o be_v all_o which_o be_v not_o under_o precept_n and_o so_o this_o be_v suppose_v to_o be_v and_o herein_o it_o be_v perfect_o answerable_a to_o the_o freewill_n offer_v among_o the_o jew_n sacrifice_n or_o offering_n be_v a_o determine_v and_o command_v duty_n and_o every_o exercise_n of_o that_o above_o what_o be_v command_v be_v a_o freewill_n oblation_n and_o as_o such_o accept_v by_o god_n and_o so_o it_o be_v here_o as_o for_o his_o cautious_a restriction_n add_v in_o the_o close_a of_o that_o answer_n which_o pretend_v that_o the_o question_n be_v of_o such_o act_n which_o as_o they_o be_v not_o command_v so_o neither_o be_v they_o allow_v in_o special_a or_o in_o general_a he_o must_v needs_o know_v that_o this_o be_v a_o impose_v on_o the_o reader_n for_o 1._o the_o question_n be_v of_o the_o lawfulness_n of_o uncommanded_a act_n and_o allowance_n whether_o general_a or_o special_a be_v yet_o no_o command_n for_o no_o man_n be_v bind_v to_o do_v all_o that_o he_o be_v allow_v to_o do_v it_o be_v evident_a that_o the_o acknowledge_v the_o lawfulness_n of_o allow_a act_n as_o they_o must_v needs_o be_v lawful_a if_o they_o be_v allow_v be_v the_o acknowledge_v the_o lawfulness_n of_o some_o uncommand_v act_n for_o such_o be_v they_o which_o be_v no_o more_o then_o allow_v 2._o for_o the_o clear_n of_o this_o i_o shall_v offer_v the_o diatribist_n this_o dilemma_n be_v these_o high_a but_o uncommand_v degree_n of_o mercy_n allow_v either_o in_o general_a or_o special_a now_o under_o the_o gospel_n or_o be_v they_o not_o if_o they_o be_v not_o than_o this_o cautionary_a clause_n be_v very_o impertinent_o add_v and_o my_o instance_n though_o it_o proceed_v of_o degree_n which_o be_v not_o thus_o allow_v yet_o proceed_n of_o degree_n which_o be_v not_o command_v be_v a_o valid_a instance_n but_o if_o they_o be_v allow_v as_o i_o suppose_v by_o his_o caution_n he_o will_v affirm_v why_o then_o it_o seem_v there_o be_v either_o general_a or_o special_a allowance_n still_o under_o the_o gospel_n for_o uncommanded_a act_n and_o then_o there_o be_v as_o much_o for_o they_o under_o christ_n as_o there_o be_v under_o moses_n for_o freewill_n offering_n and_o so_o the_o leviticalness_n of_o the_o freewill_n offering_n consist_v not_o in_o this_o that_o they_o be_v thus_o allow_v and_o then_o this_o be_v no_o part_n of_o that_o levitical_a law_n nor_o consequent_o of_o that_o which_o be_v abolish_v as_o 91._o before_o he_o have_v affirm_v and_o so_o the_o diatribist_n whole_a scheme_n be_v demolish_v or_o rather_o fall_v asunder_o of_o its_o own_o accord_n as_o all_o infirm_a fabric_n be_v apt_a to_o do_v what_o follow_v in_o
