urge_v and_o command_v of_o it_o the_o mind_n of_o good_a man_n and_o conscience_n of_o the_o faithful_a be_v offend_v for_o a_o tender_a conscience_n which_o fear_v god_n be_v a_o thing_n most_o precious_a and_o acceptable_a to_o god_n how_o therefore_o can_v that_o counsel_n be_v approve_v which_o will_v have_v a_o law_n establish_v and_o proclaim_v by_o the_o prince_n command_v for_o the_o use_n of_o garment_n to_o be_v use_v by_o minister_n in_o the_o ministry_n for_o to_o speak_v many_o thing_n in_o few_o word_n if_o such_o garment_n be_v to_o be_v propound_v to_o the_o faithful_a they_o be_v to_o be_v propound_v either_o as_o indifferent_a or_o as_o necessary_a if_o the_o late_a we_o do_v ungod_o because_o we_o make_v those_o thing_n necessary_a which_o christ_n will_v have_v to_o be_v free_a if_o the_o former_a then_o be_v they_o to_o be_v leave_v free_a to_o the_o church_n but_o by_o command_v and_o compel_v we_o make_v thing_n that_o be_v free_a and_o indifferent_a to_o be_v necessary_a and_o so_o fall_v into_o the_o same_o trespass_n moreover_o either_o they_o be_v ordain_v of_o god_n by_o moses_n or_o they_o be_v deliver_v by_o christ_n god_n manifest_v in_o the_o flesh_n or_o they_o be_v ordain_v by_o the_o holy_a ghost_n work_v and_o speak_v in_o the_o apostle_n or_o they_o be_v of_o man_n either_o godly_a or_o wicked_a those_o ceremony_n &_o leviticall_a garment_n which_o be_v ordain_v of_o god_n by_o moses_n ought_v all_o of_o they_o to_o have_v a_o end_n after_o the_o death_n of_o christ_n as_o the_o scripture_n show_v plain_o especial_o the_o epistle_n of_o paul_n to_o the_o coloss._n and_o hebr._n therefore_o they_o can_v be_v revoke_v and_o call_v back_o without_o the_o transgression_n of_o god_n will_n it_o can_v be_v say_v that_o christ_n teach_v they_o because_o there_o be_v no_o word_n extant_a to_o that_o end_n but_o rather_o he_o teach_v plain_o oftentimes_o that_o all_o moses_n his_o ceremony_n be_v end_v and_o the_o same_o i_o affirm_v concern_v the_o apostle_n it_o remain_v therefore_o that_o they_o be_v say_v to_o be_v of_o man_n if_o they_o be_v from_o godly_a man_n than_o be_v they_o ordain_v of_o they_o either_o to_o edification_n or_o for_o order_n and_o comeliness_n but_o they_o avail_v not_o to_o edification_n that_o be_v to_o further_a comeliness_n but_o rather_o tend_v to_o the_o overthrow_n of_o it_o as_o we_o see_v before_o neither_o for_o any_o good_a order_n but_o rather_o they_o tend_v to_o disorder_v for_o there_o be_v a_o confusion_n of_o godly_a &_o wicked_a bishop_n whereas_o it_o be_v meet_v and_o equal_a that_o one_o of_o they_o be_v discern_v from_o another_o even_o by_o their_o garment_n also_o neither_o do_v they_o make_v christ_n spouse_n comely_a as_o we_o show_v a_o little_a before_o therefore_o we_o ought_v not_o to_o yield_v unto_o they_o and_o such_o thing_n as_o have_v be_v invent_v by_o man_n void_a of_o god_n spirit_n do_v nothing_o appertain_v to_o
