ob._n perhaps_o you_o will_v say_v that_o sit_v be_v agreeable_a to_o christ_n own_o institution_n and_o that_o he_o himself_o sit_v at_o his_o last_o supper_n resp._n but_o that_o be_v not_o so_o

you_o think_v that_o sit_v have_v not_o be_v so_o wicked_o abuse_v unto_o idolatry_n as_o kneel_v have_v resp._n nay_o much_o more_o and_o to_o more_o horrible_a idolatry_n too_o for_o in_o the_o kingdom_n of_o calecute_v and_o narsi●ga_n and_o in_o diverse_a other_o province_n of_o the_o east_n and_o west_n india_n where_o they_o worship_v the_o devil_n in_o a_o most_o deform_a image_n they_o represent_v he_o always_o sit_v and_o they_o worship_v he_o not_o kneel_v but_o prostrate_a so_o that_o they_o which_o reject_v kneel_v and_o retain_v sit_v while_o they_o avoid_v the_o gesture_n of_o christian_a idolater_n they_o imitate_v the_o gesture_n of_o heathen_a idol_n therefore_o where_o sit_v be_v allow_v i_o know_v not_o why_o either_o kneel_v or_o cross_v shall_v be_v abolish_v then_o to_o recapitulate_v the_o sum_n of_o this_o long_a answer_n if_o neither_o we_o ourselves_o nor_o the_o papit_v our_o adversary_n do_v think_v our_o cross_n available_a to_o the_o drive_v away_o of_o devil_n nor_o to_o the_o sanctify_a of_o ourselves_o nor_o yet_o do_v adore_v it_o with_o divine_a or_o holy_a worship_n then_o be_v not_o our_o cross_n make_v a_o idol_n either_o by_o our_o own_o practice_n or_o by_o their_o opinion_n and_o therefore_o not_o to_o be_v debar_v from_o the_o service_n of_o god_n by_o force_n of_o your_o first_o argument_n again_o if_o our_o cross_n be_v either_o no_o human_a invention_n but_o rather_o a_o apostolical_a tradition_n or_o be_v a_o human_a invention_n yet_o have_v never_o be_v abuse_v unto_o idolatry_n then_o be_v it_o not_o exclude_v from_o the_o service_n of_o god_n by_o virtue_n of_o your_o second_o argument_n but_o the_o first_o of_o these_o be_v true_a as_o i_o have_v show_v in_o the_o body_n of_o this_o answer_n ergo_fw-la the_o second_o also_o the_o five_o objection_n for_o as_o much_o as_o our_o profession_n of_o christ_n be_v a_o part_n of_o the_o covenant_n rom._n 10.8.9_o i_o have_v doubt_v how_o man_n may_v appoint_v the_o sign_n of_o the_o cross_n as_o a_o token_n of_o our_o profession_n this_o be_v god_n own_o prerogative_n as_o to_o ordain_v the_o covenant_n so_o to_o ordain_v meet_a sign_n for_o it_o gen._n 17.7.11_o answer_n this_o five_o objection_n be_v very_o intricate_a but_o i_o guess_v that_o ●t_z may_v be_v explicate_v thus_o no_o man_n may_v add_v sign_n to_o the_o covenant_n of_o god_n gen._n 17.7.11_o but_o our_o profession_n of_o christ_n be_v the_o covenant_n of_o god_n rom._n 10.8.9_o ergo_fw-la no_o man_n may_v add_v sign_n to_o our_o profession_n of_o christ._n and_o by_o consequent_a the_o sign_n of_o the_o cross_n may_v not_o be_v add_v to_o our_o profession_n in_o baptism_n in_o which_o argument_n the_o mayor_n must_v be_v answer_v by_o distinction_n that_o the_o outward_a sign_n of_o our_o profession_n or_o covenant_n with_o god_n be_v of_o two_o diverse_a nature_n for_o either_o they_o be_v sacramental_a or_o ceremonial_a sign_n for_o sacramental_a sign_n we_o plain_o confess_v that_o they_o must_v needs_o be_v of_o god_n own_o institution_n and_o have_v his_o own_o promise_n annex_v unto_o they_o and_o therefore_o no_o man_n have_v any_o power_n to_o ordain_v they_o but_o this_o as_o you_o true_o say_v be_v god_n sole_a prerogative_n but_o ●or_a ritual_a and_o ceremonial_a sign_n make_v either_o for_o the_o order_n of_o the_o church_n within_o itself_o or_o for_o the_o distinguish_n of_o it_o from_o other_o assembly_n the_o case_n be_v far_o otherwise_o such_o thing_n may_v be_v make_v by_o the_o church_n constitution_n without_o any_o encroach_a upon_o god_n prerogative_n by_o the_o judgement_n of_o the_o most_o divine_n both_o old_a and_o new_a i_o reffere_o you_o for_o brevity_n sake_n unto_o the_o ninety_o five_o page_n of_o bishop_n whitgifts_n book_n continue_v unto_o page_n 128._o in_o which_o long_a and_o learned_a discourse_n he_o cit_v many_o testimony_n of_o the_o ancient_a father_n declare_v many_o rite_n ceremony_n to_o have_v be_v ordain_v in_o the_o primitive_a church_n by_o her_o own_o authority_n without_o any_o express_a warrant_n of_o the_o word_n for_o they_o save_v only_o that_o general_a

notwithstanding_a that_o indulgence_n which_o you_o seem_v to_o give_v they_o so_o that_o the_o creature_n of_o god_n have_v no_o great_a privilege_n be_v monument_n of_o idolatry_n than_o other_o thing_n have_v and_o i_o desire_v to_o know_v either_o the_o place_n where_o or_o the_o case_n when_o or_o the_o cause_n why_o such_o privilege_n be_v grant_v they_o for_o i_o suppose_v that_o this_o clause_n of_o exemption_n be_v but_o cunning_o insert_v into_o the_o proposition_n only_o to_o avoid_v the_o force_n of_o those_o evident_a example_n which_o may_v be_v bring_v of_o god_n creature_n and_o ordinance_n abuse_v to_o idolatry_n which_o yet_o have_v be_v restore_v unto_o their_o use_n of_o piety_n and_o to_o tie_v we_o only_o unto_o the_o invention_n of_o man_n wherein_o you_o suppose_v we_o can_v bring_v you_o none_o instance_n so_o that_o from_o this_o clause_n of_o your_o exemption_n i_o thus_o argue_v the_o creature_n of_o god_n have_v no_o great_a privilege_n than_o the_o ordinance_n of_o the_o church_n but_o the_o creature_n of_o god_n by_o your_o own_o confession_n be_v privilege_v from_o destruction_n though_o they_o have_v be_v abuse_v unto_o idolatry_n ergo._fw-la the_o ordinance_n of_o the_o church_n be_v likewise_o privilege_v and_o consequent_o the_o cross_n so_o that_o either_o you_o must_v show_v by_o the_o testimony_n of_o scripture_n where_o that_o special_a privilege_n be_v grant_v unto_o god_n creature_n or_o else_o will_v we_o plead_v it_o as_o a_o common_a law_n for_o ceremony_n and_o for_o man_n invention_n as_o it_o please_v you_o to_o call_v all_o ecclesiastical_a constitution_n though_o t.c._n have_v a_o other_o opinion_n of_o they_o as_o you_o hear_v before_o pag._n 16._o the_o second_o reason_n which_o move_v i_o to_o deny_v your_o proposition_n be_v the_o judgement_n and_o practice_n of_o the_o primitive_a church_n against_o it_o who_o have_v admit_v of_o diverse_a invention_n of_o man_n in_o the_o service_n of_o

not_o only_o without_o any_o warrant_n but_o also_o direct_o against_o god_n commandment_n and_o yet_o you_o see_v that_o the_o primitive_a and_o pure_a church_n make_v no_o scruple_n at_o all_o of_o use_v those_o temple_n though_o they_o be_v the_o same_o individua_fw-la that_o have_v be_v abuse_v 12.2_o and_o have_v a_o express_a commandment_n to_o be_v destroy_v who_o example_n contrary_a to_o your_o position_n all_o the_o reform_a church_n of_o christendom_n do_v imitate_v in_o use_v without_o scruple_n those_o very_a same_o church_n which_o have_v manifest_o and_o manifold_o be_v

shall_v so_o full_o conspire_v in_o use_v the_o same_o temple_n which_o have_v be_v abuse_v contrary_a unto_o the_o express_a and_o particular_a commandment_n of_o god_n as_o you_o imagine_v but_o only_o this_o that_o they_o think_v not_o themselves_o there_o bind_v to_o use_v destruction_n where_o the_o thing_n abuse_v will_v admit_v a_o reformation_n as_o it_o have_v apparent_o do_v no_o
