from_o all_o affection_n i_o utterlye_o abhor_v contention_n and_o nothing_o do_v i_o more_o humble_o crave_v at_o the_o lord_n hand_n than_o that_o he_o will_v remove_v far_o from_o the_o church_n all_o contention_n which_o from_o the_o beginning_n and_o always_o have_v great_o annoy_v true_a godliness_n and_o rend_v a_o sunder_o the_o church_n when_o it_o be_v reasonable_o quiet_a and_o in_o good_a case_n where_o you_o ask_v whether_o law_n of_o apparel_n ought_v to_o be_v prescribe_v to_o ecclesiastical_a person_n that_o thereby_o they_o may_v

be_v certain_a that_o christian_n when_o they_o come_v first_o unto_o christ_n religion_n and_o to_o the_o church_n for_o a_o gown_n put_v on_o a_o cloak_n for_o which_o cause_n when_o they_o be_v mock_v of_o the_o gentile_n tertullian_n write_v a_o very_a learned_a treatise_n de_fw-fr pallio_fw-la i_o can_v bring_v forth_o many_o other_o thing_n of_o this_o sort_n if_o these_o be_v not_o sufficient_a in_o deed_n i_o have_v rather_o have_v nothing_o lay_v upon_o the_o minister_n against_o their_o will_n and_o that_o they_o may_v use_v the_o manner_n of_o the_o apostle_n but_o for_o as_o much_o as_z the_o queen_n majesty_n require_v the_o cap_n only_o and_o the_o surplice_n wherein_o as_o be_v oftentimes_o say_v already_o she_o put_v no_o religion_n and_o the_o same_o thing_n have_v be_v use_v of_o the_o ancient_a father_n when_o the_o church_n be_v in_o better_a case_n without_o all_o superstition_n and_o fault_n i_o will_v wish_v good_a minister_n not_o to_o put_v all_o the_o go_v forward_o of_o religion_n in_o these_o thing_n as_o if_o they_o be_v all_o and_o sum_n according_a to_o the_o proverb_n but_o yield_v somewhat_o to_o the_o time_n and_o not_o odiouse_o to_o strive_v about_o a_o thing_n indifferent_a but_o judge_v sober_o that_o these_o thing_n may_v be_v bear_v but_o we_o must_v go_v forward_o with_o the_o tyme._n for_o that_o such_o be_v near_o to_o the_o simplicity_n of_o the_o apostle_n as_o know_v no_o such_o difference_n or_o enforce_v they_o not_o &_o yet_o in_o the_o mean_a while_n abhor_v not_o discipline_n in_o apparel_n whether_o prescription_n of_o apparel_n agree_v with_o christian_n liberty_n i_o answer_v that_o thing_n indifferent_a admit_v sometime_o prescription_n and_o enforcement_n also_o as_o i_o may_v term_v it_o as_o touch_v the_o use_n and_o not_o for_o necessity_n so_o as_o that_o which_o be_v by_o nature_n indifferent_a shall_v be_v thrust_v upon_o the_o conscience_n as_o necessary_a and_o so_o the_o mind_n drive_v into_o scrupolositie_n time_n very_o and_o place_n of_o holy_a assembly_n be_v righte_o count_v among_o indifferent_a thing_n and_o yet_o if_o these_o than_o be_v no_o set_a order_n what_o confusion_n i_o pray_v you_o and_o disorder_n will_v grow_v thereupon_o whether_o any_o new_a ceremony_n may_v be_v heap_v beside_o the_o express_a rule_n of_o the_o word_n of_o god_n i_o answer_v that_o i_o like_v not_o heap_v of_o new_a ceremony_n and_o yet_o i_o deny_v not_o but_o that_o some_o may_v be_v ordain_v so_o that_o the_o service_n of_o god_n be_v not_o put_v in_o they_o but_o appoint_v for_o order_n and_o discipline_n christ_n himself_o keep_v the_o feast_n or_o ceremony_n of_o the_o encoenia_fw-la or_o dedication_n and_o yet_o we_o find_v not_o this_o feast_n prescribe_v in_o the_o law_n to_o be_v short_a the_o great_a part_n of_o the_o proposition_n or_o question_n concern_v apparel_n stand_v in_o this_o whether_o law_n for_o apparel_n ought_v or_o be_v lawful_a to_o be_v make_v in_o the_o church_n and_o it_o bring_v the_o question_n to_o a_o generality_n to_o wit_n what_o order_n may_v be_v take_v for_o ceremony_n to_o these_o proposition_n i_o answer_v brief_o that_o i_o for_o my_o part_n i_o have_v rather_o have_v no_o ceremony_n but_o such_o as_o be_v necessary_a thrust_v upon_o the_o church_n yet_o in_o the_o mean_a season_n i_o grant_v that_o law_n concern_v ceremony_n peradventure_o not_o very_o necessary_a and_o sometime_o unprofitable_a may_v not_o straight_o way_n be_v condemn_v of_o impiety_n and_o so_o trouble_v and_o schism_n raise_v in_o the_o church_n so_o long_o as_o they_o be_v void_a of_o superstition_n and_o the_o thing_n be_v in_o their_o own_o nature_n indifferent_a whether_o it_o be_v lawful_a to_o restore_v the_o abolish_v rite_n of_o the_o jew_n &_o to_o translate_v ceremony_n proper_o dedicate_v to_o religion_n of_o idolater_n to_o the_o use_n of_o reform_a church_n to_o this_o question_n i_o answer_v afore_o when_o i_o entreat_v of_o leviticall_a rite_n and_o i_o will_v not_o have_v idolatrous_a rite_n unpurged_a of_o error_n translate_v into_o reform_a church_n and_o again_o and_o on_o the_o contrary_a part_n it_o may_v be_v demand_v whether_o receyve_v rite_n superstition_n be_v remove_v may_v not_o by_o discipline_n and_o order_n be_v retain_v without_o sin_n whether_o conformity_n in_o ceremony_n be_v of_o necessity_n to_o be_v exact_v i_o answer_v that_o conformity_n in_o ceremony_n be_v not_o peradventure_o necessary_a in_o all_o church_n in_o the_o mean_a season_n if_o a_o thing_n not_o necessary_a be_v command_v so_o that_o the_o same_o be_v not_o ungodly_a it_o seem_v not_o that_o therefore_o the_o church_n shall_v be_v forsake_v there_o be_v not_o conformity_n in_o rite_n in_o all_o the_o old_a church_n yet_o such_o as_o kéept_v not_o conformity_n reprove_v not_o the_o keeper_n of_o uniform_a rite_n and_o i_o be_o easy_o persuade_v that_o politic_a wise_a man_n urge_v this_o uniformity_n of_o rite_n because_o they_o think_v it_o make_v unto_o concord_n and_o because_o the_o church_n of_o all_o england_n be_v one_o church_n wherein_o if_o there_o be_v no_o impiety_n mix_v i_o see_v not_o how_o you_o can_v so_o fierce_o set_v yourselves_o against_o such_o order_n be_v not_o evil_a whether_o ceremony_n open_o offensive_a may_v be_v retain_v i_o answer_v that_o offence_n ought_v to_o be_v avoid_v in_o the_o mean_a time_n we_o must_v beware_v that_o we_o cover_v not_o our_o own_o affection_n under_o the_o name_n of_o offence_n you_o know_v there_o be_v a_o offence_n give_v and_o a_o offence_n take_v and_o as_o it_o be_v seek_v of_o ourselves_o i_o dispute_v not_o now_o whether_o you_o can_v for_o a_o thing_n indifferent_a without_o give_v of_o grievous_a offence_n forsake_v the_o church_n that_o christ_n die_v for_o whether_o any_o order_n be_v to_o be_v bear_v in_o the_o church_n which_o in_o their_o own_o nature_n in_o deed_n be_v not_o ungodlie_a but_o yet_o make_v nothing_o for_o edification_n i_o answer_v if_o the_o order_n which_o the_o queen_n majesty_n enjoin_v you_o be_v void_a of_o impiety_n you_o ought_v rather_o to_o bear_v they_o than_o forsake_v your_o church_n for_o if_o the_o edify_n of_o the_o church_n be_v chief_o to_o be_v seek_v in_o this_o matter_n very_o we_o shall_v soon_o destroy_v the_o church_n by_o forsake_v it_o than_o by_o put_v on_o the_o apparel_n and_o where_o ungodlynesse_n be_v not_o neither_o the_o conscience_n offend_v there_o must_v we_o not_o give_v over_o though_o we_o shall_v bear_v some_o servitude_n and_o here_o again_o it_o may_v be_v demand_v whether_o apparel_n may_v just_o be_v count_v servitude_n so_o far_o forth_o as_o it_o serve_v to_o comeliness_n and_o order_n whether_o the_o prince_n ought_v to_o prescribe_v any_o thing_n to_o the_o church_n in_o ceremony_n without_o the_o good_a will_n and_o free_a consent_n of_o ecclesiastical_a person_n i_o answer_v if_o the_o prince_n shall_v always_o have_v stay_v for_o the_o good_a will_n of_o his_o clergy_n peradventure_o the_o most_o wise_a and_o godly_a king_n josaphat_n ezechias_n asa_n and_o josias_n and_o other_o good_a prince_n have_v never_o bring_v the_o levite_n and_o minister_n of_o the_o church_n into_o order_n albeit_o my_o mind_n be_v not_o at_o all_o that_o bishop_n shall_v be_v shut_v out_o of_o consultation_n for_o the_o church_n again_o i_o will_v not_o have_v they_o challenge_v such_o authority_n to_o themselves_o as_o they_o have_v usurp_v against_o prince_n and_o magistrate_n in_o papacy_n neither_o will_v i_o have_v bishop_n to_o hold_v their_o peace_n and_o agree_v unto_o unjust_a ordinance_n of_o prince_n the_o last_o two_o question_n touch_v the_o matter_n near_o whether_o it_o be_v better_o in_o this_o order_n to_o serve_v the_o church_n or_o for_o these_o thing_n to_o be_v cast_v out_o of_o ecclesiastical_a function_n and_o whether_o good_a pastor_n may_v for_o the_o neglect_v of_o such_o ceremony_n just_o be_v put_v from_o the_o ministry_n i_o answer_v if_o there_o be_v no_o superstition_n nor_o impiety_n in_o the_o rite_n and_o yet_o they_o be_v enforce_v and_o enjoin_v good_a pastor_n which_o have_v rather_o be_v discharge_v of_o they_o in_o deed_n i_o will_v grant_v and_o that_o more_o liberal_o than_o need_v that_o a_o burden_n and_o servitude_n be_v lay_v upon_o they_o but_o i_o will_v not_o grant_v and_o that_o for_o most_o just_a cause_n that_o therefore_o they_o shall_v forsake_v their_o place_n or_o ministry_n and_o give_v over_o unto_o wolf_n as_o it_o have_v be_v say_v already_o or_o to_o unfit_a minister_n special_o when_o liberty_n to_o preach_v be_v not_o take_v away_o and_o provision_n may_v be_v make_v that_o no_o further_a servitude_n creep_v in_o and_o many_o such_o like_a thing_n i_o have_v say_v what_o i_o think_v to_o be_v say_v of_o the_o matter_n propound_v in_o
