thing_n signify_v whereof_o come_v great_a profit_n if_o they_o be_v receive_v by_o faith_n they_o which_o behold_v only_o the_o outward_a custom_n and_o fashion_n of_o the_o sacrament_n of_o the_o

of_o his_o father_n for_o the_o salvation_n of_o all_o the_o faithful_a it_o have_v be_v very_o unseemly_o that_o the_o sign_n shall_v continue_v in_o the_o church_n which_o shall_v witness_v that_o christ_n shall_v come_v who_o already_o be_v come_v wherefore_o christ_n after_o that_o he_o have_v abolish_v the_o symbol_n and_o ceremony_n of_o the_o ancient_a father_n to_o wit_n circumcision_n the_o feast_n of_o the_o passeover_n and_o the_o sacrifice_n in_o stead_n of_o circumcision_n place_v baptism_n and_o in_o stead_n of_o the_o sacrifice_n and_o of_o the_o pascall_n supper_n ordain_v

who_o soever_o offer_v not_o at_o the_o door_n of_o the_o tabernacle_n a_o offering_n unto_o the_o lord_n take_v shall_v be_v guilty_a of_o blood_n and_o shall_v perish_v as_o if_o he_o have_v shed_v

every_o thing_n curse_v which_o agree_v not_o with_o the_o gospel_n or_o which_o be_v contrary_a thereunto_o saint_n cyprian_n also_o the_o martyr_n say_v that_o every_o thing_n which_o be_v devise_v by_o man_n madness_n to_o break_v god_n ordinance_n be_v adulterous_a wicked_a and_o full_a of_o sacrilege_n in_o his_o first_o and_o second_o book_n of_o his_o epipistle_n 3._o we_o ought_v not_o say_v he_o to_o follow_v the_o custom_n of_o man_n but_o the_o truth_n of_o god_n for_o so_o much_o as_o god_n speak_v and_o

say_v by_o isaiah_n the_o prophet_n 7.7_o in_o vain_a do_v they_o worship_v i_o teach_v doctrine_n the_o commandment_n of_o man_n for_o if_o in_o the_o sacrifice_n which_o be_v christ_n none_o but_o

say_v in_o his_o gospel_n 15._o you_o be_v my_o friend_n if_o you_o do_v whatsoever_o i_o command_v you_o henceforth_o call_v i_o not_o you_o servant_n and_o that_o christ_n only_o ought_v to_o be_v
