the_o church_n do_v not_o tyrannize_v over_o man_n conscience_n in_o ordain_v significant_a rite_n and_o ceremony_n but_o these_o man_n will_v tyrannize_v over_o the_o church_n who_o will_v spoil_v

not_o in_o those_o forenamed_a ordinance_n much_o less_o have_v they_o err_v in_o add_v signification_n unto_o their_o ceremony_n &_o by_o the_o same_o reason_n why_o have_v not_o the_o church_n as_o

church_n may_v not_o add_v any_o ceremonial_a sign_n unto_o our_o profession_n you_o produce_v a_o place_n of_o scripture_n which_o speak_v only_o of_o sacramental_a sign_n it_o be_v circumcision_n which_o be_v a_o sacramental_a sign_n that_o god_n in_o that_o place_n do_v add_v unto_o his_o covenant_n such_o sign_n i_o do_v yield_v that_o god_n only_o may_v institute_v but_o as_o for_o the_o cross_n we_o make_v it_o not_o a_o sacrament_n but_o only_o a_o ceremony_n and_o we_o may_v true_o say_v of_o it_o januar_n as_o saint_n augustine_n do_v of_o the_o birth_n day_n of_o christ_n non_fw-la in_o sacramento_fw-la celebratur_fw-la sed_fw-la tantum_fw-la in_o memoriam_fw-la revocatur_fw-la second_o if_o your_o proof_n be_v ad_fw-la idem_fw-la and_o proper_a to_o the_o purpose_n yet_o be_v it_o inconcludent_a for_o by_o what_o rule_n of_o reason_n can_v this_o consequent_a follow_n god_n add_v a_o sacramental_a sign_n unto_o his_o covenant_n ergo_fw-la man_n may_v not_o add_v a_o ceremonial_a sign_n if_o god_n add_v sign_n unto_o his_o covenant_n to_o assure_v we_o of_o his_o faithful_a performance_n of_o his_o part_n why_o may_v not_o we_o add_v sign_n unto_o our_o

form_n 11.4_o viz._n that_o he_o shall_v be_v our_o god_n and_o we_o shall_v be_v his_o people_n where_o the_o prophet_n expound_v our_o part_n of_o the_o covenant_n to_o be_v the_o faithful_a obey_v of_o he_o and_o not_o the_o outward_a profess_v of_o he_o as_o for_o faith_n &_o confession_n which_o you_o allege_v out_o of_o the_o rom._n cap._n 10.9_o to_o be_v the_o whole_a sum_n of_o our_o
