say_v that_o that_o day_n shall_v not_o be_v keep_v for_o a_o ceremony_n but_o some_o other_o that_o be_v not_o to_o abrogate_v but_o to_o change_v the_o ceremony_n as_o he_o that_o strip_v himself_o

meat_n and_o day_n for_o the_o colossian_n be_v trouble_v with_o false_a apostle_n as_o be_v the_o galatian_n and_o what_o be_v the_o reason_n that_o they_o be_v so_o encumber_v with_o jewish_a observation_n forsooth_o the_o religion_n of_o christian_n which_o rather_o consist_v of_o pure_a simplicity_n than_o pompous_a solemnity_n have_v but_o the_o word_n bare_o preach_v the_o sacrament_n without_o vain_a show_v administer_v prayer_n in_o humility_n offer_v and_o therefore_o it_o seem_v not_o so_o polish_v so_o glorious_a and_o so_o garnish_v as_o the_o jewish_a religion_n which_o do_v draw_v the_o great_a part_n of_o man_n after_o it_o thus_o our_o father_n see_v the_o jewish_a religion_n so_o vernish_v and_o the_o gentile_n religion_n so_o pompous_a and_o christian_a religion_n full_a of_o simplicity_n draw_v the_o gentile_n from_o the_o simplicity_n of_o christianisme_n and_o bring_v in_o this_o heap_n of_o ceremony_n wherefore_o here_o paul_n tell_v they_o that_o these_o thing_n be_v but_o instruction_n for_o a_o time_n and_o pedagogical_a and_o therefore_o do_v not_o so_o appertain_v unto_o they_o as_o they_o shall_v need_v to_o trouble_v their_o conscience_n about_o they_o though_o they_o observe_v they_o not_o let_v no_o man_n condemn_v you_o say_v the_o apostle_n in_o such_o jewish_a ceremony_n as_o for_o the_o not_o observe_v of_o they_o they_o shall_v count_v you_o no_o christian_n here_o be_v the_o same_o drift_n of_o the_o matter_n which_o be_v of_o the_o former_a here_o the_o apostle_n descend_v from_o general_n to_o particular_n there_o he_o ascend_v from_o particular_n to_o general_n let_v no_o man_n condemn_v you_o in_o respect_n of_o a_o holy_a day_n which_o be_v a_o octonarie_n for_o eight_o day_n long_o do_v the_o feast_n of_o the_o jew_n last_o or_o of_o the_o sabbath_n day_n he_o say_v not_o of_o the_o sabbath_n for_o he_o mean_v those_o sabbath_n which_o be_v appertenance_n of_o the_o former_a holy_a day_n not_o that_o holy_a

condemn_v you_o in_o meat_n and_o drink_v he_o show_v that_o the_o jew_n have_v certain_a beast_n and_o bird_n unclean_a and_o drink-offering_n which_o be_v forbid_v they_o howbeit_o unto_o christian_n all_o thing_n be_v pure_a but_o some_o will_v say_v what_o need_v we_o now_o to_o fast_o who_o will_v censure_v we_o i_o answer_v the_o lord_n himself_o for_o albeit_o we_o that_o be_v

either_o for_o the_o remove_n of_o some_o judgement_n which_o present_o do_v lie_v upon_o they_o or_o for_o the_o prevent_n of_o some_o peril_n which_o be_v towards_o they_o or_o for_o the_o obtain_n of_o some_o grace_n which_o they_o want_v and_o yet_o without_o all_o observation_n of_o day_n so_o we_o must_v join_v with_o they_o and_o therefore_o whosoever_o refuse_v the_o exercise_n of_o
