church_n history_n lib._n 5._o cap._n 21._o write_v at_o length_n which_o the_o learned_a know_v yet_o there_o be_v some_o thing_n belong_v to_o the_o church_n of_o so_o weighty_a and_o important_a concernment_n that_o the_o universal_a church_n judge_v it_o no_o way_n expedient_a that_o particular_a church_n shall_v be_v leave_v to_o their_o own_o choice_n but_o that_o the_o universal_a church_n shall_v agree_v upon_o one_o certain_a way_n wherein_o all_o particular_a church_n may_v keep_v uniformity_n according_a to_o the_o rule_n of_o god_n word_n for_o order_n and_o decency_n and_o peace_n and_o therefore_o the_o learned_a know_v what_o contention_n fall_v out_o in_o the_o second_o century_n betwixt_o the_o church_n in_o the_o west_n and_o the_o church_n in_o lesser_a asia_n for_o these_o in_o lesser_a asia_n keep_v their_o feast_n of_o easter_n the_o same_o day_n that_o the_o jew_n keep_v their_o passover_n but_o the_o christian_n in_o the_o west_n keep_v their_o feast_n of_o easter_n upon_o the_o first_o sabbath_n day_n thereafter_o and_o albeit_o in_o this_o mean_a time_n the_o foresay_a west_n and_o east_n church_n their_o judgement_n and_o practice_n be_v diverse_a upon_o that_o matter_n yet_o on_o both_o side_n they_o who_o be_v strong_a in_o knowledge_n still_o keep_v church_n communion_n one_o with_o the_o other_o as_o socrates_n prove_v learned_o in_o the_o foresay_a book_n and_o chapter_n so_o that_o polycarpus_n bishop_n of_o smyrna_n afterward_o a_o glorious_a martyr_n of_o jesus_n christ_n albeit_o he_o do_v celebrat_a easter_n in_o that_o same_o day_n with_o the_o jew_n passover_n as_o ordinary_o do_v all_o his_o neighbour_n bishop_n in_o lesser_a asia_n yet_o come_v to_o rome_n he_o communicate_v with_o their_o bishop_n upon_o their_o christian_a sabbath_n day_n which_o differ_v from_o his_o day_n of_o give_v the_o communion_n at_o home_n but_o because_o there_o
be_v infirmity_n and_o weakness_n in_o many_o christian_n therefore_o after_o that_o diverse_a day_n of_o keep_v of_o easter_n raise_v such_o broil_n and_o contention_n betwixt_o the_o east_n and_o west_n church_n that_o there_o be_v no_o visible_a nor_o seasible_a way_n for_o prevent_v a_o fearful_a rent_n and_o schism_n in_o the_o universal_a church_n until_o the_o general_a council_n of_o nice_a do_v appoint_v all_o to_o keep_v one_o day_n which_o the_o universal_a church_n have_v keep_v ever_o since_o therefore_o beza_n in_o his_o 24._o epist_n and_o 14._o §_o thereof_o distinguish_v well_o betwixt_o ecclesiastic_a constitution_n some_o be_v universal_a some_o particular_a and_o without_o all_o controversy_n the_o sing_n of_o the_o doxology_n be_v of_o universal_a constitution_n for_o as_o we_o have_v prove_v from_o antiquity_n of_o father_n and_o council_n the_o sing_n of_o the_o doxology_n be_v the_o practice_n and_o judgement_n of_o the_o universal_a church_n therefore_o as_o the_o universal_a church_n resolve_v to_o keep_v easter_n upon_o a_o differ_a day_n from_o the_o jew_n who_o crucify_v the_o lord_n of_o glory_n and_o still_o blaspheme_v he_o as_o constantine_n the_o great_a insinuat_n in_o his_o pious_a letter_n after_o that_o council_n of_o nice_a so_o that_o same_o universal_a church_n resolve_v to_o keep_v the_o doxology_n as_o a_o testimony_n against_o the_o arian_n and_o all_o such_o blasphemous_a antitrinitarian_n heretic_n then_o to_o apply_v the_o sing_n of_o the_o doxology_n be_v like_o the_o keep_n of_o easter_n on_o the_o christian_a sabbath_n day_n and_o not_o with_o the_o jew_n on_o their_o day_n to_o which_o both_o the_o civil_a magistrate_n by_o their_o authority_n and_o the_o church_n by_o their_o spiritual_a authority_n do_v

below_o they_o to_o take_v notice_n of_o these_o thing_n as_o for_o the_o church_n authority_n which_o be_v than_o apostolic_a the_o learned_a know_v the_o reason_n why_o they_o do_v not_o determine_v these_o question_n of_o meat_n and_o day_n because_o there_o be_v a_o time_n allotre_v of_o interim_n betwixt_o the_o death_n and_o honourable_a burial_n of_o the_o jew_n ceremony_n which_o time_n of_o their_o honourable_a burial_n be_v not_o yet_o expire_v and_o the_o epistle_n to_o the_o roman_n be_v write_v in_o this_o interim_n during_o which_o time_n the_o jewish_a ceremony_n of_o meat_n

be_v a_o breach_n of_o the_o command_n of_o the_o church_n and_o state_n as_o now_o it_o be_v in_o refuse_v to_o sing_v the_o doxology_n yet_o as_o the_o sing_n of_o the_o doxology_n agree_v upon_o by_o the_o universal_a church_n differ_v from_o the_o keep_n of_o easter_n on_o the_o christian_a sabbath_n and_o not_o on_o the_o jewish_a sabbath_n in_o two_o particular_n 1._o the_o universal_a

the_o doxology_n 2._o the_o scandalize_a act_n of_o difference_n of_o keep_v easter_n be_v but_o once_o in_o the_o year_n but_o the_o refuse_v to_o sing_v the_o doxology_n be_v a_o scandal_n every_o weekly_a sabbath_n this_o your_o refuse_v to_o sing_v the_o doxology_n which_o the_o universal_a church_n judge_v to_o be_v lawful_a and_o expedient_a be_v offensive_a and_o evil_a both_o to_o these_o within_o and_o these_o without_o the_o church_n for_o these_o within_o the_o church_n i_o make_v this_o hypothesis_n that_o there_o be_v many_o thousand_o protestant_n beyond_o sea_n who_o hear_v that_o some_o in_o scotland_n have_v make_v a_o separation_n from_o their_o mother_n church_n and_o yet_o these_o same_o beyond_o sea_n do_v not_o study_v the_o particular_a ground_n or_o pretend_a cause_n of_o that_o separation_n yet_o these_o same_o person_n be_v certain_o inform_v that_o these_o of_o the_o scot_n separation_n among_o other_o difference_n refuse_v to_o sing_v the_o doxology_n which_o refusal_n of_o they_o be_v so_o notorious_a in_o their_o public_a worship_n that_o it_o be_v like_o the_o ointment_n upon_o the_o right_a hand_n which_o can_v be_v hide_v then_o what_o will_n protestant_a stranger_n over_o sea_n conclude_v even_o this_o that_o see_v there_o be_v in_o scotland_n some_o who_o without_o just_a cause_n have_v abandon_v the_o doxology_n contrary_a to_o the_o judgement_n and_o practice_n of_o the_o universal_a church_n than_o it_o be_v very_o like_a that_o their_o other_o pretence_n for_o their_o separation_n be_v as_o unwarrantable_a this_o refuse_v to_o sing_v the_o doxology_n be_v also_o evil_a to_o these_o without_o the_o church_n which_o i_o thus_o illustrat_fw-la a_o turk_n jew_n or_o pagan_a be_v in_o the_o way_n of_o conversion_n to_o

from_o christian_a baptism_n and_o salvation_n or_o else_o upon_o better_a information_n that_o these_o who_o refuse_v to_o sing_v the_o doxology_n be_v but_o a_o handful_n who_o do_v separate_v
