All and every of these Aaronical Vestments under the Law were particularly invented prescribed together with their matter form colour use by God himself in precise terms not by Moses or Aaron and his Sons alone according to their own fancies But the Vestments Garments Rochets Surplisses of Popes Archbishops Bishops Priests Deacons now contended for were neither particularly invented prescribed by God himself or Christ either in respect of their matter form colour use directly or indirectly nor by any one Text in the Old or New Testament but merely invented prescribed by Popes Archbishops Bishops Priests Monks according to their own vain doting fancies Therefore no wayes justified but condemned by these Texts 2ly All these Garments were made and the constant use of them in Divine services and administrations punctually enjoyned by Gods special Command warrant law not by Popes Bishops Councils Decretals Injunctions Constitutions Canons Visitation Articles alone as all Pontifical Sacerdotal Garments Rochets Surplisses Hoods and other such Trinkets are 3ly They were all put on Aaron and his Sons and both of them consecrated together by Moses alone the chief civil Magistrate not by any Pope Bishop Priest or other Ecclesiastical person who now only ingrosse and claim the right of ordaining consecrating all Archbishops Bishops Priests Ministers Deacons Ecclesiastical persons together with the hallowing of their Garments Rochets Surplisses and deem it no lesse than Sacrilege and U●urpation for Kings or Civil Magistrates to ordain or consecrate any of them or order ought concerning them but at their requests and as their Substitutes 4ly These Garments of theirs were different both in matter kind form fashion from Rochets Surplisses Al●ees Hoods Planets Dulmaticks Chymeres Palls Stoles Pectoral Cr●sses Cass●ckes Gownes Black Silken Girdles Copes Miters square Gaps and other Vestments now used contended for by Ceremonial Prelates and Clergy-men Therfore not warranted but condemned by these Texts 5ly These Garments were prescribed to Aaron and his Sons to put on only when they went in to the Tabernacle Altar Temple to offer up Levitical Sacrafices and Services unto God not when they prayed preached instructed the people in their several Cities Synagogues or in their Kings Pallaces as these Texts resolve Therefore no presidents for Bishops Priests or Deacons to imitate when they preach read Prayers officiate or administer Sacraments in Cathedrals or Parish Churches and Chapels 6ly Aaron the High Priest and his Successors with his Sons and Jewish Priests Sacrafices Priesthood Altars Vestments were all temporary typical utterly abolished by the incarnation passion sacrifice resurrection ascention of our Lord Jesus Christ who they typiFIed shadowed as inconsistent with and not fit to be continued under the Gospel as the Epistle to the Hebrews Galatians Romans Collossians Acts 15. and whole New Testament all Commentators on them Old and New resolve especially Hebr. 7 8 9 10. Therefore these Vestments may not ought not to be revived continued under the Gospel unlesse we will revive the Aaronical Priesthood High Priest Priest Levites with their Sacrifice● Altars Tabernacle Temple and all other Levitical Ceremonies Vestments in specie and renounce both Christ himself with his Priesthood Ministry and the Gospel 7ly None were to put on or wear these holy Garments but Aaron and his Sonnes who were all Priests by birth and succession not election and ordination as all Apostles Bishops 〈◊〉 Ministers Deacons were and yet are who being none of the Tribe of Levy or Sonnes of Aaron by natu●al generation can claim no Title by the Law to their Priestly Garments much less by the Gospel which thus expresly resolve● Hebr. 7. 12 13. For the Priesthood being changed there is made of necessity a change also of the Law For he of whom these things are spoken pertaineth to another Tribe of which no man gave attendance at the Altar and of which Tribe Moses spake nothing concerning Priesthood An unanswerable Text against all Evangelical Bishops Ministers Deacons claimes and pretences especially being Gentiles not Jewes by birth and Christians by regeneration to Aaronical Levitical Priestly Vestments or Ornaments which Text I desire them all to answer at their leisures 8ly If any allege they onely use these Garments by way of allusion or imitation not prescription I answer 1.
