command_v rom._n 13._o 1._o let_v every_o soul_n be_v subject_a to_o the_o high_a power_n i_o and_o without_o this_o if_o we_o deny_v our_o ruler_n this_o power_n that_o they_o have_v no_o authority_n

necessity_n of_o the_o imposition_n of_o this_o ceremony_n of_o the_o cross_n in_o baptism_n or_o after_o baptism_n because_o we_o neither_o judge_v it_o in_o itself_o necessary_a any_o way_n to_o

themselves_o put_v any_o opinion_n of_o necessity_n or_o religion_n in_o it_o see_v they_o do_v open_o declare_v themselves_o to_o the_o contrary_a in_o the_o doctrine_n of_o our_o church_n as_o you_o may_v easy_o perceive_v if_o you_o look_v upon_o our_o book_n of_o canon_n and_o examine_v the_o thirty_o canon_n the_o title_n whereof_o be_v the_o lawful_a use_n of_o the_o cross_n in_o baptism_n

lawful_a authority_n but_o still_o retain_v and_o establish_v by_o our_o law_n yet_o only_o for_o discipline_n and_o order_n and_o upon_o no_o other_o account_n of_o holiness_n or_o necessity_n there_o be_v a_o necessity_n of_o our_o obedience_n in_o it_o to_o the_o command_n of_o our_o governor_n and_o to_o the_o authority_n of_o the_o church_n as_o long_o as_o the_o ceremony_n itself_o be_v lawful_a in_o itself_o not_o contrary_a to_o the_o word_n of_o god_n may_v be_v lawful_o use_v upon_o this_o account_n and_o that_o it_o be_v the_o pleasure_n of_o king_n and_o parliament_n to_o enjoin_v it_o require_v it_o and_o command_v it_o thing_n in_o their_o own_o nature_n indifferent_a be_v command_v or_o forbid_v by_o a_o lawful_a magistrate_n do_v in_o some_o sort_n alter_v their_o nature_n in_o respect_n of_o the_o tie_n of_o our_o obedience_n and_o therefore_o because_o this_o ceremony_n be_v prescribe_v and_o command_v by_o authority_n the_o church_n expect_v obedience_n at_o our_o hand_n thus_o you_o may_v plain_o perceive_v the_o difference_n between_o the_o necessity_n of_o the_o imposition_n of_o it_o and_o the_o necessity_n of_o our_o obedience_n and_o submission_n to_o it_o when_o it_o be_v impose_v and_o enjoin_v 2._o for_o the_o surplice_n there_o be_v no_o reasonable_a man_n but_o will_v allow_v of_o distinction_n of_o degree_n among_o men._n then_o how_o
