can_v enter_v into_o rational_a mind_n that_o god_n shall_v break_v off_o the_o yoke_n of_o his_o own_o ceremony_n as_o unsuitable_a to_o the_o evangelical_n liberty_n and_o yet_o that_o a_o yoke_n of_o human_a ceremony_n shall_v be_v put_v on_o as_o congruous_a to_o it_o if_o human_a ceremony_n may_v succeed_v in_o the_o room_n of_o divine_a than_o the_o yoke_n be_v not_o remove_v but_o change_v and_o that_o as_o much_o for_o the_o worse_o as_o human_a ceremony_n weigh_v heavy_a than_o divine_a be_v it_o put_v to_o the_o option_n of_o any_o intelligent_a man_n whether_o he_o will_v have_v a_o ritual_a burden_n of_o god_n bind_v lay_v upon_o he_o or_o one_o of_o man_n he_o will_v certain_o choose_v to_o have_v it_o do_v rather_o by_o the_o god_n of_o wisdom_n and_o mercy_n than_o by_o any_o creature_n we_o see_v clear_o that_o god_n have_v no_o where_n in_o the_o new_a testament_n lay_v any_o such_o burden_n or_o set_v any_o such_o conditional_a bar_n to_o ordinance_n and_o how_o or_o why_o shall_v man_n do_v it_o or_o if_o he_o do_v it_o how_o or_o which_o way_n be_v the_o christian_a franchise_n preserve_v the_o church_n power_n be_v but_o subordinate_a and_o subalternate_a to_o christ_n and_o how_o can_v it_o put_v bar_n or_o condition_n to_o that_o privilege_n which_o he_o have_v grant_v to_o christian_n when_o a_o church_n use_v its_o power_n according_a to_o the_o line_n and_o level_a of_o scripture_n than_o all_o be_v well_o but_o when_o it_o overflow_v and_o exceed_v its_o commission_n than_o christian_a liberty_n go_v to_o wreck_n again_o they_o seem_v to_o be_v against_o christian_a charity_n as_o be_v stumbling-block_n to_o doubt_v soul_n occasion_v their_o fall_n into_o sin_n our_o dear_a lord_n jesus_n leave_v we_o the_o

any_o satisfactory_a one_o it_o be_v say_v that_o in_o case_n of_o scandal_n we_o must_v abstain_v from_o indifferent_a thing_n whilst_o they_o remain_v indifferent_a but_o not_o after_o they_o be_v determine_v by_o authority_n but_o to_o i_o it_o sound_v exceed_o harsh_a to_o say_v that_o in_o case_n the_o magistrate_n command_v it_o we_o may_v wound_v or_o destroy_v our_o brother_n a_o

of_o man_n can_v dispense_v with_o it_o be_v say_v that_o in_o conform_v to_o the_o ceremony_n there_o can_v be_v only_o a_o scandal_n to_o a_o brother_n but_o in_o nonconform_v there_o be_v scandal_n to_o the_o magistrate_n and_o this_o indeed_o if_o it_o be_v a_o scandal_n of_o the_o same_o kind_n be_v great_a than_o the_o other_o but_o as_o learned_a mr._n jean_n do_v distinguish_v 127._o
