have_v show_v that_o they_o leave_v in_o themselves_o to_o be_v god_n commandment_n and_o shall_v not_o have_v be_v practise_v without_o necessity_n that_o be_v of_o do_v service_n to_o god_n in_o these_o forenamed_a end_n and_o touch_v signification_n some_o man_n may_v thus_o argue_v that_o either_o the_o jewish_a ceremony_n practise_v by_o the_o apostle_n have_v a_o signification_n in_o their_o intention_n or_o none_o at_o all_o if_o none_o than_o they_o may_v seem_v needless_a and_o unprofitable_a and_o so_o the_o apostle_n may_v seem_v to_o be_v the_o practiser_n of_o idle_a action_n which_o say_v i_o be_v most_o true_a be_v it_o not_o by_o their_o practice_n to_o wine_n the_o more_o and_o to_o further_a the_o gospel_n which_o make_v they_o action_n very_o fruitful_a and_o to_o good_a purpose_n but_o if_o they_o have_v signification_n in_o their_o intention_n than_o this_o signification_n be_v either_o true_a or_o false_a not_o any_o false_a as_o of_o christ_n to_o come_v which_o be_v their_o old_a and_o decay_a signification_n col._n 2._o unless_o they_o may_v have_v still_o a_o kind_n of_o lawful_a and_o yet_o untrue_a signification_n of_o christ_n to_o come_v in_o their_o mind_n which_o expect_v the_o messiah_n with_o a_o upright_o heart_n believe_v not_o as_o yet_o in_o the_o messiah_n come_v therefore_o they_o must_v have_v some_o true_a signification_n if_o any_o at_o all_o impose_v on_o they_o but_o this_o we_o read_v not_o therefore_o we_o can_v affirm_v as_o i_o suppose_v that_o they_o have_v any_o signification_n at_o all_o wherefore_o i_o marvel_v my_o brethren_n will_v give_v instance_n of_o the_o use_n of_o other_o sacrament_n such_o a_o trifle_n to_o play_v withal_o as_o know_v that_o in_o the_o apostle_n it_o may_v imply_v a_o absurdity_n in_o we_o a_o evident_a impiety_n but_o it_o will_v be_v demand_v i_o know_v that_o if_o i_o grant_v the_o ceremony_n of_o the_o apostle_n practice_v to_o be_v void_a of_o signification_n in_o their_o intention_n what_o then_o be_v this_o unto_o our_o ceremony_n which_o be_v ordain_v to_o teach_v spiritual_a duty_n by_o their_o mystical_a signification_n but_o my_o brethren_n shall_v remember_v that_o the_o question_n here_o be_v not_o of_o the_o lawfulness_n of_o impose_v signification_n on_o ceremony_n not_o of_o god_n ordain_v but_o of_o the_o lawfulness_n of_o the_o use_n of_o ceremony_n in_o a_o case_n of_o necessity_n on_o which_o signification_n signification_n be_v impose_v by_o other_o and_o thus_o these_o ceremony_n will_v accord_v to_o the_o point_n in_o question_n for_o see_v those_o ceremony_n have_v a_o signification_n of_o the_o superstitious_a and_o not_o well_o inform_v jew_n before_o who_o they_o be_v use_v by_o the_o apostle_n and_o for_o who_o sake_n some_o of_o they_o be_v enjoin_v to_o the_o gentile_n the_o question_n be_v whether_o a_o apostle_n in_o a_o case_n of_o superior_a reason_n as_o to_o redeem_v ministry_n may_v conform_v unto_o they_o or_o to_o the_o like_a in_o the_o like_a case_n lawful_o notwithstanding_o that_o inevitable_a scandal_n that_o he_o shall_v occasion_v unto_o the_o beholder_n namely_o to_o apprehend_v by_o they_o i_o say_v not_o a_o true_a signification_n in_o which_o respect_n our_o significative_a ceremony_n of_o the_o cross_n seem_v more_o tolerable_a but_o a_o false_a namely_o to_o signify_v to_o they_o christ_n to_o come_v which_o be_v already_o come_v and_o if_o he_o may_v lawful_o do_v this_o as_o it_o be_v evident_a he_o may_v then_o let_v my_o brethren_n tell_v i_o wherefore_o a_o minister_n of_o the_o gospel_n now_o may_v not_o lawful_o use_v such_o a_o ceremony_n which_o be_v no_o commandment_n of_o god_n be_v by_o other_o ordain_v and_o impose_v to_o teach_v spiritual_a thing_n by_o their_o mystical_a signification_n and_o not_o intentional_o or_o approve_o in_o the_o mind_n of_o the_o user_n as_o for_o that_o which_o be_v include_v in_o the_o three_o difference_n i_o must_v needs_o confess_v it_o have_v more_o weight_n than_o any_o thing_n i_o know_v allege_v against_o our_o ceremony_n if_o my_o brethren_n can_v sound_o prove_v that_o namely_o our_o ceremony_n be_v esteem_v impose_v and_o observe_v as_o part_n of_o god_n worship_n whereby_o first_o of_o all_o i_o doubt_v not_o but_o my_o brethren_n do_v mean_a essential_a part_n of_o
