of_o man_n q._n 2._o whether_o it_o be_v unlawful_a to_o use_v any_o thing_n in_o the_o worship_n of_o god_n that_o be_v appoint_v for_o the_o signification_n of_o spiritual_a duty_n by_o the_o will_n of_o man_n by_o the_o first_o it_o be_v unlawful_a for_o man_n to_o appropriate_a place_n or_o time_n or_o posture_n to_o the_o worship_n of_o god_n and_o so_o it_o be_v necessary_a to_o avoid_v

any_o thing_n that_o have_v such_o a_o signification_n apply_v to_o it_o be_v make_v unlawful_a by_o virtue_n of_o such_o signification_n and_o which_o without_o such_o signification_n will_v have_v be_v lawful_a so_o a_o surplice_n will_v have_v be_v a_o lawful_a garment_n if_o not_o appropriate_v and_o without_o signification_n and_o may_v have_v be_v in_o its_o self_n wear_v as_o well_o as_o a_o cloak_n since_o custom_n and_o use_v only_o make_v the_o difference_n but_o appropriate_a it_o and_o clap_v a_o signification_n upon_o it_o it_o be_v unlawful_a and_o so_o a_o cloak_n may_v be_v turn_v out_o of_o service_n by_o the_o same_o way_n so_o it_o be_v in_o posture_n kneel_v and_o stand_v be_v indifferent_a but_o once_o appropriate_v kneel_v to_o prayer_n and_o make_v it_o
