pomp_n and_o empty_a show_n and_o whereas_o christian_n be_v command_v by_o the_o apostle_n to_o serve_v the_o lord_n in_o spirit_n and_o truth_n she_o have_v make_v void_a this_o precept_n and_o

if_o god_n and_o the_o pope_n command_v be_v but_o all_o one_o and_o have_v heaven_n and_o hell_n equal_o at_o their_o disposure_n his_o church_n have_v appoint_v a_o great_a number_n and_o variety_n

order_v by_o they_o be_v not_o express_v in_o scripture_n it_o be_v a_o sufficient_a ground_n for_o this_o their_o submission_n and_o obedience_n that_o god_n have_v give_v they_o a_o general_n command_n obey_v they_o that_o have_v the_o rule_n over_o you_o and_o submit_v yourselves_o for_o they_o watch_v for_o your_o soul_n as_o they_o that_o must_v give_v account_n heb._n 13._o 17._o

very_a fallacious_a rule_n lead_v to_o all_o confusion_n and_o unchristian_a contention_n viz._n that_o the_o high_a power_n our_o superior_n pastor_n and_o prelate_n be_v not_o to_o be_v obey_v but_o only_o in_o such_o thing_n as_o be_v express_v in_o scripture_n and_o as_o for_o any_o other_o particular_n whosoever_o upon_o examination_n can_v find_v what_o be_v command_v by_o they_o in_o holy_a

certain_o it_o be_v whole_o destructive_a to_o it_o and_o under_o pretence_n of_o adhere_v close_o to_o the_o scripture_n undermine_v the_o very_a author_n of_o it_o this_o the_o primitive_a christian_n understand_v so_o well_o that_o they_o detest_v all_o such_o maxim_n and_o follow_v the_o advice_n of_o the_o apostle_n choose_v rather_o to_o trust_v their_o soul_n in_o the_o hand_n of_o those_o who_o god_n have_v place_v over_o they_o by_o a_o humble_a submission_n to_o the_o government_n and_o a_o peaceable_a obedience_n to_o their_o decree_n than_o by_o a_o presumptuous_a question_n of_o every_o thing_n and_o raise_v vain_a dispute_n to_o take_v the_o rule_n of_o the_o flock_n out_o of_o the_o hand_n of_o those_o to_o who_o god_n have_v providential_o deliver_v it_o and_o place_n themselves_o judge_n over_o the_o church_n their_o elder_n prelate_n and_o pastor_n who_o god_n have_v command_v they_o to_o hear_v and_o be_v in_o subjection_n to_o so_o that_o we_o never_o read_v that_o they_o ever_o pretend_v to_o weigh_v the_o ordinance_n of_o their_o superior_n by_o their_o own_o reason_n or_o to_o bring_v they_o to_o the_o test_n of_o the_o word_n of_o god_n before_o the_o acceptance_n but_o always_o judge_v it_o conform_v to_o the_o word_n of_o god_n that_o their_o governor_n shall_v rule_v and_o they_o obey_v thus_o when_o the_o apostle_n observe_v the_o sunday_n instead_o of_o the_o sabbath_n and_o meet_v together_o at_o pentecast_n we_o do_v read_v that_o the_o faithful_a then_o begin_v to_o turn_v over_o their_o bibles_n to_o find_v a_o command_n for_o these_o particular_n but_o with_o a_o prompt_a obedience_n ready_o follow_v they_o in_o the_o observance_n so_o when_o abstinence_n from_o blood_n and_o strangle_v meat_n be_v order_v by_o the_o elder_n assemble_v at_o jerusalem_n act_n 15._o the_o multitude_n of_o believer_n have_v hear_v the_o decree_n never_o murmur_v at_o it_o or_o call_v it_o into_o question_n however_o seem_o contrary_a to_o the_o intention_n of_o christ_n who_o in_o abrogate_a the_o law_n of_o moses_n be_v think_v to_o have_v cut_v off_o all_o these_o obligation_n but_o they_o all_o rejoice_v for_o the_o

prescribe_v in_o these_o particular_n or_o by_o what_o they_o be_v oblige_v to_o receive_v his_o prescription_n but_o with_o a_o prompt_a submission_n accept_v his_o order_n not_o doubt_v but_o since_o it_o be_v god_n will_n to_o place_n ruler_n and_o governor_n over_o they_o it_o must_v be_v god_n will_n that_o they_o shall_v be_v obedient_a to_o they_o in_o follow_v their_o decree_n and_o observe_v their_o constitution_n and_o with_o this_o doctrine_n of_o obedience_n humility_n and_o submission_n all_o the_o primitive_a christian_n be_v train_v up_o by_o the_o apostle_n who_o
