in_o walachria_n as_o becholitus_n do_v at_o monaster_n yet_o at_o least_o in_o out_o confederate_a province_n he_o must_v have_v two_o separate_a form_n of_o government_n whereof_o the_o one_o must_v be_v independent_a from_o the_o other_o yea_o repugnant_a in_o contrary_a law_n that_o these_o thing_n be_v intend_v by_o our_o new_a papist_n under_o their_o spiritual_a liberty_n of_o the_o legislative_a power_n be_v most_o apparent_a as_o i_o have_v show_v already_o second_o it_o be_v not_o enough_o to_o adhere_v to_o the_o scripture_n in_o ordain_v new_a ceremony_n of_o divine_a worship_n but_o the_o church_n must_v now_o take_v heed_n that_o she_o be_v not_o too_o liberal_a in_o invent_v of_o such_o for_o as_o man_n natural_o grow_v proud_a by_o greatness_n of_o spirit_n so_o of_o mean_a &_o deject_a spirit_n ariseth_z superstition_n &_o then_o will-worship_n and_o if_o we_o be_v not_o wary_a at_o last_o idolatry_n for_o seldom_o here_o be_v there_o a_o mean_v keep_v but_o man_n go_v from_o one_o degree_n to_o another_o which_o paul_n show_v in_o the_o false_a apostle_n who_o go_v about_o to_o betray_v the_o colossian_n liberty_n they_o first_o enjoin_v they_o not_o to_o eat_v then_o high_a taste_v not_o last_o touch_v not_o for_o it_o be_v more_o strictness_n to_o abstain_v from_o touch_v then_o from_o taste_v and_o again_o from_o taste_v then_o from_o eat_v so_o we_o see_v in_o popery_n that_o of_o small_a beginning_n and_o those_o not_o evil_a have_v arisen_a ceremony_n which_o still_o increase_v be_v become_v a_o yoke_n more_o heavy_a than_o that_o of_o the_o jew_n if_o the_o walachrian_a classis_fw-la do_v not_o earnest_o desire_v this_o they_o will_v not_o be_v so_o hot_a in_o urge_v a_o sacred_a and_o spiritual_a liberty_n to_o prescribe_v law_n to_o the_o church_n the_o three_o thing_n that_o i_o will_v have_v to_o be_v observe_v be_v that_o law_n be_v not_o too_o rigorous_a for_o they_o be_v only_o of_o thing_n indifferent_a which_o proper_o concern_v not_o religion_n but_o order_n only_o &_o changeable_a circumstance_n which_o to_o urge_v with_o such_o imperiousness_n be_v not_o the_o part_n of_o a_o father_n but_o of_o a_o tyrant_n a_o example_n of_o great_a moderation_n can_v be_v have_v then_o that_o which_o be_v extant_a in_o the_o apostolical_a church_n for_o when_o they_o be_v all_o assemble_v at_o jerusalem_n to_o deliberate_v about_o the_o peace_n and_o law_n of_o the_o church_n although_o they_o have_v full_a power_n 15._o act_n 15._o yet_o they_o use_v so_o little_a rigour_n and_o authority_n that_o they_o determine_v or_o ordain_v nothing_o but_o by_o the_o consent_n and_o decree_n of_o the_o whole_a body_n of_o the_o church_n and_o they_o use_v such_o moderation_n in_o give_v law_n to_o the_o syrian_a church_n that_o they_o do_v as_o it_o be_v by_o a_o entreat_v way_n recommend_v they_o and_o leave_v in_o a_o manner_n freedom_n to_o every_o church_n to_o observe_v and_o to_o abrogate_v they_o when_o they_o become_v needless_a as_o i_o will_v show_v in_o that_o which_o follow_v he_o that_o see_v paul_n ordain_v rite_n and_o ceremony_n will_v easy_o observe_v that_o he_o be_v careful_a of_o nothing_o more_o then_o that_o the_o conscience_n of_o christian_n may_v not_o be_v oppress_v with_o the_o yoke_n of_o law_n for_o thus_o he_o say_v this_o i_o say_v not_o the_o lord_n of_o this_o i_o have_v no_o precept_n this_o i_o say_v to_o you_o not_o by_o way_n of_o command_n but_o of_o counsel_n judge_v you_o if_o it_o be_v decent_a so_o at_o last_o he_o conclude_v that_o nothing_o be_v more_o averse_a from_o his_o custom_n or_o the_o custom_n of_o apostolical_a church_n then_o to_o strive_v eager_o or_o too_o imperious_o in_o command_a rite_n or_o ceremony_n as_o even_o then_o presage_v the_o dominter_v pride_n of_o churchman_n which_o he_o will_v shake_v off_o and_o teach_v christian_n moderation_n in_o the_o observation_n of_o thing_n indifferent_a so_o that_o it_o be_v to_o be_v admire_v how_o man_n perverse_a heat_n of_o rule_v can_v be_v curb_v by_o his_o example_n and_o admonition_n so_o as_o not_o only_o mean_a man_n but_o some_o of_o great_a worth_n have_v be_v carry_v headlong_o with_o too_o much_o heat_n a_o notable_a example_n of_o this_o we_o may_v see_v in_o hooper_n bishop_n of_o gloucester_n record_v by_o
