be_v wary_a of_o make_v law_n for_o hereafter_o for_o there_o be_v few_o thing_n that_o be_v expedient_a but_o may_v sometime_o or_o other_o be_v lawful_a therefore_o what_o be_v expedient_a now_o to_o do_v beware_v how_o you_o make_v it_o a_o stand_a law_n to_o bind_v man_n to_o it_o nay_o in_o civil_a thing_n there_o be_v no_o law_n of_o the_o land_n in_o a_o extraordinary_a case_n but_o if_o they_o make_v it_o a_o ordinary_a rule_n a_o stand_a law_n it_o will_v be_v inconvenient_a so_o in_o spiritual_a thing_n about_o six_o score_n year_n ago_o in_o the_o reformation_n it_o be_v a_o great_a thing_n to_o come_v out_o so_o far_o as_o they_o do_v but_o the_o surplice_n and_o the_o cross_n and_o kneel_v at_o the_o sacrament_n stay_v still_o and_o the_o state_n man_n do_v well_o it_o be_v good_a that_o they_o do_v so_o much_o because_o they_o then_o can_v not_o have_v they_o all_o off_o mean_v in_o the_o next_o age_n when_o thing_n be_v settle_v to_o remove_v they_o but_o they_o make_v a_o law_n and_o it_o be_v a_o point_n of_o good_a policy_n yet_o when_o that_o law_n be_v make_v there_o arise_v another_o king_n that_o know_v not_o joseph_n another_o generation_n come_v and_o make_v the_o surplice_n and_o the_o cross_n the_o ruin_n of_o good_a people_n to_o drive_v they_o to_o new-england_n and_o to_o imprison_v they_o therefore_o it_o be_v good_a to_o be_v wary_a in_o make_v of_o stand_v law_n saint_n 5._o to_o beware_v how_o they_o impose_v thing_n on_o the_o conscience_n of_o the_o saint_n five_o magistrate_n &_o church_n must_v be_v wary_a how_o they_o

come_v to_o impose_v they_o as_o necessary_a as_o that_o the_o surplice_n signify_v innocency_n and_o the_o cross_a mortification_n when_o they_o impose_v they_o jure_fw-la divino_fw-la it_o be_v

in_o those_o thing_n a_o poor_a saint_n though_o they_o determine_v they_o yet_o if_o he_o have_v no_o measure_n of_o light_n he_o can_v in_o conscience_n do_v it_o but_o he_o be_v condemn_v by_o

light_a to_o do_v it_o now_o to_o go_v with_o fire_n and_o faggot_n with_o banishment_n and_o imprisonment_n as_o they_o do_v under_o episcopacy_n there_o be_v more_o rigour_n use_v for_o not_o wear_v the_o surplice_n than_o if_o a_o minister_n have_v be_v drink_v twenty_o time_n in_o a_o year_n they_o impose_v these_o thing_n with_o severity_n yet_o come_v to_o they_o and_o ask_v what_o good_a be_v in_o they_o the_o bishop_n will_v say_v they_o be_v but_o indifferent_a thing_n and_o yet_o they_o will_v punish_v the_o want_n of_o they_o more_o than_o the_o breach_n of_o the_o commandment_n of_o god_n therefore_o beware_v of_o that_o so_o to_o that_o objection_n that_o this_o will_v breed_v confusion_n if_o every_o man_n shall_v determine_v they_o you_o have_v four_o answer_n i_o will_v add_v one_o more_o and_o i_o shall_v go_v no_o far_o at_o this_o time_n and_o that_o be_v if_o you_o will_v avoid_v confusion_n herein_o and_o follow_v this_o truth_n you_o know_v i_o have_v show_v you_o certain_a rule_n by_o which_o you_o shall_v go_v to_o avoid_v confusion_n and_o they_o be_v as_o land_n mark_n or_o as_o booye_n in_o the_o water_n to_o guide_v you_o as_o for_o instance_n here_o be_v a_o thing_n that_o god_n have_v not_o determine_v then_o cast_v about_o be_v it_o decent_a be_v it_o convenient_a be_v it_o expedient_a do_v it_o do_v other_o or_o my_o self_n good_a or_o will_v it_o trouble_v my_o conscience_n and_o make_v religion_n evil_a speak_v of_o cast_v about_o by_o these_o rule_n and_o every_o one_o that_o have_v try_v they_o shall_v walk_v safe_o without_o danger_n therefore_o make_v use_n of_o those_o rule_n but_o it_o may_v be_v you_o will_v say_v those_o rule_n will_v not_o reach_v every_o case_n therefore_o i_o shall_v be_v at_o a_o stand_n therefore_o to_o they_o i_o will_v add_v three_o or_o four_o more_o and_o so_o conclude_v at_o this_o time_n you_o have_v have_v four_o already_o expediency_n that_o be_v one_o measure_n than_o decency_n and_o conveniency_n than_o commendableness_n or_o laudableness_n last_o orderlinesse_n saint_n 5._o rule_n example_n of_o the_o old_a saint_n and_o if_o those_o rule_n will_v not_o fit_a look_v on_o the_o example_n of_o the_o old_a saint_n in_o the_o book_n of_o god_n and_o put_v the_o case_n alike_o or_o else_o it_o be_v a_o dangerous_a rule_n you_o be_v not_o in_o all_o thing_n to_o follow_v the_o example_n of_o christ_n himself_o he_o do_v many_o thing_n that_o be_v not_o for_o your_o example_n though_o we_o may_v not_o make_v a_o absolute_a rule_n of_o every_o example_n yet_o they_o may_v be_v good_a pattern_n when_o the_o case_n be_v alike_o if_o we_o can_v judge_v whether_o this_o be_v expedient_a do_v as_o the_o saint_n of_o old_a do_v as_o for_o instance_n paul_n in_o act._n 20._o when_o he_o be_v take_v his_o leave_n of_o his_o friend_n he_o bow_v his_o knee_n and_o pray_v on_o the_o place_n and_o call_v on_o the_o lord_n as_o they_o part_v i_o think_v not_o that_o this_o be_v a_o absolute_a rule_n that_o the_o saint_n in_o all_o place_n be_v tie_v to_o that_o they_o sin_n without_o they_o pray_v when_o they_o part_v but_o if_o you_o have_v time_n and_o other_o circumstance_n than_o it_o be_v commendable_a and_o safe_a to_o follow_v his_o example_n so_o to_o gather_v money_n for_o the_o maintenance_n of_o the_o poor_a of_o the_o church_n it_o be_v a_o necessary_a duty_n that_o god_n require_v but_o when_o to_o do_v it_o or_o how_o put_v the_o case_n the_o same_o according_a as_o you_o have_v opportunity_n you_o shall_v do_v well_o to_o do_v it_o on_o the_o firstday_n of_o the_o week_n but_o it_o be_v not_o a_o absolute_a rule_n so_o if_o a_o strange_a that_o be_v a_o christian_a come_v to_o travel_v through_o the_o country_n paul_n bid_v bring_v they_o on_o their_o way_n i_o think_v not_o that_o a_o man_n absolute_o sin_n if_o he_o do_v not_o bring_v a_o stranger_n on_o his_o way_n but_o put_v the_o case_n alike_o and_o it_o be_v safe_a and_o commendable_a to_o follow_v the_o saint_n and_o so_o in_o a_o hundred_o thing_n and_o this_o will_v help_v you_o out_o when_o you_o have_v no_o other_o light_n church_n 6._o to_o look_v to_o the_o custom_n of_o the_o saint_n and_o church_n second_o let_v i_o add_v to_o this_o a_o strange_a rule_n you_o will_v think_v it_o so_o if_o i_o can_v make_v it_o out_o that_o be_v this_o you_o must_v take_v notice_n of_o the_o custom_n of_o the_o saint_n and_o of_o the_o church_n of_o god_n if_o you_o can_v find_v by_o example_n and_o judge_n what_o be_v convenient_a and_o expedient_a and_o honourable_a in_o the_o old_a saint_n go_v to_o the_o custom_n of_o the_o church_n and_o the_o saint_n that_o now_o be_v look_v what_o be_v the_o practice_n of_o the_o generation_n of_o the_o saint_n and_o when_o there_o be_v no_o other_o light_n that_o will_v help_v you_o custom_n in_o civil_a thing_n it_o be_v the_o strong_a law_n of_o england_n and_o in_o moral_a thing_n it_o be_v strong_a god_n say_v a_o blackmore_fw-la may_v be_v wash_v white_a soon_o than_o they_o that_o be_v accustom_v to_o do_v evil_a will_v leave_v it_o but_o in_o this_o in_o spiritual_a thing_n thing_n custom_n the_o weak_a rule_n in_o spiritual_a thing_n custom_n be_v the_o weak_a rule_n the_o custom_n of_o the_o church_n and_o of_o the_o saint_n be_v the_o dim_a light_n yet_o in_o many_o case_n we_o leave_v you_o to_o the_o custom_n of_o the_o church_n when_o there_o be_v no_o other_o light_n to_o go_v forward_o with_o and_o a_o saint_n he_o may_v guide_v and_o steer_v his_o course_n well_o by_o it_o therefore_o you_o shall_v see_v in_o psal_n 73._o david_n reason_n the_o case_n why_o be_o i_o whip_v every_o morning_n i_o have_v wash_v my_o hand_n in_o vain_a and_o it_o be_v in_o vain_a to_o

jerusalem_n it_o be_v not_o easy_a to_o break_v they_o of_o that_o custom_n therefore_o the_o lord_n christ_n come_v and_o when_o he_o will_v set_v up_o his_o worship_n he_o speak_v exceed_v fair_o of_o that_o outward_a worship_n because_o they_o have_v feed_v so_o long_o upon_o it_o that_o they_o dote_v as_o we_o at_o this_o day_n as_o they_o will_v make_v a_o curious_a outward_a worship_n as_o of_o old_a they_o wring_v and_o wrest_v the_o scripture_n to_o make_v it_o fair_a and_o delicate_a and_o curious_a as_o that_o that_o god_n will_v have_v of_o they_o but_o christ_n design_n be_v to_o set_v up_o a_o spiritual_a kingdom_n he_o show_v that_o as_o in_o the_o old_a testament_n unless_o there_o be_v something_o internal_a the_o external_a do_v not_o please_v god_n my_o soul_n abhor_v your_o sacrifice_n etc._n etc._n so_o in_o the_o new_a testament_n much_o more_o the_o lord_n do_v not_o regard_v outward_a worship_n at_o all_o without_o the_o inward_a and_o the_o inward_a be_v almost_o all_o that_o god_n look_v after_o therefore_o consider_v a_o few_o place_n of_o scripture_n gal._n 5.6_o there_o be_v great_a question_n about_o ceremony_n and_o outward_a thing_n say_v the_o apostle_n neither_o circumcision_n avail_v any_o thing_n or_o ununcircumcision_n but_o faith_n that_o work_v by_o love_n for_o in_o christ_n jesus_n say_v he_o that_o be_v in_o the_o day_n of_o christ_n in_o the_o new_a testament_n neither_o circumcision_n nor_o uncircumcision_n avail_v down_o external_o to_o be_v look_v to_o as_o for_o as_o god_n have_v let_v they_o down_o but_o faith_n that_o work_v by_o love_n talk_v not_o of_o outward_a thing_n stand_v not_o so_o much_o upon_o they_o not_o but_o that_o the_o servant_n of_o god_n must_v look_v to_o external_o as_o far_o as_o god_n have_v set_v they_o down_o but_o talk_v not_o so_o much_o of_o they_o but_o faith_n that_o work_v by_o love_n see_v there_o be_v that_o so_o in_o gal._n 6.15_o the_o same_o word_n almost_o for_o in_o christ_n jesus_n neither_o circumcision_n avail_v any_o thing_n or_o uncircumcision_n but_o a_o new_a creature_n in_o the_o time_n of_o christ_n he_o look_v not_o whether_o man_n be_v circumcise_v or_o uncircumcised_a but_o whether_o they_o be_v new_a creature_n so_o in_o 2_o cor._n 5.17_o there_o be_v the_o same_o word_n almost_o the_o apostle_n point_v out_o unto_o we_o how_o much_o god_n in_o the_o time_n of_o the_o new_a testament_n regard_v inward_a worship_n therefore_o we_o see_v in_o rom._n 14._o where_o there_o be_v great_a controversy_n concern_v the_o eat_n of_o herb_n and_o the_o keep_n of_o day_n paul_n answer_v not_o direct_o but_o say_v the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n be_v not_o in_o these_o thing_n but_o in_o righteousness_n and_o peace_n and_o joy_n in_o the_o holy_a ghost_n he_o will_v not_o have_v they_o strive_v about_o these_o thing_n but_o go_v to_o the_o inward_a worship_n see_v that_o there_o be_v righteousness_n and_o peace_n and_o joy_n in_o the_o holy_a ghost_n so_o in_o heb._n 13._o when_o there_o be_v clash_v about_o these_o outward_a thing_n it_o be_v a_o good_a thing_n say_v he_o that_o the_o heart_n be_v establish_v with_o grace_n and_o so_o in_o timothy_n bodily_a excercise_n profit_v little_a but_o godliness_n be_v profitable_a for_o all_o thing_n therefore_o the_o design_n of_o god_n be_v to_o set_v up_o a_o spiritual_a kingdom_n the_o work_n of_o grace_n in_o the_o heart_n that_o we_o may_v worship_v he_o in_o spirit_n the_o lord_n have_v give_v more_o liberty_n and_o be_v more_o spare_v in_o lay_v down_o of_o external_a worship_n last_o this_o be_v another_o reason_n tho_o i_o can_v give_v many_o more_o that_o the_o gospel_n of_o jesus_n christ_n be_v to_o be_v preach_v to_o all_o nation_n &_o they_o be_v different_a in_o custom_n in_o climate_n in_o constitution_n substance_n the_o gospel_n be_v to_o be_v preach_v to_o different_a nation_n christ_n tie_v they_o chief_o to_o that_o substance_n and_o disposition_n christ_n tie_v they_o in_o his_o law_n for_o the_o substance_n so_o leave_v the_o rest_n to_o be_v by_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n in_o his_o people_n to_o be_v determine_v according_a to_o the_o best_a advantage_n for_o the_o honour_n of_o god_n and_o the_o good_a of_o his_o people_n as_o for_o instance_n it_o be_v a_o hard_a thing_n to_o make_v a_o law_n for_o all_o england_n and_o for_o all_o the_o county_n and_o town_n that_o that_o shall_v be_v good_a for_o one_o county_n that_o be_v for_o another_o and_o for_o one_o town_n that_o be_v for_o another_o but_o if_o a_o man_n be_v to_o make_v a_o law_n for_o spain_n and_o france_n and_o italy_n and_o turkey_n &_o for_o all_o the_o world_n that_o be_v nation_n cross_v and_o contrary_a one_o to_o another_o in_o their_o climate_n and_o disposition_n that_o law_n that_o be_v good_a for_o one_o kingdom_n will_v destroy_v another_o so_o here_o when_o christ_n make_v law_n in_o the_o old_a testament_n there_o be_v but_o one_o nation_n and_o a_o little_a nation_n and_o the_o gospel_n be_v not_o to_o remove_v from_o that_o nation_n therefore_o he_o come_v to_o particular_n but_o the_o gospel_n now_o be_v to_o be_v preach_v to_o all_o nation_n he_o have_v leave_v a_o latitude_n for_o his_o people_n that_o they_o may_v apply_v the_o gospel_n to_o all_o country_n and_o nation_n for_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n and_o the_o good_a of_o his_o people_n as_o for_o instance_n baptism_n baptism_n say_v christ_n baptise_v all_o nation_n that_o be_v go_v and_o use_v water_n for_o their_o wash_n for_o whatever_o man_n find_v in_o the_o word_n i_o speak_v not_o of_o now_o go_v use_v water_n for_o a_o spiritual_a end_n to_o purge_v their_o body_n to_o signify_v the_o purge_n of_o the_o soul_n if_o christ_n have_v tie_v man_n to_o go_v into_o jordan_n as_o in_o that_o country_n it_o be_v so_o hot_a they_o may_v go_v with_o a_o great_a deal_n of_o comfort_n but_o if_o christ_n have_v make_v baptism_n such_o a_o ordinance_n as_o that_o in_o all_o climate_n and_o country_n and_o region_n they_o must_v go_v over_o head_n and_o ear_n in_o a_o river_n we_o know_v in_o some_o climate_n it_o will_v have_v be_v present_a death_n as_o with_o we_o in_o this_o climate_n at_o some_o time_n of_o the_o year_n to_o be_v put_v over_o head_n and_o ear_n in_o the_o thames_n it_o will_v be_v death_n at_o other_o not_z therefore_o christ_n lay_v down_o the_o substance_n and_o the_o end_n and_o by_o the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o sound_a preach_v he_o leave_v the_o rest_n for_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n in_o his_o people_n to_o apply_v again_o to_o instance_n in_o the_o supper_n of_o the_o lord_n supper_n the_o lord_n supper_n the_o lord_n take_v bread_n and_o wine_n and_o bless_v and_o break_v and_o give_v they_o and_o the_o drift_n of_o all_o the_o business_n be_v to_o show_v the_o break_n of_o his_o body_n and_o the_o shed_n of_o his_o blood_n now_o he_o have_v bind_v we_o that_o we_o shall_v break_v bread_n and_o drink_v wine_n that_o may_v represent_v the_o thing_n but_o he_o have_v not_o bind_v we_o to_o bread_n so_o proper_o call_v or_o to_o wine_n proper_o so_o call_v for_o there_o be_v some_o country_n that_o have_v neither_o bread_n nor_o wine_n but_o only_a root_n that_o they_o call_v bread_n and_o they_o have_v water_n for_o their_o drink_n now_o if_o christ_n have_v say_v it_o must_v be_v true_a bread_n and_o true_a and_o real_a wine_n that_o must_v do_v the_o deed_n these_o people_n can_v never_o have_v the_o supper_n of_o the_o lord_n therefore_o the_o gospel_n be_v not_o to_o be_v limit_v to_o one_o country_n but_o to_o be_v spread_v to_o many_o nation_n christ_n have_v leave_v a_o latitude_n for_o the_o conveniency_n of_o all_o nation_n so_o you_o have_v the_o doctrine_n and_o the_o
