A66381	The case of indifferent things used in the worship of God proposed and stated, by considering these questions : Qu. I. Whether things indifferent used in divine worship (or, whether there be any things indifferent in the worship of God?) : Qu. II. Whether a restraint of our liberty in the use of such indifferent things be a violation of it?	Williams, John, 1636?-1709.; Bagshaw, Edward, 1629-1671.	1683 (1683)	Wing W2689; ESTC R260	33,991	53

position_n can_v render_v thing_n not_o command_v to_o be_v unlawful_a and_o now_o i_o be_o come_v to_o that_o which_o must_v put_v a_o issue_n one_o way_n or_o other_o to_o the_o dispute_n for_o if_o there_o be_v no_o such_o position_n in_o scripture_n either_o express_v in_o it_o or_o to_o be_v gather_v by_o good_a consequence_n from_o it_o we_o have_v gain_v the_o point_n but_o if_o there_o be_v than_o we_o must_v give_v it_o up_o and_o this_o be_v indeed_o contend_v for_o for_o it_o be_v object_v i._o that_o it_o be_v account_v in_o scripture_n a_o heinous_a crime_n to_o do_v thing_n not_o command_v as_o when_o nadab_n and_o abihu_n offer_v strange_a fire_n before_o the_o lord_n etc._n which_o he_o command_v they_o not_o etc._n etc._n from_o which_o form_n of_o expression_n it_o may_v be_v collect_v that_o what_o be_v not_o command_v be_v forbid_v and_o that_o in_o every_o thing_n use_v in_o divine_a worship_n there_o must_v be_v a_o command_n to_o make_v it_o lawful_a and_o allowable_a to_o this_o i_o answer_v that_o the_o proposition_n infer_v i._n that_o all_o thing_n not_o command_v be_v forbid_v be_v not_o true_a and_o so_o it_o can_v be_v the_o sense_n and_o mean_v of_o the_o phrase_n for_o 1._o then_o all_o thing_n must_v be_v either_o command_v or_o forbid_v and_o there_o will_v be_v nothing_o but_o what_o must_v be_v command_v or_o forbid_v but_o i_o have_v before_o show_v and_o it_o must_v be_v grant_v that_o there_o be_v thing_n neither_o command_v nor_o forbid_v which_o be_v call_v indifferent_a 2._o if_o thing_n not_o command_v be_v forbid_v than_o a_o thing_n not_o command_v be_v alike_o heinous_a as_o a_o thing_n forbid_v and_o then_o david_n temple_n which_o he_o design_v to_o build_v will_v have_v be_v criminal_a as_o well_o as_o jeroboam_n dan_n and_o bethel_n and_o the_o feast_n of_o 27._o purim_n like_o jeroboam_n eight_o month_n 33._o and_o the_o synogogal_a worship_n like_o the_o sacrifice_a in_o garden_n 3._o and_o the_o hour_n of_o prayer_n 1._o like_o nadab_n strange_a fire_n the_o former_a of_o which_o be_v thing_n uncommand_v and_o the_o latter_a forbid_v and_o yet_o they_o be_v approve_v and_o these_o condemn_v 2._o the_o thing_n to_o which_o this_o phrase_n not_o command_v be_v apply_v do_v give_v no_o encouragement_n to_o such_o a_o inference_n from_o it_o for_o its_o constant_o apply_v to_o such_o as_o be_v absolute_o forbid_v this_o be_v the_o case_n of_o nadab_n and_o abihu_n who_o offer_v fire_n not_o mere_o uncommand_v but_o what_o be_v prohibit_v which_o will_v appear_v if_o we_o consider_v that_o the_o word_n strange_a when_o apply_v to_o matter_n of_o worship_n do_v signify_v as_o much_o as_o forbid_v thus_o we_o read_v of_o strange_a incense_n ●_o that_o be_v other_o than_o what_o be_v compound_v according_a to_o the_o direction_n give_v for_o it_o which_o as_o it_o be_v to_o be_v put_v to_o no_o common_a use_n 34._o so_o no_o common_a perfume_n be_v to_o be_v put_v to_o the_o like_a use_n with_o it_o 29._o so_o we_o also_o read_v of_o strange_a vanity_n 19_o which_o be_v but_o another_o word_n for_o graven_n image_n and_o of_o strange_a go_n and_o after_o the_o same_o sort_n be_v it_o to_o be_v understand_v in_o the_o case_n before_o we_o viz._n for_o what_o be_v forbid_v for_o that_o such_o be_v the_o fire_n make_v use_v of_o by_o those_o young_a man_n will_v be_v further_o confirm_v if_o we_o consider_v that_o there_o be_v scarce_o any_o thing_n belong_v to_o the_o altar_n set_v aside_o the_o structure_n of_o it_o of_o which_o more_o be_v say_v than_o of_o the_o fire_n burn_v upon_o it_o for_o 1._o it_o be_v light_v from_o heaven_n 24._o 2._o it_o be_v always_o to_o be_v burn_v upon_o the_o altar_n 12._o 3._o if_o it_o be_v not_o make_v use_n of_o in_o all_o sacred_a matter_n where_o fire_n be_v to_o be_v use_v yet_o it_o be_v most_o holy_a and_o when_o atonement_n be_v to_o be_v make_v by_o incense_n the_o coal_n be_v to_o be_v take_v from_o thence_o 46._o and_o therefore_o sure_o be_v as_o peculiar_a to_o those_o office_n as_o the_o incense_n and_o to_o be_v as_o constant_o use_v in_o they_o as_o never_o to_o be_v use_v in_o any_o other_o and_o it_o will_v yet_o make_v it_o more_o evident_a if_o it_o be_v consider_v 4._o that_o just_a before_o there_o be_v a_o account_n give_v of_o the_o extraordinary_a way_n by_o which_o this_o fire_n be_v light_v for_o the_o text_n say_v there_o come_v out_o a_o fire_n from_o before_o the_o lord_n 24._o and_o consume_v upon_o the_o altar_n the_o burnt-offering_a etc._n etc._n and_o immediate_o follow_v the_o relation_n of_o nadab_n miscarriage_n now_o for_o what_o reason_n be_v these_o thing_n so_o close_o connect_v but_o to_o show_v wherein_o they_o offend_v for_o before_o it_o be_v the_o office_n of_o aaron_n son_n to_o put_v fire_n upon_o the_o altar_n 7._o and_o now_o through_o inadvertency_n or_o presumption_n attempt_v to_o do_v as_o former_o when_o there_o have_v be_v this_o declaration_n from_o heaven_n to_o the_o contrary_a they_o suffer_v for_o it_o 5._o it_o appear_v further_a from_o the_o conformity_n betwixt_o the_o punishment_n and_o the_o sin_n as_o there_o come_v fire_n from_o before_o the_o lord_n and_o consume_v the_o burnt-offering_a to_o teach_v they_o what_o fire_n for_o the_o future_a to_o make_v use_n of_o so_o upon_o their_o transgression_n there_o come_v out_o fire_n from_o the_o lord_n and_o devour_v they_o to_o teach_v other_o how_o dangerous_a it_o be_v to_o do_v otherwise_o than_o he_o have_v command_v so_o that_o it_o seem_v to_o i_o to_o be_v like_o the_o case_n of_o vzzah_n when_o they_o carry_v the_o ark_n in_o a_o cart_n 10._o which_o the_o levite_n be_v to_o have_v bear_v upon_o their_o shoulder_n and_o it_o be_v not_o a_o offer_n without_o a_o command_n 2._o but_o otherwise_o than_o command_v that_o be_v their_o fault_n and_o without_o doubt_n they_o may_v with_o no_o more_o offence_n have_v take_v what_o fire_n they_o will_v for_o their_o incense_n than_o what_o wood_n they_o please_v for_o their_o fire_n if_o there_o have_v be_v no_o more_o direction_n about_o the_o one_o than_o the_o other_o but_o to_o proceed_v in_o the_o other_o place_n of_o scripture_n where_o this_o phrase_n of_o not_o command_v be_v to_o be_v meet_v with_o it_o be_v also_o so_o apply_v to_o thing_n forbid_v as_o to_o what_o be_v call_v abomination_n which_o be_v the_o worship_v of_o strange_a god_n 4._o the_o sun_n moon_n and_o star_n and_o the_o host_n of_o heaven_n 31._o to_o the_o build_n the_o high_a place_n of_o topheth_n 5._o and_o the_o burn_a their_o son_n and_o daughter_n in_o the_o fire_n to_o baal_n 35._o and_o cause_v they_o to_o pass_v through_o the_o fire_n unto_o molech_n of_o such_o and_o the_o like_o its_o say_a which_o i_o command_v they_o not_o neither_o come_v it_o into_o my_o mind_n and_o last_o it_o be_v apply_v to_o the_o false_a prophet_n 23._o who_o speak_v lie_n in_o the_o name_n of_o the_o lord_n in_o which_o case_n the_o mere_a being_n not_o command_v nor_o send_v by_o he_o be_v in_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o thing_n no_o less_o than_o a_o prohibition_n it_o be_v a_o belie_n god_n though_o there_o have_v be_v no_o such_o place_n as_o deut._n 18._o 20._o to_o forbid_v it_o now_o if_o so_o much_o stress_n be_v to_o be_v lay_v upon_o the_o phrase_n as_o the_o objection_n do_v suppose_v and_o that_o we_o must_v take_v a_o non-commanding_a for_o a_o prohibition_n we_o may_v reasonable_o expect_v to_o find_v the_o phrase_n otherwhere_o apply_v to_o thing_n that_o be_v no_o otherwise_o unlawful_a than_o because_o not_o command_v but_o when_o it_o be_v always_o speak_v of_o thing_n plain_o prohibit_v it_o be_v a_o sign_n that_o it_o be_v rather_o god_n forbid_v that_o make_v they_o unlawful_a than_o his_o not_o command_v but_o it_o may_v still_o be_v say_v why_o shall_v then_o the_o phrase_n be_v use_v at_o all_o in_o such_o matter_n and_o why_o shall_v the_o case_n be_v thus_o represent_v if_o not_o command_v be_v not_o the_o same_o with_o prohibit_v to_o this_o i_o answer_v 1._o that_o all_o thing_n prohibit_v be_v by_o consequence_n not_o command_v but_o it_o follow_v not_o that_o all_o thing_n not_o command_v be_v prohibit_v if_o it_o be_v forbid_v to_o offer_v strange_a fire_n than_o it_o be_v a_o thing_n not_o command_v for_o otherwise_o the_o same_o thing_n will_v be_v forbid_v and_o command_v but_o if_o it_o have_v be_v a_o thing_n not_o command_v only_o it_o will_v not_o by_o be_v so_o have_v be_v any_o more_o prohibit_v than_o the_o wood_n that_o be_v to_o be_v burn_v upon_o the_o altar_n now_o it_o be_v with_o respect_n to_o the_o former_a that_o thing_n prohibit_v
