two_o opinion_n concern_v the_o reformation_n of_o church_n for_o there_o be_v some_o of_o opinion_n that_o nothing_o at_o all_o shall_v be_v add_v to_o the_o simplicity_n of_o the_o apostolic_a church_n and_o therefore_o that_o without_o exception_n all_o thing_n be_v to_o be_v do_v by_o we_o which_o the_o apostle_n do_v and_o whatsoever_o the_o church_n that_o succeed_v next_o after_o the_o apostle_n have_v add_v to_o the_o former_a thing_n they_o think_v they_o must_v be_v abolish_v at_o once_o contrariwise_o there_o be_v other_o some_o which_o think_v that_o certain_a of_o the_o old_a ceremony_n overmore_o be_v partly_o to_o be_v hold_v still_o as_o profitable_a and_o necessary_a and_o partly_o to_o be_v bear_v withal_o for_o concord_n sake_n although_o they_o be_v not_o necessary_a as_o for_o my_o part_n i_o be_o out_o of_o doubt_n that_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o apostle_n be_v most_o perfect_a in_o all_o point_n and_o that_o it_o be_v not_o lawful_a for_o any_o man_n to_o take_v any_o thing_n from_o it_o o●to_o put_v any_o thing_n to_o it_o but_o as_o for_o their_o ceremony_n i_o judge_v a_o little_a otherwise_o of_o they_o for_o first_o of_o all_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o at_o the_o first_o spring_v up_o of_o church_n not_o even_o the_o apostle_n themselves_o be_v able_a to_o establish_v whatsoever_o they_o think_v expedient_a and_o therefore_o that_o they_o proceed_v step_n by_o step_n according_a as_o their_o ordain_v of_o deacon_n show_v in_o so_o much_o as_o they_o do_v suffer_v for_o a_o time_n even_o many_o jewish_a thing_n like_a as_o it_o appear_v in_o their_o story_n again_o who_o doub●eth_v but_o that_o the_o apostle_n have_v a_o singular_a regard_n of_o their_o own_o time_n and_o also_o of_o the_o place_n and_o person_n in_o outward_a ceremony_n in_o so_o much_o as_o it_o be_v no_o likelihood_n that_o the_o same_o ceremony_n be_v in_o all_o point_n observe_v in_o all_o place_n according_a as_o it_o appear_v well_o enough_o by_o the_o notable_a epistle_n of_o irene_n unto_o victor_n beside_o this_o even_o very_a necessity_n have_v abolish_v some_o tradition_n of_o they_o as_o those_o common_a refection_n wherefore_o i_o be_o of_o opinion_n that_o all_o that_o have_v be_v do_v by_o the_o apostle_n in_o case_n of_o ceremony_n be_v not_o by_o and_o by_o nor_o without_o exception_n to_o be_v follow_v for_o a_o rule_n neither_o do_v i_o marvel_v that_o those_o old_a father_n upon_o consideration_n have_v to_o their_o own_o time_n have_v abate_v some_o of_o those_o first_o thing_n or_o put_v somewhat_o to_o they_o and_o to_o conclude_v change_v some_o but_o even_o they_o themselves_o that_o i_o may_v speak_v with_o their_o leave_n plain_o what_o i_o think_v have_v not_o as_o i_o seem_v so_o good_a consideration_n of_o christian_a simplicity_n and_o pureness_n as_o be_v meet_v for_o first_o they_o ought_v to_o have_v consider_v that_o the_o abolish_n of_o the_o ceremony_n of_o moses_n by_o little_a and_o little_a be_v not_o to_o set_v they_o up_o again_o in_o time_n by_o another_o pretence_n and_o also_o that_o the_o heathenish_a ceremony_n be_v to_o be_v pluck_v up_o by_o the_o root_n so_o as_o there_o may_v not_o any_o print_n of_o heathnishnes_n remain_v to_o be_v see_v be_v it_o never_o so_o small_a according_a as_o moses_n advise_o charge_v the_o israelite_n at_o their_o enter_v into_o the_o land_n of_o chanaan_n and_o therefore_o i_o think_v they_o to_o have_v sin_v sore_o how_o be_v it_o not_o upon_o malice_n which_o have_v follow_v both_o the_o law_n of_o moses_n and_o also_o the_o manner_n of_o the_o heathen_a for_o a_o rule_n in_o ordain_v the_o ceremony_n of_o the_o church_n which_o thing_n how_o busy_o they_o have_v do_v i_o suppose_v there_o be_v no_o man_n ignorant_a again_o they_o ought_v to_o have_v consider_v this_o also_o that_o the_o abolish_n of_o the_o ceremony_n of_o the_o law_n be_v not_o to_o bring_v in_o another_o bondage_n of_o service_n upon_o it_o for_o that_o have_v not_o be_v a_o take_n away_o of_o the_o yoke_n of_o the_o law_n but_o a_o exchange_n of_o it_o but_o rather_o to_o the_o end_n that_o all_o man_n shall_v behold_v chryst_n exhibit_v from_o henceforth_o unclothe_v and_o walk_v in_o the_o clear_a light_n and_o nomore_o darken_v with_o any_o figure_n or_o shadow_n for_o according_a as_o austin_n complain_v very_o grievous_o of_o the_o same_o matter_n have_v right_o deem_v this_o same_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o our_o lord_n ordain_v both_o few_o that_o be_v to_o wit_n but_o two_o in_o stead_n of_o all_o the_o other_o former_a which_o be_v innumerable_a and_o also_o simple_a and_o evident_a sacrament_n of_o the_o new_a testament_n and_o therefore_o i_o say_v again_o that_o they_o sin_v

therefore_o at_o one_o word_n for_o all_o i_o be_o of_o opinion_n that_o whatsoever_o have_v be_v convert_v into_o the_o rite_n and_o custom_n of_o the_o chrystian_n either_o from_o the_o jew_n or_o

even_o of_o the_o ancient_a bishop_n for_o first_o of_o all_o as_o concern_v the_o ministration_n of_o the_o sacrament_n whereas_o all_o ●●at_a ever_o be_v do_v there_o have_v covert_a importance_n and_o it_o be_v no_o more_o lawful_a for_o man_n to_o ordain_v sacrament_n than_o to_o devise_v new_a promise_n of_o salvation_n and_o whereas_o christ_n the_o author_n both_o of_o the_o word_n and_o
