make_v by_o incense_n the_o coal_n be_v to_o be_v take_v from_o thence_o and_o therefore_o sure_o it_o be_v peculiar_a to_o those_o office_n nay_o just_a after_o the_o account_n of_o the_o

case_n seem_v like_o that_o of_o vzzah_n 1_o chron._n 13.7_o 10_o &_o 15.2_o for_o they_o act_v contrary_a to_o god_n command_n i_o may_v add_v that_o in_o other_o place_n also_o the_o phrase_n not_o

32.35_o so_o that_o since_o the_o phrase_n be_v always_o speak_v of_o thing_n plain_o forbid_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

that_o not_o command_v be_v only_o a_o soft_a way_n of_o speak_v which_o be_v usual_a in_o all_o language_n and_o frequent_o to_o be_v meet_v with_o in_o scripture_n thus_o god_n say_v that_o

abominable_a beside_o if_o not_o command_v be_v the_o same_o as_o forbid_v than_o the_o very_a notion_n of_o indifferent_a thing_n be_v destroy_v and_o there_o be_v no_o indifferent_a thing_n in_o the_o world_n because_o a_o thing_n indifferent_a be_v as_o i_o say_v before_o that_o which_o be_v neither_o command_v nor_o forbid_v but_o it_o be_v say_v that_o all_o thing_n not_o command_v in_o god_n word_n be_v addition_n to_o it_o and_o that_o such_o addition_n be_v unlawful_a because_o god_n say_v you_o shall_v not_o add_v unto_o the_o word_n which_o i_o command_v you_o neither_o shall_v you_o diminish_v aught_o from_o it_o deut._n 4.2_o and_o the_o scribe_n be_v condemn_v matth._n 15.9_o because_o they_o teach_v for_o doctrine_n the_o commandment_n of_o men._n now_o to_o this_o i_o reply_v that_o if_o by_o add_v to_o the_o word_n they_o mean_v do_v what_o the_o word_n forbid_v or_o appoint_v somewhat_o else_o instead_o of_o what_o god_n have_v appoint_v or_o expound_v away_o the_o design_n of_o the_o word_n or_o make_v that_o which_o be_v not_o the_o word_n of_o god_n to_o be_v of_o equal_a authority_n with_o it_o as_o the_o scribe_n do_v or_o give_v the_o same_o efficacy_n to_o human_a institution_n as_o god_n do_v to_o he_o if_o i_o say_v by_o add_v to_o the_o word_n they_o mean_v any_o of_o these_o thing_n we_o think_v that_o add_v to_o the_o word_n be_v unlawful_a and_o if_o by_o diminish_v they_o mean_v neglect_v what_o the_o word_n require_v or_o think_v god_n institution_n not_o complete_a we_o think_v that_o diminish_n from_o the_o word_n be_v unlawful_a but_o if_o they_o say_v that_o do_v any_o thing_n not_o command_v in_o the_o worship_n of_o god_n though_o it_o have_v none_o of_o the_o ingredient_n before_o speak_v of_o be_v a_o sinful_a add_v to_o the_o word_n we_o therein_o differ_v from_o they_o 1._o because_o christ_n and_o his_o apostle_n and_o all_o church_n have_v do_v thing_n not_o command_v 2._o because_o this_o destroy_v the_o nature_n of_o indifferent_a thing_n which_o can_v be_v indifferent_a if_o they_o be_v sinful_a addition_n to_o god_n word_n beside_o add_v be_v add_v to_o the_o substance_n and_o diminish_v be_v diminish_v from_o the_o substance_n so_o that_o when_o the_o substance_n remain_v entire_a without_o debasement_n or_o corruption_n it_o can_v be_v call_v a_o addition_n or_o diminution_n in_o the_o scripture-sence_n however_o our_o adversary_n themselves_o be_v real_o guilty_a of_o what_o they_o charge_v upon_o we_o for_o they_o forbid_v as_o absolute_o unlawful_a to_o use_v any_o thing_n in_o the_o worship_n of_o god_n which_o be_v not_o prescribe_v and_o certain_o he_o that_o forbid_v what_o the_o scripture_n do_v not_o forbid_v do_v as_o much_o add_v to_o it_o as_o he_o that_o command_v what_o the_o gospel_n do_v not_o command_v as_o for_o the_o word_n of_o the_o 2d_o commandment_n thou_o shall_v not_o make_v unto_o thou_o any_o grave_a image_n etc._n etc._n they_o do_v by_o no_o mean_n prove_v that_o we_o must_v worship_v god_n by_o no_o other_o religious_a rite_n than_o what_o he_o have_v prescribe_v it_o be_v true_a we_o be_v there_o command_v to_o worship_v none_o beside_o

image_n be_v express_o forbid_v and_o ceremony_n be_v not_o 2._o that_o image_n tend_v to_o debase_v god_n in_o the_o thought_n of_o those_o that_o worship_v he_o after_o that_o manner_n but_o ceremony_n do_v not_o and_o therefore_o ceremony_n be_v not_o a_o breach_n of_o the_o 2d_o commandment_n ceremony_n be_v not_o essential_a part_n of_o divine_a worship_n but_o only_a circumstance_n of_o it_o and_o certain_o our_o brethren_n can_v find_v fault_n that_o such_o circumstance_n be_v use_v to_o further_a devotion_n for_o they_o themselves_o do_v plead_v for_o sit_v at_o the_o lord_n supper_n etc._n etc._n upon_o this_o very_a account_n because_o they_o think_v such_o external_a circumstance_n do_v further_a devotion_n but_o say_v they_o if_o there_o be_v not_o a_o rule_n for_o all_o thing_n belong_v to_o the_o worship_n of_o god_n the_o gospel_n will_v be_v less_o perfect_a than_o the_o law_n and_o christ_n will_v not_o be_v so_o faithful_a in_o the_o care_n of_o his_o church_n as_o moses_n who_o be_v faithful_a in_o all_o his_o house_n heb._n 3.2_o therefore_o as_o moses_n lay_v down_o all_o the_o particular_a rule_n for_o god_n worship_n under_o the_o law_n so_o have_v christ_n under_o the_o gospel_n and_o it_o be_v as_o dangerous_a to_o add_v as_o to_o detract_v from_o they_o now_o to_o this_o i_o answer_v that_o the_o design_n of_o the_o epistle_n to_o the_o hebrew_n be_v to_o compare_v moses_n and_o christ_n or_o the_o law_n and_o the_o gospel_n and_o to_o show_v the_o exact_a correspondence_n between_o the_o type_n and_o the_o antitype_n and_o not_o to_o show_v that_o our_o saviour_n have_v as_o particular_o prescribe_v the_o order_n of_o christian_a worship_n as_o moses_n have_v that_o of_o the_o jewish_a the_o gospel_n be_v not_o so_o particular_a in_o the_o circumstantial_o of_o worship_n as_o the_o law_n be_v and_o we_o must_v not_o affirm_v that_o it_o be_v because_o we_o will_v have_v it_o so_o we_o can_v prove_v that_o christ_n have_v actual_o do_v this_o because_o we_o imagine_v that_o he_o shall_v have_v do_v it_o we_o may_v better_o argue_v that_o since_o these_o thing_n be_v not_o express_o determine_v under_o the_o gospel_n as_o they_o be_v under_o the_o law_n therefore_o they_o be_v leave_v to_o the_o determination_n of_o our_o superior_n who_o we_o be_v command_v to_o obey_v nor_o be_v the_o sufficiency_n of_o scripture_n and_o faithfulness_n of_o christ_n to_o be_v judge_v of_o by_o what_o we_o fancy_v they_o shall_v have_v determine_v but_o by_o what_o they_o have_v since_o we_o do_v not_o find_v in_o the_o scripture_n such_o particular_a prescription_n in_o baptism_n as_o in_o circumcision_n nor_o in_o the_o lord_n supper_n as_o in_o the_o passover_n nor_o in_o our_o prayer_n as_o in_o the_o jewish_a sacrifice_n therefore_o it_o be_v plain_a that_o the_o sufficiency_n of_o scripture_n and_o faithfulness_n of_o christ_n do_v respect_n somewhat_o else_o and_o that_o they_o be_v not_o the_o less_o for_o want_v of_o they_o christ_n be_v faithful_a as_o moses_n to_o he_o that_o
