you_o be_v mistake_v it_o be_v a_o great_a thing_n for_o if_o you_o look_v act._n 15._o the_o apostle_n and_o elder_n there_o say_v of_o the_o ceremony_n neither_o we_o nor_o our_o father_n be_v

be_v restrain_v to_o they_o they_o must_v worship_v in_o this_o place_n and_o not_o in_o another_o but_o now_o in_o the_o gospel_n we_o must_v lift_v up_o pure_a hand_n in_o every_o place_n and_o then_o for_o the_o time_n they_o have_v day_n and_o month_n and_o they_o have_v year_n of_o jubilee_n which_o be_v all_o go_v and_o for_o the_o very_a creature_n they_o must_v have_v such_o meat_n

that_o christ_n jesus_n have_v at_o once_o remove_v all_o these_o beggarly_a rudiment_n away_o so_o i_o say_v there_o be_v so_o much_o more_o room_n for_o you_o that_o unless_o popish_a mosaical_a

of_o god_n worship_n that_o there_o be_v a_o great_a liberty_n in_o respect_n of_o the_o external_o of_o god_n worship_n that_o be_v that_o god_n have_v not_o tie_v people_n in_o the_o new_a

with_o love_n and_o peace_n and_o charity_n as_o you_o may_v see_v clear_o testament_n punctual_a law_n in_o the_o old_a testament_n if_o you_o compare_v the_o one_o with_o the_o other_o the_o

there_o must_v be_v so_o many_o loop_n and_o so_o many_o pin_n and_o so_o many_o eyelet_n hole_n passeover_n passeover_n nay_o come_v to_o the_o passover_n you_o shall_v see_v the_o lord_n make_v they_o divers_a law_n as_o they_o must_v take_v a_o lamb_n of_o such_o a_o year_n &_o on_o such_o a_o day_n of_o the_o month_n and_o what_o kind_n of_o lamb_n it_o must_v be_v and_o he_o show_v they_o

what_o sauce_n they_o must_v have_v and_o how_o they_o shall_v roast_v it_o and_o what_o they_o must_v do_v with_o the_o rest_n of_o it_o the_o lord_n do_v punctual_o bind_v they_o and_o stint_v they_o in_o that_o &_o other_o thing_n the_o lord_n make_v all_o his_o law_n dear_a to_o they_o but_o in_o the_o new_a testament_n take_v the_o chief_a of_o the_o holy_a ordinance_n the_o supper_n of_o the_o lord_n we_o see_v christ_n when_o he_o be_v betray_v supper_n lord_n supper_n he_o take_v bread_n and_o wine_n say_v this_o be_v my_o body_n and_o this_o be_v my_o blood_n and_o there_o be_v a_o end_n you_o may_v ask_v five_o hundred_o question_n if_o you_o will_v what_o bread_n it_o be_v and_o what_o wine_n and_o how_o oft_o it_o be_v take_v by_o the_o disciple_n or_o administer_v but_o there_o you_o hear_v no_o further_o of_o it_o and_o so_o for_o baptism_n baptism_n baptism_n it_o be_v say_v john_n baptize_v in_o jordan_n as_o if_o it_o have_v be_v know_v before_o though_o it_o be_v never_o hear_v of_o and_o the_o disciple_n when_o they_o be_v to_o preach_v after_o the_o resurrection_n say_v christ_n go_v preach_v he_o that_o believe_v and_o be_v baptize_v shall_v be_v save_v go_v baptize_v they_o in_o the_o name_n of_o the_o father_n and_o of_o the_o son_n and_o of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o there_o be_v a_o end_n they_o may_v ask_v a_o hundred_o question_n shall_v we_o do_v it_o in_o a_o river_n or_o in_o a_o brook_n to_o young_a or_o to_o old_a in_o winter_n or_o in_o summer_n who_o shall_v do_v it_o and_o what_o shall_v his_o call_n be_v and_o many_o such_o question_n but_o christ_n lay_v down_o the_o sum_n of_o the_o doctrine_n and_o the_o end_n of_o it_o in_o the_o name_n of_o the_o father_n and_o of_o the_o son_n and_o of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o there_o be_v no_o more_o of_o it_o and_o so_o for_o office_n officer_n office_n and_o officer_n and_o officer_n in_o the_o new_a testament_n for_o office_n you_o have_v a_o light_n or_o two_o of_o pastor_n and_o preacher_n and_o deacon_n and_o two_o or_o three_o line_n of_o his_o duty_n and_o this_o be_v all_o a_o brief_a touch_n and_o there_o be_v a_o end_n now_o do_v you_o think_v that_o the_o son_n of_o god_n in_o the_o new_a and_o glorious_a testament_n will_v pass_v over_o these_o thing_n out_o of_o carelessness_n or_o do_v he_o slight_v it_o as_o if_o he_o care_v not_o how_o it_o be_v do_v may_v not_o he_o have_v make_v his_o supper_n as_o curious_a as_o the_o passeover_n and_o all_o those_o ordinance_n he_o may_v but_o to_o i_o there_o be_v many_o clear_a reason_n why_o he_o leave_v it_o so_o among_o the_o rest_n this_o be_v one_o that_o in_o the_o new_a testament_n the_o saint_n be_v not_o so_o strict_o and_o so_o strait_o bind_v as_o they_o of_o the_o old_a be_v but_o you_o will_v say_v liberty_n why_o christ_n have_v leave_v the_o saint_n now_o at_o more_o liberty_n how_o do_v it_o appear_v that_o it_o be_v so_o why_o do_v jesus_n christ_n leave_v it_o thus_o why_o do_v he_o not_o bind_v we_o hand_n and_o foot_n as_o they_o be_v there_o be_v these_o four_o or_o sive_z reason_n first_o this_o be_v one_o reason_n that_o the_o apostle_n have_v why_o christ_n give_v this_o liberty_n because_o they_o in_o the_o old_a testament_n be_v servant_n servant_n 1._o the_o saint_n under_o

as_o hard_o as_o to_o wash_v a_o blackmore_n white_a now_o this_o people_n be_v a_o custom_a four_o thousand_o year_n to_o serve_v god_n with_o offering_n and_o sacrifice_n and_o temple_n and_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

that_o be_v godly_a of_o the_o presbytery_n must_v reprove_v those_o man_n that_o be_v full_a of_o fire_n and_o faggot_n and_o nothing_o else_o rather_o reprove_v they_o then_o connive_v at_o they_o

for_o i_o but_o all_o thing_n be_v not_o exdient_a the_o last_o lesson_n from_o these_o word_n be_v this_o that_o a_o christian_a under_o the_o new-testament_n ought_v not_o only_o to_o eye_n what_o be_v lawful_a what_o be_v absolute_o command_v or_o forbid_v but_o to_o eye_n also_o what_o be_v expedient_a and_o what_o be_v inexpedient_a what_o be_v convenient_a and_o what_o be_v inconvenient_a what_o edify_v and_o what_o edify_v not_o we_o open_v this_o to_o you_o and_o come_v to_o a_o use_n where_o we_o be_v at_o this_o time_n to_o exhort_v you_o that_o this_o may_v sink_v into_o your_o heart_n to_o wit_n that_o you_o will_v not_o make_v law_n to_o yourselves_o in_o the_o new-testament_n where_o christ_n have_v not_o bind_v you_o and_o where_o christ_n have_v leave_v you_o free_a and_o have_v not_o determine_v thing_n second_o i_o exhort_v you_o that_o you_o will_v be_v careful_a and_o vigilant_a and_o wise_a to_o take_v notice_n in_o all_o thing_n what_o be_v expedient_a and_o to_o do_v the_o same_o and_o to_o press_v it_o on_o you_o we_o propose_v one_o motive_n to_o you_o which_o be_v the_o main_a drift_n of_o all_o the_o discourse_n we_o intend_v upon_o this_o scripture_n to_o wit_n that_o this_o be_v the_o ready_a way_n of_o peace_n and_o to_o end_v strife_n and_o contention_n among_o the_o saint_n now_o how_o that_o be_v i_o have_v open_v to_o you_o as_o i_o be_v able_a and_o so_o finish_v it_o this_o morning_n now_o to_o set_v it_o on_o a_o little_a more_o upon_o your_o soul_n not_o to_o repeat_v any_o thing_n there_o be_v two_o or_o three_o word_n more_o that_o may_v stir_v you_o up_o consider_v it_o for_o i_o know_v it_o be_v a_o harsh_a truth_n to_o many_o of_o your_o ear_n i_o fear_v you_o have_v many_o prejudices_fw-la against_o it_o but_o i_o beseech_v you_o consider_v it_o well_o it_o be_v of_o great_a consequence_n it_o be_v one_o of_o the_o master_n stone_n in_o your_o foundation_n i_o mean_v in_o your_o walk_n and_o conversation_n towards_o man_n at_o least_o i_o say_v therefore_o i_o will_v add_v certain_a motive_n more_o and_o as_o the_o first_o be_v the_o way_n to_o peace_n among_o the_o saint_n to_o end_v controversy_n that_o be_v among_o they_o self_n motive_n 2._o the_o way_n to_o peace_n in_o a_o man_n self_n so_o second_o it_o be_v a_o way_n to_o peace_n a_o way_n to_o end_v the_o controversy_n of_o a_o christian_a with_o himself_o for_o belove_v i_o dare_v say_v and_o i_o be_o able_a to_o make_v it_o good_a and_o have_v know_v it_o by_o experience_n in_o other_o saint_n that_o the_o most_o of_o your_o guilt_n and_o the_o most_o of_o your_o trouble_n that_o be_v within_o you_o christian_n most_o of_o the_o guilt_n on_o christian_n it_o arise_v not_o from_o do_v of_o thing_n simple_o sinful_a or_o neglect_v thing_n simple_o command_v but_o from_o some_o disorderly_a do_v of_o lawful_a thing_n and_o that_o be_v two_o way_n heart_n 1._o do_v lawful_a thing_n with_o common_a heart_n either_o that_o you_o do_v lawful_a thing_n as_o eat_v and_o drink_v and_o sleep_v and_o divers_a other_o thing_n with_o common_a heart_n and_o eye_v not_o god_n in_o the_o do_n of_o they_o you_o do_v they_o in_o a_o carnal_a fashion_n without_o holiness_n for_o we_o must_v be_v holy_a in_o all_o manner_n of_o conversation_n you_o be_v not_o holy_a when_o you_o be_v eat_v you_o have_v not_o a_o holy_a frame_n of_o soul_n when_o you_o be_v sleep_v therefore_o your_o sleep_n and_o your_o meat_n and_o such_o like_a thing_n they_o produce_v a_o world_n of_o guilt_n and_o trouble_v you_o do_v they_o with_o common_a heart_n as_o the_o pharisee_n say_v the_o disciple_n eat_v with_o common_a hand_n inexpedient_o 2._o do_v lawful_a thing_n inexpedient_o or_o else_o second_o it_o be_v from_o do_v lawful_a thing_n inexpedient_o you_o eye_v not_o what_o be_v expedient_a meat_n and_o drink_v and_o sleep_v and_o talk_v and_o walk_v and_o clothes_n and_o recreation_n they_o be_v lawful_a but_o in_o all_o these_o you_o look_v not_o what_o be_v expedient_a and_o i_o mean_v not_o only_o beloved_n those_o civil_a thing_n that_o i_o name_v to_o you_o but_o also_o in_o religious_a thing_n wherein_o god_n have_v not_o determine_v you_o make_v law_n to_o yourselves_o and_o then_o you_o fail_v in_o keep_v of_o those_o law_n as_o usual_o when_o god_n see_v man_n make_v law_n to_o themselves_o let_v they_o keep_v they_o themselves_o if_o they_o will_v it_o be_v just_a with_o god_n not_o to_o give_v power_n to_o keep_v law_n that_o be_v not_o of_o his_o own_o make_n make_v god_n will_v not_o give_v strength_n to_o keep_v law_n that_o he_o have_v not_o make_v god_n will_v not_o help_v you_o you_o make_v law_n i_o say_v and_o you_o have_v no_o strength_n to_o keep_v they_o and_o then_o there_o arise_v a_o world_n of_o guilt_n and_o trouble_v as_o thus_o god_n command_v we_o to_o pray_v always_o to_o be_v earnest_a in_o prayer_n to_o read_v the_o word_n to_o teach_v our_o child_n to_o help_v our_o neighbour_n to_o do_v good_a to_o their_o soul_n and_o body_n now_o you_o have_v make_v a_o law_n that_o you_o will_v pray_v in_o your_o family_n so_o oft_o and_o pray_v private_o so_o oft_o and_o read_v so_o many_o chapter_n a_o day_n and_o keep_v so_o many_o day_n of_o humiliation_n once_o a_o week_n or_o so_o here_o be_v a_o law_n of_o your_o own_o make_n i_o say_v not_o but_o it_o be_v expedient_a to_o do_v so_o sometime_o and_o many_o time_n but_o you_o make_v it_o a_o absolute_a law_n that_o when_o god_n come_v and_o call_v you_o to_o another_o thing_n contrary_a to_o your_o law_n whence_o trouble_v of_o conscience_n in_o christian_n whence_o than_o there_o be_v nothing_o but_o guilt_n and_o horror_n on_o your_o soul_n as_o for_o instance_n you_o make_v a_o law_n that_o you_o will_v pray_v twice_o before_o you_o go_v forth_o every_o morning_n private_o and_o in_o your_o family_n and_o it_o be_v a_o good_a course_n if_o thing_n be_v according_a because_o you_o be_v bind_v to_o pray_v always_o but_o you_o make_v a_o absolute_a law_n and_o there_o come_v another_o business_n of_o great_a weight_n you_o have_v pray_v once_o and_o

and_o preach_v the_o gospel_n to_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n and_o then_o you_o know_v the_o gospel_n tell_v we_o that_o he_o go_v up_o into_o heaven_n heaven_n 9_o ascend_v into_o heaven_n and_o
