A93747	The necessity of keeping still unto the ordinances of religion, prayer, hearing the word, baptism, and the Lord's Supper set forth in a sermon preached in the countrey, on Acts VI.4. : wherein is also laid open, and manifested the errour of those people (commonly call'd Quakers) who do neglect the two latter.	Stafford, Richard, 1663-1703.	1698 (1698)	Wing S5126; ESTC R202451	24,791	32

word_n the_o meaning_n seem_v to_o be_v to_o this_o purpose_n and_o effect_n that_o be_v there_o be_v nothing_o or_o no_o great_a matter_n whither_o the_o foreskin_n of_o one_o flesh_n be_v cut_v off_o or_o not_o there_o be_v no_o great_a good_a or_o evil_a in_o the_o thing_n abstract_o whether_o it_o be_v do_v or_o not_o do_v so_o it_o will_v have_v be_v if_o god_n have_v give_v no_o commandment_n at_o all_o concern_v it_o but_o god_n have_v superad_v and_o annex_v a_o commandment_n concern_v it_o the_o soul_n that_o be_v not_o circumcise_a shall_v be_v cut_v off_o from_o his_o people_n here_o it_o ought_v to_o be_v observe_v and_o do_v by_o the_o jew_n as_o long_o as_o that_o dispensation_n do_v remain_v among_o they_o not_o so_o much_o for_o the_o thing_n itself_o but_o to_o fulfil_v all_o righteousness_n and_o therein_o to_o keep_v the_o commandment_n of_o god_n which_o same_o commandment_n be_v now_o do_v away_o and_o abolish_v in_o christ_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v become_v indifferent_a under_o the_o gospel_n as_o appear_v by_o the_o forego_n verse_n and_o from_o the_o practice_n of_o paul_n who_o although_o he_o be_v not_o for_o bring_v they_o back_o again_o to_o bondage_n and_o to_o jewish_a observance_n yet_o to_o please_v the_o jew_n as_o also_o to_o bring_v over_o more_o jewish_a convert_v who_o do_v retain_v a_o tincture_n of_o and_o zeal_n for_o the_o moysaicall_a institution_n do_v circumcise_v timothy_n but_o will_v not_o do_v so_o as_o to_o the_o gentile_n which_o shall_v receive_v the_o faith_n now_o the_o reason_n be_v alike_o and_o eternal_o the_o same_o as_o to_o those_o two_o ordinance_n of_o christ_n baptism_n and_o the_o lord_n supper_n as_o to_o sprinkle_n or_o dip_v in_o water_n and_o in_o eat_v and_o drink_v a_o little_a bread_n and_o wine_n there_o be_v nothing_o or_o no_o great_a matter_n in_o they_o take_v abstract_o the_o reason_n of_o man_n be_v apt_a to_o despise_v they_o because_o it_o present_o see_v no_o intrinsic_a goodness_n in_o use_v they_o and_o no_o evil_a in_o let_v they_o alone_o and_o so_o far_o it_o will_v have_v be_v true_a if_o christ_n have_v give_v no_o commandment_n concern_v they_o but_o christ_n and_o his_o apostle_n have_v give_v commandment_n for_o the_o once_o observance_n of_o the_o one_o and_o the_o often_o observance_n of_o the_o other_o they_o ought_v according_o to_o be_v so_o observe_v by_o his_o disciple_n and_o follower_n to_o fulfil_v all_o gospel_n righteousness_n and_o out_o of_o obedience_n unto_o and_o for_o keep_v the_o commandment_n of_o christ_n moses_n therefore_o give_v unto_o you_o circumcision_n not_o because_o it_o be_v of_o moses_n but_o of_o the_o father_n and_o you_o on_o the_o sabbath_n day_n circumcise_v a_o man_n that_o the_o law_n of_o moses_n shall_v not_o be_v break_v john_n 7._o 22_o 23._o this_o be_v plain_a and_o obvious_a enough_o and_o accordin_o they_o have_v be_v retain_v all_o along_o down_o in_o the_o christian_a yea_o and_o the_o reform_a church_n though_o we_o can_v here_o present_o assign_v how_o baptism_n and_o the_o lord_n supper_n be_v mean_n of_o grace_n as_o preach_v the_o word_n and_o prayer_n manifest_o and_o sensible_o be_v for_o we_o know_v feel_o and_o experimental_o that_o preach_v the_o word_n and_o prayer_n be_v as_o two_o conduit_n pipe_n through_o which_o good_a and_o perfect_a gift_n do_v come_v down_o from_o above_o from_o the_o father_n of_o light_n into_o our_o soul_n and_o we_o very_o well_o conceive_v how_o these_o help_n to_o make_v a_o people_n prepare_v for_o the_o lord_n but_o we_o can_v altogether_o give_v so_o clear_a a_o account_n concern_v baptism_n and_o the_o lord_n supper_n how_o they_o do_v this_o although_o here_o we_o can_v somewhat_o apprehend_v as_o to_o the_o thing_n signify_v by_o they_o which_o have_v be_v aforementioned_a nevertheless_o because_o christ_n have_v command_v and_o institute_v they_o in_o his_o gospel_n it_o be_v not_o only_o the_o safe_a way_n to_o use_v they_o but_o i_o will_v go_v on_o to_o add_v there_o can_v be_v no_o sasety_n in_o neglect_v they_o or_o in_o the_o omission_n of_o they_o because_o of_o what_o himself_o say_v whosoever_o shall_v break_v one_o of_o these_o least_o commandment_n and_o teach_v man_n so_o he_o shall_v be_v call_v the_o least_o in_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n mat._n 5._o 19_o which_o there_o signify_v the_o dispensation_n of_o his_o gospel_n for_o we_o be_v not_o sure_a that_o such_o will_v ever_o be_v admit_v into_o his_o kingdom_n above_o at_o the_o end_n of_o time_n have_v aforementioned_a what_o ground_n we_o have_v for_o the_o same_o in_o the_o scripture_n of_o truth_n and_o therefore_o these_o thing_n keep_v still_o unto_o the_o ordinance_n of_o religion_n we_o teach_v and_o affirm_v constant_o we_o read_v in_o isa_n 58._o 2._o of_o the_o ordinance_n of_o justice_n but_o in_o our_o present_a and_o intend_a discourse_n we_o wave_v and_o let_v alone_o all_o that_o it_o be_v not_o altogether_o so_o pertinent_a to_o the_o matter_n in_o hand_n which_o be_v the_o keep_n constant_o unto_o the_o ordinance_n of_o worship_n for_o it_o be_v a_o great_a gospel_n command_n worship_n god_n rev._n 22._o 9_o and_o to_o allude_v unto_o heb._n 9_o 1._o this_o second_o covenant_n have_v ordinance_n of_o divine_a service_n and_o a_o spiritual_a or_o heavenly_a sanctuary_n which_o may_v be_v perform_v in_o a_o true_a and_o right_a manner_n so_o that_o it_o be_v meet_v requisite_a and_o necessary_a that_o the_o child_n of_o thy_o servant_n shall_v continue_v

manner_n or_o circumstantial_o of_o his_o worship_n or_o of_o those_o positive_a ordinance_n as_o whither_o baptism_n shall_v be_v observe_v in_o infancy_n or_o riper_n year_n with_o dip_v or_o sprinkle_v with_o the_o sign_n of_o the_o cross_n or_o without_o it_o and_o of_o the_o lord_n supper_n whither_o it_o shall_v be_v receive_v sit_v standing_z or_o kneel_v or_o whither_o in_o the_o morning_n or_o afternoon_n although_o these_o be_v somewhat_o apt_a to_o perplex_v and_o trouble_v the_o mind_n of_o christian_n and_o be_v the_o occasion_n of_o different_a and_o distinct_a congregation_n yet_o we_o shall_v in_o no_o wise_a so_o far_o stumble_v as_o to_o surcease_v the_o use_n of_o they_o at_o all_o god_n forbid_v by_o the_o way_n though_o we_o ought_v to_o assert_v the_o truth_n and_o confute_v error_n yet_o it_o be_v no_o christianity_n to_o reproach_n or_o malign_v any_o sect_n or_o party_n for_o the_o servant_n of_o the_o lord_n must_v not_o strive_v but_o be_v gentle_a unto_o all_o man_n in_o meekness_n instruct_v those_o that_o oppose_v themselves_o if_o peradventure_o god_n will_v give_v they_o repentance_n to_o the_o acknowledgement_n of_o the_o truth_n the_o much_o great_a part_n of_o those_o church_n which_o be_v reform_v from_o the_o idolatry_n and_o superstition_n of_o rome_n both_o in_o these_o and_o also_o in_o foreign_a country_n do_v all_o unanimous_o agree_v that_o these_o ordinance_n ought_v by_o all_o mean_n to_o be_v retain_v and_o that_o the_o neglect_n or_o omission_n of_o they_o be_v sin_n certain_a it_o be_v that_o the_o best_a and_o wise_a way_n for_o every_o one_o be_v to_o keep_v unto_o and_o observe_v they_o as_o near_o according_a to_o the_o rule_n and_o direction_n of_o scripture_n as_o ever_o they_o can_v and_o abstract_v from_o all_o will_v worship_n and_o institution_n or_o precept_n of_o man._n i_o be_o now_o go_v to_o speak_v after_o my_o judgement_n and_o by_o permission_n and_o not_o of_o commandment_n and_o therefore_o you_o may_v weigh_v in_o your_o mind_n but_o not_o rely_v on_o this_o affirmation_n or_o rather_o opinion_n viz._n that_o as_o the_o early_a dew_n which_o go_v away_o be_v better_a than_o no_o dew_n at_o all_o so_o the_o observance_n of_o the_o ordinance_n any_o of_o the_o way_n aforementioned_a seem_v according_a to_o my_o sentiment_n of_o thing_n to_o be_v better_a and_o safe_a than_o the_o not_o observance_n of_o they_o at_o all_o because_o there_o be_v a_o commandment_n of_o god_n and_o of_o christ_n for_o the_o actual_a observance_n of_o they_o though_o here_o i_o charge_v you_o all_o in_o the_o name_n of_o god_n and_o of_o christ_n and_o here_o you_o be_v to_o take_v notice_n of_o it_o that_o i_o speak_v again_o by_o commandment_n see_v that_o these_o positive_a ordinance_n serve_v also_o unto_o the_o example_n and_o shadow_n of_o heavenly_a thing_n see_v well_o to_o it_o
