manifest_a that_o he_o mind_v not_o to_o infer_v that_o the_o gospel_n hang_v upon_o the_o allowance_n and_o authority_n of_o the_o church_n but_o only_o that_o the_o church_n have_v great_a weight_n

the_o four_o chapter_n he_o confess_v that_o in_o former_a time_n he_o maintain_v the_o manichee_n part_n and_o that_o he_o be_v very_o eager_a and_o sharp_a therein_o and_o blind_v in_o the_o

put_v down_o and_o show_v unto_o he_o the_o authority_n and_o testimony_n of_o the_o church_n for_o as_o touch_v myself_o in_o the_o time_n that_o i_o be_v a_o manichean_a i_o have_v not_o believe_v

this_o his_o intent_n &_o purpose_n be_v to_o teach_v that_o the_o foundation_n accomplishment_n and_o fulfil_n of_o baptism_n be_v in_o jesus_n christ_n alone_o for_o to_o be_v baptize_v in_o the_o

the_o sabbath_n to_o the_o lord_n day_n or_o that_o which_o we_o call_v sunday_n although_o that_o god_n by_o express_a writing_n command_v the_o observation_n and_o keep_n of_o the_o say_a sabbath_n wherefore_o them_z it_o follow_v that_o the_o church_n have_v power_n and_o authority_n over_o the_o holy_a scripture_n i_o answer_v in_o the_o first_o place_n that_o the_o church_n have_v change_v nothing_o at_o all_o of_o the_o commandment_n touch_v the_o observation_n of_o the_o sabaoth_n in_o or_o concern_v the_o substance_n thereof_o but_o only_o in_o or_o concern_v the_o circumstance_n for_o the_o thing_n or_o matter_n abide_v always_o that_o be_v to_o say_v the_o substance_n of_o the_o commandment_n see_v that_o one_o day_n of_o the_o week_n be_v reserve_v to_o be_v employ_v and_o bestow_v upon_o the_o holy_a rest_n which_o thing_n be_v enjoin_v by_o the_o commandment_n as_o be_v indeed_o the_o verity_n and_o truth_n thereof_o so_o that_o the_o observation_n and_o keep_v thereof_o be_v only_o change_v in_o respect_n of_o the_o time_n which_o change_n do_v not_o derogate_v any_o thing_n from_o the_o commandment_n &_o neither_o alter_v nor_o change_v any_o thing_n therein_o of_o that_o which_o god_n mind_v to_o commend_v

those_o which_o concern_v the_o discipline_n be_v to_o be_v refer_v to_o the_o order_n and_o honesty_n which_o ought_v to_o be_v keep_v in_o the_o church_n and_o consist_v in_o a_o manner_n &_o fashion_n of_o do_v altogether_o outward_a and_o these_o may_v a_o man_n call_v indifferent_a which_o a_o man_n may_v use_v either_o well_o or_o evil_a of_o this_o sort_n be_v ordinance_n touch_v the_o place_n the_o time_n the_o season_n &_o the_o hour_n set_v for_o preach_n &_o ministration_n of_o the_o sacrament_n the_o celebration_n of_o marriage_n fast_n public_a prayer_n &_o such_o like_a thing_n yet_o notwithstanding_o this_o must_v be_v know_v that_o no_o man_n may_v appoint_v in_o the_o practice_n and_o performance_n of_o these_o matter_n the_o service_n of_o god_n or_o our_o salvation_n neither_o must_v any_o man_n think_v that_o of_o themselves_o they_o concern_v the_o conscience_n now_o the_o difference_n and_o disputation_n that_o some_o move_v and_o make_v in_o the_o church_n touch_v this_o matter_n be_v not_o as_o concern_v this_o last_o kind_n of_o law_n appertein_v only_o to_o the_o discipline_n or_o policy_n so_o every_o one_o know_v and_o confess_v that_o the_o church_n can_v want_v her_o policy_n &_o order_n and_o that_o to_o the_o end_n she_o may_v abide_v unite_v and_o tie_v together_o she_o have_v need_n of_o certain_a outward_a bond_n wherefore_o the_o church_n may_v without_o any_o difficulti_fw-la or_o doubt_n make_v law_n appertein_v only_o to_o the_o outward_a discipline_n and_o take_v they_o away_o or_o change_v they_o according_a as_o she_o shall_v judge_v they_o to_o be_v expedient_a &_o profitable_a have_v always_o special_a respect_n to_o the_o time_n place_n and_o person_n as_o for_o example_n the_o church_n may_v ordain_v &_o appoint_v some_o day_n of_o the_o week_n for_o public_a prayer_n whether_o the_o prayer_n be_v ordinary_a or_o extraordinary_a the_o church_n also_o may_v choose_v a_o certain_a day_n or_o a_o certain_a hour_n to_o give_v thanks_n unto_o god_n when_o it_o shall_v have_v please_v he_o to_o have_v deliver_v out_o of_o some_o great_a danger_n either_o the_o whole_a church_n or_o the_o country_n or_o the_o magistrate_n or_o some_o other_o member_n place_v in_o authority_n the_o church_n also_o may_v publish_v a_o fast_n so_o often_o as_o necessity_n and_o occasion_n shall_v require_v it_o may_v take_v order_n also_o that_o baptism_n be_v minister_v at_o a_o certain_a time_n after_o the_o preach_n that_o the_o holy_a supper_n be_v celebrate_v and_o minister_v so_o often_o in_o a_o year_n and_o at_o those_o season_n which_o they_o shall_v judge_v expedient_a and_o meet_a that_o the_o as_o king_n or_o publish_v of_o the_o bane_n of_o marriage_n shall_v be_v as_o it_o be_v proclaim_v or_o declare_v three_o several_a sunday_n and_o last_o that_o the_o say_a marriage_n shall_v be_v celebrate_v at_o the_o sermon_n or_o preach_n either_o in_o the_o morning_n or_o

often_o in_o a_o month_n as_o shall_v be_v find_v expedient_a and_o profitable_a wherefore_o the_o church_n may_v establish_v these_o law_n and_o other_o such_o like_a which_o the_o faithful_a aught_o to_o obey_v to_o the_o end_n that_o there_o may_v not_o be_v any_o disorder_n or_o any_o confusion_n among_o the_o people_n of_o god_n but_o the_o question_n be_v of_o law_n concern_v doctrine_n and_o the_o sacrament_n or_o else_o other_o law_n touch_v the_o discipline_n by_o which_o they_o will_v bind_v conscience_n &_o enclose_v and_o comprehend_v therein_o simple_o the_o service_n of_o god_n that_o be_v to_o say_v whether_o it_o belong_v to_o the_o church_n to_o make_v law_n thereof_o or_o no_o the_o romish_a catholic_n say_v they_o may_v and_o we_o affirm_v the_o contrary_a and_o these_o be_v their_o reason_n follow_v the_o first_o reason_n be_v this_o the_o church_n have_v authority_n to_o teach_v wherefore_o she_o have_v also_o authority_n to_o make_v law_n belong_v to_o the_o

authority_n to_o teach_v and_o to_o have_v authority_n to_o make_v law_n belong_v to_o the_o doctrine_n jesus_n christ_n have_v in_o deed_n give_v the_o first_o of_o these_o to_o his_o church_n but_o so_o he_o have_v not_o the_o second_o and_o as_o god_n have_v express_o forbid_v to_o add_v any_o thing_n unto_o his_o law_n 12.32_o deut._n 4.2_o 12.32_o so_o jesus_n christ_n have_v command_v his_o

loose_v absolve_v and_o excommunicate_v wherefore_o it_o follow_v that_o she_o have_v also_o authority_n to_o establish_v law_n appertein_v to_o the_o doctrine_n i_o answer_v in_o one_o word_n that_o the_o consequence_n be_v false_a as_o it_o be_v in_o the_o argument_n last_o before_o go_v for_o a_o lord_n or_o ruler_n will_v in_o deed_n give_v power_n and_o authority_n to_o his_o officer_n to_o absolve_v &_o to_o condemn_v according_a to_o the_o law_n &_o ordinance_n but_o yet_o it_o will_v not_o follow_v for_o all_o that_o that_o he_o give_v they_o power_n of_o themselves_o to_o make_v

law_n &_o commandment_n of_o the_o church_n i_o answer_v as_o above_o be_v answer_v that_o we_o must_v obey_v the_o voice_n of_o the_o church_n when_o it_o come_v out_o of_o moses_n chair_n and_o

which_o she_o shall_v ordain_v and_o establish_v to_o keep_v good_a order_n &_o to_o serve_v for_o edification_n and_o the_o maintenance_n and_o uphold_v of_o the_o discipline_n for_o in_o the_o

because_o that_o in_o they_o they_o will_v place_v the_o service_n of_o god_n and_o that_o they_o will_v think_v by_o they_o to_o deserve_v god_n grace_n and_o the_o forgiveness_n of_o sin_n in_o these_o thing_n i_o say_v we_o ought_v not_o at_o any_o hand_n to_o obey_v 5.29_o acts._n 4.19_o 5.29_o but_o in_o such_o commandment_n of_o the_o church_n we_o ought_v to_o say_v that_o it_o be_v better_a to_o obey_v god_n then_o man_n the_o five_o reason_n 27_o ester_n 9.26_o 27_o as_o in_o ester_n it_o be_v ordain_v that_o beside_o the_o feast_n command_v in_o the_o law_n they_o shall_v celebrate_v every_o year_n the_o feast_n of_o lot_n which_o be_v call_v purim_n 4.59_o 1._o macha_n 4.59_o and_o in_o the_o history_n of_o the_o maccabee_n the_o feast_n of_o the_o dedication_n call_v in_o greek_a by_o saint_n john_n 10.22_o john_n 10.22_o encaenia_fw-la so_o the_o christian_a church_n may_v well_o at_o this_o day_n ordain_v feast_n as_o shall_v seem_v unto_o she_o to_o be_v expedient_a and_o profitable_a for_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n and_o the_o edification_n of_o the_o people_n as_o it_o have_v in_o time_n heretofore_o ordain_v the_o feast_n and_o holy_a day_n of_o

of_o purim_n or_o lot_n and_o of_o the_o dedication_n and_o these_o of_o saint_n peter_n saint_n anthony_n and_o such_o other_o i_o deny_v not_o but_o that_o those_o two_o first_o be_v in_o former_a

of_o god_n &_o to_o bring_v to_o their_o remembrance_n his_o great_a benefit_n towards_o his_o church_n that_o they_o also_o may_v give_v he_o thanks_o therefore_o for_o in_o ester_n it_o be_v say_v that_o the_o feast_n of_o purim_n or_o lot_n be_v ordain_v by_o the_o church_n for_o remembrance_n of_o this_o that_o the_o people_n be_v deliver_v from_o the_o curse_a conspiracy_n of_o haman_n and_o judas_n machabeus_n with_o the_o consent_n of_o the_o whole_a church_n ordain_v the_o feast_n of_o the_o dedication_n otherwise_o call_v encaenia_fw-la in_o remembrance_n of_o the_o deliveraunce_n of_o the_o people_n and_o of_o the_o repair_n and_o hallow_v again_o as_o it_o be_v of_o the_o temple_n which_o have_v be_v pollute_v by_o antiochus_n and_o we_o deny_v not_o but_o that_o synod_n may_v ordain_v certain_a day_n and_o solemn_o keep_v they_o to_o the_o end_n that_o the_o people_n may_v cease_v from_o their_o own_o work_n to_o fast_o to_o pray_v unto_o god_n and_o to_o yield_v

by_o the_o example_n of_o the_o two_o feast_n aforesaid_a approve_v or_o allow_v the_o feast_n of_o the_o papacy_n or_o popedom_n first_o they_o be_v but_o two_o only_a but_o in_o the_o popedom_n there_o be_v a_o infinite_a number_n for_o what_o measure_n do_v they_o ever_o keep_v in_o the_o number_n thereof_o second_o the_o two_o above_o speak_v of_o be_v institute_v to_o the_o name_n of_o

call_v they_o the_o feast_n of_o s._n anthony_n of_o s._n francis_n of_o saint_n vincent_n of_o saint_n sebastian_n of_o saint_n agathon_n of_o the_o virgin_n mary_n and_o so_o of_o other_o three_o those_o have_v their_o foundation_n and_o beginning_n for_o the_o service_n of_o god_n and_o always_o serve_v to_o edification_n for_o they_o be_v establish_v and_o appoint_v as_o have_v be_v say_v to_o thank_v god_n &_o to_o give_v he_o praise_v for_o the_o benefit_n which_o he_o have_v bestow_v upon_o his_o church_n these_o have_v no_o foundation_n or_o beginning_n but_o in_o superstition_n and_o idolatry_n &_o serve_v to_o no_o other_o purpose_n or_o matter_n either_o more_o or_o less_o than_o the_o feast_n and_o holy_a day_n of_o the_o pagan_n and_o ethnic_n for_o wherefore_o be_v it_o that_o the_o papist_n give_v the_o name_n of_o saint_n to_o their_o festival_n day_n but_o because_o they_o mean_v to_o sanctify_v the_o say_a feast_n in_o the_o honour_n of_o those_o saint_n as_o they_o call_v they_o who_o name_n they_o bear_v and_o in_o so_o do_v do_v they_o not_o set_v up_o the_o saint_n in_o god_n place_n because_o they_o serve_v &_o give_v that_o honour_n unto_o they_o which_o appertain_v to_o he_o alone_o as_o in_o old_a time_n the_o pagan_n do_v in_o the_o celebration_n of_o their_o feast_n and_o divine_a service_n these_o be_v the_o principal_a reason_n upon_o which_o the_o romishe_a catholic_n ground_n themselves_o thereby_o to_o prove_v that_o it_o belong_v to_o the_o church_n to_o make_v law_n to_o tie_v man_n conscience_n withal_o now_o it_o remain_v that_o we_o show_v and_o set_v down_o our_o reason_n to_o prove_v the_o contrary_n the_o first_o be_v this_o it_o be_v write_v in_o isaiah_n 33.22_o isaiah_n 33.22_o the_o lord_n be_v our_o judge_n the_o lord_n be_v our_o law_n giver_n the_o lord_n be_v our_o king_n 12._o jam._n 4._o 12._o and_o in_o saint_n james._n there_o be_v one_o law_n giver_n which_o be_v able_a to_o save_v and_o

none_o but_o god_n alone_o that_o can_v institute_v and_o ordain_v a_o lawful_a service_n which_o may_v be_v agreeable_a to_o himself_o and_o acceptable_a in_o his_o sight_n for_o this_o cause_n he_o himself_o say_v 12.8.32_o deut._n 12.8.32_o you_o shall_v not_o do_v after_o all_o these_o thing_n that_o you_o do_v here_o this_o day_n that_o be_v every_o man_n whatsoever_o seem_v good_a in_o his_o

23._o i_o speak_v not_o say_v he_o unto_o your_o father_n nor_o command_v they_o when_o i_o bring_v they_o out_o of_o the_o land_n of_o egypt_n concern_v burn_v offering_n and_o sacrifice_n but_o

we_o may_v read_v many_o such_o or_o the_o like_a sentence_n but_o special_o this_o be_v notable_a and_o excellent_a that_o the_o son_n of_o aaron_n be_v horrible_o burn_v and_o consume_v with_o the_o
