of_o place_n when_o god_n require_v his_o public_a worship_n to_o be_v sure_a it_o must_v be_v in_o some_o place_n now_o if_o particular_a place_n be_v not_o determine_v by_o man_n what_o order_n

conceive_v it_o will_v more_v then_o a_o little_a conduce_v to_o the_o peace_n of_o the_o church_n if_o they_o be_v so_o leave_v as_o for_o religious_a ceremony_n that_o depend_v mere_o upon_o the_o arbitrary_a pleasure_n and_o institution_n of_o man_n these_o be_v matter_n of_o another_o nature_n let_v we_o for_o this_o present_a suppose_v they_o to_o be_v mere_a indifferency_n and_o thus_o much_o be_v acknowledge_v long_o ago_o by_o the_o church_n of_o england_n in_o the_o 34th_o article_n which_o begin_v thus_o it_o be_v not_o necessary_a that_o tradition_n and_o ceremony_n be_v in_o all_o place_n one_o or_o utter_o like_a for_o at_o all_o time_n they_o have_v be_v divers_a and_o change_v according_a to_o the_o diversity_n of_o country_n time_n and_o man_n manner_n etc._n etc._n the_o same_o article_n end_v thus_o every_o particular_a or_o national_a church_n have_v authority_n to_o ordain_v change_n and_o abolish_v ceremony_n or_o rite_n of_o the_o church_n ordain_v only_o by_o man_n authority_n so_o that_o all_o thing_n be_v do_v to_o edify_v by_o this_o it_o be_v evident_a that_o ceremony_n long_v ago_o be_v look_v upon_o by_o the_o church_n of_o england_n as_o mere_a indifference_n that_o may_v be_v change_v or_o abolish_v without_o sin_n for_o governor_n then_o that_o be_v thus_o persuade_v of_o they_o to_o impose_v they_o with_o rigour_n upon_o such_o as_o think_v in_o conscience_n they_o be_v sinful_a it_o seem_v to_o i_o a_o harshness_n of_o carriage_n ill_o become_v the_o meekness_n of_o wisdom_n but_o what_o do_v you_o talk_v of_o conscience_n will_v some_o say_v it_o be_v a_o easy_a matter_n to_o cover_v a_o peevish_a refractory_a humour_n with_o a_o pretence_n of_o conscience_n let_v they_o look_v to_o it_o say_v i_o that_o incur_v such_o a_o guilt_n but_o for_o those_o that_o be_v real_a put_v case_n that_o they_o be_v mistake_v and_o that_o ceremony_n be_v indifferent_a thing_n yet_o if_o they_o refuse_v they_o whilst_o in_o conscience_n they_o think_v they_o sinful_a i_o can_v imagine_v but_o their_o plea_n will_v be_v much_o better_a at_o christ_n tribunal_n then_o there_o be_v who_o rigorous_o impose_v they_o whilst_o they_o think_v they_o indifferent_a if_o it_o be_v plead_v upon_o supposition_n of_o the_o indifferency_n of_o ceremony_n in_o themselves_o that_o the_o injunction_n of_o authority_n take_v away_o this_o indifferency_n and_o make_v the_o omission_n of_o they_o to_o become_v a_o sin_n according_a to_o this_o principle_n there_o still_o rest_v a_o power_n in_o authority_n to_o abolish_v they_o and_o withal_o i_o hope_v i_o may_v say_v without_o presumption_n it_o concern_v authority_n to_o be_v very_o cautelous_a how_o they_o make_v injunction_n that_o may_v occasion_v sin_n which_o will_v not_o be_v be_v it_o not_o for_o those_o injunction_n can_v any_o be_v offend_v with_o i_o for_o this_o that_o consider_v how_o manifold_a the_o precept_n and_o institution_n of_o christ_n be_v and_o how_o much_o the_o world_n groan_v under_o the_o weight_n of_o that_o guilt_n that_o be_v contract_v by_o not_o observe_v they_o and_o as_o for_o peace_n i_o can_v imagine_v that_o ever_o the_o church_n get_v so_o much_o by_o ceremony_n as_o will_v pay_v for_o the_o peace_n it_o have_v lose_v by_o they_o i_o must_v confess_v my_o self_n hard_o to_o be_v persuade_v that_o england_n will_v have_v have_v so_o much_o cause_n to_o complain_v of_o division_n and_o separation_n that_o have_v rend_v and_o tear_v the_o church_n into_o many_o piece_n have_v there_o not_o be_v so_o much_o

little_o thank_v for_o it_o it_o be_v very_o observable_a in_o some_o chapter_n of_o the_o moysaicall_a law_n that_o where_o you_o have_v a_o punctual_a narration_n of_o god_n prescription_n in_o
