idolatrous_a rite_n or_o ceremony_n the_o christian_a tabernacle_n no_o less_o than_o the_o jewish_a ought_v to_o be_v build_v according_a to_o that_o pattern_n show_v in_o the_o mount_n of_o the_o scripture_n so_o that_o there_o be_v not_o in_o the_o curtain_n thereof_o so_o much_o as_o a_o loop_n or_o a_o tach_v but_o according_a to_o the_o prescript_n of_o god_n the_o only_a lawgiver_n long_o experience_n have_v teach_v we_o that_o there_o be_v in_o such_o rite_n a_o secret_a and_o wonderful_a power_n to_o defile_v if_o but_o the_o small_a part_n thereof_o be_v admit_v it_o will_v not_o long_o continue_v so_o but_o speedy_o like_o a_o gangrene_n it_o will_v begin_v to_o spread_v whilst_o at_o ●ast_n it_o corrupt_v the_o whole_a worship_n have_v lose_v the_o simplicity_n and_o purity_n of_o christ_n institution_n what_o be_v she_o not_o a_o foolish_a and_o mad_a woman_n who_o will_v adorn_v herself_o with_o ornament_n borrow_v from_o some_o vile_a harlot_n suppose_v thereby_o the_o better_a to_o please_v her_o husband_n what_o filthy_a harlot_n be_v there_o then_o the_o romish_a strumpet_n most_o accomplish_a in_o all_o sort_n of_o spiritual_a villainy_n surpass_v all_o the_o bound_n of_o impudence_n let_v we_o never_o therefore_o be_v so_o dement_v as_o to_o account_v the_o worship_n of_o god_n most_o pure_a by_o christ_n institution_n to_o be_v more_o please_v unto_o god_n when_o it_o be_v perform_v with_o ornament_n borrow_v from_o the_o romish_a bordello_n let_v we_o think_v that_o the_o lord_n can_v but_o be_v high_o offend_v take_v away_o his_o holy_a spirit_n and_o depart_v far_o with_o the_o light_n of_o his_o grace_n so_o soon_o as_o man_n begin_v to_o be_v so_o mad_a then_o he_o suffer_v they_o from_o day_n to_o day_n to_o sink_v deep_o in_o the_o dunghill_n of_o superstitious_a rite_n wherein_o they_o delight_v while_o at_o last_o they_o be_v suffocate_v therein_o as_o it_o come_v to_o pass_v in_o the_o papacy_n we_o confess_v indeed_o that_o for_o thing_n indifferent_a we_o like_v not_o to_o be_v contentious_a neither_o leave_v we_o the_o romish_a kirk_n for_o these_o or_o such_o like_a thing_n but_o for_o the_o

for_o his_o tyranny_n for_o their_o contempt_n &_o prohibition_n of_o the_o use_n of_o scripture_n for_o justification_n by_o work_n and_o hundred_o more_o of_o that_o kind_n if_o the_o romish_a kirk_n have_v be_v taint_v only_o with_o some_o small_a blemish_n or_o have_v be_v defile_v only_o with_o some_o indifferent_a rite_n if_o for_o these_o we_o have_v depart_v from_o she_o we_o may_v

all_o thing_n to_o be_v turn_v up_o side_n down_o thereby_o they_o make_v manifest_a that_o it_o be_v not_o for_o these_o ceremony_n alone_o they_o stir_v up_o such_o trouble_n but_o that_o they_o

your_o kirk_n shall_v grow_v up_o together_o with_o the_o english_a in_o a_o more_o solid_a and_o durable_a concord_n 4_o this_o will_v cut_v short_a the_o popish_a emissary_n of_o all_o hope_n of_o

and_o together_o but_o they_o essay_n to_o creep_v in_o by_o degree_n they_o labour_v to_o persuade_v that_o there_o be_v no_o danger_n if_o with_o the_o sing_n of_o psalm_n organ_n be_v join_v as_o

such_o ceremony_n as_o kneel_v in_o the_o holy_a supper_n conduce_v much_o to_o stir_v up_o piety_n and_o to_o avoid_v contempt_n that_o forewarn_v of_o the_o apostle_n have_v take_v deep_a impression_n in_o our_o heart_n that_o such_o thing_n have_v a_o show_n of_o wisdom_n in_o will-worship_n and_o humility_n but_o in_o effect_n be_v of_o no_o worth_n such_o thing_n have_v the_o

the_o country_n why_o enjoin_v he_o not_o kneel_v next_o what_o if_o some_o other_o shall_v appoint_v for_o great_a humility_n and_o submission_n of_o mind_n that_o we_o shall_v come_v with_o sackcloth_n and_o ash_n to_o the_o holy_a supper_n yea_o if_o another_o shall_v appoint_v that_o we_o ought_v to_o come_v with_o rope_n about_o our_o neck_n that_o by_o this_o sign_n they_o may_v open_o declare_v their_o extreme_a unworthiness_n and_o that_o they_o have_v deserve_v death_n as_o the_o servant_n of_o benhaded_a come_v unto_o the_o king_n of_o israel_n and_o in_o end_n what_o shall_v be_v the_o end_n if_o this_o door_n shall_v once_o be_v open_v therefore_o we_o must_v not_o pass_v from_o the_o primitive_a worship_n but_o wherefore_o then_o may_v some_o say_v do_v yourselves_o pass_v from_o the_o primitive_a way_n why_o stand_v they_o in_o the_o french_a kirk_n at_o the_o lord_n supper_n why_o sit_v you_o in_o the_o netherlands_o and_o why_o do_v you_o not_o

of_o our_o country_n we_o lean_a sit_v or_o stand_v in_o none_o of_o these_o gesture_n be_v religious_a worship_n place_v but_o to_o receive_v meat_n kneel_v be_v not_o where_o usual_a but_o that_o
