the_o sign_n of_o the_o cross_n and_o i_o think_v be_v sufficient_a to_o convince_v any_o unbyased_a person_n that_o you_o have_v no_o cause_n to_o separate_v from_o our_o worship_n on_o that_o

which_o i_o be_o not_o willing_a to_o do_v out_o of_o tenderness_n to_o you_o as_o well_o as_o on_o other_o account_n till_o the_o last_o necessity_n at_o present_a i_o must_v leave_v with_o you_o this_o caution_n as_o well_o in_o respect_n of_o mr._n boyse'_v remark_n as_o of_o any_o other_o answer_n that_o may_v come_v out_o to_o my_o book_n that_o i_o do_v not_o think_v that_o either_o you_o

know_v that_o nothing_o can_v be_v more_o ungrateful_a to_o you_o then_o to_o give_v you_o to_o understand_v that_o the_o worship_n you_o suppose_v so_o pure_a and_o conformable_a to_o the_o word_n of_o god_n have_v no_o express_a warrant_n in_o scripture_n for_o it_o and_o that_o all_o those_o thing_n in_o our_o worship_n that_o you_o have_v so_o long_o be_v bear_v in_o hand_n to_o be_v only_a

thereof_o and_o according_o when_o omit_v in_o private_a baptism_n by_o order_n of_o the_o church_n it_o be_v declare_v that_o in_o that_o case_n all_o be_v well_o do_v and_o according_a to_o due_a order_n concern_v baptise_v the_o child_n i_o conclude_v therefore_o direct_o contrary_a to_o what_o mr._n boyse_n allege_v that_o beside_o divine_a institution_n every_o thing_n be_v want_v to_o make_v the_o sign_n of_o the_o cross_a a_o sacrament_n that_o be_v proper_a to_o baptism_n or_o any_o other_o sacrament_n and_o i_o must_v profess_v that_o i_o find_v as_o little_a strength_n in_o this_o argument_n again_o the_o cross_n as_o in_o any_o that_o mr._n boyse_n have_v produce_v on_o the_o other_o head_n and_o the_o whole_a force_n of_o it_o seem_v to_o i_o to_o proceed_v from_o two_o mistake_v concern_v the_o nature_n of_o sacrament_n first_o as_o if_o they_o be_v sign_n from_o we_o to_o god_n and_o not_o whole_o from_o god_n to_o we_o and_o second_o as_o if_o we_o be_v to_o learn_v the_o nature_n of_o sacrament_n from_o the_o school_n and_o the_o partial_a definition_n of_o interest_v disputant_n and_o not_o from_o the_o holy_a scripture_n only_o hence_o he_o have_v not_o give_v we_o one_o place_n of_o scripture_n to_o prove_v his_o imperfect_a account_n of_o a_o sacrament_n p._n 464._o but_o instead_o thereof_o tell_v we_o of_o the_o cross_n be_v set_v up_o to_o represent_v christ_n crucify_a our_o be_v bring_v under_o solemn_a obligation_n to_o confess_v the_o faith_n of_o christ_n and_o of_o moral_a casuality_n ascribe_v to_o this_o ceremony_n all_o which_o have_v little_a to_o do_v with_o the_o nature_n of_o a_o sacrament_n i_o will_v have_v you_o better_o consider_v for_o what_o a_o sacrament_n be_v intend_v then_o that_o you_o shall_v be_v lead_v to_o use_v these_o as_o the_o only_a design_n of_o it_o if_o we_o keep_v to_o the_o holy_a scripture_n and_o to_o the_o word_n thereof_o as_o i_o have_v lay_v they_o down_o we_o shall_v have_v a_o much_o better_a understanding_n of_o its_o nature_n iii_o but_o to_o proceed_v in_o the_o three_o place_n i_o say_v that_o the_o use_n of_o the_o cross_n in_o baptism_n be_v warrant_v by_o scripture_n and_o here_o i_o must_v desire_v leave_n to_o be_v something_o large_a and_o particular_a that_o i_o may_v explain_v this_o point_n to_o ordinary_a capacity_n and_o in_o order_n to_o enable_v you_o to_o judge_v of_o it_o i_o desire_v you_o to_o consider_v 1._o that_o we_o be_v oblige_v to_o express_v the_o inward_a reverence_n and_o sense_n of_o our_o mind_n concern_v god_n by_o some_o outward_a mean_n whereby_o we_o may_v preserve_v and_o increase_v that_o sense_n in_o ourselves_o and_o may_v make_v appear_v to_o other_o what_o we_o think_v of_o god_n and_o holy_a thing_n thus_o we_o be_v oblige_v to_o express_v our_o sense_n of_o god_n excellency_n by_o praise_n our_o sense_n of_o our_o dependence_n on_o he_o by_o confession_n of_o his_o power_n and_o prayer_n our_o sense_n of_o have_v offend_v he_o by_o confession_n of_o our_o sin_n and_o our_o resolution_n of_o amendment_n by_o promise_n and_o vow_n 2._o the_o scripture_n command_v we_o to_o express_v these_o inward_a thought_n and_o sense_n of_o our_o mind_n by_o action_n as_o well_o as_o by_o word_n thus_o we_o express_v the_o submission_n of_o our_o mind_n by_o adoration_n our_o humility_n before_o god_n by_o kneel_v or_o prostration_n etc._n etc._n which_o action_n the_o scripture_n have_v as_o much_o warrant_v in_o our_o address_n to_o god_n as_o they_o have_v word_n and_o general_o speak_v they_o be_v rather_o more_o effectual_a and_o sincere_a expression_n of_o the_o sense_n of_o our_o mind_n than_o word_n 3._o the_o scripture_n teach_v we_o to_o express_v our_o thought_n and_o sense_n of_o our_o mind_n in_o such_o word_n and_o action_n as_o on_o other_o serious_a occasion_n serve_v to_o express_v the_o like_a sense_n and_o disposition_n of_o mind_n so_o that_o we_o be_v not_o to_o invent_v new_a word_n or_o action_n to_o signify_v our_o submission_n or_o thankfulness_n etc._n etc._n to_o god_n but_o we_o be_v to_o use_v such_o as_o the_o general_a custom_n of_o our_o country_n have_v make_v significant_a in_o the_o like_a case_n for_o by_o use_v they_o our_o neighbour_n will_v best_o understand_v we_o and_o we_o ourselves_o will_v be_v most_o likely_a to_o be_v stir_v up_o by_o they_o that_o it_o be_v our_o duty_n to_o use_v these_o action_n in_o the_o worship_n of_o god_n will_v appear_v from_o the_o whole_a tenor_n of_o the_o scripture_n thus_o because_o bow_v the_o body_n in_o all_o place_n of_o the_o world_n argue_v respect_n therefore_o the_o scripture_n warrant_v our_o bow_n when_o we_o come_v into_o god_n presence_n thus_o because_o by_o the_o general_a custom_n of_o the_o world_n kneel_v be_v a_o token_n of_o humble_o supplicate_v those_o to_o who_o we_o kneel_v therefore_o in_o our_o confession_n and_o humble_a address_n to_o god_n the_o scripture_n prescribe_v to_o we_o to_o kneel_v thus_o because_o servant_n stand_v when_o they_o attend_v their_o master_n therefore_o in_o our_o praise_n and_o in_o some_o other_o service_n we_o pay_v to_o god_n the_o scripture_n warrant_v we_o to_o stand_v thus_o because_o in_o the_o eastern_a country_n those_o that_o come_v into_o the_o court_n of_o prince_n put_v off_o their_o shoe_n out_o of_o neatness_n or_o respect_n therefore_o god_n sometime_o require_v his_o worshipper_n to_o approach_v his_o presence_n in_o the_o like_a manner_n thus_o because_o it_o be_v the_o custom_n for_o master_n to_o give_v their_o servant_n a_o new_a name_n at_o their_o admission_n into_o their_o family_n therefore_o god_n give_v abraham_n a_o new_a name_n at_o his_o admit_v he_o to_o his_o peculiar_a service_n and_o hence_o come_v the_o custom_n of_o give_v a_o name_n at_o circumcision_n thus_o it_o be_v the_o custom_n of_o the_o world_n to_o express_v a_o sense_n of_o deep_a sorrow_n by_o fast_v lie_v on_o the_o ground_n cover_v themselves_o with_o sackcloth_n rent_v their_o garment_n and_o beat_v their_o body_n and_o hence_o we_o find_v holy_a man_n use_v all_o these_o to_o express_v their_o sorrow_n for_o their_o sin_n thus_o they_o express_v their_o religious_a as_o well_o as_o civil_a joy_n by_o sing_v feast_v dance_a send_v portion_n to_o their_o friend_n by_o white_a garment_n and_o more_o than_o ordinary_a neatness_n in_o their_o dress_n and_o of_o this_o nature_n there_o be_v many_o other_o instance_n which_o full_o show_v we_o that_o the_o scripture_n warrant_v we_o to_o make_v use_n of_o such_o fit_a action_n to_o express_v our_o thought_n and_o sense_n of_o religious_a thing_n as_o the_o custom_n of_o each_o country_n have_v make_v proper_a and_o significant_a to_o express_v the_o passion_n of_o our_o mind_n on_o other_o occasion_n and_o do_v no_o more_o bind_v we_o to_o the_o particular_a action_n of_o holy_a man_n mention_v therein_o if_o they_o have_v lose_v their_o significancy_n than_o they_o bind_v we_o to_o their_o word_n which_o we_o do_v not_o understand_v this_o appear_v from_o many_o instance_n of_o scripture_n action_n now_o disuse_v by_o we_o and_o of_o other_o bring_v into_o use_n particular_o that_o of_o uncover_v the_o head_n a_o action_n never_o use_v in_o scripture_n as_o a_o sign_n of_o reverence_n yet_o lawful_o use_v by_o we_o from_o the_o forementioned_a employ_v rule_n of_o scripture_n because_o custom_n have_v give_v it_o a_o general_a signification_n of_o respect_n 4._o glory_v in_o the_o suffering_n of_o christ_n and_o profess_v
