not_o that_o the_o same_o feast_n be_v command_v by_o the_o law_n to_o be_v short_a the_o great_a part_n of_o those_o proposition_n or_o question_n touch_v matter_n of_o apparel_n do_v stand_v on_o this_o point_n whether_o any_o lawe●_n ought_v or_o may_v be_v make_v in_o the_o church_n touch_v apparel_n and_o so_o the_o question_n be_v bring_v to_o this_o general_a proposition_n that_o be_v what_o be_v lawful_a to_o be_v decree_v concern_v ceremony_n unto_o these_o question_n i_o brief_o answer_v that_o i_o will_v have_v no_o ceremony_n bring_v into_o the_o church_n but_o such_o as_o be_v necessary_a yet_o in_o the_o mean_a season_n i_o confess_v that_o the_o law_n touch_v these_o ceremony_n which_o perchance_o be_v not_o necessary_a &_o sometime_o unprofitable_a may_v not_o by_o and_o by_o be_v condemn_v of_o wickedness_n so_o that_o faction_n and_o schism_n be_v stir_v up_o in_o the_o church_n for_o so_o much_o as_o they_o be_v without_o superstition_n and_o thing_n of_o their_o own_o nature_n mere_a indifferent_a whether_o it_o be_v lawful_a to_o renew_v the_o custom_n of_o the_o jew_n be_v abrogate_a and_o to_o translate_v the_o rite_n proper_a to_o idolatrous_a religion_n from_o they_o to_o be_v use_v in_o reform_a church_n touch_v this_o question_n i_o answer_v before_o when_o i_o speak_v of_o leviticall_a rite_n and_o ceremony_n but_o i_o will_v not_o in_o any_o wise_n have_v the_o ceremony_n of_o idolater_n not_o purge_v from_o their_o superstition_n &_o error_n translate_v into_o reform_a church_n and_o again_o on_o the_o other_o side_n it_o may_v be_v ask_v whether_o the_o receive_v custom_n after_o the_o superstition_n be_v take_v away_o may_v be_v for_o discipline_n and_o order_n sake_n retain_v without_o sin_n whether_o conformity_n or_o agreement_n in_o ceremony_n be_v to_o be_v require_v of_o necessity_n i_o answer_v that_o the_o agreement_n of_o ceremony_n in_o all_o church_n peradventure_o be_v not_o necessary_a in_o the_o mean_a time_n if_o a_o thing_n unnecessary_a which_o yet_o be_v not_o wicked_a be_v command_v therefore_o we_o may_v not_o forsake_v the_o church_n commit_v to_o our_o charge_n there_o be_v not_o the_o like_a fashion_n in_o ceremony_n in_o all_o the_o ancient_a church_n and_o yet_o those_o which_o use_v conformable_a ceremony_n despise_v not_o those_o which_o be_v without_o the_o same_o i_o easy_o belove_v that_o wise_n &_o politic_a man_n do_v urge_n a_o conformity_n in_o ceremony_n because_o th●_n think_v this_o will_v maintain_v concord_n and_o b●cause_v the_o church_n throughout_o all_o england_n be_v one_o wherein_o if_o there_o be_v no_o wicked_a thyn●_n mix_v withal_o i_o can_v not_o see_v how_o you_o can_v envious_o object_v any_o thing_n against_o such_o goo●_n order_n whether_o ceremony_n joine●_n with_o open_a offence_n may_v be_v retain_v or_o no_o i_o answer_v that_o all_o offence_n must_v be_v avoid_v but_o in_o the_o mean_a while_n w●_n must_v beware_v lest_o we_o conceal_v and_o cloak_n ou●_n own_o affection_n under_o the_o colour_n of_o offence_n you_o know_v there_o be_v one_o kind_n of_o offence_n gruen_o and_o a_o other_o kind_n take_v and_o wilful_o procure_v here_o i_o will_v not_o dispute_v whethe●_n you_o without_o great_a offence_n give_v can_v forsake_v your_o church_n for_o the_o which_o christ_n die_v and_o that_o for_o a_o matter_n of_o indifferency_n whether_o that_o any_o constitution_n of_o man_n be_v to_o be_v tolerate_v in_o th●_n church_n which_o albeit_o they_o be_v no●_n wicked_a of_o their_o own_o nature_n yet_o do_v help_n to_o edification_n never_o a_o whit●_n i_o answer_v that_o if_o the_o constitution_n whic●_n the_o prince_n majesty_n will_v enjoin_v you_o to_o be_v without_o impiety_n you_o must_v rather_o bear_v with_o they_o then_o forsake_v your_o church_n for_o if_o edify_v the_o church_n be_v chief_o to_o be_v considere_v in_o this_o behalf_n sure_o then_o in_o leave_v the_o church_n we_o shall_v more_o destroy_v it_o then_o in_o wear_v apparel_n and_o where_o there_o be_v no_o impiety_n nor_o the_o conscience_n be_v not_o offend_v there_o ought_v we_o not_o geve_v over_o our_o vocation_n although_o there_o be_v some_o kind_n of_o servitude_n thereby_o lay_v upon_o we_o and_o in_o the_o mean_a time_n it_o may_v be_v a_o question_n whether_o we_o may_v right_o comprehend_v the_o matter_n of_o apparel_n under_o the_o name_n of_o bondage_n in_o respect_n that_o it_o serve_v for_o comeliness_n and_o order_n whether_o the_o prince_n may_v prescribe_v any_o thing_n touch_v ceremony_n without_o the_o will_n and_o free_a consent_n of_o the_o clergy_n i_o answer_v that_o if_o the_o prince_n shall_v always_o tarry_v for_o the_o consent_n of_o the_o clergy_n perchance_o those_o most_o wise_a and_o godly_a king_n josaphat_n ezechias_n asa_n and_o josias_n with_o other_o good_a prince_n shall_v never_o have_v bring_v the_o levite_n and_o minister_n of_o the_o church_n into_o good_a order_n albeit_o i_o will_v not_o wish_v in_o any_o wise_n that_o bishop_n shall_v be_v exclude_v from_o consultation_n concern_v matter_n of_o the_o church_n neither_o will_v i_o again_o have_v they_o challenge_v unto_o themselves_o that_o power_n which_o they_o usurp_v against_o prince_n &_o magistrate_n in_o the_o time_n of_o popery_n likewise_o i_o will_v not_o have_v bishop_n keep_v silence_n and_o geve_v consent_n to_o wicked_a statute_n of_o prince_n the_o two_o latter_a question_n touch_v the_o ma●ter_n more_o narrow_o whether_o it_o be_v more_o convenient_a to_o serve_v in_o the_o church_n after_o this_o manner_n or_o rather_o therefore_o to_o be_v deprive_v of_o ecclesiastical_a function_n and_o again_o whether_o good_a pastor_n may_v b●_n just_o put_v from_o the_o ministry_n for_o such_o kind_n of_o ceremony_n i_o answer_v that_o if_o there_o be_v no_o superstition_n in_o such_o ceremony_n nor_o any_o ungodliness_n and_o yet_o notwithstanding_o they_o be_v lay_v on_o good_a pastor_n which_o have_v rather_o they_o be_v not_o so_o lay_v upon_o they_o i_o will_v grant_v in_o deed_n &_o that_o frank_o that_o there_o be_v a_o burden_n and_o a_o bondage_n lay_v on_o they_o but_o yet_o i_o will_v not_o graun●_n for_o very_o good_a cause_n to_o that_o therefore_o their_o charge_n and_o ministry_n be_v to_o be_v forsake_v and_o their_o place_n leave_v unto_o wolf_n as_o i_o say_v be●re_o or_o to_o other_o unmeeet_a minister_n especial_o the_o the_o liberty_n of_o preach_v remain_v ●ee_n and_o that_o there_o be_v heed_n take_v lest_o grea_a servitude_n be_v thrust_v upon_o they_o with_o such_o their_o thing_n of_o this_o nature_n thus_o have_v i_o speak_v those_o thing_n which_o i_o think_v meet_v concern_v these_o propouned_a question_n know_v right_a

god_n require_v of_o we_o that_o we_o shall_v worship_n he_o with_o all_o our_o heart_n with_o all_o our_o soul_n &_o with_o our_o whole_a power_n &_o that_o we_o shall_v at_o once_o take_v upon_o
