we_o even_o in_o the_o least_o or_o low_a action_n of_o our_o life_n because_o it_o supply_v we_o with_o many_o general_a rule_n to_o all_o which_o we_o must_v reduce_v every_o particular_a action_n of_o common_a life_n for_o the_o allowance_n or_o refusal_n of_o it_o and_o therefore_o for_o the_o help_n of_o such_o as_o be_v teachable_a i_o think_v it_o may_v be_v profitable_a to_o apply_v unto_o those_o general_n and_o bring_v to_o their_o trial_n this_o particular_a of_o habit_n and_o attire_n unto_o which_o while_n they_o be_v square_v none_o have_v so_o much_o right_a to_o use_v

attire_n and_o ornament_n i._o in_o respect_n of_o god_n we_o must_v attend_v three_o rule_n 1._o the_o first_o concern_v our_o warrant_n and_o be_v this_o no_o ornament_n must_v be_v use_v but_o by_o warrant_n and_o leave_v from_o god_n our_o warrant_n be_v from_o the_o word_n our_o leave_n be_v by_o prayer_n the_o rule_n for_o both_o be_v express_v 1_o tim._n 4.5_o every_o creature_n of_o god_n be_v good_a sanctify_v by_o the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o prayer_n whence_o it_o follow_v that_o whatsoever_o ornament_n attire_n or_o fashion_n be_v not_o warrant_v to_o the_o heart_n by_o some_o part_n of_o the_o word_n the_o ground_n of_o faith_n or_o for_o which_o it_o can_v send_v up_o a_o prayer_n of_o faith_n for_o god_n blessing_n upon_o it_o that_o can_v be_v warrantable_a to_o a_o godly_a heart_n which_o of_o our_o gallant_n in_o their_o strange_a fashion_n ponder_v that_o of_o the_o apostle_n 3.17_o coloss_n 3.17_o whatsoever_o you_o do_v in_o word_n or_o deed_n do_v all_o

must_v look_v to_o the_o right_a end_n namely_o no_o ornament_n or_o attire_n of_o any_o fashion_n or_o colour_n may_v be_v use_v till_o the_o heart_n be_v assure_v that_o this_o be_v the_o proper_a

whatsoever_o be_v a_o word_n of_o universality_n fetch_v in_o the_o small_a action_n of_o life_n in_o which_o we_o be_v bind_v chief_o and_o principal_o to_o intend_v and_o set_v up_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n for_o which_o end_n he_o create_v not_o ourselves_o only_o but_o all_o his_o work_n first_o for_o himself_o and_o then_o for_o us._n whence_o it_o follow_v that_o whatsoever_o fashion_n attire_n or_o ornament_n do_v spot_n or_o stain_v the_o glory_n of_o god_n the_o gospel_n of_o god_n or_o our_o holy_a profession_n that_o be_v unwarrantable_a and_o unlawful_a 3._o the_o three_o rule_n concern_v god_n be_v that_o no_o ornament_n may_v be_v use_v to_o correct_v god_n workmanship_n which_o even_o a_o skilful_a artificer_n will_v take_v ill_a at_o any_o man_n hand_n it_o be_v
