of_o the_o lord_n supper_n he_o only_o deliver_v what_o he_o have_v receive_v of_o the_o lord_n so_o even_o as_o to_o that_o small_a of_o matter_n the_o length_n and_o fashion_n of_o the_o hair_n do_v

that_o in_o place_n of_o establish_v true_a christian_a liberty_n which_o you_o seem_v here_o to_o assert_v it_o be_v evident_a that_o you_o go_v about_o plain_o to_o set_v up_o a_o absolute_a

strange_a discourse_n on_o this_o subject_n you_o say_v then_o christ_n throne_n crown_n and_o kingdom_n be_v inward_a and_o spiritual_a not_o of_o the_o world_n nor_o as_o the_o kindom_n of_o the_o

and_o unused_a expression_n of_o a_o inward_a crown_n but_o to_o the_o question_n christ_n kingdom_n be_v indeed_o in_o its_o power_n and_o effect_n the_o restriction_n a_o little_a above_o premise_a be_v remember_v internal_a and_o spiritual_a but_o do_v it_o therefore_o follow_v that_o its_o administration_n be_v not_o external_a and_o visible_a when_o the_o lord_n declare_v all_o power_n to_o

man_n usurpation_n of_o a_o unwarrant_v tyranny_n or_o think_v you_o that_o our_o lord_n have_v only_o free_v we_o from_o moses_n imposition_n that_o we_o may_v fall_v into_o the_o hand_n of_o more_o

must_v grant_v the_o latter_a see_v the_o speciality_n of_o divine_a authority_n be_v so_o far_o from_o render_v a_o imposition_n otherways_o light_a to_o be_v burdensome_a that_o without_o question_n as_o its_o precept_n be_v the_o perfect_a law_n of_o liberty_n so_o the_o clearness_n of_o its_o warrant_n be_v the_o great_a relief_n of_o conscience_n nay_o this_o be_v a_o truth_n to_o certain_a and_o apposite_z to_o our_o present_a purpose_n that_o i_o be_o sure_a you_o be_v convince_v that_o if_o the_o prelate_n can_v produce_v divine_a command_n for_o their_o injunction_n these_o will_v

their_o ceremony_n and_o observance_n whereunto_o they_o be_v tie_v in_o practice_n and_o neither_o in_o the_o obligation_n of_o divine_a authority_n whereby_o they_o become_v bind_v nor_o yet_o in_o
