god_n word_n but_o it_o be_v against_o none_o of_o these_o and_o therefore_o it_o be_v not_o unlawful_a in_o itself_o to_o do_v they_o if_o therefore_o it_o be_v lawful_a to_o do_v they_o before_o they_o be_v command_v certain_o it_o be_v lawful_a after_o for_o since_o god_n have_v make_v it_o our_o duty_n to_o obey_v the_o command_n of_o our_o superior_n their_o command_n can_v make_v that_o unlawful_a which_o be_v lawful_a before_o but_o if_o nothing_o be_v to_o be_v do_v but_o what_o be_v command_v in_o scripture_n express_o in_o every_o particular_a circumstance_n we_o shall_v never_o find_v the_o true_a worship_n of_o god_n either_o in_o geneva_n or_o scotland_n or_o amsterdam_n itself_o therefore_o the_o sum_n be_v this_o the_o saint_n and_o martyr_n of_o old_a never_o suffer_v for_o disobedience_n in_o thing_n indifferent_a god_n have_v no_o where_o prohibit_v our_o obedience_n in_o such_o thing_n though_o we_o see_v no_o reason_n why_o they_o shall_v be_v command_v for_o himself_o have_v be_v please_v to_o appoint_v such_o thing_n as_o do_v not_o appear_v to_o be_v natural_o necessary_a and_o likewise_o his_o servant_n even_o under_o the_o gospel_n and_o he_o have_v reward_v such_o obedience_n he_o have_v also_o command_v obedience_n to_o every_o ordinance_n of_o man_n those_o thing_n before_o they_o be_v ordinance_n be_v in_o themselves_o lawful_a and_o therefore_o be_v so_o after_o because_o the_o command_n can_v make_v they_o otherwise_o for_o he_o that_o command_v they_o be_v appoint_v by_o god_n to_o this_o very_a end_n that_o he_o may_v command_v therefore_o it_o plain_o appear_v that_o there_o be_v a_o necessity_n of_o subjection_n in_o thing_n indifferent_a we_o must_v needs_o be_v subject_a but_o wherein_o lie_v the_o necessity_n this_o be_v the_o second_o thing_n which_o i_o come_v now_o to_o treat_v of_o how_o it_o be_v necessary_a that_o we_o be_v subject_a in_o thing_n indifferent_a and_o before_o we_o weigh_v those_o argument_n that_o prove_v this_o we_o must_v consider_v that_o it_o be_v impossible_a to_o perform_v the_o worship_n of_o god_n without_o such_o thing_n as_o before_o they_o be_v command_v be_v indifferent_a the_o whole_a world_n both_o christian_n jew_n and_o heathen_n agree_v upon_o this_o that_o god_n be_v to_o be_v worship_v but_o at_o what_o time_n in_o what_o place_n with_o what_o circumstance_n be_v not_o general_o agree_v upon_o whether_o on_o the_o last_o or_o first_o day_n of_o the_o week_n whether_o in_o a_o private_a house_n or_o in_o a_o public_a place_n set_v apart_o for_o that_o purpose_n whether_o sit_v or_o stand_v or_o kneel_v be_v indifferent_a till_o the_o law_n of_o god_n or_o man_n have_v determine_v but_o at_o some_o of_o these_o time_n in_o some_o of_o these_o place_n with_o some_o of_o these_o ceremony_n the_o worship_n of_o god_n must_v be_v perform_v and_o there_o be_v no_o man_n that_o exclaim_v against_o a_o ceremony_n but_o be_v his_o own_o accuser_n if_o he_o ever_o say_v his_o prayer_n for_o he_o must_v either_o use_v the_o ceremony_n of_o stand_v or_o sit_v 14.35_o luke_n 18.11_o act_n 9.40.20.36.21.5_o mark_v 14.35_o or_o if_o he_o can_v stoop_v so_o low_a of_o kneel_v or_o lie_v prostrate_a and_o one_o of_o these_o be_v as_o much_o a_o ceremony_n as_o another_o he_o that_o stand_v as_o stiff_a as_o the_o pharisee_fw-mi be_v as_o ceremonious_a as_o he_o that_o kneel_v with_o the_o apostle_n lie_v prostrate_a like_o our_o saviour_n and_o in_o some_o of_o these_o ceremony_n the_o worship_n of_o god_n must_v be_v perform_v and_o since_o any_o of_o they_o be_v as_o lawful_a as_o the_o other_o the_o superior_a may_v appoint_v which_o he_o in_o reason_n and_o conscience_n think_v fit_v and_o in_o so_o do_v he_o command_v nothing_o unlawful_a and_o therefore_o we_o must_v be_v subject_a to_o either_o which_o he_o shall_v appoint_v and_o that_o first_o because_o god_n have_v so_o command_v which_o questionless_a be_v of_o itself_o a_o sufficient_a obligation_n though_o alone_o and_o he_o that_o will_v deny_v that_o god_n have_v so_o command_v must_v first_o erase_n many_o place_n of_o scripture_n for_o god_n have_v as_o plain_o therein_o command_v honour_v your_o father_n and_o mother_n and_o obey_v those_o that_o have_v the_o rule_n over_o you_o as_o he_o have_v say_v thou_o shall_v have_v none_o other_o
