affair_n but_o not_o in_o the_o holy_a service_n i_o will_v ask_v whether_o when_o any_o man_n have_v make_v he_o a_o ordinary_a garment_n of_o some_o vestment_n use_v and_o dedicate_v to_o idolatry_n it_o be_v not_o lawful_a for_o he_o to_o go_v to_o the_o church_n in_o such_o garment_n and_o to_o hear_v divine_a service_n and_o if_o lawful_a for_o he_o to_o hear_v why_o not_o for_o the_o

civil_a magistrate_n for_o the_o common_a good_a may_v abridge_v our_o liberty_n in_o thing_n indifferent_a as_o for_o instance_n it_o be_v lawful_a for_o a_o man_n to_o use_v any_o trade_n but_o for_o the_o common_a good_a it_o may_v be_v enact_v that_o no_o man_n may_v use_v or_o set_v up_o a_o trade_n for_o the_o which_o he_o have_v not_o serve_v certain_a year_n and_o also_o that_o no_o

our_o weak_a brother_n now_o he_o be_v to_o be_v account_v the_o weak_a one_o who_o be_v yet_o ignorant_a of_o christian_a liberty_n and_o yet_o willing_a to_o learn_v as_o the_o jew_n of_o who_o

be_v confirm_v by_o the_o practice_n of_o the_o apostle_n who_o for_o a_o time_n bear_v with_o circumcision_n purification_n vow_n etc._n etc._n namely_o till_o the_o gospel_n and_o the_o doctrine_n of_o christian_a liberty_n be_v sufficient_o and_o full_o publish_v by_o they_o and_o yet_o there_o ought_v to_o be_v a_o great_a difference_n put_v between_o the_o weak_a jew_n and_o such_o among_o we_o who_o will_v sometime_o pretend_v weakness_n because_o the_o jew_n have_v direct_a command_n from_o god_n for_o that_o which_o they_o do_v but_o we_o have_v nothing_o to_o ground_n upon_o but_o their_o own_o conceit_n so_o that_o it_o may_v be_v question_v whether_o among_o we_o after_o so_o much_o teach_v any_o be_v to_o be_v account_v weak_a to_o make_v this_o plain_a by_o a_o instance_n some_o man_n be_v offend_v at_o the_o fashion_n or_o colour_n of_o my_o garment_n what_o shall_v i_o do_v i_o must_v discreet_o and_o gentle_o inform_v he_o of_o my_o liberty_n render_v he_o a_o reason_n ground_v upon_o the_o word_n if_o he_o will_v still_o be_v offend_v then_o it_o be_v not_o weakness_n but_o perverseness_n and_o peevishness_n such_o be_v not_o a_o little_a one_o 18.6_o matth._n 18.6_o which_o must_v be_v regard_v for_o little_a one_o will_v easy_o be_v persuade_v if_o a_o plain_a countryman_n come_v to_o the_o court_n and_o see_v the_o rich_a apparel_n of_o noble_n and_o their_o fashion_n shall_v be_v offend_v shall_v the_o prince_n and_o noble_n abstain_v from_o such_o apparel_n for_o his_o offence_n no_o but_o he_o be_v rather_o to_o be_v correct_v and_o teach_v to_o keep_v himself_o within_o his_o bound_n a_o inferior_a be_v no_o meet_a censurer_n or_o judge_n of_o the_o colour_n fashion_n cost_n of_o the_o garment_n of_o their_o superior_n a_o

we_o may_v use_v our_o christian_a liberty_n before_o they_o which_o know_v it_o before_o they_o which_o know_v it_o not_o our_o knowledge_n be_v sufficient_a our_o use_n be_v forbid_v and_o we_o
