as_o a_o ancient_a matron_n grave_o and_o honourable_o bring_v unto_o her_o grave_n and_o therefore_o the_o apostle_n do_v bear_v with_o they_o yet_o they_o will_v never_o suffer_v the_o ceremony_n of_o the_o gentile_n to_o be_v keep_v and_o reject_v they_o as_o be_v unworthy_a of_o any_o thing_n but_o to_o be_v cast_v into_o a_o hole_n and_o such_o be_v the_o ceremony_n of_o the_o papist_n many_o of_o they_o be_v borrow_v from_o the_o gentile_n as_o the_o holy_a water_n etc._n etc._n and_o therefore_o this_o place_n be_v a_o sufficient_a hammer_n to_o batter_v in_o piece_n all_o man_n ordinance_n for_o see_v god_n ordinance_n have_v give_v place_n much_o more_o they_o a_o second_o reason_n against_o these_o ceremony_n be_v for_o that_o those_o thing_n which_o they_o put_v holiness_n in_o do_v perish_v with_o the_o use_n of_o they_o for_o the_o meat_n go_v into_o the_o 17._o math._n 15._o 17._o stomach_n and_o after_o into_o the_o draught_n as_o our_o saviour_n speak_v

of_o no_o profit_n especial_o be_v the_o ordinance_n of_o man_n objection_n objection_n be_v not_o outward_a thing_n profitable_a because_o they_o perish_v with_o the_o use_n what_o say_v you_o of_o the_o water_n in_o baptism_n &_o bread_n &_o wine_n in_o the_o lord_n supper_n be_v they_o not_o for_o the_o strengthen_n of_o the_o faith_n &_o c_o and_o yet_o they_o perish_v with_o the_o use_n for_o if_o a_o man_n do_v not_o eat_v after_o they_o shall_v not_o live_v answer_n answer_v howsoever_o they_o perish_v that_z they_o be_v the_o commandment_n not_o of_o man_n but_o of_o god_n and_o therefore_o he_o give_v the_o blessing_n unto_o they_o which_o he_o have_v ordain_v they_o for_o and_o therefore_o they_o be_v profitable_a unto_o we_o to_o assure_v we_o in_o the_o mercy_n of_o god_n in_o christ_n whereas_o other_o thing_n which_o be_v man_n device_n be_v not_o objection_n after_o the_o apostle_n meet_v with_o a_o objection_n which_o may_v be_v make_v of_o these_o ceremony_n 1._o we_o do_v these_o thing_n which_o indeed_o be_v the_o doctrine_n of_o man_n but_o can_v we_o do_v too_o much_o unto_o god_n for_o when_o we_o do_v any_o thing_n of_o our_o own_o will_n we_o shall_v declare_v our_o dutifulnesse_n unto_o god_n for_o if_o a_o servant_n be_v command_v to_o tresh_v a_o quarter_n a_o day_n and_o he_o do_v a_o quarter_n and_o half_a shall_v he_o be_v condemn_v so_o do_v we_o answer_n this_o have_v but_o a_o show_n of_o reason_n and_o wisdom_n solution_n solution_n whereas_o there_o be_v none_o for_o why_o do_v the_o servant_n more_o than_o he_o be_v appoint_v it_o be_v because_o his_o master_n know_v not_o how_o much_o he_o be_v able_a to_o do_v but_o god_n be_v infinite_o wise_a and_o appoint_v every_o man_n his_o task_n as_o he_o be_v able_a and_o none_o ought_v to_o go_v beyond_o and_o therefore_o howsoever_o we_o may_v exceed_v man_n commandment_n and_o please_v they_o and_o do_v well_o yet_o it_o be_v not_o so_o with_o god_n here_o than_o we_o see_v the_o abhominablenesse_n of_o the_o work_n of_o supererogation_n that_o a_o man_n can_v go_v beyond_o the_o performance_n of_o the_o commandment_n of_o god_n whereas_o none_o be_v able_a to_o perform_v the_o least_o aright_o this_o be_v a_o detestable_a thing_n question_n 2_o another_o objection_n it_o be_v of_o humility_n to_o crouch_v to_o these_o ceremony_n and_o be_v it_o not_o a_o

to_o the_o idol_n which_o be_v a_o abominable_a humility_n and_o baseness_n and_o a_o pride_n in_o that_o they_o rise_v up_o against_o god_n commandment_n 3_o object_n this_o be_v to_o tame_v the_o

thus_o the_o wretched_a abuse_n of_o the_o papist_n in_o their_o fasting_n and_o jesuite_n in_o whip_v themselves_o be_v a_o detestable_a thing_n unto_o god_n as_o in_o the_o priest_n of_o ball._n but_o that_o humiliation_n which_o be_v by_o a_o diligent_a and_o careful_a walk_n and_o labour_v in_o our_o call_n to_o the_o end_n that_o by_o idleness_n the_o body_n be_v not_o puff_v up_o be_v a_o

of_o our_o saviour_n christ_n again_o the_o apostle_n say_v howsoever_o they_o seem_v yet_o say_v he_o these_o be_v nothing_o worth_a for_o howsoever_o in_o time_n of_o affliction_n of_o the_o
