it selfe therefore Ephraim thy glory decayes yea flies away like a bird there is none that do sincerely reverence thee gray haires are upon thee though thou consider it not Doe not all men see that thou hast nothing but devices meere tricks of wit though never so dishonest to defend their owne Invention many altars thou doest make great shewes of devotion and exceeding care of religion thou doest pretend but all that thou doest is to defend thy sinne even to gaine estimation to thy carnall devices which haue no warrant from the Lord nay those that dare not comforme to thy Canons or courses because the great things of Gods law written in the Scriptures doe not require it for all other writings are small in respect of these and and to bee regarded but as trifles thou countest them strange men it being a strange thing with thee to loose any thing for Christs sake but to forsake their livings and liberties to loose their Credits and reputations rather then to conforme to these humane Inventions yea thereby to expose themselues by their deprivation to open cōtempt miserable povertie bands and imprisonment seemes to be one of the strangest wonders of the world that any of sound iudgment should euer haue so little wit in them thus doest thou glorifie thy self though thou committest iniquity in Gilgal for there is the cause why the Lord doth hate thee even for the wickednesse of thine Inventions in his worship which there thou hast set up in great pomp state therefore will the Lord cast thee out of his house or Church because all they spiritual Lords or princes are Rebels iustifying these carnall devises against the plaine evidence of the scripture Increasing daily errors and lies which in the end will be their own Destruction which yet they hope to prevent by making a covenant or contract with Ashur and carrying oyle into Egypt Refining and so refreshing their old Imagerie with new painted devices yet thou feedest thy selfe with this winde and art very confident that these secret and hidden plots of thy close and subtill fetches shall maintaine thy greatnesse though thou grow gracelesse perswading Christians yea compelling some to conforme to offer uncleane bread upon the Lords Altar and yet would haue us subscribe that this is not contrary to the word of God And in great disdaine they demand wherein haue wee polluted the Lord or the worship or seruice of God alas when you presse vs to a gesture at the Lords owne table which is not warranted by the word do you not say or directly inferre the table of the Lord is not to be regarded for it matters not what gesture we vse no say you though our ceremonies be lame and our callings blind and our gestures sicke yet it is no euill for they are ordeined and haue been long established by publick decree to be the offrings and sacrifices of the Lord and therfore ought with all reverent respect to be conformed unto of all rather then to disturbe the quiet possession and peace of the Church which by a strong hand these armed men haue obtained and keepe as the onelie entrance or rather maintenance of their glorious pallaces Is it no matter then for the outward worship so the inward bee intended and professed to be good and sound why do you then condemne the papists for taking away the second commandement quite out of the table and you letting it stand take the effect quite away giue them but the same libertie which your selves exercise and they will quickly agree with you for the substance of that which is inward I warrant you for who can udge the mentall reservation and you require no more but an outward profession and subscription at least though you teach the necessity of inward sinceritie yet your own practises doe manifest that the other without this will serue the turne wel enough but be pleased I pray you if any thing possibly be able to satisfie you to heare the Lords own answer go your wayes and when you haue any purpose to shew your loue and tender your service yea in a most speciall manner unto your prince offer him such presents will he bee content with thee or accept thy person saith the Lord of hosts yea when thou invitest thy friends or neighbours to thy own table do but serue them with such dainties and diet-bread and marke how they like it nay see if thy horse will not blow upon it and refuse it though perhaps thy greedy dogges or grunting hogges will accept it yea though neither side were ever baked on the hearth yet you teach and preach you professe and perswade and spend a great deale of time which you had need to redeeme by many long and as you thinke learned arguments and wise reasons to proue that this is good enough for the Lord that is that he will verily accept such a publicke worship and service at our hands though no body haue any care to shut the doores to make due triall of that which is brought for an offering as these things in controversie whether it ought to enter into the Lords house as being commanded or required by him or whether it bee the meere invention or wil-worship of men and so what goodly and golden shewes soever it make to haue the doores shut against it and not to offer abhomination before the Lord but come who will come and bring with him what hee will though it be not according to the commandement and holy ordinance yet if he will but come and conforme presently you receiue him and most readily kindle a fire and offer up that which he hath brought though there be never so evidēt appearance similitude or likenesse of Idolatry in it Is not this directly to worship God in vaine even to kindle a fire vpon his altar to no purpose yea you grow weary of the Lords own ordinances they doe not giue full content to your senses and therefore yee snuffe at them as being too base for your greatnesse wanting pompe and state and I know not what and approue rather of any thing never so absurd ridiculous and popish even that which is torne lame and sick should I accept this of your hand saith the Lord but cursed be the deceaver you that haue my servants the males in your flocks whom I haue fullie quallified to make the truth of these things known and who haue faithfullie spoken my word in my name and in this behalfe and will depriue them and purposely maintaine though if need require you know how to make shew of the cleane contrarie Brokers of Corrupt doctrines perswaders to and defendors of unwarrantable ceremonies callings and gestures and so deall deceitfullie with the Lords people in these great things of his law or publick worship teaching them in steed of these to sacrifice unto the Lord a corrupt thing you I say shall certeinly bee
onely in some damnable poynts of Machiavelisme Mahometisme Poperie or Arianisme but continually even in all things especially much more in those that concerne the worship service of God till he have opened their vnderstandings To Conform then to any thing of Religious use without warrant from Gods word though learned and wise men yea grave and godly preachers are verily perswaded that rather theÌ„ the Churches should be untaught or Christians want and be deprived of the sacrament and other exercises of Religion wee very safely may so do is absolutely notwithstanding the sayd opinion of very worthy men to conforme to Evill Therefore it were far better for the true Churches of Christ in this case to bee driven into the wildernes so deprived of all publick visibility in the world for even there is a place prepared of God yea they shall verily be fed there then thus by conforming to Incerteinties and Novelties to bee either quite starved or most grosly infected Every thing therefore of Religious use which hath not warrant from the word of God is directly Evill and to contend and to be zealous for it is to goe a whoring after our own Inventions But here it may be sayd there is as much verrue reverence and deuotion if the affections bee rightly ordred in one gesture as in another in that of kneeling as in a table gesture and so in the other questioned Ceremonies as well as in any other whatsoeuer Sureâ—y matters being simply considered by them selues and so compared together these men speak to verie good sence and reason yea with verie great iudgement and vnderstanding but yet The things which God himself hath purified or set apart for Religions uses let no man pollute or seperate by mixing any humane inventions therewith And from the Contrarie let no man 〈…〉 urifie or enioyne for religious vse in the worship of God any thing which not being warranted in the word God hath polluted for they may as well defend and that with as good colour and shew of naturall reason and humane vnderstanding that there is as much divine vertue in beere ale or water as in wine in the sacrament and therefore also rather then to breake the peace of the church in which wee liue and not to haue the blessed sacrament administred ministers and people were better to coÌ„form subscribe to the vse of them if they in like manner should be inioyned And with as good probabilitie they may avow there was as much vertue in any other rodd as in that which was in the hand of moyses and in any other salt as in that wherewith the prophet healed the waters yet at the verie best this is but a meere carnall or a prowd Syrians argument and though it seeme verie probable yea and to some the more they ponder on it the more vnanswerable it is yet is it exceedingly leaprous and infections To make which good let them be pleased to consider the argument and maner thereof which in the verie like case the lord him self framed and pressed yea and purposely noâ— contingently but in the most absolute perfection of his divine wisedome committed the same not to tradition but to writing for the use and direction of all posterity in the like occasions to be their president for ever For the whole Scripture and therefore also this part is given by inspiration of God and is profitable to teach and defend all truth which is to be conformed unto either concerning faith or godlinesse and to convince or disproue all errour for doctrine or ceremonie to correct all vice and to instruct in all righteousnesse and therefore why should I feare to professe that I verily beleeue that even this place which I urge and every other portion of sacred writ was even therefore written that we might beleeue that Iesus is the Christ being some way helpfull thereunto and that in beleeving wee might haue life tbrough his name as helping much therefore for the confirmation of our faith in the holy Scriptures absolute and most perfect sufficiency and for the assuring of our hearts that wee may not conforme to any thing of religious use in the publicke worship of God but what is truely grounded on them Marke I pray you reverently and religiously the true reason why Nadab and Abihu were so fearefully and miraculously consumed and devoured would not the fire thinke you which they brought in their Censors haue serued well enough to haue burnt up the incence was there not as much naturall vertue in that fire and as sufficient power in any mans reason to performe that service as in any other yea and as in that which was upon the Altar yes verily no indifferent man that heares and knowes the matter will say otherwise why then what need the Lord to haue made so exceeding much adoe about a little fire or others about a poore gesture as if the very foundations of religion had thereby been grievously shaken Fire must be absolutely had and so they use it reverently and carry themselues decently and orderly and here is no mention to the contrary what can any peaceable minded man say against them Even this is said against them by the Lord himselfe the very God of peace They put fire what which the Lord had forbidden No the Lord purposely refuses to reason in that manner to make us able to meet our adversaries in the gate and saith Tbey offered strange fire before the Lord that was a strange and remarkable presumption indeed and full worthy of a strange and remarkable punishment to teach all posteritie for ever whether Councels or Churches particular or generall to take speciall heed that they never presume to bring any strange fire strange gestures strange callings or strange ceremonies into the publick worship and divine service of our most holy and iealous God especially in the cleare sun-shine of the Gospell But was this fire made by Philosophy Alchimy or Necromancy For then it must needs be confessed that this were a very foule fault in any and most worthy of deprivation ipso facto No such matter how shall we then know which fire or callings which ceremonies or gestures are strange that we may take heed whatsoever come of it wee never conforme unto them seeing Nadab and Abihu and men of eminent place and excellent parts doe stand very confidently for the absolute lawfulnesse yea and direct fitnesse of these things of this nature questioned amongst us Lord open thou our eyes that we may see these wonderfull things in thy Law To help us in this case against all cuÌ„ning questionists subtill disputers which the Lord foresaw would even pester this last age of the world he is pleased to speake in words and sillables that the simplest may understand if they will not stop their eares and most easily discerne if they will nâ—t winke with their eyes and saith in
livings and liberty but even of their lives also And till this the other lawes of Christ ordeined in the second commandement bee in force all the good that the most wholesome lawes of most godly princes and Religious states can effect is onely to make Ambition a little more wary and subtill more Cawtelous and dissembling or else more arrogant even to devise new and more secret practises to hinder all means or purposes of reforming any thing in the worship or Church of God yea by proposing one thing or other by one or other to have still in store such variety of fresh and most urgent occasions as there shall not bee the least breathing time so much as to think of Reformation Much crying out there is and that iustly of fearful depopulations how can it be otherwise seeing the howse of God lieth waste and is troden vnder foot his faithfull ministers suspended his faithfull seruants traduced and censured Gods ordinances neglected and mens Inventions erected Clients do greivously complain of delaies altring of orders reuersing of Iudgments and the like so that poore souls they cannot tel wheÌ„ they are sure of any thing they haue or that their suits wil receiue an end VVoe is me for them but how can this be ameÌ„ded seing the publick worship of God is so â—ul of direct Incerteinties and absolute Nouelties One sayes they are indifferent and may be tollerated another comes and proues them necessary because they are commanded by humane authority but at last starts one up and with his divino Iure makes all club sure that there is not a a word now to bee uttered against conformity to them thus look what is sowen in the first table will bring forth fruit in the branches of the second VVhoredom and drunkenes do euery where abound yea are grown to be but civill recreations and doth not superstitious Atheisme adulterate the holy things of God yea is it possible but that base and beastly gestures and and Carnall ceremonies in Gods publick worship will fill the civill estate full of all uncleanesse and bastardies is it not become the glory of many to sporte with Religion even to scoffe at sinceritie and to ierke and gybe at the upright in heart haue not the bastard poets and players and like profane humours a great pride to be singuler in this pastine Theft and deceite oppression and cousenage are growen to be great trades and professed occupations and can all the world tell how to mend it till the spirituall theeves who have securely made their dens in the very house of God bee driven from their unlawfull Callings and courses great lamentation is made as for a most evill presage that offices of Iustice are bought and sould must not such of necessity proceed accordingly even for hyre or reward but doth not the buying of all spirituall promotions Iustifie and cleare all such Courses But to come to you that have so painfully searched all the words and sillables of Christ not to find out that which hee hath commanded which is the study and meditation of all that are sincere in hart and therefore the whole word of God is often called the coÌ„mandements of God inferring directly that there ought to be no coÌ„formity to any thing but to that which is commanded but to see what he hath not forbidden for therein lies all the perill are not these thinke you worthy subjects that never care for not so much what their soveraine Lord would haue done as very curiously inquire most painfully search out what he hath forbidden that so being out of his reach and danger they may follow their own devices If any man will not conforme to their precepts how is he reproched and Reviled but to speak against the lawfulnesse of them is pettie treason I hartely pray them therefore to consider from the Lords own mouth whether it bee not high presumption to speake a word ministerially which he hath not commanded suppose hee hath not forbidden it in particular or expresse terms yet doth hee not directly in the former vers requiâ—e absolute obedience to whatsoever that great Prophet and sheepheard of our soules shall teach us and doth hee not most plainly forbid upon paine of death in this verse to teach any thing which in the word hee hath not commanded How dare you then oh you men of learning how dare you I say hazard your pretious souls in conforming to such things doe not object that you haue good warrant from the word so to do because you are commanded to acknowledge them that are over you and labour among you for I confesse wee must have them in singular loue for their works sake so it bee in the Lord yea if they teach no thing but what hee hath commanded them we will obey submit and conforme unto them but if they will preach and presse things which Christ never commanded though they cover them in sheeps cloathing even with words full of all excellent wisdome and admirable learning able to ravish the hearers and to entise any man that hath reason and understanding and is able to Iudge wisely and discreetly of matters to conforme unto them yet not being in plain evidence of the spirit and of power wee must esteeme of them as wolues and false prophets rather watching all opportunity to maintaine their pompe state and glory and to feed their own bellies by this conformitie then to feed the flocks or churches of Christ over which he hath made them overseers If they say they are greatlie wronged by such imputations and no man whosoever dare iustifie this to their faces for my part I confesse it will bee much against my will if ever I come before them but yet as good a man as great a scoller as wise as worthy as holy and as godly though perhaps not so great and Lordly as any of them be hath so taught and preached and I will beleeve him before all of them yea I will set down his own words whatsoever come of it and will not alter one sillable beware of fals prophets alas how can wee tell which are they you shall know them by their fruits or doctrine which they teach which not being the commandements of God are absolutelie evill even of a woolvish and devouring disposition in all the Churches of Christ for the word or comandements of God or writings of the holy Ghost were sufficient to teach Timothy a man not much inferiour to the most of them for the inward glory of the soule how to behaue himself in the house of God which is the Church of the living God even what doctrins to teach what callings ceremonies and gestures to presse conformitie unto if then in their cannons or constitutions they will behaue themselves otherwise then the word doth require can there possiblie bee any safetie in conformitie to them And as this concerns all our teachers so our blessed Lord
are to bee esteemed vaineglorious teachers though their mouths even runne over whith all manner of art eloquence and learning And as for those that preach any thing which God hath not commaunded or perswade to conforme to any thing which is not grounded on the scriptures from these words of Saint Peter wee may safely esteeme them whether they speake elegantly or rudely but fabulous fellowes and Deceiueable doctors in taking vpon them like young masters or old Rabbies to teach defend or maintaine any thing in Gods worship which Christ the sole Doctor of all thinges whatsoeuer of Religious vse and which his Churches vpon any cause and in any respect may conform vnto neuer commanded taught or in the scriptures published or so much as once mentioned by precept or president yea obserue them wel and take heed of them these are the teachers of false Christs for they may as well teach that here is Christ or loe he is there as presse Christians to coÌ„forme to this ceremonie or that gesture of religious use in the publicke worship of God which Christ neither here nor there nor any where ever taught or in any degree or respect commanded so that if you heare any preachers teahing things with great zeale and learning which are not the direct commandements of Christ or grounded plainly in the evidence of the spirit upon the unerring rocke of the sacred Scripture I will not deny but such may speake in the power of a Spirit but certainly not of Gods Spirit For he even the Spirit of truth teaches nothing of himselfe though he be the very fountaine of all truth but onely what he hath heard in the word of the Father not that he needs any instructer or direction but that the most glorius and blessed Trinitie as the sole and onely way to preserue all true Churches or congregations in holy and heavenly unitie hath tied himselfe as it were or covenanted that though there be many other things of most admirable excellencie yet to require conformitie to nothing but those things which are written in the scriptures seeing they are fully and perfectlie sufficient unto faith or beliefe and therefore unto all manner of godlinesse the fruits of faith and so to eternall life the end or reward of faith through his name If any man therfore undertake to teach the Churches of Christ let him speake as the words of God and not as the cannons and precepts of men do enioyne for as God is glorified by those so is hee much dishonoured by these yea though they speak the wisdom of this world which the great ones Commend the learned approue and all doe generallie admire for the kingdom of God or preaching consists not in word in phrases in elegancie of speach excellencie of uttrance or in any other endowments of Art nature but in the evidence of the spirit of power when the cosciences of the hearers by the right handling of the word shall bee wrought upoÌ„ by making manifest the verie secrets of their hearts and so enforced to humble their souls and worship God and confesse not that great learning or reading is in the preacher but plainlie that God is in that ministerie indeed because it casteth down and doth not lift up as the word or doctrine of men doth because their manner of teaching is meerly carnall euen such as is approved by men but not warranted by the word strong holds or the Imaginations and Inventions of men which in a high degree do exalt themselves against the knowledge of God even against those doctrines of ceremonies callings gestures which God hath made known in the word and set mens thoughts and consciences at libertie from the obedience of Christ according to the scriptures concerning these things onelie under pretence of not being forbidden and so by their conformitie to that which Christ hath not commanded doe most strongly repaire and fortifie tâ—ose strong holds of humane devices concerning voluntary religions or ceremonies which the Lord by all meanes labours as being the greatest hinderers of the peace of his kingdome and fosterers of his rebellious enemies to haue utterlie ruinated yea and as Christ hath ordained to sanctifie and cleanse his Church by the obedience of faith which is the true conformitie of the doctrines of the word so these men by pressing conformitie to ceremonies callings and gestures which haue no warrant in the word do directly intimate though they pretend the cleane contrarie that their religion is but a doctrine of the tongue and not of the reformation of the life For if they subscribe and haue understanding of the heauenly doctrines and be able to retaine them in memorie and so at a trice can discourse or reason of them then are they absolutely qualified and excellent Divines though they make no conscience of that which they know and professe further then they see cause so indeed do most beastly pollute and by plain intimation both of their doctrine and life perswade their hearers to defile the Church of Christ and to take away the beautie glorie of it which is to be free froÌ„ human inventions to fill it with all horrible spots and wrinkles of worldly traditions that so it may never be holy but full of blame Are you not ashamed you deceitfull guides to cast abroad these firebrands and mortall insinuations in your lectures sermons or writings coÌ„versations and yet protest you meane no hurt is not your fiery heat in these courses a fained madnes or doe you make any more conscience thereof then of your play or sporte Yea say they our purpose in so doing is to do much good for we teach presse that in this conformitie which we so perswade unto every one should come with a good honest heart to perform these actions gestures withal for that is it which the Lord requires yea hee will passe by much infirmitie where he findes true sinceritie So that belike if men seem to haue good affections that shall be sufficient warraÌ„t to iustifie any strange or vncommanded gesture or ceremonie in the publicke worship of God yea though it be never so wickd at least in appearance and Idolatrous an action yet if they meane well and beleeue as the Church beleeues that these things are indifferent and lawfull or not forbidden all shall be exceeding well and what I pray you if the Iewes with good and honest hartes even sincerely purposing and verely intending to winne them vnto God do marrie wyues of Ashdod Amon and Moab dare you say these mariages are lawfull or can their Children euer possibly for all this good meaning speake the language of Canaan sincerely or trewly no verely though you charge them vpon paine of death to prepare them selues therevnto neuer so hartely yet doe you but presse them to a thing impossible be not wiser then God least it
for if once you sit downe or settle your selues with resolution to proue the lawfulnesse of the seates of these scorners or money-changers you are neere vnto cursing and farre from the blessing yea the Lord thinking upon his congregation which he hath possessed of old and on the rod of his inheritance which he hath redeemed and measured out for himselfe and on mount Syon wherein hee hath dwelt will verily lift up his strokes and destroy for ever every enemy that doth evill to the Sanctuarie Even so be it Lord Iesus If true Religion onely knits our heart unto God and all false Religions seperate our hearts from God then whatsoeuer is of Religious use and to be conformed unto in Gods publick worship must be true that is truely grounded in the word of God or else it separats us from God But true Religion doth onely knit our hearts unto God c. and the gesture of kneeling as it is urged being of Religious use and to be conformd unto in Gods publick worship is not true that is not truely grounded on the word of God Therefore to Conforme to kneeling as it is urged is to separate from God All feare or Religion towards God not taught by the Scripturs but by the precepts of men remooues the heart farre from God yea the defence and justifying hereof workes great wonders and marvels the wisedom of such wise men shall perish and the understanding of their prudent men shall bee hid Esa 29. 13 14. TO THE CHVRCH OF GREAT BRITtaine in generall or to the severall congregations or Churches therein in particular being the true visible Churches of Christ grace peace bee multiplied for ever IT is not vnknown how vtterly vnlawful yea altogether impossible it is to serue or conforme to two masters as also that by our fall in Adam we haue not onely forsaken our first master of Creation who in our innocent estate did immediatly direct teach and leade vs into all truth but haue betaken vs to a new master whose Inventions or nouelties we did most voluntarily subscribe vnto euen Satan who now doth immediately in the estate of nature guide and leade all the children of men as well in the Church as out of it into all falsitie and error in all things concerning God and his Church and yet also how euerie one naturally doth most willingly though some perhaps more wisely or learnedly and others more vilely and desperately yeeld their hartie obedience vnto him though not in their purpose and intention yet at least in error of their Iudgment and corrupted resolution For the vnderstanding being vtterly blinded we think in our reason wisdome and learning that to be certe 〈…〉 ly good which is directly euill that to be cleare light which is Egiptian darknes that to be the service of God which is the apparant worship of Deuills and so think and are verely perswaded our master to be God when in verie trueth it is Satan True it is that wisdome discretion learning and many other excellent parts and gifts yea euen in heavenly things nature may and doth still by industrie attaine vnto but the sauing or sanctfying graces of God which bring the heart vnto Christ that new or renewing master are supernaturall euen the immediate worke of the holy ghost whose schollers or seruants euerie one of necessity must be that will be saued and thus farre I take it is agrreed on all sydes in all our Churches or congregations For I speak to none but to such among vs as professe thēselues to be the schollers of Christ now being matriculated or by the blessed sacrament of holy Baptisme Initiated into the schoole or corporation or bodie of our Lord and Saviour Iesus Christ I humbly beseech euerie one that doth sincerely purpose euer to take the lest degree of true holines or sanctification without which no man shal see God seriously to consider what books whether historical propheticall politicall poeticall or Euangelicall or authours as they terme them must here to this purpose be learned and professed and these are all bound vp together in one volume of the canonicall sacred or inspired scriptures and for their excellencie called the Bible all other writers or authors diffring from these in any thing concerning God or his worship by teaching or pressing some things which are not truly grounded vpon these are to bee esteemed books of our second master therefore to be accursed how honest or holy soever their intention or drift pretends or seems to be yea of most absolute necessitie it followes that all who do upon any terms learne their lessons from thence and so conforme unto them do thereby conforme unto Satan who of all men in their wits is acknowledged to be the author and teacher of all lessons or doctrines concerning religious ceremonies callings or gestures in the worship of God which are not in evidence and power of the holy Ghost plainly grounded upon the word of God for there bee but two masters who are by Christ opposed the one to the other All trueth therefore is to be learned of the one and to be collected or gathered onely out of his books or sacred writings even from God to whom onely wee must giue credit in his word for oportet discente credere whatsoever then is learned elsewhere must needs bee from that other master as the proper lessons of his open and free schoole wherin yet wee confesse all the excellencies of of all arts and all the deepenesse of learning do abound who must also in those arguments and reasons we ground or practise upon bee credited and beleeved to bee the authour of that supposed truth which we make profession of by our so doing Let us therefore bring forth those bookes or authours into the open view of the world wherein this lesson of Conformitie or refusall thereunto is taught and learned that so every Scholler may be knowne by his own Master and the authours publickly taught in his schoole Now if any be ashamed to professe that hee obayes or learnes this lesson of any other then of God then must hee either shew his warrant and authoritie out of the sacred Scriptures for the things hee professeth and practiseth in this controversie or else he plainly discovers whose scholler he is for they onely are the fountaine of trueth that which comes from them is holy and sincere but if it be grounded vpon men or Churches though ancient and orthodox in many other things yet the filthines of their channell in all matters especially of religious vse will leaue some infection behinde it Let vs therfore trie all things yea though they haue beene the receaued opinions or practises of the holiest men and purest churches in the world whose iudgment yet is highly to be reuerenced though it differ from ours till the worde of God do euidently to our consciences dicide the Controuersie and keepe or conforme to that onely in the divine service
