second_o foundation_n of_o your_o reason_n be_v that_o these_o diversity_n of_o vesture_n be_v invent_v of_o antichrist_n therefore_o we_o ought_v not_o only_o to_o forsake_v the_o pope_n but_o all_o his_o invention_n beside_o this_o you_o will_v have_v all_o manner_n of_o difference_n of_o vesture_n and_o apparel_n of_o minister_n to_o be_v take_v away_o wherefore_o sing_v these_o two_o be_v the_o chief_a strength_n of_o your_o argument_n i_o will_v first_o entreat_v of_o they_o afterward_o i_o will_v add_v what_o soever_o it_o be_v if_o i_o can_v call_v to_o my_o remembrance_n any_o other_o thing_n bring_v in_o of_o you_o to_o confirm_v your_o opinion_n in_o moses_n law_n or_o priesthood_n after_o aaron_n order_n there_o be_v sacrament_n with_o the_o which_o it_o please_v god_n to_o confirm_v as_o i_o may_v say_v by_o put_v his_o seal_n to_o they_o the_o promise_n make_v of_o chryst_n come_n i_o knowledge_n &_o do_v grant_v that_o all_o these_o thing_n be_v abrogate_a never_o to_o be_v bring_v in_o again_o for_o we_o believe_v that_o christ_n be_v alredye_n come_v and_o not_o that_o he_o will_v come_v and_o we_o have_v other_o seal_n in_o scripture_n delyver_v to_o we_o of_o chryste_n himself_o in_o the_o gospel_n bread_n wine_n and_o water_n therefore_o we_o need_v not_o call_v again_o sign_n for_o this_o purpose_n use_v in_o the_o old_a testament_n there_o be_v also_o in_o that_o law_n other_o sign_n &_o action_n so_o ordain_v that_o they_o can_v not_o be_v proper_o call_v sacrament_n and_o yet_o they_o have_v some_o respect_n to_o comeliness_n to_o order_n and_o to_o some_o commodity_n and_o these_o i_o judge_v may_v be_v restore_v &_o retain_v as_o thing_n agree_a to_o the_o light_n of_o nature_n and_o induce_a to_o some_o profitable_a use_n who_o do_v not_o see_v that_o the_o apostle_n to_o the_o intent_n they_o that_o beleve_v may_v live_v more_o peaceable_o and_o quiet_o do_v command_v the_o gentyle_n to_o abstain_v from_o blood_n and_o strangle_v and_o yet_o these_o thing_n without_o all_o doubt_n be_v fetch_v from_o the_o order_n of_o aaron_n if_o you_o will_v comprehend_v general_o all_o thing_n which_o be_v in_o the_o old_a

church_n throughout_o christendom_n you_o can_v not_o well_o prove_v by_o the_o scripture_n of_o the_o new_a testament_n that_o psalm_n and_o hymn_n be_v songue_n in_o the_o church_n at_o public_a service_n which_o thing_n yet_o appear_v most_o playnelye_o to_o be_v do_v in_o the_o old_a testament_n i_o will_v here_o omit_v that_o saint_n ambrose_n in_o his_o exposition_n upon_o the._n xiiii_o chapter_n of_o the_o first_o to_o the_o corinthian_n say_v most_o plain_o that_o the_o manner_n of_o prophesy_v which_o paul_n teach_v be_v deryve_v out_o of_o the_o sinagoge_n into_o our_o church_n to_o these_o i_o can_v bring_v forth_o other_o thing_n and_o that_o not_o a_o few_o in_o number_n if_o time_n suffer_v i_o to_o consider_v diligent_o the_o matter_n which_o our_o church_n have_v borrow_v out_o of_o moses_n decree_n and_o that_o i_o may_v speak_v only_o of_o holy_a day_n which_o we_o keep_v in_o memory_n of_o our_o lord_n resurrection_n birth_n and_o death_n of_o chryst_n &_o pentecost_n shall_v we_o therefore_o abolyshe_a they_o because_o they_o be_v the_o relic_n of_o the_o old_a law_n you_o see_v as_o i_o suppose_v by_o all_o these_o thing_n how_o that_o not_o all_o that_o pertain_v to_o the_o priesthood_n of_o aaron_n be_v so_o abolysh_v that_o nothing_o of_o it_o may_v be_v retain_v or_o use_v of_o we_o at_o these_o day_n nor_o here_o you_o shall_v not_o by_o and_o by_o say_v that_o this_o be_v nothing_o else_o but_o to_o open_v a_o wyndowe_n to_o all_o abuse_n as_o to_o holy_a water_n sensynge_v in_o the_o church_n and_o to_o infinite_a such_o other_o for_o the_o adversary_n will_v straight_o shape_v you_o this_o answer_n first_o of_o all_o that_o there_o must_v be_v limit_v a_o measure_n in_o any_o case_n as_o well_o of_o those_o that_o be_v

so_o it_o seem_v to_o i_o we_o must_v do_v at_o this_o time_n with_o this_o diversity_n of_o apparel_n accord_v as_o i_o declare_v my_o mind_n before_o for_o i_o will_v and_o now_o wish_v that_o

of_o the_o pope_n tyranny_n in_o this_o point_n i_o do_v not_o well_o perceyve_v how_o it_o may_v be_v affirm_v for_o a_o surety_n that_o we_o can_v use_v nothing_o that_o perteyn_v to_o the_o pope_n

the_o pope_n use_v it_o be_v very_o true_a that_o our_o forefather_n take_v the_o temple_n of_o idol_n &_o turn_v they_o into_o holy_a church_n where_o christ_n shall_v be_v worshyp_v and_o they_o

it_o to_o find_v the_o minister_n of_o the_o church_n and_o yet_o all_o these_o thing_n do_v not_o only_o seruyce_n unto_o antichrist_n but_o unto_o the_o devyll_n yea_o the_o holy_a ecclesiastical_a

if_o any_o church_n judge_n and_o have_v experience_n such_o as_o i_o doubt_v not_o there_o be_v many_o this_o day_n in_o germany_n that_o the_o use_n of_o such_o vesture_n bring_v some_o

bring_v out_o of_o the_o scripture_n why_o that_o church_n be_v not_o to_o be_v leave_v to_o her_o own_o judgement_n in_o this_o matter_n neither_o therefore_o to_o be_v contenm_v or_o to_o be_v call_v into_o question_n for_o her_o judgement_n sake_n that_o church_n very_o will_v keep_v in_o these_o thing_n a_o mean_a agreeable_a to_o the_o cross_n of_o christ_n and_o will_v diligent_o attend_v that_o no_o abuse_n creep_v into_o it_o if_o therefore_o you_o will_v not_o admit_v such_o liberty_n and_o use_n of_o vesture_n to_o this_o pure_a and_o holy_a church_n because_o they_o have_v no_o commandment_n of_o the_o lord_n nor_o no_o example_n of_o it_o i_o do_v not_o see_v how_o you_o can_v grant_v to_o any_o church_n that_o it_o may_v celebrate_v the_o lord_n supper_n in_o the_o morning_n and_o in_o a_o open_a church_n especial_o consecrate_v to_o the_o lord_n that_o the_o sacrament_n may_v be_v distribute_v to_o man_n kneel_v or_o stand_v yea_o to_o woman_n aswell_o as_o to_o man_n for_o we_o have_v receyve_v of_o these_o thing_n neither_o commandment_n of_o the_o lord_n nor_o any_o example_n yea_o rather_o the_o lord_n give_v a_o contrary_a example_n for_o in_o the_o euèning_n and_o in_o a_o private_a house_n he_o do_v make_v his_o supper_n and_o distribute_v the_o sacrament_n and_o that_o to_o man_n only_o and_o sit_v at_o the_o table_n but_o it_o will_v be_v object_v that_o in_o england_n many_o use_n vesture_n with_o manifest_a superstition_n &_o that_o they_o do_v noryshe_v and_o confirm_v in_o the_o people_n superstition_n even_o so_o it_o may_v be_v answer_v very_o many_o abuse_n all_o this_o whole_a sacrament_n as_o also_o baptism_n and_o all_o other_o ceremony_n therefore_o let_v we_o withstand_v this_o mischief_n and_o vanquishe_v it_o utter_o whereunto_o though_o it_o may_v be_v that_o the_o take_v away_o of_o vesture_n may_v help_v somthe_a yet_o to_o dryve_v away_o all_o this_o mischief_n it_o will_v not_o suffice_v nay_o the_o
