it_o be_v evident_a at_o saint_n paul_n time_n by_o the_o most_o clear_a scripture_n of_o god_n that_o the_o use_n of_o day_n meat_n and_o all_o other_o extern_a thing_n be_v make_v free_a &_o it_o

observe_v that_o faith_n may_v be_v edify_v now_o if_o any_o church_n judge_v 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 commendation_n to_o the_o holy_a ministration_n and_o thereby_o help_v somewhat_o in_o the_o way_n of_o comeliness_n and_o order_n to_o the_o increase_n of_o faith_n what_o i_o pray_v you_o can_v be_v 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 contemn_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 receive_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 evening_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 and_o that_o they_o do_v norishe_v &_o confirm_v in_o the_o
