other burthens vpon oure backes then Iesus Christe layed by his worde Than who hath burthened vs with all these ceremonies prescribed fasting coÌ„pelled chastitie vnlawful voues inuocation of sainctes and with y â— Idolatry of the masse The deuil the deuill brethren inuented all these burthens to depresse imprudent men to perdition 9. Paule writing of y â— lordes supper saieth Ego accepi a Domino quod tradidi vobis I haue receyued and learned of the Lord that whiche I haue taught you And consider if one ceremony he addeth or permitteth too be vsed other then Christe did vse hym selfe But commaundeth them to vse with reuerence the Lordes institution vntill his returninge too iudgement 10. Albeit Moyses was replenished with the sprite of wisedoÌ„ â—â— was more familiar with God then euer was any mortall man yet was there â—ot of all the ceremonies referred to his wisedome one iote but all was commanded to him to be made accordinge to the similitude shewen vnto hym and according as y â— worde expressed Of the which precedentes I thinke it is playne that al which is added to the religion of God without his own expresse worde is Idolatry 11. Yet must I auÌ„swer to an obiection obiected by the papistes for neuer maye they abyde to be subiecte vnto goddes worde The apostles say they in the counsell holden at Ierusalem set vp a religioÌ„ and made lawes wherof no iote was conteyned in goddes worde therfore y â— church now may do the same That there was any religion that is honoring of god wherby they might merit as ye cal it any thinge before God inuented in y e couÌ„salâ—ye neuer are able to proue Preceptes were geueÌ„ but neither suche nor to that entent that ye alledge All preceptes geuen in that counsail had the commaundemeÌ„t of God as after shalbe hearde First let vs heare the cause of the counsaill Paule and Barnabas had taught amongest the gentils y â— onely sayth in Christes bloode iustifieth and a greate multitude of gentils by their doctrine embraced Iesus Christ by hym truely worshipped God Vnto Antiochia froÌ„ Iudea came certayn fals teachers affirmyng that oneles they were circumcysed according to Moyses lawe they coulde not be saued as oure papistes saye this daâ—t that trew fayth in Christes bloude is not sufficient puâ—â—atioÌ„ for our e synnes oneles also â—e bye their mombled masses This contrauersitrobled the harâ—es and coÌ„scieÌ„ces of the brethern in so muche that Paule Barnabas were compelled too go vnto IerusaleÌ„ vnto Peter and Iames and others I thinke of the apostles Where a coÌ„uention had the question was proponed whether the gentiles shoulde be subiect to obseruation of Moyses lawe or nor That is whether onely fayth in Iesus Christ did iustifie or ne cessarye was also to iustification the law obserued After great coÌ„tention Peter expouÌ„ded howe y t the house of Cornelius beyng all gentils had by his preachinge receyued Iesus Christ were decia red in his presence iuste righteouse before God for they did receyue the holye Ghoste visiblye not onely without obseruacion of Moses lawe but also before they had receyued any sacrameÌ„tal signe of Chrystes religion Peter concludeth that to pâ—â—â—â—e a yoke vpon the brethreÌ„s neckâ—s which yoke might none of the Iewes beare theÌ„selfes was nothyng but to tempte god that is to proue if god woulde bee pleased with suche lawes and ordinaunces as they would lay vpoÌ„ the neckes of men wythoute hys owne worde whyche were moste extreme impretie and so coÌ„cludeth he that the gentils ought not to be burthened wyth the law Hereafter declared Paule and Barnabas what wonderouse woorkes God had shewen by them amongest the gentils who neuer obserued Moses lawe â–ª and last Iames who appeareth vnto me principall in that counseil for he collecteth the scrip tures and pronounceth the fynall senteÌ„ce as ye shall heare plainly declareth that the vocation of the gentiles was prophecied before And that they should be accepted and accompted to be the people of God without obseruation of Moses lawe Adding that no maÌ„ ought to enquyre a cause of gods workes And so pronuÌ„ceth he the sentence that their libertie should not be diminished Aduert now y e cause the processe and determination of this counsayl The cause was to enquyre the veritie of certeyn doctrine That is whether the gentils shoulde be charged w t the obseruation of Moses lawe as was affirmed and taughte by some In this matter they proceded bi example of goddes works findinge that he had accepted the gentils without any thraldom or ceremony obserued Last are produced scriptures declaringe so to before spoken And accordinge to all this it is concluded and desyned that the gentilles shall not be burthened with the lawe What congruence I praye you haue the Antichristes counsails with this counsailâ— of the apostles The apostles gathered to consult vpoÌ„ the veritie The papistical counsails are gathered for pryuate coÌ„moditie vpsetting of Idolatry all abomination as their determinatioÌ„s manifestly proue The apostles proceded in their counsails by consideration of goddes workes applienge of theÌ„ to the present cause wheâ—upoÌ„ deliberatioÌ„ was to be â—â—â—â— determined as â—â—â—â— ã€ˆâ—Šã€‰ coÌ„mauÌ„ded But the ã€ˆâ—Šã€‰ â—â— their couÌ„sails procede according as their wisedoÌ„ foolish bâ—â—â—â— thinkes good expedient And concludinge not onely without authoritie of gods scriptures but also manifestly coÌ„trary â—o the same And that I offer me moste clerely for to proue if anye wold deny or alledg y â— so it is not But yet say thei the apostles coÌ„maunded the gentils to absteyn from certein thinges wherof thei had no commaundement of God Let vs heare the thinges â–ª inhibited Ye shall absteyne sayeth the epistle sent to Antiochia froÌ„ fornication This is the coÌ„maundement of God So although y â— geÌ„tils estemed it to be no syn yet is it expresly forbidden in goddes lawe But it foloweth froÌ„ thinges offerred vnto Idols from strangeled and from bloudde shall ye absteyn If the causes mouing the apostles to forbid these thinges be well considered it shalbe fouÌ„d that they hadde the expresse commaundement of Iesus Christe so to do The sprete of trueth knowlege workinge in the apostles with all abundance shewed vnto them y â— nothinge was more profitable more mighte auaunce the glory of God and encreace the churche of Christe than that the Iewes and gentils shoulde vse together in familiaritie and dayly conuersatioÌ„ that by mutuall companye loue might encreace One thinge was easy to be espied that the Iewes coulde not hastely be perswaded that the eating of meates forbidden in Moyses lawe was no syn before God For difficill it is to pull forth of the hart that whiche is planted by goddes own word So that the Iewes wolde haue abhorred the company of the gentils iâ— they had eaten in their presence such meates as were forbidden in the lawe The apostles considered that the absteyning frome suche thinges
