and_o the_o like_a or_o it_o be_v not_o forbid_v in_o the_o scripture_n therefore_o though_o it_o be_v of_o religious_a use_n in_o the_o worship_n of_o god_n and_o be_v only_o devise_v by_o man_n yet_o thou_o may_v yea_o being_n command_v ought_v to_o conform_v unto_o it_o but_o direct_o it_o be_v a_o plain_a doctrine_n of_o infidelity_n for_o whereon_o i_o pray_v you_o be_v faith_n ground_v

any_o thing_n which_o the_o scripture_n teach_v 25_o so_o it_o must_v needs_o be_v a_o special_a branch_n of_o infidelity_n in_o matter_n of_o conformity_n to_o thing_n of_o religious_a use_n in_o god_n public_a worship_n to_o ground_v our_o faith_n therein_o for_o hope_n they_o will_v not_o say_v but_o they_o do_v it_o in_o faith_n on_o any_o thing_n but_o the_o sacred_a scripture_n now_o

conformity_n to_o they_o be_v a_o action_n of_o faith_n and_o yet_o refuse_v thereby_o that_o gesture_n which_o christ_n by_o his_o presence_n &_o approbation_n honour_v be_v not_o this_o to_o love_v the_o praise_n of_o man_n or_o that_o which_o man_n praise_v more_o than_o the_o praise_n of_o god_n 43._o or_o that_o which_o his_o word_n commend_v true_a it_o be_v i_o know_v that_o man_n do_v

44._o and_o seek_v not_o the_o honour_n that_o come_v from_o god_n alone_o will_v you_o fear_v the_o displeasure_n of_o man_n if_o you_o do_v not_o conform_v and_o will_v you_o not_o fear_v the_o
