four_o of_o the_o particular_a church_n each_o of_o which_o ought_v to_o have_v their_o authority_n with_o we_o though_o that_o in_o different_a degree_n all_o this_o while_n i_o offend_v not_o because_o the_o holiness_n which_o i_o place_n in_o they_o be_v still_o proportion_v to_o the_o ground_n of_o it_o the_o authority_n of_o he_o that_o thus_o separate_v they_o and_o so_o again_o 52._o if_o my_o voluntary_a oblation_n i_o perform_v as_o a_o voluntary_a oblation_n and_o only_o expect_v that_o god_n that_o have_v promise_v to_o accept_v such_o will_n if_o it_o be_v as_o it_o ought_v accept_v this_o and_o in_o case_n of_o resolution_n and_o vow_n add_v that_o respect_n in_o my_o performance_n which_o be_v due_a to_o such_o all_o this_o while_n i_o be_o not_o blame-worthy_a 53._o but_o if_o i_o strain_v either_o of_o these_o any_o degree_n above_o its_o rank_n elevate_v a_o ecclesiastical_a or_o human_a constitution_n into_o a_o divine_a precept_n etc._n etc._n than_o i_o shall_v acknowledge_v this_o a_o fault_n and_o that_o fault_n perhaps_o capable_a of_o the_o title_n of_o superstition_n which_o yet_o must_v not_o be_v extend_v thus_o far_o that_o the_o give_n of_o the_o like_a obedience_n to_o one_o as_o the_o other_o be_v this_o fault_n for_o obedience_n be_v due_a to_o both_o divine_a and_o human_a law_n keep_v their_o term_n of_o subordination_n i_o be_o alike_o bind_v by_o christ_n to_o obey_v both_o and_o i_o must_v not_o make_v any_o difference_n in_o that_o obedience_n but_o do_v both_o for_o conscience_n sake_n but_o that_o the_o confound_v the_o ground_n or_o foundation_n of_o my_o obedience_n which_o ought_v to_o be_v distinguish_v be_v in_o itself_o a_o error_n and_o that_o which_o may_v prove_v of_o ill_a importance_n by_o make_v i_o equal_v they_o when_o perhaps_o they_o come_v in_o competition_n with_o and_o so_o thwart_a one_o another_o in_o which_o case_n the_o inferior_a aught_o to_o give_v place_n to_o the_o superior_a if_o to_o this_o it_o be_v reply_v 54._o that_o though_o i_o do_v not_o elevate_v this_o above_o its_o pitch_n do_v not_o thus_o attribute_v more_o holiness_n to_o this_o or_o that_o then_o it_o deserve_v yet_o papist_n or_o other_o superstitious_a person_n have_v do_v so_o and_o therefore_o the_o thing_n be_v become_v superstitious_a and_o consequent_o must_v be_v forbear_v by_o i_o also_o to_o this_o i_o answer_v first_o that_o the_o ill_a use_n of_o any_o will_v not_o corrupt_v a_o thing_n in_o itself_o either_o command_v or_o but_o laudable_a or_o only_o innocent_a before_o and_o consequent_o though_o the_o papist_n be_v superstitious_a yet_o will_v not_o every_o thing_n from_o they_o be_v sufficient_o prove_v to_o be_v superstitious_a unless_o it_o have_v some_o other_o crime_n beside_o their_o use_v it_o for_o otherwise_o not_o only_o the_o creed_n and_o paternoster_n but_o even_o the_o scripture_n itself_o must_v be_v superstitious_a also_o this_o inconsequence_n be_v acknowledge_v 55._o i_o add_v second_o that_o there_o be_v nothing_o which_o can_v oblige_v i_o to_o abstain_v from_o that_o which_o they_o have_v use_v superstitious_o unless_o either_o the_o danger_n that_o i_o be_v think_v to_o do_v so_o too_o to_o be_v as_o superstitious_a as_o they_o or_o the_o possibility_n that_o other_o follow_v i_o in_o do_v it_o may_v follow_v they_o in_o do_v it_o superstitious_o and_o either_o of_o these_o danger_n be_v suppose_v will_v not_o yet_o come_v home_o to_o prove_v it_o superstitious_a which_o be_v the_o only_a thing_n we_o have_v now_o to_o consider_v the_o most_o that_o they_o can_v do_v be_v to_o make_v it_o scandalous_a and_o beside_o that_o this_o belong_v to_o another_o matter_n and_o be_v abundant_o handle_v in_o another_o discourse_n on_o that_o subject_a i_o shall_v add_v one_o thing_n more_o that_o this_o consideration_n of_o the_o danger_n or_o possibility_n be_v not_o so_o much_o a_o religious_a as_o a_o prudential_a one_o for_o a_o act_n of_o prudence_n it_o be_v to_o weigh_v and_o ponder_v whether_o this_o be_v a_o probable_a danger_n or_o no_o and_o so_o belong_v to_o the_o high_a power_n to_o consider_v of_o not_o to_o every_o private_a man_n who_o if_o they_o think_v fit_a by_o law_n to_o forbid_v it_o i_o must_v not_o then_o venture_v on_o it_o if_o non_fw-la obstante_fw-la this_o appearance_n of_o danger_n to_o command_v it_o though_o it_o be_v possible_a they_o may_v do_v amiss_o in_o so_o do_v yet_o i_o have_v nothing_o to_o do_v in_o that_o act_n of_o they_o unless_o i_o be_o of_o counsel_n advise_v with_o in_o it_o may_v be_v innocent_a enough_o in_o so_o obey_v and_o if_o they_o have_v think_v fit_a neither_o to_o command_v nor_o forbid_v then_o be_o i_o leave_v free_a in_o my_o own_o particular_a and_o may_v do_v either_o so_o i_o do_v it_o with_o those_o caution_n that_o in_o the_o tract_n of_o scandal_n be_v set_v down_o to_o which_o if_o it_o be_v reply_v that_o though_o this_o be_v true_a in_o thesi_fw-la 56._o yet_o in_o hypothesi_fw-la it_o will_v not_o be_v pertinent_a in_o this_o kingdom_n the_o law_n of_o this_o kingdom_n have_v take_v away_o all_o ceremony_n use_v in_o the_o roman_a church_n save_o those_o that_o be_v name_v in_o those_o law_n and_o so_o have_v leave_v no_o man_n any_o such_o liberty_n i_o answer_v they_o have_v take_v away_o the_o obligingness_n but_o not_o lawfulness_n of_o they_o unless_o of_o those_o which_o either_o our_o church_n or_o some_o high_a principle_n have_v pronounce_v unlawful_a my_o meaning_n be_v that_o whatsoever_o laudable_a performance_n be_v take_v up_o by_o the_o papist_n and_o by_o they_o command_v now_o though_o that_o command_v be_v take_v away_o and_o so_o we_o free_v from_o the_o obligingness_n or_o burden_n of_o it_o yet_o it_o be_v not_o therefore_o make_v unlawful_a or_o prohibit_v to_o we_o for_o that_o be_v to_o restrain_v our_o liberty_n also_o and_o only_o to_o exchange_v one_o burden_n for_o another_o or_o if_o it_o be_v i_o shall_v then_o think_v myself_o oblige_v to_o abstain_v also_o the_o conclusion_n from_o all_o this_o discourse_n will_v be_v 57_o that_o if_o some_o man_n as_o they_o will_v abide_v no_o rite_n so_o they_o will_v avow_v no_o quarrel_n but_o what_o scripture_n will_v give_v they_o particular_a direction_n or_o command_n for_o and_o consequent_o if_o they_o will_v not_o judge_v or_o damn_v their_o brethren_n when_o neither_o christ_n and_o his_o writ_n nor_o the_o authority_n of_o the_o primitive_a universal_a church_n nor_o the_o order_n of_o the_o particular_a within_o which_o they_o live_v nor_o the_o indecency_n of_o the_o thing_n itself_o of_o which_o yet_o every_o private_a man_n must_v not_o be_v allow_v a_o competent_a judge_n condemn_v they_o it_o may_v be_v hope_v that_o truth_n and_o peace_n and_o justice_n and_o charity_n that_o have_v take_v their_o joint_a flight_n from_o this_o earth_n together_o may_v together_o return_v to_o it_o again_o which_o till_o it_o be_v do_v it_o must_v be_v still_o expect_v that_o they_o who_o have_v learn_v one_o of_o the_o devil_n attribute_n that_o of_o satan_n adversary_n or_o {non-roman}_o {non-roman}_o {non-roman}_o {non-roman}_o {non-roman}_o enemy_n man_n will_v also_o advance_v to_o another_o that_o of_o {non-roman}_o {non-roman}_o {non-roman}_o {non-roman}_o {non-roman}_o

action_n of_o they_o and_o that_o if_o there_o be_v no_o know_v plain_a sin_n to_o be_v charge_v on_o they_o with_o any_o probability_n than_o some_o unknown_a obscure_a misunderstand_v name_n shall_v supply_v that_o place_n and_o as_o once_o aerodius_n observe_v that_o there_o be_v a_o law_n make_v that_o no_o crime_n shall_v be_v capital_a but_o treason_n but_o then_o every_o the_o least_o misbehaviour_n or_o even_o innocent_a harmless_a action_n in_o such_o who_o they_o have_v a_o mind_n to_o punish_v be_v bring_v in_o under_o the_o title_n of_o treason_n and_o so_o every_o thing_n

capital_a damn_v sin_n worth_n heed_v or_o abstain_v from_o but_o superstition_n every_o rite_n or_o gesture_n or_o motion_n in_o they_o who_o they_o please_v to_o quarrel_v with_o shall_v be_v
