table_n gesture_n be_v the_o only_a true_a gesture_n in_o the_o administration_n of_o this_o sacrament_n which_o at_o this_o very_a instant_n he_o immediate_o institute_v and_o deliver_v for_o else_o he_o will_v never_o have_v use_v it_o therefore_o by_o this_o his_o own_o action_n he_o have_v make_v know_v to_o all_o true_a church_n for_o ever_o that_o he_o hear_v or_o learn_v the_o table_n gesture_n of_o the_o father_n and_o therefore_o they_o may_v not_o in_o any_o case_n or_o upon_o any_o term_n conform_v to_o any_o other_o unless_o in_o like_a manner_n it_o be_v apparent_a that_o it_o come_v also_o from_o the_o father_n also_o he_o never_o make_v know_v unto_o they_o that_o kneel_v as_o it_o be_v urge_v be_v lawful_a therefore_o he_o never_o learn_v or_o hear_v it_o of_o his_o father_n and_o because_o the_o disciple_n shall_v not_o forget_v this_o or_o any_o thing_n else_o which_o by_o precept_n or_o practice_n he_o have_v tell_v they_o he_o promise_v to_o send_v the_o holy_a ghost_n unto_o they_o 26._o both_o to_o teach_v and_o also_o to_o bring_v all_o thing_n to_o their_o remembrance_n which_o he_o have_v tell_v they_o now_o see_v they_o never_o use_v any_o other_o for_o it_o be_v that_o most_o fearful_a sin_n of_o presumption_n the_o mother_n of_o final_a apostasy_n to_o suppose_v they_o use_v any_o thing_n of_o religious_a use_n needful_a for_o the_o church_n afterward_o to_o use_v and_o conform_v unto_o which_o the_o scripture_n do_v not_o direct_o mention_v &_o approve_v it_o be_v more_o than_o evident_a that_o they_o never_o hear_v of_o christ_n that_o any_o other_o gesture_n be_v lawful_a or_o night_n in_o any_o respect_n be_v conform_v unto_o in_o the_o act_n of_o receve_v the_o sacrament_n especial_o see_v he_o bear_v witness_n to_o the_o truth_n 37._o even_o to_o the_o whole_a truth_n &_o not_o to_o some_o special_a part_n only_o if_o then_o this_o be_v a_o gesture_n of_o truth_n and_o the_o other_o be_v ceremony_n of_o truth_n though_o in_o the_o low_a degree_n of_o religious_a use_n christ_n do_v certain_o bear_v witness_n in_o the_o word_n that_o they_o be_v good_a and_o lawful_a and_o then_o indeed_o we_o ought_v to_o conform_v unto_o they_o see_v every_o one_o that_o be_v of_o the_o truth_n hear_v his_o voice_n that_o be_v obey_v his_o will_n and_o be_v not_o the_o word_n his_o voice_n or_o have_v he_o any_o other_o all_o therefore_o that_o conform_a to_o any_o thing_n of_o religious_a use_n without_o safe_a warrant_n from_o the_o word_n be_v not_o of_o the_o truth_n but_o direct_o of_o error_n if_o then_o christian_n be_v bind_v to_o conform_v to_o any_o thing_n yea_o for_o conscience_n sake_n which_o yet_o christ_n have_v not_o make_v know_v in_o the_o scripture_n to_o be_v good_a and_o lawful_a then_o do_v your_o adversary_n of_o necessity_n infer_v that_o christ_n have_v not_o make_v know_v all_o thing_n of_o necessary_a use_n at_o some_o time_n and_o in_o some_o case_n at_o least_o in_o the_o worship_n of_o god_n unto_o his_o church_n and_o servant_n and_o so_o deny_v the_o faithfulness_n of_o his_o prophetical_a office_n in_o this_o particular_a they_o come_v near_o to_o that_o apostatical_a heresy_n 22_o even_o to_o deny_v that_o jesus_n be_v that_o christ_n or_o that_o anounted_a prophet_n who_o we_o must_v hear_v in_o all_o thing_n yea_o by_o this_o their_o strict_a press_v of_o conformity_n they_o do_v intimate_v that_o he_o be_v not_o the_o lord_n not_o lord_n or_o author_n of_o the_o whole_a truth_n for_o they_o say_v kneel_v and_o the_o other_o thing_n in_o controversy_n be_v not_o lie_v or_o novelty_n fantasy_n or_o incerteinty_n but_o of_o the_o truth_n and_o and_o therefore_o to_o be_v conform_v unto_o and_o yet_o for_o their_o heart_n can_v prove_v that_o christ_n be_v lord_n or_o author_n of_o they_o and_o even_o as_o he_o which_o deny_v the_o divine_a providence_n in_o the_o particular_a government_n of_o all_o thing_n even_o to_o the_o fall_n of_o the_o hair_n of_o our_o head_n 7_o do_v say_v in_o his_o heart_n there_o be_v no_o god_n 1._o or_o frame_v his_o affection_n and_o dispose_n of_o his_o course_n as_o if_o god_n be_v otherwise_o then_o he_o have_v in_o his_o word_n reveal_v himself_o to_o be_v and_o so_o deny_v his_o particular_a providence_n set_v up_o in_o his_o heart_n the_o god_n or_o idol_n of_o chance_n and_o fortune_n good_a or_o evil_n so_o they_o that_o affirm_v that_o because_o christ_n have_v not_o particular_o or_o express_o forbid_v these_o thing_n in_o the_o word_n therefore_o we_o may_v yea_o and_o be_v command_v aught_o to_o conform_v unto_o they_o though_o there_o be_v no_o warrant_n in_o scripture_n for_o they_o do_v in_o effect_n in_o these_o hair_n as_o i_o may_v say_v or_o ceremony_n of_o his_o worship_n or_o as_o they_o count_v they_o the_o small_a and_o trivial_a matter_n of_o his_o service_n deny_v that_o he_o be_v lord_n in_o his_o church_n that_o be_v not_o such_o a_o absolute_a lord_n as_o the_o sacred_a scripture_n describe_v he_o to_o be_v and_o so_o set_v up_o in_o their_o heart_n the_o idol_n of_o novelty_n and_o incerteinty_a or_o the_o god_n of_o humane_a invention_n and_o worldly_a tradition_n or_o the_o precept_n and_o pleasure_n of_o man_n and_o so_o dispose_v of_o religious_a ceremony_n in_o god_n public_a worship_n as_o their_o occasion_n may_v happen_v or_o chance_v to_o move_v they_o unto_o so_o that_o though_o without_o any_o stop_n they_o ready_o take_v the_o oath_n of_o allegyance_n unto_o christ_n yet_o by_o a_o mental_a reservation_n they_o intend_v and_o mean_v that_o jure_fw-la divino_fw-la their_o calling_n with_o these_o appurtenance_n be_v not_o subject_a to_o the_o supremacy_n of_o his_o word_n therefore_o let_v all_o god_n servant_n rather_o reason_n thus_o what_o profit_v the_o image_n or_o any_o humane_a invention_n 18._o very_o they_o be_v teacher_n of_o lie_n do_v they_o no_o good_a then_o do_v they_o much_o hurt_n teach_v they_o not_o the_o truth_n if_o they_o do_v then_o christ_n in_o the_o word_n bear_v witness_v unto_o they_o then_o do_v they_o confirm_v error_n &_o falsehood_n woe_n therefore_o unto_o he_o that_o say_v that_o these_o device_n be_v sufficient_a to_o teach_v the_o church_n &_o that_o some_o good_a lesson_n or_o instruction_n may_v be_v get_v by_o they_o 19_o no_o no_o though_o they_o be_v lay_v over_o with_o gold_n &_o silver_n and_o have_v the_o most_o excellent_a and_o learnede_a wit_n in_o the_o world_n to_o justify_v and_o defend_v they_o yet_o when_o they_o have_v do_v all_o that_o possible_o they_o can_v there_o be_v no_o breath_n in_o they_o they_o can_v for_o their_o life_n make_v they_o of_o any_o profitable_a use_n for_o the_o service_n of_o the_o church_n in_o the_o worship_n of_o god_n but_o the_o lord_n be_v in_o his_o holy_a temple_n only_o in_o his_o own_o ordinance_n 20._o there_o be_v the_o blessing_n for_o evermore_o &_o not_o

of_o these_o vanity_n but_o why_o i_o pray_v you_o will_v some_o say_v object_n shall_v not_o image_n or_o this_o gesture_n and_o these_o ceremony_n or_o other_o like_a humane_a invention_n yield_v

like_a nature_n even_o because_o the_o lord_n in_o his_o infinite_a wisdom_n and_o love_n have_v devise_v and_o command_v these_o answer_n and_o therefore_o how_o silly_a or_o contemptible_a soever_o they_o seem_v to_o the_o wisdom_n of_o the_o world_n yet_o his_o divine_a power_n be_v always_o present_a and_o do_v inseparable_o work_v in_o the_o holy_a use_n &_o partake_v of_o his_o own_o
