matth._n 15._o the_o tradition_n in_o the_o church_n of_o the_o gentile_n may_v be_v consider_v two_o way_n gentile_n 1._o as_o they_o be_v in_o the_o time_n of_o the_o primitive_a church_n 2._o as_o they_o be_v in_o the_o time_n after_o under_o antichrist_n in_o the_o primitive_a church_n they_o have_v by_o degree_n one_o after_o another_o a_o great_a number_n of_o tradition_n such_o as_o these_o to_o stand_v and_o pray_v every_o sabbath_n from_o easter_n to_o whitsuntide_n the_o sign_n of_o the_o cross_n to_o pray_v towards_o the_o east_n the_o anoint_v of_o the_o baptize_v with_o oil_n the_o canonical_a hour_n lent_n and_o diverse_a kind_n of_o fast_n the_o mix_n of_o water_n with_o wine_n the_o addition_n of_o diverse_a order_n in_o the_o church_n as_o canon_n exorcist_n ostiaries_n holiday_n to_o sing_v halleluiah_n at_o easter_n but_o not_o in_o lent_n and_o such_o like_a now_o if_o any_o ask_v what_o we_o be_v to_o think_v of_o those_o and_o the_o like_a tradition_n then_o in_o use_n quest._n i_o answer_v answ._n 1._o that_o the_o church_n have_v power_n to_o appoint_v tradition_n in_o indifferent_a rite_n so_o that_o the_o rule_n of_o the_o apostle_n for_o indifferent_a thing_n be_v observe_v as_o that_o they_o be_v not_o offensive_a nor_o against_o order_n or_o decency_n or_o edification_n as_o to_o appoint_v the_o time_n and_o place_n of_o public_a prayer_n to_o set_v down_o the_o form_n of_o it_o to_o tell_v how_o often_o the_o sacrament_n shall_v be_v administer_v etc_n etc_n 2._o we_o must_v understand_v that_o the_o word_n tradition_n use_v by_o the_o father_n church_n do_v not_o always_o signify_v these_o and_o such_o like_a thing_n devise_v by_o man_n but_o sometime_o they_o do_v mean_a thereby_o such_o thing_n as_o be_v warrant_v by_o scripture_n though_o not_o express_o as_o the_o baptise_v of_o infant_n the_o observation_n of_o the_o sabbath_n etc_n etc_n 3._o there_o be_v some_o tradition_n in_o some_o church_n in_o the_o first_o hundred_o of_o year_n that_o be_v direct_o impious_a as_o the_o invocation_n of_o saint_n and_o image_n 4._o someother_n thing_n be_v then_o use_v that_o be_v not_o every_o way_n impious_a in_o their_o own_o nature_n and_o yet_o not_o great_o justifiable_a in_o their_o use_n and_o such_o be_v diverse_a of_o the_o aforenamed_a observation_n 5._o that_o diverse_a thing_n at_o the_o first_o bring_v into_o the_o church_n with_o good_a intent_n and_o to_o good_a purpose_n afterward_o grow_v into_o abuse_n as_o for_o example_n in_o the_o primitive_a order_n of_o mounk_n 6._o the_o worse_a tradition_n be_v bring_v in_o by_o false_a teacher_n and_o too_o pertinacious_o observe_v by_o the_o people_n the_o father_n bewail_v it_o and_o sometime_o complain_v of_o it_o 7._o the_o father_n themselves_o in_o some_o thing_n show_v levity_n and_o unconstancy_n of_o judgement_n sometime_o to_o please_v the_o people_n approve_v thing_n and_o again_o sometime_o stand_v upon_o the_o sole_a perfection_n of_o the_o scripture_n last_o it_o can_v well_o be_v deny_v but_o that_o the_o liberty_n take_v in_o the_o primitive_a time_n to_o bring_v in_o tradition_n open_v a_o door_n to_o antichrist_n popery_n now_o concern_v the_o tradition_n in_o popery_n under_o antichrist_n their_o doctrine_n be_v abominable_a for_o they_o say_v that_o the_o word_n of_o god_n be_v either_o write_v or_o unwritten_a and_o they_o say_v their_o unwritten_a verity_n be_v necessary_a as_o well_o as_o scripture_n yea_o that_o they_o be_v of_o equal_a authority_n with_o scripture_n and_o those_o tradition_n they_o will_v thus_o exalt_v tradition_n be_v for_o number_n many_o for_o nature_n childish_a unprofitable_a impious_a and_o idolatrous_a but_o that_o we_o may_v be_v full_o settle_v against_o their_o impious_a doctrine_n of_o tradition_n we_o may_v profitable_o record_v in_o our_o memory_n these_o scripture_n deut._n 12.32_o reu._n 22.18_o matth._n 15._o 1._o pet._n 1.18_o
