A80635	Some treasure fetched out of rubbish: or, Three short but seasonable treatises (found in an heap of scattered papers), which Providence hath reserved for their service who desire to be instructed, from the Word of God, concerning the imposition and use of significant ceremonies in the worship of God. viz. I. A discourse upon 1 Cor. 14.40. Let all things be done decently and in order. Tending to search out the truth in this question, viz. Whether it be lawful for church-governours to command indifferent decent things in the administration of God's worship? II. An enquiry, whether the church may not, in the celebration of the Sacrament, use other rites significative than those expressed in the Scripture, or add to them of her own authority? III. Three arguments, syllogistically propounded and prosecuted against the surplice: the Cross in Baptism: and kneeling in the act of receiving the Lord's Supper.	Cotton, John, 1584-1652.; Nichols, Robert, Mr.	1660 (1660)	Wing C6459; Thomason E1046_2; ESTC R208022	73,042	79

that_o they_o always_o have_v a_o power_n or_o spirit_n of_o discern_v to_o judge_v aright_o in_o this_o case_n for_o it_o seem_v the_o high-priest_n and_o prophet_n yea_o and_o david_n himself_o all_o of_o they_o think_v it_o decent_a to_o bring_v back_o the_o ark_n of_o god_n upon_o a_o new_a cart_n which_o afterward_o david_n himself_o see_v and_o confess_v it_o be_v not_o do_v after_o

and_o declare_v the_o decency_n of_o thing_n by_o no_o better_a rule_n than_o their_o own_o will_n and_o pleasure_n but_o by_o such_o rule_n as_o the_o holy_a ghost_n direct_v we_o unto_o in_o this_o
