decent_a and_o inoffensive_a form_n in_o the_o external_n worship_n of_o god_n appoint_v by_o the_o civil_a magistrate_n by_o the_o advice_n of_o those_o that_o be_v deserve_o eminent_a in_o the_o church_n for_o their_o piety_n learning_n and_o prudence_n and_o there_o seem_v to_o be_v very_o good_a reason_n for_o it_o 1._o because_o if_o every_o man_n shall_v be_v leave_v to_o himself_o there_o will_v confusion_n ensue_v because_o no_o man_n know_v another_o mind_n or_o rule_n of_o his_o external_a deportment_n 2._o all_o man_n have_v not_o that_o equal_a prudence_n to_o judge_n what_o be_v fit_a to_o be_v use_v the_o magistrate_n be_v like_a to_o make_v choice_n of_o those_o person_n that_o be_v fit_a to_o advise_v and_o their_o recommendation_n will_v be_v of_o great_a authority_n with_o other_o 3._o it_o be_v most_o certain_a that_o man_n be_v compose_v of_o soul_n and_o body_n can_v so_o regular_o and_o well_o fix_v himself_o to_o his_o duty_n without_o some_o justifiable_a help_n to_o his_o devotion_n such_o be_v vocal_a prayer_n kneel_v and_o other_o gesture_n proper_a for_o the_o matter_n of_o worship_n which_o he_o intend_v and_o this_o may_v be_v one_o reason_n why_o the_o lord_n though_o he_o strict_o forbid_v all_o idolatry_n and_o superstition_n and_o heathenish_a practice_n to_o the_o jew_n yet_o do_v appoint_v sacrifice_n priest_n a_o glorious_a tabernacle_n and_o the_o ark_n which_o be_v not_o only_o a_o diversion_n from_o the_o egyptian_a idolatry_n which_o they_o have_v see_v but_o also_o a_o help_n to_o their_o natural_a infirmity_n for_o the_o excitation_n of_o their_o devotion_n and_o although_o our_o lord_n jesus_n come_v to_o abrogate_v even_o that_o indulgence_n and_o foretell_v that_o those_o that_o worship_v the_o father_n shall_v worship_v he_o in_o spirit_n and_o in_o truth_n under_o the_o gospel_n yet_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o the_o immediate_a apostle_n of_o christ_n do_v set_v certain_a orderly_a observance_n in_o the_o church_n for_o decency_n sake_n and_o it_o be_v just_o allowable_a as_o concern_v the_o order_n of_o the_o exercise_n of_o their_o supernatural_a gift_n concern_v woman_n speak_v in_o the_o church_n concern_v man_n being_n cover_v in_o the_o church_n and_o woman_n veil_v concern_v the_o manner_n and_o order_n of_o receive_v the_o sacrament_n and_o the_o like_a but_o as_o there_o be_v reason_n for_o it_o so_o there_o be_v caution_n to_o be_v use_v in_o it_o 1._o that_o they_o be_v not_o too_o numerous_a for_o their_o multitude_n will_v rather_o oppress_v than_o secure_a religion_n 2._o that_o in_o their_o nature_n they_o be_v not_o superstitious_a but_o keep_v as_o much_o distance_n from_o it_o as_o well_o may_v be_v otherwise_o they_o will_v be_v in_o religion_n as_o the_o dead_a fly_n in_o the_o apothecary_n ointment_n 3._o that_o they_o be_v clean_a and_o decent_a not_o too_o full_a of_o pomp_n or_o ostentation_n ceremony_n shall_v be_v use_v as_o we_o use_v a_o glass_n rather_o to_o preserve_v the_o oil_n than_o to_o adorn_v it_o too_o much_o pomp_n cause_v jealousy_n even_o in_o good_a man_n of_o a_o degeneration_n either_o to_o jewish_a ceremony_n or_o popish_a vanity_n 4._o that_o though_o such_o be_v not_o to_o be_v reject_v because_o they_o be_v ancient_a so_o if_o they_o become_v unseasonable_a they_o be_v not_o to_o be_v hold_v mere_o because_o they_o be_v ancient_a it_o be_v with_o ceremony_n as_o with_o some_o other_o thing_n that_o be_v fit_a to_o be_v change_v when_o they_o become_v unuseful_a or_o offensive_a as_o the_o love-feast_n extreme_a unction_n and_o some_o other_o thing_n possible_o practise_v and_o fit_a enough_o in_o the_o primitive_a time_n many_o ceremony_n be_v at_o first_o invent_v and_o practise_v to_o win_v over_o unconvert_v heathen_n to_o encourage_v weak_a christian_n especial_o the_o jew_n who_o be_v not_o easy_o to_o be_v draw_v from_o their_o legal_a ceremony_n but_o when_o people_n become_v a_o know_a people_n that_o see_v beyond_o those_o ceremony_n and_o understand_v when_o and_o why_o and_o how_o they_o come_v in_o than_o it_o be_v prudence_n to_o dispense_v with_o or_o change_v they_o 5._o that_o they_o be_v not_o urge_v with_o too_o much_o rigour_n or_o severity_n upon_o such_o as_o conscientious_o refuse_v they_o charity_n to_o a_o weak_a brother_n in_o thing_n indifferent_a in_o their_o own_o nature_n be_v then_o to_o be_v exercise_v when_o my_o brother_n be_v offend_v therewith_o or_o never_o and_o if_o it_o be_v say_v it_o be_v his_o duty_n to_o submit_v to_o the_o church_n and_o not_o the_o church_n to_o he_o i_o do_v think_v that_o answer_n will_v not_o serve_v in_o this_o case_n for_o sure_o though_o a_o child_n owe_v a_o duty_n to_o a_o father_n yet_o his_o neglect_n thereof_o especial_o if_o it_o be_v upon_o a_o conscientious_a account_n will_v not_o excuse_v the_o neglect_n of_o a_o father_n duty_n to_o his_o child_n the_o apostle_n profess_v he_o will_v abstain_v from_o thing_n lawful_a rather_o than_o offend_v his_o weak_a brother_n 6._o and_o especial_o that_o we_o be_v careful_a to_o remember_v that_o religion_n be_v another_o thing_n from_o these_o ceremony_n these_o be_v of_o use_n i._n e._n for_o ornament_n they_o be_v the_o dress_n and_o the_o trim_n of_o religion_n at_o the_o best_a but_o the_o fear_n of_o god_n be_v of_o a_o high_a extraction_n it_o be_v a_o pitiful_a thing_n to_o see_v man_n run_v upon_o this_o mistake_n especial_o in_o these_o latter_a time_n one_o place_v all_o his_o religion_n in_o
