to_o refuse_v to_o do_v that_o which_o the_o apostle_n with_o the_o whole_a church_n at_o jerusalem_n do_v by_o divine_a inspiration_n and_o commandment_n do_v themselves_o and_o both_o advice_n and_o

as_o inconvenient_a and_o evil_a for_o number_n nature_n use_n and_o evil_a effect_n as_o we_o be_v suppose_v to_o be_v and_o that_o for_o reason_n equivalent_a or_o inferior_a to_o the_o avoid_n of_o deprivation_n ergo_fw-la to_o refuse_v to_o conform_v in_o the_o case_n of_o deprivation_n be_v a_o sin_n the_o proposition_n of_o this_o argument_n he_o never_o go_v about_o to_o prove_v which_o yet_o be_v most_o false_a and_o unsound_a for_o the_o apostle_n and_o whole_a church_n a_o jerusalem_n may_v by_o divine_a inspiration_n and_o some_o special_a commandment_n of_o god_n both_o themselves_o use_v and_o enjoin_v other_o to_o use_v some_o ceremony_n in_o themselves_o as_o evil_a and_o inconvenient_a as_o we_o &_o yet_o it_o may_v be_v unlawful_a for_o a_o minister_n now_o to_o

better_o conclude_v by_o this_o argument_n viz._n that_o the_o apostle_n doctrine_n and_o practice_n do_v not_o so_o warrant_v a_o minister_n now_o to_o conform_v to_o such_o like_a ceremony_n because_o they_o that_o command_v they_o to_o do_v so_o do_v it_o not_o by_o divine_a inspiration_n or_o commandment_n as_o the_o apostle_n do_v that_o which_o he_o allege_v afterward_o for_o the_o

from_o god_n and_o that_o they_o do_v be_v do_v by_o the_o direction_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n we_o may_v be_v the_o boulder_n to_o imitate_v they_o second_o his_o second_o answer_n that_o though_o we_o may_v not_o imitate_v the_o apostle_n in_o thing_n peculiar_a to_o the_o office_n person_n and_o time_n yet_o we_o may_v in_o matter_n of_o common_a equity_n and_o general_a reason_n instead_o of_o confirm_v he_o do_v direct_o overthrow_v his_o own_o proposition_n for_o he_o grant_v here_o that_o it_o be_v no_o sufficient_a warrant_n for_o we_o to_o do_v any_o thing_n for_o that_o the_o

second_o answer_n affirm_v that_o the_o apostle_n do_v urge_v the_o practice_n of_o these_o ceremony_n not_o from_o the_o immediate_a authority_n of_o god_n nor_o from_o the_o inspiration_n only_o of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n but_o by_o reason_n and_o rule_n of_o common_a equity_n and_o perpetual_a wherein_o beside_o that_o he_o forget_v what_o he_o have_v urge_v before_o in_o the_o proof_n of_o

15._o 28._o he_o have_v also_o weaken_v his_o own_o proposition_n here_o and_o make_v it_o of_o no_o strength_n at_o all_o for_o if_o the_o apostle_n have_v use_v or_o enjoin_v these_o thing_n and_o

that_o which_o the_o rule_n of_o common_a and_o perpetual_a equity_n and_o general_a reason_n do_v require_v then_o a_o argument_n draw_v from_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o scribe_n and_o pharise_n
