the_o second_o argument_n be_v take_v from_o the_o continue_a practice_n of_o the_o church_n from_o christ_n time_n hitherto_o disannul_v and_o ordain_v such_o thing_n as_o best_o serve_v for_o the_o present_a time_n and_o state_n of_o the_o church_n the_o apostolical_a church_n enjoin_v abstinence_n from_o meat_n offer_v to_o idol_n 15.29_o act._n 15.29_o from_o strangle_a and_o from_o blood_n which_o now_o from_o a_o long_a time_n be_v abrogate_a in_o the_o time_n next_o after_o the_o apostle_n they_o use_v from_o easter_n to_o whitsuntide_n to_o pray_v stand_v this_o be_v out_o of_o use_n now_o after_o the_o time_n of_o constantine_n in_o the_o public_a service_n the_o apostle_n creed_n be_v rehearse_v with_o a_o low_a voice_n the_o nicene_n with_o a_o loud_a voice_n the_o first_o because_o it_o be_v set_v forth_o in_o the_o time_n of_o persecution_n the_o second_o because_o it_o be_v make_v in_o the_o time_n of_o peace_n as_o say_v aquinas_n 6._o aqui._n 2.2_o q._n 1._o art_n 9_o ad_fw-la 6._o this_o and_o the_o like_a have_v now_o cease_v in_o the_o church_n but_o to_o receive_v the_o communion_n in_o the_o morning_n and_o fast_v in_o baptism_n to_o use_v the_o sign_n of_o the_o cross_n to_o make_v abrenuntiation_n to_o sit_v with_o our_o face_n towards_o the_o east_n not_o to_o fast_v upon_o the_o sunday_n to_o join_v the_o contract_v in_o matrimony_n public_o in_o the_o church_n with_o the_o benediction_n of_o the_o minister_n and_o such_o like_a the_o church_n by_o her_o power_n have_v continue_v hence_o arise_v two_o conclusion_n 1_o tradition_n constitution_n and_o canon_n be_v necessary_a for_o the_o church_n because_o otherwise_o concord_n decency_n and_o order_n can_v be_v maintain_v for_o in_o as_o much_o as_o in_o man_n manner_n there_o be_v so_o much_o diversity_n in_o their_o mind_n variety_n and_o contrariety_n in_o their_o opinion_n and_o judgement_n if_o a_o church_n shall_v not_o be_v knit_v and_o bind_v together_o by_o such_o

affair_n but_o not_o in_o the_o holy_a service_n i_o will_v ask_v whether_o when_o any_o man_n have_v make_v he_o a_o ordinary_a garment_n of_o some_o vestment_n use_v and_o dedicate_v to_o idolatry_n it_o be_v not_o lawful_a for_o he_o to_o go_v to_o the_o church_n in_o such_o garment_n and_o to_o hear_v divine_a service_n and_o if_o lawful_a for_o he_o to_o hear_v why_o not_o for_o the_o minister_n to_o say_v service_n in_o such_o garment_n also_o we_o find_v that_o grove_n be_v plant_v and_o dedicate_v to_o idol_n and_o yet_o gideon_n command_v by_o the_o lord_n to_o offer_v

liberty_n but_o that_o he_o ought_v sometime_o to_o refrain_v from_o it_o and_o to_o moderate_v it_o which_o be_v the_o scope_n and_o drift_n of_o a_o great_a part_n of_o this_o chap._n and_o of_o the_o eight_o chap._n and_o part_n of_o the_o ten_o of_o the_o first_o to_o the_o corinthian_n there_o be_v two_o moderator_n of_o this_o liberty_n the_o one_o general_n the_o other_o special_a 1_o the_o general_n be_v charity_n which_o direct_v when_o and_o where_o it_o be_v to_o be_v use_v 2_o the_o special_a be_v lawful_a authority_n by_o sanction_n civil_a or_o ecclesiastical_a for_o the_o civil_a magistrate_n for_o the_o common_a good_a may_v abridge_v our_o liberty_n in_o thing_n indifferent_a as_o for_o instance_n it_o be_v lawful_a for_o a_o man_n to_o use_v any_o trade_n but_o for_o the_o common_a good_a it_o may_v be_v enact_v that_o no_o man_n may_v use_v or_o set_v up_o a_o trade_n for_o the_o which_o he_o have_v not_o serve_v certain_a year_n and_o also_o that_o no_o man_n though_o so_o serve_v shall_v set_v up_o such_o trade_n in_o certain_a place_n without_o a_o special_a freedom_n also_o it_o be_v lawful_a for_o the_o magistrate_n to_o forbid_v the_o exportation_n of_o corn_n leather_n etc._n etc._n though_o it_o be_v as_o lawful_a for_o merchant_n to_o use_v traffic_n in_o those_o thing_n in_o regard_n of_o the_o thing_n themselves_o as_o in_o other_o commodity_n so_o to_o restrain_v the_o eat_n of_o flesh_n on_o certain_a day_n both_o to_o give_v a_o occasion_n to_o the_o subject_n of_o fast_v and_o prayer_n and_o also_o for_o the_o preservation_n of_o the_o breed_n of_o cattle_n and_o for_o the_o maintain_n of_o navigation_n also_o the_o church_n have_v power_n to_o determine_v the_o use_n of_o indifferent_a rite_n and_o ceremony_n in_o god_n public_a worship_n for_o the_o maintain_n of_o good_a order_n and_o uniformity_n as_o for_o instance_n it_o be_v in_o itself_o indifferent_a to_o pray_v stand_v or_o kneel_v to_o receive_v the_o lord_n supper_n sit_v or_o kneel_v now_o the_o church_n have_v authority_n here_o to_o determine_v of_o that_o gesture_n which_o be_v most_o orderly_a and_o decent_a from_o that_o of_o paul_n 13.5_o 1._o cor._n 14.40_o rom._n 13.5_o let_v all_o thing_n be_v do_v decent_o and_o in_o order_n and_o this_o determination_n be_v of_o conscience_n to_o be_v obey_v neither_o by_o this_o do_v i_o give_v any_o power_n to_o the_o civil_a or_o ecclesiastical_a magistrate_n over_o the_o conscience_n of_o man_n for_o by_o their_o law_n the_o inward_a liberty_n of_o the_o conscience_n be_v not_o take_v away_o but_o the_o outward_a use_n only_o restrain_v for_o good_a order_n sake_n hence_o may_v be_v deduce_v two_o conclusion_n concern_v the_o abstain_v and_o the_o use_n of_o our_o liberty_n 1_o when_o the_o magistrate_n have_v determine_v than_o we_o must_v abstain_v from_o the_o use_n of_o our_o liberty_n and_o hold_v to_o the_o determination_n whosoever_o be_v offend_v because_o not_o to_o obey_v the_o magistrate_n be_v a_o sin_n unto_o which_o no_o man_n upon_o any_o respect_n be_v bind_v also_o we_o must_v abstain_v when_o such_o abstinence_n may_v be_v to_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n and_o the_o edify_n of_o our_o brother_n and_o when_o the_o use_n of_o our_o liberty_n understand_v in_o such_o thing_n which_o be_v leave_v in_o our_o power_n may_v endanger_v our_o weak_a brother_n now_o he_o be_v to_o be_v account_v the_o weak_a one_o who_o be_v yet_o ignorant_a of_o christian_a liberty_n and_o yet_o willing_a to_o learn_v as_o the_o jew_n of_o who_o

be_v confirm_v by_o the_o practice_n of_o the_o apostle_n who_o for_o a_o time_n bear_v with_o circumcision_n purification_n vow_n etc._n etc._n namely_o till_o the_o gospel_n and_o the_o doctrine_n of_o christian_a liberty_n be_v sufficient_o and_o full_o publish_v by_o they_o and_o yet_o there_o ought_v to_o be_v a_o great_a difference_n put_v between_o the_o weak_a jew_n and_o such_o among_o we_o who_o will_v sometime_o pretend_v weakness_n because_o the_o jew_n have_v direct_a command_n from_o god_n for_o that_o which_o they_o do_v but_o we_o have_v nothing_o to_o ground_n upon_o but_o

some_o man_n be_v offend_v at_o the_o fashion_n or_o colour_n of_o my_o garment_n what_o shall_v i_o do_v i_o must_v discreet_o and_o gentle_o inform_v he_o of_o my_o liberty_n render_v he_o a_o reason_n ground_v upon_o the_o word_n if_o he_o will_v still_o be_v offend_v then_o it_o be_v not_o weakness_n but_o perverseness_n and_o peevishness_n such_o be_v not_o a_o little_a one_o 18.6_o
