be_v in_o a_o special_a manner_n tie_v to_o the_o solemn_a worship_n of_o god_n in_o these_o ceremony_n consist_v the_o external_a form_n of_o divine_a worship_n and_o they_o be_v the_o outward_a

rudeness_n and_o want_n of_o civility_n to_o neglect_v or_o contemn_v a_o civil_a ceremony_n so_o it_o be_v profane_v &_o irreligion_n to_o neglect_v or_o contemn_v a_o religious_a ceremony_n &_o as_o outward_a civility_n consist_v in_o the_o due_a use_n of_o civil_a ceremony_n so_o outward_a holiness_n &_o religion_n consist_v in_o the_o due_a use_n of_o all_o religious_a ceremony_n those_o ceremony_n therefore_o be_v profane_a and_o not_o beseem_v the_o true_a worship_n of_o god_n that_o be_v so_o far_o from_o any_o show_n of_o holiness_n in_o the_o use_n of_o they_o that_o they_o make_v the_o party_n that_o refuse_v the_o use_n of_o they_o to_o seem_v and_o to_o be_v repute_v pure_a holy_a and_o precise_a of_o which_o nature_n our_o ceremony_n in_o controversy_n be_v 7._o as_o civil_a ceremony_n tend_v to_o the_o honour_n of_o they_o unto_o who_o civil_a worship_n be_v due_a &_o be_v a_o part_n thereof_o so_o religious_a ceremony_n tend_v to_o the_o honour_n of_o he_o unto_o who_o religious_a worship_n be_v due_a and_o be_v a_o part_n thereof_o neither_o can_v a_o man_n possible_o imagine_v how_o any_o thing_n shall_v be_v religious_a whether_o a_o substance_n or_o a_o ceremony_n but_o it_o must_v needs_o respect_v he_o that_o religion_n itself_o respect_v as_o therefore_o we_o perform_v civil_a honour_n unto_o those_o unto_o who_o we_o perform_v civil_a ceremony_n so_o we_o perform_v religious_a &_o divine_a honour_n unto_o those_o that_o we_o obey_v in_o a_o religious_a ceremony_n they_o therefore_o that_o claim_n &_o perform_v obedience_n therein_o do_v claim_n &_o perform_v that_o which_o be_v due_a only_a to_o god_n 8._o nothing_o intend_v or_o do_v by_o man_n be_v a_o honour_n to_o god_n but_o that_o which_o be_v a_o obedience_n unto_o god_n in_o some_o commandment_n all_o ceremony_n therefore_o of_o religion_n that_o be_v a_o honour_n unto_o god_n must_v be_v command_v by_o god_n himself_o and_o to_o bring_v in_o such_o ceremony_n into_o his_o worship_n as_o be_v no_o honour_n to_o he_o be_v to_o mock_v god_n 9_o all_o religious_a ceremony_n or_o ceremony_n of_o religion_n be_v spiritnall_a that_o be_v be_v ordain_v for_o spiritual_a use_n and_o end_n and_o not_o for_o civil_a or_o temporal_a and_o therefore_o be_v outward_a note_n and_o testimony_n of_o those_o thing_n that_o make_v we_o spiritual_a man_n and_o they_o be_v part_n of_o spiritual_a honour_n due_a unto_o spiritual_a authority_n and_o lordship_n 10._o all_o spiritual_a lord_n may_v claim_v as_o their_o due_n spiritual_a worship_n and_o therefore_o may_v institute_v religious_a ceremony_n for_o look_v what_o difference_n there_o be_v between_o humane_a and_o divine_a temporal_a &_o spiritual_a the_o same_o difference_n there_o be_v between_o the_o peculiar_a worship_n due_a to_o the_o one_o and_o to_o the_o other_o if_o therefore_o temporal_a lord_n may_v require_v all_o civil_a rite_n and_o honour_n spiritual_a lord_n may_v require_v all_o divine_a and_o spiritual_a rite_n and_o honour_n 11._o civil_a honour_n &_o reverence_n only_o can_v not_o nor_o ought_v not_o to_o please_v a_o spiritual_a lord_n hence_o it_o be_v that_o the_o spiritual_a lord_n of_o our_o church_n can_v content_v themselves_o with_o such_o honour_n that_o we_o give_v to_o civil_a magistrate_n and_o prince_n but_o we_o must_v obey_v they_o in_o peculiar_a religious_a duty_n and_o service_n and_o sure_o it_o be_v meet_v that_o if_o there_o be_v any_o such_o beside_o christ_n that_o we_o perform_v spiritual_a homage_n unto_o they_o and_o they_o be_v not_o worthy_a that_o high_a style_n that_o will_v be_v content_a with_o temporall_n when_o spirituall_n be_v due_a 12._o those_o ceremony_n that_o be_v enjoin_v by_o true_a spiritual_a lord_n be_v true_o spiritual_a &_o holy_a even_o as_o spiritual_a and_o holy_a as_o the_o sacrament_n though_o they_o consist_v of_o some_o thing_n in_o their_o own_o nature_n indifferent_a and_o those_o lord_n be_v not_o spiritual_a that_o be_v not_o able_a by_o their_o sole_a authority_n and_o word_n to_o hallow_v that_o which_o before_o be_v not_o holy_a 13._o those_o that_o can_v make_v a_o surplice_n a_o cope_n a_o cross_n etc._n etc._n to_o be_v ornament_n of_o religion_n and_o holy_a ceremony_n can_v when_o it_o please_v they_o make_v a_o shave_a crown_n a_o monk_n habit_n spittle_n in_o baptism_n holy_a water_n the_o triple_a crown_n &_o all_o the_o missal_n rite_n as_o holy_a for_o they_o be_v all_o of_o the_o same_o nature_n and_o those_o that_o can_v find_v no_o reason_n to_o prove_v those_o unholy_a and_o unlawful_a will_v find_v none_o to_o prove_v any_o other_o external_a rite_n to_o be_v so_o if_o they_o shall_v in_o the_o same_o manner_n be_v impose_v 14._o those_o that_o have_v power_n upon_o their_o own_o will_n and_o pleasure_n to_o bring_v into_o god_n service_n some_o indifferent_a thing_n may_v bring_v in_o any_o nature_n any_o for_o all_o indifferent_a
