impose_v the_o present_a ceremony_n out_o of_o due_a reverence_n to_o antiquity_n be_v false_a &_o hypocritical_a 2._o that_o it_o can_v just_o be_v pretend_v that_o these_o ceremony_n be_v retain_v and_o impose_v to_o manifest_v the_o justice_n and_o equity_n of_o the_o reformation_n by_o let_v their_o enemy_n see_v they_o do_v not_o break_v communion_n with_o they_o for_o mere_a indifferent_a thing_n or_o that_o we_o leave_v the_o church_n of_o rome_n no_o further_a than_o she_o leave_v antiquity_n 3._o hence_o it_o appear_v how_o senseless_o it_o be_v allege_v that_o we_o can_v abate_v or_o change_v these_o ceremony_n because_o they_o have_v be_v once_o receive_v and_o own_a by_o the_o church_n novelty_n but_o in_o the_o next_o place_n the_o descending_z into_o particular_n will_v

be_v a_o mere_a constitution_n of_o the_o will_n of_o man._n then_o do_v we_o make_v ceremony_n to_o be_v part_n of_o divine_a worship_n when_o we_o suppose_v they_o to_o be_v so_o necessary_a that_o the_o do_v of_o they_o will_v be_v a_o thing_n please_v to_o god_n and_o the_o omit_v of_o they_o the_o contrary_a although_o there_o be_v no_o humane_a law_n which_o require_v the_o do_v of_o they_o
