There is a glorious liberty which is celestial in heaven, Rom. 8. 21. On earth there is a liberty temporal, 1 Cor. 10. 29. This liberty is best when •ffence is neither given nor taken. There is a liberty spiritual, Joh. 8. 36. which consists in deliverance from evil, from sin, from the punishment of the Law, Rom. 8. 1. Col. 3. 13. from the strict observation of the Law, which saith; do and live; freedom in respect of God, to have free access to serve him in the Name of Christ, Rom. 5. 2. To serve him without fear, in righteousness and holiness, Luk. 1. 74. and freedom in respect of the creatures, to use or not to use our dominion lost by Adam, it being restored by Christ, so that all are ours, 1 Cor. 3. 22. all being pure to the pure, Rom. 14. 14. There is also a carnal liberty to swear, to lye, to slander, to serve God when and how men list, to shun Gods Ordinances and publick Meetings; and this is a liberty stood for by some, whereas this is no Christian liberty, but a dissolute licentiousness; for notwithstanding our liberty, we must pay debts, and perform duties, to whom debts or duties belong. Scripture mentions a good, a cleer, a pure, a purged, a weak, an evil, and a feared conscience. If the conscience for which men plead liberty, loves divisions, which God hates, it is but a bad conscience.

There is a certain ignoto called, they say, who affirms, that if the Magistrate enjoyns, liberty is lost. And when we reply, grant that and confusion will follow in families, in Kingdoms. To this, this Ignaro answers; in civil and temporal matters the Magistrate may command, and we lawfully obey, not in Ecclesiastical and religious; but alas, this pitiful single umbra either knows not or fo•gets, that the actions of Gods worship are either essential or circumstantial; essential are principal, as piety, holiness, or subordinate, as helps to the better performing and declaring of such worship, as prayer preaching, Sacraments, concerning which we may consider, That they, as prayer, preaching, Sacraments, are necessarily to be performed, because instituted of God. 2. Circumnantia•, which shew the manner how they are to be performed, concerning the place, time, gesture, &c. these are left to the Church, 1 Cor. 11. 24. St. Paul would order such things when he came, and saw what was convenient, Act. 15. 29. the Church then enjoyned things long since abrogated. Titus must order things in Creet, and St. Peter enjoyns, 1 Pet. 2. 13. to submit to every Ordinance of man; submit therefore, honour, pay all duties; to every humane Ordinance, humane because proper to men, and by some humane act, for the Lords sake, namely, under God, of God, from God; to every, to all Governours, good and bad, in all things which do not cross Piety and Religion; our obedience is to go so far as their commission is to command; not to civil causes only, but to religious also; and wherein their precepts may not be followed, our obedience must be passive. But whatsoever lawful thing is appointed by the Church, for order and decency, may with a good conscience, yea ought to be obeyed.

He did sit; what Christ did not do, we must not do. He did not kneel, what Christ did we must do. Whoso reads seriously the Evangelists, will not take Christs example as a rule to guide the Church in all circumstances, in administring and delivering the Eucharist; for must we deliver it upon Maunday Thursday, in a chamber, not in a Church, only to twelve at once, those only men, and Clergy men? Must we deliver it to them lying or leaning upon one anothers bosom, not in the morning but at night, not fasting but after supper; and must the deliverer wash the receivers feet? 2. Christ did not make his example our pattern in such circumstances of time, Communicants gesture, &c. but left his to be guided by his Church in all matters of comeliness and order. We read of St. Pauls setting things in order, yea seeming to cross the order of Christ, forbidding the Corinthians to sup before, 1 Cor. 11. 21. And the Church in St. Augustines time did receive the Communion fasting, Epist. 18. Chap. 6. he saith the whole Church, the world over, received it fasting; that Christ left the manner of receiving to the Apostles, that they appointed it to be received fasting, and that the altering of the receiving of it after supper to take it fasting, was the Ordinance of the holy Ghost; for the honour of the Sacrament, to have it enter before any external meat ▪ Object. Christ did sit, Mat. 26. 20. Answ. Christ did not sit as we do; but according to the custom of those Eastern Countreys, did administer, as the Passeover, so his Supper, lying on the floor upon couches, Esth. 1. 6. Mr. Beza from Josephus concludes, that they did lye upon couches, that one lay upon his next fellow, with their feet laid outward. And the Greek word shews as much, NONLATINALPHABET, Mat. 26. 20. Macc. 14. 18. Joh. 13. 23. NONLATINALPHABET, signifying to sit upon a bed, to take meat after the ancient custom. And in Luk. 22 14. NONLATINALPHABET, signifying to lye along, to lye down. The posture was therefore leaning or lying along, not sitting; besides, the gesture was changed from God's appointment, Exod. 12. 11. Obj. What Christ did not, we must not do. Christ did not kneel, therefore we may not. Answ. Christ did not give it in the morning, nor to Lay-men, to no women, not in a Church. Christ did not give, nor the Apostles receive it standing nor sitting, as not kneeling, therefore he left such particulars to the wisdom of the Church to order.

Mr. Fox Preface to the Works of Mr. Tyndal, saith, Albeit increasing of learning, of Tongues, and Sciences, with quickness of wit in youth, and others doth marvellously shoot up, as it is to be seen to the sufficient furnishing of Christs Church; yet so it happeneth, I cannot tell how, the farther I look back into those former times of Tyndal, Frith, and other like, more simplicity, with true zeal, with humble modesty I see, with less corruption of affections in them — In opening of Scriptures, what truth, what soundness can a man require more, or what more is to be said than is found in Tyndal, &c. The same is the judgment of the Learned and witty Prefacer to the Treatise, called the Book-Fish, (containing certain Treatises of John Frith the Martyr, taken out of a Cod-fishes belly in Cambridge Market, Anno 1626. and after published. The Author of that notable Preface is thought to have been Dr. Thomas Goad of Haddenham, one of our five Divines that were at the Synod of Dort. This Author saith also, He knows not how, but he finds a better spirit, more vivacity, and efficacy in the writings of the first Reformers, than in the more accurate labours of these of our times. For new lights, hear the judgment of the old Non-Conformists. Opinions now embraced as new truths and lights, are no other for substance, but the old errors and dotages of Barrow and Greenwood long since published by them, and by the godly opposed; so that like rusty weapons they are newly furbished, and being but the same metals and materials, are cast into a new mold, with an addition of some things more of the same sort.

Peter de Moulin, Epist. 36. quotes Beza, saying many things may, yea and must be born with, which are not rightly enjoyned; for spiritual liberty lyeth not in the outward act, but in the intention and belief. If a thing in it self be enjoyned to us, it must neither be obeyed in the act, nor assented to in the understanding and the will. But if the thing be indifferent in it self, and yet seem in the j•dgment inconvenient, we may and must do it, and neither wrong our liberty, nor our conscience; for in such cases our actions are limitted, although our consciences be free; and the superior power may bind us in soro exteriori, and leave us free in soro interiori, wherein Christian liberty lyeth; and cites a place in Calvins Instit. lib. 4. cap 20. Artic. 1. spiritual liberty and political bondage will stand well together — And let not the consequence trouble you, as long as the thing commanded is lawful in it self, we are not answerable of the consequence that may follow, but they who command it. And we who move in the orbe of obedience, must quietly follow the motions of the high•r sphear of authority. To push against it, inconsiderately under pretence of God's service, is dashing the second Table against the first, and breaking both; and cites Beza, Epist. 24. saying, That man abuseth Christian liberty, or rather is sold under sin, who will not with a free will obey in the Lord his Magistrates or Superiors, and seeketh not to edifie the consciences of his Brethren.
