Lindsey saith, that in the particular circumstances of persons •y whom, place where, time when, and o• the form and order how the worship and work of the ministry should be performed h• Church hath power to define whatsoever is most expedient, and that this is a prerogative wherein the Christian Church differeth •rom the Jewish Synagogue: They do but speak their pleasure in vain, and cannot make it appear, that the Christian Church hath any more power to add to the commandments of God, then the Synagogue had of old.
