From this servitude,1 saith Paul, God hath delivered you. Now are ye free, and no more bond: now are ye the children and heirs of God. From this liberty the Galatians were fallen away to the servile observation of Circumcisions, Washings, and other Ceremonies of the Law. Therefore of this liberty and of this bondage S. Paul speaketh, and of none other.

To condition of a place, saith M. Harding, were mere Jewish: for as S. Paul saith to the Galatians, ye observe months and days, so might he say unto you, ye observe places. Thus he saith, as though he him self had no choice of place to say his Mass in.1 He moveth talk of place, whereof we had no question: but the number of Communicants, whereof S. Paul so plainly speaketh, he thought best to salve with silence. If these men account all utter things to be worldly Elements, then must they take away the Bread and Wine in the holy Ministration: the water in Baptism: the words of the Gospel: the whole Ministry, and all kind of Civil policy. Al these be utter creatures, given to us by God, to be used freely, without servile observation, or subjection of Conscience. For God hath appointed these things for us, not us for them.
To condition of a place, saithe M. Hardinge, were meere Iewishe: for as S. Paule saithe to the Galathians, ye obserue monethes and dayes, so might he say vnto you, ye obserue places. Thus he saithe, as though he him selfe had no choise of place to say his Masse in.
