The third part of Christian liberty is, that the consciences of the faithful, are discharged & freed from the aceremonies of the law: that is, from the necessity and burden of the observation of the legal ceremonies: as the eating of certain meats, the observation of certain feasts, and the like. Which things in their own nature are but things indifferent, bso that it is little pertinent to godliness, simply whether they be used, or not used. I ad simply for that in some respect, and for some circumstance the use of such things might be profitable, as shall after appear in place convenient.
