Furthermore / as the wisdom of God hath thought it the best way / to keep his people from infection of idolatry / to make them most unlike the idolaters: so hath the same wisdom of God thought good / that to keep his people in the unity of the truth / there is no better way / then that they should be most like one to an other / and that as much as possibly may be / they should have all the same ceremonies. And therefore S. Paul to establish this order in the church of Corinth / 1that they should make their gatherings for the pore upon the first day of the Sabbath (which is our sunday) allegeth this for a reason / that he had so ordained in other churches / so that as children of one father / and servants of one family / he will have all the churches / not only have one diet / in that they have one word / but also wear / as it were one livery / in using the same ceremonies.
