SECT. 6. Concerning Jewish Ceremonies.
SECT. 6. Concerning Iewish Ceremonies.
1. IN the Abridgement, after the former reason, now maintained, this was brought in: that In the time of the Law (when God saw it good to teach his Church by significant Ceremonies) none might be brought into, or received in the worship of God, but such only as the Lord himself did institute. Ergo. And after that, this: It is much less lawful, for man to bring significant Ceremonies into Gods worship now, then it was under the Law. For God hath abrogated his own (not only such as prefigured Christ, but such also, as served by their signification, to teach moral duties) so as now (without great sin) none of them can be continued in the Church, no not for signification. Upon which last ground, they infer thus: If those Ceremonies which God himself ordained to teach his Church by their signification, may not now be used, much less may those which man hath devised.
