Which words are confused, and draw with them dangerous inconveniences, when Institution and intended observation, are made simply all one: For neither is all institution, an observation, because many things are instituted, which are not observed. 2. Neither is an intended free observation for one time used: an institution, 3. an institution with authority implieth much more in it, then intended observation. Dr. Jackson in his original of unbelief, 1pag. 334.335. very aptly to this purpose noteth, that some expressions may sometime be used, and observed ⟨p. 27⟩well, which to use ordinarily, (much more to institute) •ould be ridiculous or impious. As Jacob did unblameablely •ish his son Josephs coat, yet to have hanged it about his •edd, or table, that it might receive such salutations, evening and morning, or at every meal time, might have countenanced many branches of superstition: once and use it not, may be discretion, of those things whose continual use degenerates into abuse. All observers of Ceremonies are not instituters of them, I think D. B. would be loath, to institute the Cross, and Surplice, with other Cerem: which yet he doth observe: In his interpretations of subscription he refuseth to defend, how well these be imposed (that is as I take it instituted) and yet acknowledgeth, the intended observation of them, to be very well: Beside all this, it is to be marked, that the Rej. by confounding institution and purposed observance, doth exclude or forget all natural ceremonies, such as bowing of the body before superiors, embracing of those, who are dear unto us, lifting up the hands and eyes to heaven in ordinary worship, which nature it self doth teach all nations to observe, without any institution, though not without some government of counsel, nor without such variety, as nature it self is subject unto: Again if by this phrase he mean that a purposed observation of an outward act, with an aim and reference to such a thing, is of necessity required to make up a Cerem: or a Ceremonious action, in worship or otherwise, it is a miserable mistake: Instance thus:
