In the example of this rule, the Rej. is so subtle in his subliming and refining of notions, that he hath these words: The observance of the order appointed for reading, singing, praying, &c. is in respect of that order of the substance thereof, but referred to divine service is a cerem. In this (I say) no more good sense appears then needs must, for putt those words together: The observance of order, in respect of that order is of the substance thereof: without all question: as a man in respect of the same man is of his substance: So also the observance of a cerem. in respect of that ceremony is of the substance thereof: Here is no difference, neither indeed can any difference be intelligibly feigned betwixt order of divine service, and ⟨p. 35⟩order in relation to divine service, but human Cerem. must thus be handled.

For a conclusion of this, that we may not altogether send the Reader away with these uncertainties, withdrawing our selves from the Rej. his by paths, we will in a word or two, a little enquire, what the word of truth, gives us to consider, touching Ceremonies, and see if we can hit the old and the good way, the Kings road of righteousness.
