Q. 1. What makes any thing become a Divine Ordinance?
A. The institution or appointment of God, is that alone which makes a Divine Ordinance, Matth. 28.20. Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you, &c.
Q. 2. Are the institutions of all Ordinances alike clear in Scripture.
A. No, some are more explicitly and clearly revealed in Scripture than others; as the Lords Supper more clear than Baptism, but whatever hath Scripture warrant in the words or consequence, is of divine appointment.
Q. 3. May not men institute Ordinances of Divine Worship?
