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?
A. No, this in Scripture is condemned as Will-worship, Col. 2.20, 22, 23. Wherefore if ye be dead with Christ from the rudiments of the world, why, as though living in the world are ye subject to ordinances? &c. Which things indeed have a show of wisdom in will-worship, &c.
