1If all Laws and Ordinances devised by men that cannot make them that obey them and practise them perfect, as pertaining to conscience, are to end in this time of Reformation, then will it follow, al• our Stature Laws, and our Ordinances of Parliament; are to be abolished, ⟨p. 5⟩for they are devised by men, and cannot make perfect as pertaining to Conscience; but if he say that he means such Laws and Ordinances of men, whereby the Civill Magistrate gives his civill sanction, to confirm and establish certain Laws and Constitutions for external conformity, in outward duties of outward worship and government, as he speaks more plainly in p. 5. l. 26. If he mean that such Laws and Ordinances as these are to be abolished, I demand whether this reflects not on the wisdom and Honour of both the Honourable Houses of Parliament, who have made certain Laws and Ordinances about Church-Government, and confirmed them by their civill sanction, yet these must be abolished; but 'tis not to be doubted but that the Honourable Houses have showed more wisdom and judgment in ratifying those Ordinances, then Mr. Dell can show strength of Argument to abolish them.
