5 Yea▪ so also we may suspend the use of all outward things, by Beacons Antinomian argument, we need not hear, pray, praise, receive Sacraments, teach the ignorant, comfort the the feeble minded, relieve the poor, visit the sick, &c. Why? all these are both outward things and are abused, most men place all religion in them, as in Pauls time, Gal. 2. they placed religion in circumcision, & the Jews placed all holiness in them, Es. •.

6 Why then was Christ circumcised? for in his time many said they were Abraham's circumcised sons, and that was enough to save them, which was to place all religion in circumcision; but though we may suspend the use of things indifferent, when religion is placed in them, yet may we not neglect commanded external ordinances, because they think they are good christians, if they be baptised and go to Church, nor doth Paul Gal. 2. think circumcision to be nothing but a thing indifferent, for that the false Apostles and be witched Galatians thought their Justification stood in circumcision, but Paul saith, Gal. 5. Not only circumcision was not indifferent, but damnable and whosoever was circumcised, had fallen from Christ.
