1The Ceremonial, or laws derived of God by Moses concerning ceremonies, that is, external solemn actions and gestures, which in the public worship of God are to be performed, with the due observation of the same circumstances which are prescribed, binding the Jews until the coming of the Messiah: that they should distinguish this people and the Church from others; and should be signs, symbols, types or shadows of spiritual things to be fulfilled in the New Testament by Christ.2 That this definition may be understood, we must know what Ceremonies are: to wit, solemn external actions, that is, often to be after the same manner, and with the same circumstances reiterated, ordained of God, or of men also, to be used in the external service or worship of God, for order, or signification sake. But the ceremonies, which are ordained of God, are simply and absolutely divine worship. The ceremonies which are ordained and instituted of men, if they be good, are a worship only serving for divine worship.
