§. 4. God hath already in his written Laws, instituted his public worship-ordinances: and therefore he hath done it perfectly: and therefore he hath not left it unto man to come after him and mend his work, by making other ordinances of worship, as to the substance of them. He hath given us one faith, and no man may preach another, and one Baptism, and no man may institute another: and so of the like. If any one bring another Gospel, though an Angel, he is to be accursed, Gal. 1.7, 8.

§. 5. Yet is it in the Power of man to determine of such Modes and Circumstances as are necessary to the performance of that worship which God hath instituted in his word: And therefore lawful Governors may in such cases bind us by their commands.
