The divine right of church-government and excommunication

When the Heretic willeth me to prove from Scripture that Christ is very man; it is a vain thing he should demand of me beside to prove by Scripture, that Christ is such a one also as can laugh, weep, admire, sing, sigh, &c. for these are presupposed to follow mans nature; and if Scripture prove Christ to be a true man, it presupposeth by natures light, that he can laugh, he can weep, and that in some time, some place, in some habit, in some gesture, so he be a man; for that is presupposed by the light of nature, and known by the most Barbarous who never heard of Scripture; and therefore there is no greater reason to put us to prove all the natural and unseparable circumstances of Worship, such as time and place, without which it is impossible any action at all can be performed; then that we should press Prelates to prove by Scripture, that James Usher is born of English or Irish Parents, for sense and nature can prove all these without Scripture: But because their Ceremonies of Crossing, bowing to Altars, Festival days, Oil, Salt, Spittle, Mass▪ clothes, are nothing warrantable by natures light, and must have Moral and Symbolical influence in Worship, as positive Religious observances, having some spiritual signification and use, (except they be reasonless fancies) we have just reason to demand a warrant and special Charter for all Morals, and so for their Ceremonies in the Scripture, and to call their &c. humane Ceremonies and the like, a blind: For if Prelates can prove these Ceremonies to be from Christ, and warranted by his Testament, we shall yield that their natural circumstances of time, when you should Bow to Altars, and Cross a Baptized Infant, and where, or in what place you should wear Surplice; and that the person that useth Oil, Spittle, Salt, in Baptism, must do it in some habit, and with some gesture, either sitting, standing, lying, or kneeling, are all warrantable and lawful from the light of nature; for if Gods light of Scripture, warrant wearing of a Surplice, as it doth warrant ⟨p. 6⟩Sacramental eating and drinking, the light of nature must warrant these concreated, natural, and unseparable circumstances of time, place, person, habit, gesture used in both the former and the latter.
