The divine right of church-government and excommunication

It is against sense, that order is commanded in the third Commandment, but not Surplice, Crossing, because they are by accident orderly; what agreeth essentially to the general, agreeth not essentially and necessarily to the species and particulars which are by accident under that general, as what agreeth to a man, agreeth not to white and black men. Decency is commanded, but by accident, and by mans will Surplice is decent. But then God commanding Sacraments, should not command Bread and Wine, for they are by accident, and by Gods will Sacraments, he might have chosen other Elements, yet the will of God commanding Sacraments, ⟨p. 142⟩commandeth this and this Sacrament also: What agreeth essentially to man, agreeth essentially to all men black and white. If Gods will essentially concur to constitute decency in his own worship, then must that same will essentially concur to constitute this decency, in Surplice, Crossing. 2. It supposeth a great untruth, that Crossing is not worship, because not ordained of God, but that proveth it is not Lawful worship, but not, that it is non-worship, for Crossing used to the honour of Baal, and to edify souls in performing their duty to Baal, is essentially a worshipping of Baal, otherwayes worshipping of Idols is not Worship, and yet it is an Act of Religious honouring of the Idol. 3. The Command that commandeth, or forbiddeth the end, commandeth and forbiddeth the means (Thou shalt not murder) forbiddeth the Master, not to command his servant to ride an extremely deep and impetuous River, though the not riding of such a River be not set down in the word, and it is not forbidden as an Arbitrary action: If therefore decency bind the conscience, then the decency of this Rite, to wit, Crossing bindeth the conscience; Our Ceremonies are not National; for Crossing being a Religious Rite, in all the world its alike decent; Ergo, non▪ Crossing in some Country cannot be undecent; Things merely Religious, as all significant Ceremonies are of alike nature every where, and admit not of heat and cold with divers climates, are of good or evil manners, with divers Nations, therefore they must be determined in the word; the man who Prefaced on our Service book said, without some Ceremonies it is impossible to keep any order, or quiet Discipline in the Church.
