I pray you what ment Saint Paule in. 1. Co. 14. after he had pre∣scribed certaine orders vnto them to be obserued in the Church, thus generally to conclude, Omnia decenter & ordine fiant. Let all things be done de∣cently and in order. Doth he not there giue vnto them authoritie to make orders in the Church, so that al things be done in order and de∣cently? The best interpreters doe vnderstande this as a generall rule giuen vnto the Churche to examine hir traditions and constitu∣tions by: And therefore without all doubt their iudgement is, that the Church hath authoritie in externall things, to make orders, and appoint lawes not expressed in the worde of God, so that this rule of the Apostle be obserued.
Here haue you not answered one word to that which I haue alleadged out of the* 1.1 1. Cor. 14. for the i〈1 line〉〈1 line〉stifying of my generall assertion in this point, nor to the interpre∣tation of it: that therefore being graunted, the rest must néedes stande in full force, that is, that the scripture hathe lefte many thinges to the discretion of the Church.
