appointed by ye commaundement of God, the Bishop saith he knoweth not what could be con∣cluded of it: I haue shewed before that there is nothing lesse ment, than that the Church vnder the Gospell should haue al those things that ye Church had, or should haue nothing which that had not. But this ther vpon is concluded, that the Lord which was so carefull for that, as not to omitte the least, would not be so carelesse for this Church vnder the Gospell, as to omit the greatest.

Io. Whitgifte.* 1.1

I tolde you before, that this which you call the perfection of the Synagogue, was rather a burthen than a perfection: for God therfore prescribed vnto them a prescript forme of externall things, that it mighte be a meanes to kéepe them from further in∣conuenience, but to vs in such things he hath lefte a greater libertie: and the perfecti∣on of the Church doth not consist in outward appearance, but in spirituall giftes, and therin hath the Lorde muche more plentifully and gratiou〈1 line〉〈1 line〉ly shewed his care for the Church vnder the Gospell, than he did for it vnder the lawe.

Touching externall orders both of ceremonies and gouernment he hath lefte the disposition therof to his Church in many things, as I haue proued in the beginning of* 1.2 this booke.
