OVT OF THE CONFESSION OF BASIL.
* 1.1 THe Church of Christ doth herein labour all that she can, to keepe the bondes of peace and loue in vnitie. Therefore she doth by no meanes communicate with sectes, and the rules of orders, deuised to make a difference of daies, meates, apparell, and ceremonies.
* 1.2 No man can prohibit that, which Christ him selfe hath not prohibited. For this cause we know that auricular con∣fession, holy daies dedicated to saints, and such like thinges, had there beginning of men, and were not commaunded of God, as on the other side we know, that the mariage of mi¦nisters was not forbidden,
And againe, No man can forbid those thinges which * 1.3God hath permitted: therefore we thinke, that it is not by anie meanes forbidden to receiue meates with thankes∣giuing.
