For our onely Law-giver and Interpreter of his Fathers will, Jesus Christ hath prescribed and fore-appointed the rule according to which he would have his Worship and the Go∣vernment of his own House to be ordered. To wrest this rule of Christ laid open in his holy Word, to the Counsels,
Wills, Manners, Devices or Lawes of Men, is most hight im∣piety; But contrarily, the Law of Faith commandeth the counsell and purposes of men to be framed and conformed to this rule, and overturneth all the reasonings of worldly wisdome, and bringeth into captivity the thoughts of the proud swelling minde to the obedience of Christ: Neither ought the voice of any to take place or bee rested upon in the Church, but the voice of Christ alone.
