It is not necessary that traditions and ceremonies be in all places one or utterly alike; for at all times they have been diverse, and may be changed according to the diversity of countries, times, and men’s manners, so that nothing is ordained against God’s Word. Whoever through his private judgment willingly and purposely does openly break the traditions and ceremonies of the Church which are not repugnant to the Word of God, and are ordained and approved by common authority, ought to be rebuked openly that others may fear to do the like, as he that offends against Common order of the Church, and hurts the authority of the magistrate, and wounds the conscience of the weak brethren. Every particular or national Church has authority to ordain, change, and abolish ceremonies or rites of the Church ordained only by human authority, so that all things are done for edification.
