object_v i_o have_v answer_v in_o the_o begin_n of_o this_o confutation_n now_o only_o i_o note_v 1._o how_o loose_o he_o describe_v that_o superstition_n which_o he_o call_v affirmative_a as_o if_o no_o man_n can_v use_v any_o thing_n superstitious_o except_o he_o do_v hold_v that_o without_o it_o the_o faith_n of_o christianity_n or_o the_o true_a worship_n of_o god_n can_v not_o possible_o consist_v never_o be_v there_o such_o a_o description_n give_v by_o any_o man_n that_o consider_v what_o he_o say_v 2._o how_o manful_o he_o conclude_v our_o negative_a superstition_n upon_o this_o ground_n that_o christ_n have_v leave_v these_o ceremony_n free_a which_o be_v the_o main_a quaestion_n betwixt_o he_o and_o we_o 3._o how_o he_o misreporteth_a our_o opinion_n in_o say_v absolute_o that_o we_o hold_v a_o surplice_n to_o have_v unholinesse_n and_o pollution_n in_o it_o whereas_o we_o hold_v that_o it_o be_v only_o make_v more_o unfit_a for_o god_n service_n than_o it_o be_v before_o through_o idolatrous_a abuse_n but_o yet_o unto_o other_o use_v it_o may_v be_v apply_v 4._o that_o in_o stead_n of_o scripture_n he_o bring_v forth_o the_o universal_a practice_n of_o man_n in_o the_o church_n which_o yet_o have_v be_v former_o also_o refute_v 5._o that_o he_o can_v find_v no_o divine_a that_o call_v oppose_v of_o ceremony_n superstition_n but_o only_o m._n calvin_n in_o one_o place_n speak_v rhetorical_o as_o he_o use_v to_o do_v and_o not_o intend_v any_o definition_n or_o distribution_n of_o that_o vice_n 6._o how_o he_o corrupt_v p._n martyr_n word_n to_o have_v some_o colour_n for_o a_o new_a accusation_n p._n martyr_n take_v there_o upon_o he_o the_o person_n of_o a_o adversary_n unto_o hoopers_n opinion_n with_o who_o notwithstanding_o afterward_o he_o consent_v and_o recall_v the_o counsel_n which_o then_o he_o give_v as_o appear_v pag._n 1125._o say_v that_o if_o we_o shall_v refuse_v all_o thing_n that_o the_o papist_n use_v we_o shall_v bring_v the_o church_n into_o servitude_n which_o assertion_n be_v most_o true_a because_o the_o papist_n abuse_v many_o necessary_a thing_n even_o christ_n own_o ordinance_n the_o observe_v of_o which_o be_v liberty_n now_o the_o def._n will_v have_v that_o precise_o understand_v and_o that_o in_o the_o rigour_n of_o every_o word_n concern_v the_o surplice_n i_o have_v here_o subjoin_v apart_o a_o epistle_n of_o zanchius_n who_o otherways_o be_v somewhat_o favourable_a to_o bishop_n wherein_o the_o reader_n may_v see_v his_o judgement_n concern_v superstitious_a garment_n to_o the_o most_o
