practice_n the_o replier_n think_v it_o sufficient_a to_o dispatch_v all_o brief_o in_o a_o few_o question_n to_o which_o the_o rejoynder_n answer_v but_o so_o as_o he_o bring_v little_a or_o nothing_o that_o require_v a_o new_a confutation_n the_o first_o question_n be_v about_o temple_n bell_n table-cloth_n object_v by_o the_o defendant_n whether_o they_o have_v such_o idolatry_n put_v upon_o they_o by_o papist_n as_o the_o cross_n have_v the_o rejoynder_n answer_v 1._o that_o if_o they_o have_v as_o much_o as_o the_o surplice_n that_o will_v serve_v the_o turn_n it_o will_v indeed_o in_o part_n though_o nor_o in_o whole_a but_o that_o can_v be_v prove_v his_o second_o answer_n be_v that_o such_o a_o cross_n as_o we_o be_v be_v never_o abuse_v at_o all_o in_o popery_n which_o be_v a_o metaphysical_a conceit_n sufficient_o before_o confute_v his_o three_o be_v that_o temple_n and_o bell_n be_v as_o well_o abuse_v but_o the_o question_n be_v of_o such_o idolatry_n his_o four_o be_v that_o the_o white_a linen_n altar_n cloth_n be_v as_o much_o abuse_v as_o the_o surplice_n but_o the_o quaestion_n be_v of_o the_o crosse._n and_o 2._o the_o papist_n altar-cloath_n differ_v much_o from_o the_o tablecloth_n which_o we_o allow_v of_o 2._o the_o second_o be_v if_o the_o defender_n his_o own_o heart_n do_v not_o tell_v he_o that_o there_o be_v a_o civil_a use_n of_o the_o thing_n forenamed_a which_o can_v be_v imagine_v of_o the_o cross_n the_o rejoynder_n grant_v a_o civil_a use_n of_o bell_n though_o not_o of_o church_n or_o communion_n tablecloth_n add_v that_o there_o may_v be_v a_o civil_a use_n of_o some_o cross_n though_o not_o of_o transient_a gross_v such_o as_o we_o and_o also_o of_o wafer_n but_o he_o attend_v neither_o to_o those_o word_n of_o the_o reply_o if_o his_o own_o heart_n do_v not_o tell_v he_o nor_o to_o those_o such_o thing_n for_o his_o bringing-in_a first_o of_o term_n which_o involve_v the_o use_n together_o with_o the_o thing_n and_o that_o use_v also_o immediate_a which_o be_v but_o mediate_v in_o church_n and_o communion_n table_n clothes_n with_o his_o contrary_a change_n of_o such_o cross_n as_o we_o into_o some_o cross_n and_o wafer-god_n into_o wafâ—r-seales_n for_o letter_n declare_v both_o concern_v the_o difference_n enough_o have_v be_v say_v in_o the_o first_o part_n of_o this_o fresh-suit_n in_o the_o head_n of_o ceremony_n 3._o the_o three_o be_v what_o superstition_n be_v in_o the_o mere_a signification_n give_v by_o durandus_fw-la unto_o bell_n and_o bell-rope_n which_o be_v not_o to_o be_v find_v in_o our_o cross_n and_o surplice_n the_o rejoynder_n here_o answer_v nothing_o but_o only_o note_v many_o more_o superstitious_a signification_n to_o have_v be_v then_o conceit_v of_o diverse_a thing_n and_o also_o of_o bell_n than_o we_o have_v in_o our_o ceremony_n but_o the_o quaestion_n be_v only_o of_o the_o weight_n not_o the_o number_n of_o superstitious_a signification_n 4._o the_o 4._o be_v whether_o the_o pagan_n use_v of_o bay-leaves_a object_v by_o the_o defender_n about_o 1000_o year_n past_a do_v cast_v such_o a_o reflection_n upon_o our_o civil_a use_n of_o bay-leaves_a as_o popish_a superstition_n do_v upon_o our_o ceremony_n the_o rejoynder_n his_o answer_n consist_v only_o in_o word_n save_v that_o he_o aequal_v the_o country_n of_o papist_n to_o those_o of_o ancient_a unknowen_a heathen_n the_o time_n before_o or_o after_o baptism_n unto_o a_o 1000_o year_n distance_n the_o place_n crown_n of_o the_o head_n and_o forehead_n unto_o farre-removed_n and_o unknowen_a land_n here_o again_o he_o neglect_v that_o item_n of_o the_o replier_n if_o his_o own_o heart_n do_v not_o tell_v he_o 5._o the_o five_o be_v what_o sense_n the_o defender_n have_v to_o find_v fault_n with_o we_o for_o not_o alter_v the_o situation_n of_o church_n nay_o say_v the_o rejoynder_n what_o face_n have_v you_o to_o say_v that_o he_o do_v find_v fault_n with_o you_o for_o not_o do_v it_o sure_o the_o plain_a country_n face_n of_o take_v the_o defend_n his_o word_n as_o they_o stand_v in_o your_o rejoynder_n pag._n 645._o nor_o do_v you_o

the_o defender_n in_o compare_v the_o name_n of_o wednesday_n thursday_n friday_n unto_o ceremony_n take_v from_o popery_n 7._o the_o 7._o be_v whether_o it_o be_v one_o thing_n to_o change_v cope_n into_o cushion_n and_o to_o use_v a_o masse-vestiment_a in_o god_n worship_n the_o rejoynder_n say_v nothing_o worth_a the_o repeat_n 8._o the_o last_o quaestion_n be_v if_o it_o be_v not_o a_o kind_n of_o slander_n to_o say_v that_o the_o church_n of_o geneva_n impose_v a_o round_a wafer-cake_n like_o the_o papist_n to_o be_v use_v in_o the_o lord_n supper_n and_o if_o it_o be_v not_o a_o wide_a leap_n to_o bring_v in_o the_o practice_n of_o geneva_n for_o a_o instance_n of_o the_o nonconformist_n practice_n in_o england_n the_o rejoynder_n answer_v 1._o yes_o it_o be_v a_o slander_n to_o impute_v unto_o geneva_n a_o round_a wafer-cake_n like_o the_o papist_n but_o add_v that_o the_o defender_n do_v not_o so_o if_o he_o do_v not_o what_o mean_v those_o word_n of_o he_o allbeit_v the_o church_n of_o geneva_n be_v not_o ignorant_a what_o the_o round_a wafer_n among_o the_o papist_n do_v signify_v or_o what_o consequence_n make_v the_o defender_n from_o genevas_n wafer-cake_n to_o ceremony_n abuse_v unto_o idolatry_n if_o the_o geneva_n wafer-cake_n be_v not_o like_a unto_o the_o papist_n in_o the_o second_o place_n the_o rejoynder_n confess_v that_o the_o bread_n use_v at_o geneva_n be_v a_o large_a square_a cake_n which_o be_v break_v in_o sundry_a parcel_n unto_o the_o communicant_o and_o yet_o he_o add_v that_o it_o be_v a_o wafer-cake_n as_o thin_a as_o thin_a may_v
the_o former_a testimony_n the_o rejoynder_n answer_v 1._o that_o these_o word_n be_v not_o the_o definitive_a judgement_n of_o the_o assembly_n but_o only_o speak_v as_o the_o plea_n of_o some_o tender-hearted_a man_n which_o suffer_v for_o refusal_n of_o those_o thing_n now_o if_o this_o be_v so_o as_o the_o rej._n make_v it_o yet_o this_o we_o may_v gather_v from_o thence_o that_o the_o plea_n of_o many_o godly_a minister_n of_o england_n in_o those_o day_n be_v that_o our_o ceremony_n be_v unlawful_a for_o so_o it_o be_v there_o say_v many_o thousand_o both_o godly_a and_o learned_a have_v their_o conscience_n continual_o strike_v with_o these_o sentense_n what_o have_v christ_n to_o do_v with_o belial_n what_o fellowship_n be_v there_o betwixt_o darkness_n and_o light_n etc._n etc._n in_o the_o word_n former_o cite_v what_o mean_v the_o rejoynder_n then_o to_o persuade_v his_o reader_n in_o his_o preface_n and_o upon_o all_o occasion_n that_o our_o ceremony_n be_v not_o by_o nonconformist_n hold_v unlawful_a but_o only_o inconvenient_a until_o of_o late_a if_o nothing_o else_o can_v yet_o this_o his_o own_o not_o confession_n but_o peremptory_a answer_n may_v so_o convince_v he_o that_o he_o must_v acknowledge_v his_o accuse_v of_o we_o as_o dissent_v therein_o from_o the_o first_o seeker_n of_o reformation_n in_o the_o ceremony_n and_o so_o the_o occasion_n of_o his_o bitter_a writing_n be_v a_o mere_a conceit_n build_v up_o by_o desire_n of_o put_v some_o colour_n upon_o that_o which_o naked_o behold_v will_v be_v offensive_a observe_v further_o that_o a_o definitive_a judgement_n be_v vain_o here_o deny_v where_o it_o be_v never_o seek_v for_o the_o minister_n of_o england_n do_v not_o send_v into_o scotland_n for_o a_o definitive_a sentence_n concern_v the_o use_n or_o abuse_v of_o thing_n in_o england_n neither_o be_v they_o of_o scotland_n so_o simple_a as_o to_o take_v that_o authority_n of_o define_v upon_o they_o but_o for_o their_o advize_a judgement_n be_v plain_a enough_o to_o all_o that_o read_v their_o word_n with_o any_o indifferency_n they_o be_v not_o ignorant_a of_o our_o english_a question_n there_o be_v among_o they_o that_o have_v be_v at_o frankford_n as_o m_n r._n knox_n m_o r._n goodman_n etc._n etc._n they_o do_v not_o so_o far_o forget_v themselves_o as_o to_o send_v allegation_n in_o other_o man_n name_n

of_o preach_v the_o gospel_n they_o disclaim_v indeed_o profess_v enter_v into_o the_o ground_n of_o that_o question_n as_o mediator_n use_v to_o do_v but_o yet_o insinuate_v their_o judgement_n of_o

1._o that_o it_o respect_v all_o ceremony_n as_o they_o be_v antichrist_n formal_o and_o not_o all_o materia_o after_o which_o manner_n it_o be_v easy_a to_o answer_v any_o testimony_n that_o ever_o be_v allege_v for_o in_o the_o confession_n there_o be_v no_o difference_n make_v betwixt_o all_o and_o some_o neither_o can_v the_o rejoynder_n give_v any_o apparent_a reason_n of_o his_o formal_a

into_o that_o country_n the_o rejoynder_n his_o 2._o answer_n be_v that_o they_o of_o the_o assembly_n profess_v what_o like_v they_o best_o in_o scotland_n not_o what_o they_o think_v other_o bind_v to_o do_v as_o appeareth_z by_o our_o late_a king_n james_n the_o chief_a of_o they_o but_o before_o this_o can_v stand_v it_o must_v be_v show_v in_o what_o synod_n we_o detest_v be_v take_v for_o

of_o old_a the_o rejoynder_n answer_v 1._o that_o this_o be_v not_o oecolampadius_n his_o own_o advice_n but_o that_o which_o some_o other_o will_v have_v have_v he_o give_v but_o he_o propound_v it_o
