The defenders of Holy-days, answer to these places which we allege Sect. II against them, that the Apostle condemneth the observation of Judaical days, not of Ecclesiastical days, which the Church instituteth for order and policy: which evasion ^pB. Lindsey followeth so hard, that he sticketh not to hold, that all the days whereof the Apostle condemneth the observation, were Judaical days prescribed in the Ceremonial Law, &c. And this he is not contented to maintain himself, but he will needs father it upon his Antagonist, by such logic forsooth, as can inferre quidlibet ex quolibet. The Apostle comports with the observation of days in the weak Jews, who understood not the fullness of the Christian Liberty, especially, since those days having had the honour to be once appointed by God himself, were to be honourably buried: but the same Apostle reproves the Galatians, who had attained to this liberty, and had once left off the observation of days. What ground of consequence can warrant such an illation from these premisses, as this which the Bishop formeth, namely, that all the days whereof the Apostle condemned the observation, were judaical days? &c.

The Apostle comports with the observation of dayes in the weake Iewes, who understood not the fullnesse of the Christian Liberty, especially, since those dayes having had the honour to be once appointed by God himselfe, were to be honorably buried: but the same Apostle reproves the Galathians, who had attained to this liberty, and had once left off the observation of dayes.
