Ans. 1. Here is a manifest contradiction, for the B. saith that every man did by this Oath oblige himself, only to obey and defend that Discipline which is unchangeable & commanded in the Word. And yet again he seemeth to import, (that which tD Forbesse plainly avoucheth,) that every man obliged himself by the same Oath, to obey and defend, all that the Church should afterwards ordain, though thereby the former constitutions be altered. The B. therefore doth apparently contradict himself, or at the best, he contradicteth his fellow-pleader for the Ceremonies.
