CHAP. IX.
A recapitulation of sundry other reasons against the Indifferency of the Ceremonies.
That the Ceremonies are not indifferent to us, or such Sect. I things as we may freely practise, we prove yet by other reasons.
THat the Ceremonies are not indifferent to us, or such Sect. I things as we may freely practise, we prove yet by other reasons.
For, 1. They who plead for the indifferency of the Ceremonies must tell us whether they call them indifferent in actu signato, or in actu exercito, or in both these respects. Now gwe have proven, that there is no action deliberated upon, and wherein we proceed with the advise of reason, which can be indifferent in actu exercito: and that because it can not choose, but either have all the circumstances which it should have, (and so be good,) or else want some of them, one or moe, (and so be evil.) And as for the indifferency of the Ceremonies in actu signato, though we should acknowledge it, (which we do not,) yet it could be no warrant for the practise of them: or else the believing Gentiles might have freely eaten all meats, notwithstanding of the scandal of the Jews: for the eating of all meats freely was still a thing indifferent in actu signato.
