But the reader will perceive, that Calvin there speaketh only of the Churches liberty to abrogate Holy days, and no thing of her power to observe them, for he is showing that howbeit he durst not have given advise to abolish them, if the decision had been referred to him, yet they had no reason for them who were offended at the abolishing of them in Geneva, because that Church had done no more then she had power and liberty to do for edification, 3. Other Testimonies they produce, which can not help them much. That which ^uB. Lindsey allegeth out of ⟨p. 35⟩Zanchius his confession, maketh him but small advantage, for though Zanchius there alloweth of the sanctification of some Festival days, yet writing on the fourth Commandment, he acknowledgeth that it is more agreeable to the first institution, and to the writings of the Apostles, that one day of the week only be sanctified. What meant the ^xB. to say, that this place is falsified & mutilated by his Antagonist? who quotes it not to prove that Zanchius disallowed of Festival days, but to prove that in Zanchius his judgement, the sanctification of the Sabbath only, & no other day in the week, agreeth best with Divine and Apostolical institution: was there any need to allege more of Zanchius his words then concerned the point which he had to prove? ^ythe B. allegeth also a Testimony out of Perkins on Gal. 4. 10. which makes him but very little help: For albeit Perkins thought good, in some sort to excuse the observing of days, in his own mother Church of England, yet I find in that place, 1. He complaineth that the greatest part respects those Holy-days more then they should. 2. He alloweth only the observing of days for orders sake, that men may come to the Church to hear Gods Word: which respect will not be enough to the B. if there be not a solemnizing & celebrating of the memory of some of Gods inestimable benefits, and a dedicating of the day to this end & purpose. 3. He saith, that it is the privilege of God to appoint an extraordinary day of rest: so that he permitteth not power to the Church, for appointing a set, constant, and anniversary day of rest, for such a day becometh an ordinary day of rest. 4.
