What our Opposites have alleged for the Ceremonies, either from the Law of God, or the Law of man, we have Sect. I hitherto answered. But we heard uthe Law of Nature also alleged for Holy days, and for kneeling at the Communion. And when xHooker goeth about to commend and defend such visible signs, which being used in performance of holy actions, are undoubtedly most effectual to open such matter, as men when they know and remember carefully, must needs be a great deal the better informed to what effect such duties serve: He subjoineth: We must not think, but that there some ground of reason even in Nature, &c. This is a smoke to blind the eyes of the unlearned. Our Opposites have taken no pains nor travel to make us see any deduction of those Ceremonies, from the Law of Nature: We desire proofs, not words. In the mean while, for giving further evidence to the Trueth, we will express our own mind, touching things warranted by the Law of Nature.
