M. Bucer upon the. 18. of Math. saith that they say nothing / which do always object / that greater things must be urged / then the reformation of ceremonies / thereby defending the relics of Antichrist / forasmuch as ceremonies are testimonies of religion: And that / as there is no agreement between Christ and Belial / so those which are sincere Christians / can abide nothing of Antichrist.

Peter Martyr upon the .10. c. of the .2. book of the kings / sayeth that the Lutherans must take heed / least whilst they cut of many popish errors / they follow Jehu by retaining also many popish things. For they defend still the real presence in the bread of the supper / and images / and vestments. &c. and saith that religion must be wholly reformed to the quick.

Bullinger in his Decades. 5. book / and. 9. sermon / saith that our saviour Christ & the Apostles used their accustomed apparel in the supper / and that although in times past the ministers put on a kind of cloak upon their common apparel / yet that was done neither by the example of Christ / nor of his Apostles / but by the tradition of man / and that in the end / after the example of the priests apparel in the old law / it was cast upon the ministers / at the ministration of the supper. But (sayeth he) we have learned long ago / not only that all Levitical ceremonies are abrogated / but also that they ought to be brought again into the church of no man. And therefore seeing we are in the light of the gospel / and not under the shadow of the law / we do worthily reject / that massing Levitical apparel.
