And mark I pray you whether your affections carry you: before you said / that the Lords day which was used for the day of rest in the Apostles time / may be changed / as the place / and hour of prayer: but the day of the passion & resurrection. &c. you either thrust upon us as the decree of the apostles / or at least put upon us a necessity of keeping of them / least haply in breaking of them / we might break the Apostles decree / for you make it to lie between the councils and the apostles / which of them decreed this. And do you not perceive / how you still reason against your self? for if the church have had so great regard to that which the apostles did in their times / that they kept those things which are not written / and therefore are doubtful whether ever they used them or no / how much more should we hold our selves to these things / which are written / that they did / and of the which we are assured? As touching the observation of these holy days / I will refer the reader unto an other place / where occasion is given again to speak of them. As for that rule y• he giveth when he saith whatsoever is not. &c. and for the last of the three rules / I receive them with his own interpretation / which he hath afterward in. 119. epist. ad Januarium, which is / that it be also profitable.

And marke I pray you whether your affections cary you: before you sayd / that the Lords day which was vsed for the day of rest in the Apostles time / may be chaūged / as the place / and houre of prayer: but the day of the passion & resurrection. &c. you either thrust vpon vs as the decree of the apostles / or at least put vpon vs a necessity of keping of them / least haply in breaking of them / we might breake the Apostles decree / for you make it to lie betweene the councels and the apostles / which of them decreed this. And do you not perceiue / how you stil reason against your self? for if the church haue had so great regard to yt which the apostles did in their times / that they kept those things which are not wryttē / and therfore are doutfull whether euer they vsed them or no / how much more should we hold our selues to these things / whych are wrytten / that they did / and of the whych we are assured? As touching the obseruation of these holy dayes / I will refer the reader vnto an other place / where occasion is geuen againe to speake of them.
