* Also it was decreed in an other council / that they should not deck their ¹houses with bay leaves and green bows / because the Pagans did use so / and that they should not rest from their labours those days that the pagans did / that they should not keep the first day of every month as they did.

* Also it was decreed in an other councell / that they should not decke theyr ¹houses with baye leaues and greene bowes / because the Paganes dyd vse so / and that they should not rest from their laboures those dayes that the paganes dyd / that they should not keepe the first day of euery moneth as they dyd.

12. Tom. Braccar canon. 73.

:673p. 132–133

* An other council decreed / that the christians should not celebrate feasts ¹on the birth days of the Martyrs / because it was the manner of the heathen: whereby it appeareth / that both of singular men and of councils / in making or abolishing of Ceremonies / heed hath been taken / that the Christians should not be like unto the Idolaters / no not in those things which of them selves are most indifferent to be used / or not used. It were not hard to show the same considerations in the several things which are mentioned of in this admonition / as for example in the ceremonies of prayer / which is here to be handled / we read that Tertullian would not have the Christians sit after they had prayed / ²because the idolaters did so / but having showed this in general to be the policy ⟨p. 133⟩of God first / and of his people afterward / to put as much difference as can be commodiously between the people of God and others which are not / I shall not need to show the same in the particulars.
