* 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.
