There is a third sort out off Tertull. de corona militis •d prax. & Basil. de sancto Spiritu, Whereof beside that divers off them were never convenient / some off them unlawful / they are all such as the authors do not permit to the order of the church / but under a false clock off tradition / put the churches neck under a servile yoke off them. And whereas he would fain save thes places out off the fire / by saying / that although some grew in time to superstition, and that one of his authors gave to mich unto unwritten traditions: he doth but burn his fingers / the places he can not save. For it behoveth him to show / that certain things / not determined in the word off God / are in the churches power: and thes places (if they prove any thing) prove that the church / is bound off necessity to certain things / whereof there is no commandment in the word off God: for the which cause they are alleged off the papists / from whom it is not unlike but they were borrowed.1
Ther is a thirde sorte owte off Tertull. de corona militis •d prax. & Basil. de sancto Spiritu, Wheroff beside that diuers off them were neuer conuenient / some off them vnlawfull / they are all suche as the authors doo not permit to the order of the churche / but vnder a false clocke off tradition / put the churches necke vnder a seruile yoke off them. And wheras he would faine saue thes places owte off the fire / by saying / that althoughe some grew in time to superstitiō, and that one of his autors gaue to myche vnto vnwrittē traditiōs: he doothe but burne his fingers / the places he can not saue. For yt behoueth him to shewe / that certen thinges / not determined in the word off God / are in the churches power: and thes places (yff they proue any thinge) proue that the churche / is bounde off necessitie to certaine thinges / wheroff there is no commaundement in the worde off God: for the which cause they are alledged off the papistes / from whom it is not vnlike but they were borowed.1
