If these orders / off the hour for the morning / and afternoon sacrifice / off preaching the word off God in a place where it may be best hard / off fasting for the better humbling off the people before the lord in prayer / be not orders / and Ceremonies pertaining to the worship off God: then the daily sacrifices / preaching the word off God / and calling upon his name / (whereunto these belonged) are no parts off the worship off God: then the which there is nothing more absurd. And verily this is not / by juggling / or sleight off hand / to deceive the ⟨p. XCV⟩eyes off the reader: but by flat facing / to endeavour to make him turn them from the truth. That which I said / off the Jews Ecclesiastical government / by the moral and Ceremonial law only / and not by the judicial: (as that which may be cast down with reasons out off the word of God / which is here only done by authority of men) I am well content it fall. So that I have no fault to find with the Ans. in this behalf / but that the weapon he struck this with all / was not sharp enough.
