10. For D. Raynolds, the Rejoinder answereth 1. that he giveth no hint touching the interpretation of this place. 2. that he only inveigheth against the multitude and burden of Symbolical rites, showing their use in Popery to be Jewish. 3. that D.R. judged our significant Ceremonies lawful to be used in case of silencing and deprivation. Now for the first, I answer, that as there are hints of interpretation for many places of the old Testament, in the new, which yet are not cited there, so may it be that D. R. gave a hint, without quoting. About the third point, I 1. observe, that by the Rejoinder his own relation, D. Rain, was not of his and D. Mortons judgment. For ⟨p. 218⟩he judged our Ceremonies only tolerable in case of extremity: but they allow the very institution of them, as good and profitable for order, decency, and edification. 2. D.R. never manifested to the world in public any reasons for that judgement, but rather for the contrary, as by and by we shall hear. 3. There is a kind of suspensive judgement (such as Cyril, Peter Lombard, as Estius in 2. d. 21. allegeth and interpreteth them, say Eve had, about the Serpents speaking) to which the iniquity of times do draw many godly and learned men, not only about Ceremonies violently urged by & with grievous penalties, but also about greater matters, as experience in all ages hath showed. But that is nothing to others as being destitute or forsaken of certain grounds or supports.
10. For D. Raynolds, the Rejoynder answereth 1. that he giveth no hint touching the interpretation of this place. 2. that he onely inveigheth against the multitude and burthen of Symbolicall rites, shewing their use in Poperie to be Iewish. 3. that D.R. judged our •ignificant Ceremonies lawfull to be used in case of silencing and deprivation. Now for the first, I answer, that as ther are hints of interpretation for many places of the olde Testament, in the new, which yet are not cited there, so may it be that D. R. gave a hint, without quoting. About the third point, I 1. observe, that by the Rejoynder his owne relation, D. Rain, was not of his and D. Mortons judgemen. For ⟨p. 218⟩he judged our Ceremonies onely tollerable in case of extremitie: but they allow the very institution of them, as good and profitable for order, decencie, and aedification. 2. D.R. never manifested to the world in publick any reasons for that judgement, but rather for the contrarie, as by and by we shall hear. 3. Ther is a kinde of suspensive judgement (suche as Cyrill, Peter Lombard, as Estius in 2. d. 21. alledgeth and interpreteth them, say Eve had, about the Serpents speaking) to which the iniquitie of times doe draw many godly and learned men, not onely about Ceremonies violently urged by & with greivous poenalties, but also about greater matters, as experience in all ages hath shewed. But that is nothing to others as being destitute or forsaken of certaine groundes or supportes.
