1. Augustine, in the Abridgement, was among other Divines cited, as allowing of one proof belonging to this Argument, taken from significancy. This the Def. catched hold of before the time or place of it, as matter of a section by it self, distinct from the testimonies of other Divines. Which ⟨p. 223⟩dealing we must not speak of: because the Rejoinder saith, it was orderly done. But if their Printer-hath failed in right noting the numbers, he will needs have that a very slippery trick. If also the Def. brought in this testimony out of place, that was (in the Rejoinder his language) because he would not tether us up too straight. All this we may let pass, as formality of words, suitable to his Ceremonies, which he seeketh to maintain.

2. But (saith the Rejoinder) if in stead of lib. 3. c. 35. be put in lib. 2. cap. 1. as the Repl. would have it, yet nothing is found to the purpose. Now (though it skilleth not much: because this place was but conjecturally pointed at, in stead of another miscited yet) in that place, this is to be found, so much to the purpose, that I know not how the Rej. will avoid the weight of it: that S. Aug. distinguishing betwixt natural, and instituted signs, saith presently after, that there is no use or cause of instituted signes, nisi ad expromendum, & trajiciendum in alierius animum, id quod in animo gerit is qui dat, i.e. but to declare and make intelligible, what the institutor meaneth. From whence, we gather, that our Prelates instituting significant Ceremonies, can signify no more then what they would have, and not what God would have.
