6. Polanus (misprinted, or uncertainly printed in the Abridgement) is said to allow some significant Ceremonies, as feasts, Fasts, Gestures: and his definition of Superstition, is thought to make only against Ceremonies Sacramental, not Morally significant. The only way therefore is, to set down his words, out of which his judgement about this point may appear of superstition, he saith thus (Syntag. l. 9. c. 3.) Superstition stands in choosing worship to God, or exceeds measure therein. True religion worships the true God in a manner prescribed by the word: false, (that is to say Superstition) worships God otherwise then he wills or enjoins. In another place whatsoever pertains to Gods worship must by him be required. Again it is a foolish ill zeal of the popish clergy to use such playerake apparel in Divine service and by apparel to be distinguished from laics, that difference and variety was in the old Testament typical, but the substance being come, what mean they to require types any more?¹

1. 1Superstitio est in eligendo cultu Dei, vel modum excedit in colendo. Vera religio colit Deum verum, modo verbo Dei prascripto: falsa (i.e. superstitio) v•rum Deum aliter colit, quam ipse vult & mandat. lib. 8. c. 1. Quicquid ad cultum Dei pertinet, a Deo mandatum esse aportet. lib, 9. c. 38. Inopta est [Greek or Hebrew] Cloeicorum Papistorum, qui vestitu theatri in sacris ututur, et vestitu laicis distingui volunt, Illa defiintio & varieras, erat in V. T. ypica: veritate autem ixhibita, quid amptiu typos reguirunt?
