Something like was the case of Chemnitius, whose words the Rejoinder thought good to pass over in silence. They are these (de ritib. Sacr. ad Can. 13.) When Christ himself so instituted the Sacraments that he required them to be used with such and such rites, ¹it is a very hard question whether it be lawful for men to add other and that so many over and above. As if what rites Christ himself prescribed were either not enough, or not fit enough. In divine institutions as we must take nothing from, so we must add nothing to them. But whereas they say by such rites many things are profitably signified, we answer that belonged to the State of the Old Testament, but what Christ in the New Test. would have learned, must be taught with the light of the word, not by shadows. And we have a promise of the force of the word; but not of the efficacy of shadows devised by men. And what rites he would have used by the word, those he himself appointed, etc.

1. 1Cum ipse filiu Dei Sacramenta ita instituerit. ut ea certis institutis ritibus praeceperit administraeri, valde ardua est questio, an hominibus permissum sit, alio• praeterca, et quidem mult•s ac varios ritus quocunque confilio supperadder: quasi Ceremoniae illae qua in administratione Sacramentorum Divinitus institutae sunt, non satis sunt vel idonea, vel sufficientes Institutioni Divinae sicut nihil detrahendum, ita etiam nihil addendum est, Quod vero bratendunt, per illos ritus ab hominibus additos multa pié & utiliter significari, moner, & doceri, ad illud responderi potest, figuras propriat esse Veteri Testamenti, quae vero in Novo Testamento Christus moeri ac doceri voluit non umbtis, sed luce Verbi, tradi ac proponi voluit Et de Verbi, non antem de figuratum ab hominibus inventarum, efficacia, habemus prom […] nem: quos ve ritus vebo adhiberi voluit, eos ipse instituit. etc.
