7. Against mystical-moral Ceremonies, of humane institution, the Repl. brought this Arg. in Mr. Baines his words: To be a teacher of my understanding, and an exciter of my devotion, are such effects, as require virtue, inherent, or assistant, to those things which should be causes of them. But no sign of mans devising, hath any such virtue, in it, or with it. For then it must come either from the word of creation, or from Gods after institution.

7. Against mysticall-morall Ceremonies, of humane institution, the Repl. brought this Arg. in Mr. Baines his wordes: To be a teacher of my understand••g, and an exciter of my devotion, are suche effects, as require vertue, inhaerent, or assistant, to those thinges which should be causes of them. But no signe of mans divizing, hath any suche vertue, in it, or with it. For then it must come eyther from the word of creation, or from Gods after institution.

But from neither of these, have the signs of mans devising any such virtue. Therefore no sign, of mans devising, can be a teacher of mine understanding, or an exciter of my devotion.

But from neyther of these, have the signes of mans divizing any suche vertue. Therfore no signe, of mans divizing, can be a teacher of mine understanding, or an exciter of my devotion.
