It seemeth the Rejoinder hath more skill (about this cause) in multiplying falsities, then in dividing of them from truths. For the Nicene Council was brought in as speaking for one proposition: and the Rejoinder maketh two false assertions of that one simple axiom. Beside the words of that Council, or Constantine, speaking for it, are (in the Abridgement) only brought in as testifying this▪ that the old Ceremonies of the law, being abrogated by God, cannot (without sin) be now continued in the Church for signification. In stead of this, the Rejoinder feigneth two other propositions, and then faith, that they are two falsifications: which if they be, let him (who is the coiner of them) see how he can excuse them. The words of Constantine are: It seemed unworthy to celebrate the ⟨p. 268⟩Passover with imitation of the Jewish custom. Let no (such) thing be commune to Christians, with the Jews. We have received another way from our Saviour, a more lawful and convenient of our holy Religion. This is pat to the purpose, for which it was alleged.
