2. He cuts off by the wast, D. Whitakers his sentence, saith the Rej. Let us therefore take-in the next words, according to the Rej. his own translation: Therefore if the Ceremonies of Moses were removed because they were typical, why should not the Popish Ceremonies be removed which are not less typical? Is not this above the wast, against significant Ceremonies? Certainly It was not the meaning of D. Whitaker to charge the Papists with typical praesignifications of Christ yet to come: and therefore he must needs understand, by typical, significant Ceremonies.

3. The wholl• intention saith he) w•s, to condemn the Popish Ceremony, as necessary, or Sacramental, But this could not be so: because Bellarmine in that place, first answereth about their figurative nature, and then after addeth:1 to that which is objected of the number and weight of popish laws. 4. D. Wh. (addeth he) did allow of humane significant Rites: as certain Feasts. Now if D. Wh. yielding something to the stream of time, and custom, did account some such humane institutions tolerable, that is nothing to the purpose. For we urge here his general rule only: of Feasts we shall after answer. In the mean time, concerning D. Wh. his general sentence of humane significant Ceremonies, let these his words be considered: Bellarmin saith, the Ceremonies are instituted of the Church to help the ruder sort. I answer the rude are not to be instructed with Ceremonies, God hath given Scripture that out of them the rude may draw instruction.
