3. To put it out of doubt, that Suarez, under the name ⟨p. 314⟩of Heretics, in this place, meant Protestants, let any man look upon his book de Religione, Volume 1. treatise 3. lib. 2. cap. 1. and there he shall find these words, to the same purpose: The Heretics of these times say every ceremony, and all worship not prescribed of God, or not contained in the Gospel is Superstition, yea and Idolatry. They stand much upon Deut. 12. 1Now 1. this cannot be understood of the Anabaptists: because they make no such account of Deuteronomy, or the old Testament, as that they found any doctrine chiefly on that. 2. Suarez himself, in the same Chapter, showeth plainly that he there meant Protestants. For he sendeth the Reader, for confutation of these Heretics, to Gregorius de Valentia, tom. 3. disp. 6. q. 11. p. 1. where he disputeth against Herbrandus, a Protestant, not an Anabaptist: & to Lessius de just. & jure, l. 2. cap. 43. dub. 4. where he disputeth about this question, against Calvin. And (lest any man should think, he meant one kind of Heretics there, and another in this place questioned, he there referreth his reader, for further satisfaction about that question, unto this very place, in 3. tom. 3. disp. 15. What can be more clear? When as therefore the Rejoinder upon such sandy grounds, concludeth, that we are somewhat encamped in the Trenches of Anabaptists; because we do not jump with Suarez, in condemning these three Errors; we may better conclude, that he and the Def. by rash undermining of us have, unawares, broken into the works of Papists; because they do condemn with Suarez, those three Protestant truths. And withal (seeing so great a School-Papist as Suarez, in stating of ⟨p. 315⟩the controversy, maketh no mention of merit, necessity, efficacy, number, or holiness, either inherent or adherent) it is but an evasion of the Defend. and Rejoinder upon every occasion, to fly unto these, as only differences betwixt us and Papists, about Ceremonies. And so we have more cleared, then that, for which Suarez his testimony was produced by the Replier: namely, that learned Papists have no opinion of all their significant Ceremonies, which the Defender and Rejoinder do not maintain.
