O yes (answereth the Rejoinder) because ⟨p. 335⟩the Apostles ordained some things, not as Apostles, not by immediate revelation, but by the direction and authority of Gods Word. In which kind of rejoining, I see no more learning then needs must. 1. The question was of Apostolical institutions: the answer is of that which the Apostles did, but not as Apostles, that is not properly Apostolical. 2.

No example is, or can be brought, of a new significant Ceremony instituted by the Apostles, without immediate revelation. The allegations opposed, may fill up paper, but not satisfy any reasonable Reader.
