SECT. 32. Concerning the Lords-Day, Temples, and ceremonial Festivals.
SECT. 32. Concerning the Lords-Day, Temples, and ceremoniall Festivals.
1. The Def. having spoken of his much sailing in the main, and narrow Seas, cometh to object the observation of the Lords Day, as a fit example of a humane Ceremony: whereupon, the Replier continuing his similitude, saith, that he was at this time, either sea-sick, or sleepy, with his much sailing. This the Rej. calleth a scurrilous jest, and scoff: so liberal is he of terms, when reasonable answers are not at hand. But if he had thought of the ordinary sayings, Quandoque bonus dormitat Homerus; animi perturbatio est quaedam ejus aegritudo; he would have spared an innocent usual phrase of speech, and not marked it with so foul pitch or tar as Scurrility.

2. Now let us hear, how he can excuse the Def. his allegation, from all sickness, and drowsiness! The observation (saith he) of the Lords Day, in place of the Jews Sabbath, is not a humane institution: but the analogical and allegorical instructions, lawfully raised from that Day, are of humane institution, not divine. I say again, as the Repl. said, (without fear of the Rej. his Spit of scurrility) this is a sick or drowsy answer. For 1. it maketh all analogical instructions, instituted Ceremonies: as if nothing could be gathered from any fact, or text, in the Scripture,
