The other passages depend upon the difference now touched, until that answer of the Replier cometh in: Neither Ambrose, nor Augustine, nor Monica, his mother, regarded any thing in condemning that act, but only, lest any occasion should be given to intemperate ones of filling themselves beyond measure; and because these funeral rites as it were resembled the Superstition of the Gentiles. ¹The Rejoinder here 1. denieth that Ambrose, Augustine, or Monica did condemn this act. Which is very strange; seeing Ambrose did publicly forbid it, by the Rejoinder his confession; Monica hearing the reasons, was affected with them in her conscience, to forbear it; and Augustin applaudeth them both. Yet the Rejoinder hath reasons for his denial, such as they be: 1. Augustine saith his Mothers intention was good. 2. It was usual in Africa. 3. He thought that his Mother would not have been so taken-off from that custom by any beside Ambrose. 4. Ambrose did only restrain Monica's private devotion, as having publicly forbidden that manner, for a double inconvenience, not for unlawfulness.
