10. Concerning the Councils of Nice forbidding Easter to be kept on the same day with the Jews Passover, the Rejoinder maketh long work, to little purpose. 1. He saith (with the Defendant) that it was not for unlawfulness. 2. He confirmeth that answer, by a story of the business, marking, that the Council said about Easter, only, It seemed good to us. 3. He excepteth against the words, as they are cited in the Abridgement. And so spendeth many good words, and phrases, not requiring any confutation. Now. 1. Concerning the words, as they are found in Constantine's letters patents, they were cleared before, cap. 3. sect. 6.2. The same, or like form of words, is used in the same Council about things unlawful, though not so desperately evil, as denying the Faith. 3. The succeeding practises, and censures, do show, that unlawfulness was understood. For presently after, those which kept Easter with the ⟨p. 449⟩Jews, were accounted a sort of Heretics, styled Quartadecimani. And what ruffling, Augustine sent into England by Gregory, made against the ancient Britons, for dissenting in that observance, after, and out of other stories, Mr. Fox doeth at large relate. But for such matters, I leave them (with the Replier) to those that are skilful in human traditions; not regarding that judgement of the Rejoinders. If you be not skilful in human traditions, you may hazard your selves and others: because I doubt not, but skill in Gods word alone, is sufficient against all such hazard.
