They did not so far forget themselves, as to send allegations in other mens names, into England, to be admitted there, which themselves did not allow of. Beside, they directly call them unprofitable vain trifles. Yea (saith the Rejoinder) but they ⟨p. 455⟩disclaim the very question; they supposed the refusers of the Ceremonies, not to damn the consciences of the users: and call them vain trifles in comparison of preaching the Gospel. They disclaim indeed professed entering into the ground of that question, as mediators use to do, but yet insinuate their judgement of it. Ceremonies may be damned, though the consciences of all that use them, be not condemned. Unprofitable vain trifles, found not of comparison. Neither is there any thing in the letter, that gives •ny inkling of such a limitation.

To the second testimony, taken out of the Scottish Confession, the Rejoinder answereth 1. that it respecteth all Ceremonies, as they were Antichrists, formally, and not all materially. After which manner, it is easy to answer any testimony that ever was alleged. For in the Confession, there is no difference made betwixt all, and some; neither can the Rejoinder give any apparent reason of his formal interpretation; and it is well known, that the ery material Popish Ceremonies were then detested by Mr. Knox, with those that agreed unto his direction, as hey also have been, ever since the Reformation, abhorred generally in Scotland, until of late, when that which one of them calleth an Altar of Damascus, came into that Country.
