The Rejoinder his 2. answer is, that they of the Assembly professed, what liked them best in Scotland; not what they thought others bound to do; as appeareth by our late King James, the chief of them. But before this can stand, it must be showed, in what Synod, we detest, is taken, for we like •ot so well in our Country; and then, how the after-interpretation ⟨p. 456⟩of one, who was then but fifteen years old, can over-sway the common interpretation of the whole Church?

2. Oecolampadius requireth a Minister of Scaphusium (Epist. 1. lib. 1. pag. 129.) utterly to cast off all the Ceremonies of the Papists, in celebration of the Lords Supper, as those which cannot be continued, without nourishing of the superstition and impiety, whereunto they served of old. The Rejoinder answereth 1. That this was not Oecolampadius his own advise, but that which some others would have had him given. But he propounding it, and only excusing himself modestly that he was slow in put on others so far (insinuating that though he himself was so resolved, yet he durst not urge others thereto, and therefore only requireth conveniency without offence, sufficiently testifieth his allowance of that advise. And who (think you) were the Authors of that advise, but zuinglius &c ▪ He 2. addeth, out of divers Epistles, that Oecolampadius would not have all that country tie themselves in Ceremonies, to Basil, Tigure, or Bern that he hold gold silver, glass, or wooden vessels in administration of the Sacrament, indifferent. As if any of us were of another mind this is a mere colour of something, where nothing is to be found.
