But (saith he) our Ceremonies considered as Ceremonies, (otherwise then in their materials) have no outward show of Popish superstition, which consisteth only in the reason and intention of their use. As if either outward show, or outward superstition, consisted only in inward intention! ⟨p. 461⟩Such miserable answers have at the least, an outward show of no sincere intention. His 3. answer is, that Musculus speaketh of such traditions as in their praesent, and public professed use were Popish. He doeth not indeed exclude such out of his censure: but if he spake only of such, what need was there, that he should so carefully interpret what he called Popish traditions? or what meant he in his description of them, to leave out praesent public professed use, and use such words, as every ordinary impartial Reader must needs take to be more general?

It is an excellent Rule (saith the Rejoinder) but he said not, that human Ceremonies abused unto superstition, in Popery, are now unlawful for us to use. As if he that saith, we ought to keep that order which differeth most from Popish toys and Ceremonies, did not say, we ought nt to use Popish Ceremonies! He speaketh (without question) of an internal ought, or sic oportet, which the Rejoinder (pag. 492.) confesseth to bind the conscience.
