The Rejoinder noteth 2. that in Bezas judgement, many things may and must be tolerated, which are not rightly imposed. Which is true: but 1. let it be then openly confessed by the Rejoinder, that our Ceremonies are not rightly imposed, before he abuse this rule. 2. Let him tell us, if approving by subscription, and use, be a mere toleration? 3. The same Beza telleth us: Tolerant quaedaem putaemus quae omninò ferri non debent. con. Westph. We think somethings may be tolerated, which altogether may not be born.

In the 3. place, it is added by the Rejoinder that Beza saith of some, that retain the Cross, they may use their own liberty. But in the next words he addeth: If they have any just Causes of retaining this sign in their Churches. So that he limiteth that liberty unto such causes as he was not privy to;1 nay to such as they at Geneva, found to be clean contrary: As for us, we have many necessary ⟨p. 465⟩reasons why we do no way tolerat that sign. & their causes, alleged in the 8. Epistle, were not peculiar to any time or place, but pertain as well to England, as to Geneva. So that this was but to stop a Papists mouth, with using of gentle words, and suppositions concerning our unwarrantable course. Of the surplice he speaketh sometime more indifferently: but in the same places, he will have it not subscribed to, not defended, or rejoined for, but by all means hastened out of the Church, as a ridiculous stage-play garment, or a Fool's coat.
