And this doeth abundantly appear out of his Epist. to Q. Elizabeth, printed before, in English. 3. Zepper alloweth the ancient use of the Surplice. If he did, therein he should not have crossed his rule given, cap. 10. reg. 4. out of the Scriptures, at least in his opinion, except he judged the Surplice before that ancient use to have been notoriously abused unto Idolatry. But the trueth is, Zepper doeth but comparatively excuse a supposed ancient use of that garment, which in ancient times was not known, but as a civil habit, usual in hot countries. 4.

Churches of France did reject; but not what were necessarily to be rejected of all Churches: He useth also the limitation of Jewish and Paganish Ceremonies. But he clean mistaketh Sadeel's meaning: Jewish and Paganish, are no words of limitation, but of explication by way of reason. Our use of his testimony is 1. thus: Whatsoever Ceremonies they of France have rejected, are in Sadeel's judgement Jewish or Heathenish, which can have no lawful use in Gods worship. But the Churches of France have rejected our Ceremonies in controversy. Ergo. 2. Thus: If Jewish and Heathenish Ceremonies are
