10. Public injunctions were wont to forbid all Monuments of Superstition; and the Canons 1571. did forbid the grey Amice, and all other garments defiled with like superstition. Therefore (saith the Rejoinder 1.) •hey did not take our Ceremonies for such Monuments.

D. Morton hath plentifully showed so much of the Popish Church, as the Rejoinder will not deny.
