13. B. Westphaling (with Augustine) peremptorily •ffirmeth, that Jewish Ceremonies cannot be used, no not with an intent differing from that of the Jews, with out danger of damnation. We allow this (answereth the Rejoinder) because God hath repealed them; and to use them •ere to call the coming of Christ into question. And is it so great a sin, to use Jewish Ceremonies, without a Jewish intent? How then durst the Defendant and Rej. pag. 285. affirm, that to use some Jewish rite (even Circumcision it self) without a Jewish opinion, is not damnable? In one, or both of these places, they much forgot themselves. And they that disallow of a Jewish Ceremony, used without a Jewish opinion, how can they allow of a Popish Ceremony, in any use?
13. B. Westphaling (with Augustine) peremptorily •ffirmeth, that Iewish Ceremonies cannot be used, no not with an intent differing from that of the Iewes, with out danger of damnation. We allow this (answereth the Rejoynder) because God hath repealed them; and to use them •ere to call the comming of Christ into question. And is it so great a sinne, to use Iewish Ceremonies, without a •ewish intent? How then durst the Defendant and Rej. pag. 285. affirme, that to use some Iewish rite (even Circum•ision it selfe) without a Iewish opinion, is not damnable? In one, or both of these places, they much forgat themselves. And they that disallow of a Iewish Ceremony, used without a Iewish opinion, how can they allow of a Popish Ceremony, in any use?
14. D. Bilson, alloweth in reformed Churches, that they can by no means digest one dram of Popish Ceremonies. It was well spoken (answereth the Rejoinder) in defence of those Churches which had cast off all the Ceremonies of the Papists, for the consequence sake; but proveth not, that all Churches are bound to do so; or that this Bishop thought so, who used and urged these Ceremonies. Where he would persuade us 1. That our Church can (lawfully) do that, which Reformed Churches cannot by any means do.
