15. To Doctor Humphrey, the Rejoinder had nothing to oppose, but that afterwards he did wear the Surplice. Now the trueth of this dependeth on the Rej. his hear-say, so far as I know. Yet be it so: doeth not affliction, and poverty, make many a wise man, turn a little aside out of his way? The histories of all ages testify such infirmities to have been found in many Godly and learned. And after-yielding to the Surplice without giving any public reason for it, doeth not argue that he did not formerly hold that (and constantly the other) unlawful, upon those grounds which he hath left in print, unrecalled. I do not believe that there can be so much showed under D. Humphrey's hand for ou• Ceremonies, as his Epistle, represented in the form Chapter, hath against them.

16. Concerning Doctor Fulke, one sentence of his was alleged, that he which disliketh our form of service, as not differing sufficiently from the Papists, showeth his zeal in detestation of Idolatry. This (saith the Rejoinder) was a charitable excuse of them. The urging then, defending and rejoining, for our Ceremonies in that manner as now is used, is an uncharitable accusation ⟨p. 473⟩
