1. That this was the Assumption, or second part of this Argument, no man can doubt, that readeth the Proposition, or former part, set down in the first section of this Chapter, and understandeth the process of reason. The Defendant therefore was blamed, for setting down the Assumption thus: Our Ceremonies have been Idolatrously abused by Papists. The Rejoinder not willing to forsake him in any failing, allegeth 1. That the Defendant took the substance ⟨p. 476⟩of the Assumption from the Abridgement, and others. Which might indeed have occasioned him to add some thing unto the Abridgers assumption; but in no wise to detract any thing from it: at least, not out of them and others, to patch up a false syllogism (the whole medium, or third argument, which was used in the proposition, not being repeated in the Assumption) which every pun•e in Logic can put off with a wet finger. He addeth 2. That the clause (of no necessary use) is no part of the Argument, but an exception, answered before. sect. 1. And yet see how he contradicteth himself!

Yet now he denieth that to be any part of the Assumption. The trueth is, both the Defendant and Rejoinder, were loath to meddle, (more then of necessity they must) with the convenient necessity of our Ceremonies, least they should evidently either wrong their consciences, or betray their cause. In the 3. place, he denieth him to have omitted these words (human inventions, or devises) saying, that the Replier hath untruly added them: because neither they, nor any like them, are in the Abridgement, pag. 26. or 27. But let him, or any other, look once again upon the Abridgement, in those pages, and he shall see upon the margin, these words: All the Ceremonies in question, are human inventions, &c. After this, he accuseth the Repl. for not observing every word of the Abridgement, in repeating the Assumption: but he could show no sense ⟨p. 477⟩changed: let that therefore pass.
