6. From the same rule, the Replier said, it may be ⟨p. 480⟩concluded, that no Popish Ceremonies are Jewish, or Heathenish: because they are not the same individually, or in particular. Not so neither (saith the Rejoinder) because they use Jewish Typicals; and others, as still in force by the Jews laws; and Pagan Rites, with the like intention. But 1. The Papists do not use Jewish Typicals, as types of Christ yet to come; and therefore according to the Def. and Rej. their sentence, must be excused: because they hold Circumcision it self lawful to Christians, pag. 285. 2. They do not hold any Ceremonial Jewish laws to bind Christians. See Bellarmine, de justificatione, lib. 4. cap. 6. It is neither good, nor safe, to accuse any beyond their deserts. 3. Likeness of intention, betwixt Pagans and Papists, is such as admitteth much dislikeness. And such likeness there is betwixt our Ceremonies, and Popish.

6. From the same rule, the Replier sayd, it may be ⟨p. 480⟩concluded, that no Popish Ceremonies are Iewish, or Heathenish: because they are not the same individually, or in particular. Not so neither (sayth the Rejoynder) because they use Iewish Typicals; and others, as still in force by the Iewes lawes; and Pagan Rites, with the like intention. But 1. The Papists doe not use Iewish Typicals, as types of Christ yet to come; and therefore according to the Def. and Rej. their sentence, must be excused: because they holde Circumcision it selfe lawfull to Christians, pag. 285. 2. They doe not hold any Ceremoniall Iewish lawes to binde Christians. See Bellarmine, de justificatione, lib. 4. cap. 6. It is neither good, nor safe, to accuse any beyond their deserts. 3. Likenesse of intention, betwixt Pagans and Papists, is such as admitteth much dislikenesse. And such likenesse there is betwixt our Ceremonies, and Popish.

7. It was inquired, whether the Scripture, forbidding conformity with Heathen Idolaters, in shaving of heads, and cutting of beards, did mean the same heads and beards only? No: (answereth the Rejoinder) because the like in kind was forbidden. And this is that which the Replier sought. For then by proportionable equity, Ceremonies like in kind to Idolaters, are forbidden to Christians, at this day, and not the same particulars only.
