1. The Replier his words are these: No example can the Defender find in all the book of God, for lawful reserving of Idolatrous Ceremonies, but only two; one of Gideon, Jud. 6.26. and another of Joshua, Josh. 6.19. These words the Rejoinder accuseth of dishonesty, not to be used against a Pagan. And why so? 1. Because the Defender undertook only to prove, that some Ceremonies, which have been formerly abused, are not therefore necessarily to be abolished, if they may be reduced to their indifferent use. Now by abused he meant Idolatrously abused, or else he touched not this fourth Argument, whose assumption himself repeated thus: Our Ceremonies have been Idolatrously abused. The Replier in stead of Idolatrously abused, put Idolatrous: because (as such) they are Idolatrous. And that, which is not necessarily to be abolished, may be retained: therefore the Replier (seeking brevity of speech) used the word retained. So doeth Beza adv. Harchium, de Coena, speak: Non desunt, qui Pastores vellent in illis, si non origine, at c•rte usu Baaliticis v•stibus apparere. So that in this, there was no unchristian dealing.
