2. The Defender his second reason, was such, as the Repl. could find no conclusion in, but that somethings abused, may afterward be rightly used: which he granted. The Rejoinder addeth, that his reason did conclude this of some human Ceremonies, from the Law of shadows. He said in deed, among other instances, that a Man or Woman, legally unclean, might he legally cleansed or purged. And can he conclude from Men and Women, to human unnecessary Ceremonies? He may as well conclude, that because ⟨p. 513⟩in a fretting leprosy, the leprous mans head may not be cut off, nor his body burned; therefore his infected garments were not to be burnt, nor the hair of his head and beard cut off.

The Rejoynder addeth, that his reason did conclude this of some human Ceremonies, from the Law of shadowes. He sayd in deed, among other instances, that a Man or Woman, legally unclean, might he legally cleansed or purged. And can he conclude from Men and Women, to human unnecessarie Ceremonies? He may as well conclude, that because ⟨p. 513⟩in a fretting leprosie, the leprous mans head may not be cutt off, nor his body burned; therfor his infected garments were not to be burnt, nor the hayre of his head and beard cutte off.
The Replier also granted that Surplices might be turned into under garments for poor people; and wooden Crosses given them for firing.
The Rejoinder answereth 1. that this is no use of Ceremonies, as Ceremonies. As if he himself did alway speak formally!
