2. The second was, if the Defender his own heart did not tell him, that there is a civil use of the things fore-named; which cannot be imagined of the Cross? The Rejoinder granteth a civil use of Bells; th•ugh not of Churches, or Communion table-clothes: Adding, that there may be a civil use of some Crosses, though not of Transient Grosses (such as ours) and also of Wafers. But he attended neither to those words of the Replier: If his own heart do not tell him; nor to those: such things. For his bringing-in first of terms, which involve the use together with the things, and that use also immediate, which is but mediate, in Churches, and Communion table clothes; with his contrary changing of such Crosses as ours, into some Crosses, and Wafer-Gods into Wafer-seals for letters, declare both. Concerning the difference, enough hath been said in the first part of this Fresh-suit, in the head of Ceremonies.

3. The third was, what Superstition was in the mere signification, given by Durandus unto Bells, and Bell-ropes, which is not to be found in our Cross and Surplice? The Rejoinder here answereth nothing; but only noteth many more superstitious significations to have been then conceited, of diverse things, and also of Bells, then we have in our Ceremonies. But the question was only of the weight, not the number of superstitious significations.
