Again hence it follows, divine ceremonies as such, are parts of worship: every species as it is a species, is part of his genus: but divine ceremonies as such, are species of religious worship: whence that is false which the Rej. affirms in the seventh consectary:¹ That actions in some consideration may be real acts of Divine worship, and as so, be no ceremonies. For its evident, he doth and must needs speak of acts Ceremoniously religious, and then beside the former argument, I would reason thus: ⟨p. 38⟩If a man, as he doth refer a religious action to another, doth worship God, then is it a species of worship even in that reference: but as he doth refer a religious action to another, he doth worship God: ergo, that action in that reference is a species of worship: And thus much his own words in the same consectary seem to me to evince: The outward elements and acts in respect of the inward things they do represent and exhibit are cerem.

Againe hence it followes, divine ceremonies as such, are parts of worship: every species as it is a species, is part of his genus: but divine ceremonies as such, are species of religious worship: whence that is false which the Rej. affirmes in the seventh consectary:
