A sixth partition is of simple and double Cerem. double are described to be such, as beside their use, for order and decency, serve also to edification, by some profitable signification which either of themselves they have some aptness unto, or receive by appointment, as it were by common agreement. Where 1. the Rej. seemeth to double with us, when he maketh simple Ceremon. to serve only for order and decency, without signification, when as before and after he telleth us, that no Cere. may be dumb, but all must have their signification, 2. Order and decency seem to be separated from edification in some sacred Ceremon. which he knew not of that willed all things to be done unto edification. 3. All significant Cerem. are supposed first to be in order and decency, and yet after so long a time, we are to learn what use our cross hath for order, more then a circle would have. 4.

A strange power is here given unto the convocation, to make things apt for signification and edification, by their appointment, which before were not apt to any such thing. This was wont to be the peculiar of God, to call things that are not as if they were, and so make them this or that,
