Sect. 2. Concerning worship answer, to the Rej. premonition, Pag. 123.124.125.126.127.
WE here have the Rej. again entrenching himself, and raising up many distinctions and definitions, as so many blinds, as it were, that the ignorant sort, and such as are more weak in judgment, might not perceive, how the evidence, and strength of the arguments, which are levelled directly against the Cerem. come in upon them, and prevail against them: As also, that in the tumult, and lumber of these distinctions, being thus hurried, and hurled together, those answers which are lame and wounded, may creep away, and escape in the crowd, unseen and unsuspected by the most, who either have not skill, or will and care, to examine things, before they pass, but are content, rather to take these conceits (which are accompanied with ease and quiet) upon trust, then to put them to the trial, or themselves to trouble & vexation, if they prove not true. And because this head is of weight, & worthy the scanning, we shall therefore take into further trial, and examination, what ever principles or authorities the Rej. hath set down, either in the premonition to the second argument, or in the beginning of his treatise, touching kneeling at the Sacrament. That we may thereby discern, what succour the Rej. his cause is like to find, when he thinks to shelter ⟨p. 125⟩under these outworks, which he hath reared up on purpose to be his sense.
