Polanus is next, who (saith the Rej.) in his syntagme defineth true worship of God to be the performance of what he hath commanded in obedience to him, to his honour, yet in his partitions pag. 128. he saith, that an ecclesiastical rite or Cerem. is outward worship of God, not forgetting or crossing himself, but taking the name of worship in one place properly, and in the other improperly, or reductively. Where it is to be noted, that Polanus saith nothing of improper, reductive worship, but those terms are putt into his ⟨p. 149⟩•outh, or thrust into he speech by the Rejoyner. 2. Po••nus writ his partitions, when he was a young man, […] divine, but his Syntagme was his last work: If ••erfore any crossing was found in these two wri••ngs, his Syntagme was to be taken, as his more mature judgment, and preferred as his last will and testament. […]. In this his Syntagme lib. 8. c. 1. he hath not only […] definition of worship, contrary to the Rej. his tenet, […] many other Items: ¹It belongs to the substance of a good •ork, that it be commanded of God, and therefore its requi•e, that the worship of God, and every thing appertaining ••erunto be commanded: Actions indifferent, are not the worship of God &c. 4. In the place quoted out of his par•ons: That an ecclesiastical rite is outward worship, he •oth not cross himself, for what he there meaneth by […] ecclesiastical rite, he showeth in the specials, which […] after setteth down, as sacrifices &c. though he mingeth some human feasts, with the ordinances of God •or his method sake, never intending to make such ce•emon. as ours lawful worship, and therefore opposeth •is ecclesiastical rites to those duties, that are performed only by speech: as Invocation, confession, thanksgiving.
