Bucanus is the eight witness, and yet nothing out of hi• is brought, but that ecclesiastical rites, are not worship […] themselves, and as a work done. Did any of us ever affirme• they were such worship? May be the Rej. would gather from thence, that there is a worship, which is not of i• self, and as a work done such, which (though it canno• be gathered from that phrase, with better reason, the• if from this, that faith (doeth not justify of it self, an• as a work done, he should conclude, that some grace there is, which justifieth of it self, and as a work done yet we may well grant of false worship: But see how unhappy the Rej. is in his wrested allegations.

The same Buc. also, Lo. 47. qu. 65. giveth this rule: […] human ceremonies ought to be used, but those which are ointed, and commanded by the authority of the son of […].
