The Rej. saith that a distinction is made, of Ceremonies whereof some are substantial Divine, and Doctrinals, and have particular determination in Scripture, some are not substantial, called, Rituals, and mere Ceremonies : the former have particular determination in Scripture, but not the later. Now (to let pass, that this distinction concerneth not •he proposition which formerly was said to be denied because there is no mention in it of any term here distinguished) let any man of reason consider the sense of this distinction: Ceremonies are either substantial, Divine, Doctrinal, that is, such as have particular determination in the word, or else not substantial, that is, such as have no particular determination in the word; the former have particular determination in the word; but the later have not. Which is as much as to say; those Ceremonies which have no particular determination in the word, have no particular determination in the word. This explication cannot be excepted against, except Divine and Doctrinal Ceremonies be not all one, with Ceremonies determined by doctrine Divine, which neither the Defen. or Rejoinder or any considerate man for them, will deny. The Rejoinder himself for instance of substantial, Divine, Doctrinal Cerem: putteth all those of Moses, ⟨p. 7⟩law, many of which were no way such, but only in that they were particularly appointed of God. And to put the matter out of a•l doubt, the Rejoinder p. 60. telleth us plainly: that the Def. useth, and all of his side do use in this question, the term Doctrinal passively, for a thing taught in the word.
