But let us see what the Rejoinder can find in Calvins words, for the Def. his purpose. First (saith the Rejoinder) Calvin differenceth matters merely ritual, from matters real, as the Def. doeth. Which as the Def. doeth, ⟨p. 15⟩is not true. For the Def. differenceth Ceremonies into substantial and merely Ritual, p: 7. whereas Calvin doeth not difference Ceremonies, nor maketh any mention of mere Rituals.
But let us see what the Rejoynder can finde in Calvines words, for the Def. his purpose. First (sayth the Rejoynder) Calvin differenceth matters meerly rituall, from matters reall, as the Def. doeth. Whiche as the Def. doeth, ⟨p. 15⟩is not true. For the Def. differenceth Ceremonies into substantiall and meerly Rituall, p: 7. wheras Calvin doeth not difference Ceremonies, nor maketh any mention of mere Ritualls.
Take away that as the Def. doeth, and then the Repl. doeth so also.
Secondly Calvin (saith the Def.) showeth that Christ hath left mere Rituals at the Churches choice under general rules only. Now hear that equivocation which the •epl. spake of, for by Ceremonies, Calvin understandeth no such thing, as the Def. and Rejoinder doeth by mere Rituals. The Def. and Rej. (as Bellarmine doeth) comprehend under that name Mystical Ceremonies, which the Rejoinder calleth double or treble Ceremonies: but Calvin meaneth only single matter of order and Decency. For this cause it was, that the Repl. said, the Def. should have dealt more plainly in citing of Bellarmin, then of Calvin.
