All this the Rejoinder knoweth: and yet he ceaseth not to beat the air, with endless repetitions of this imputation, gilded over with some variety of taunting phrases, that it may be the easier, swallowed by his unwary ⟨p. 30⟩reader. 2. It is secondly answered by the Def. that the ancient writers speak of doctrines, not of ceremonies. Whereunto the Repl. granting that to be true for the most part yet answereth, that the trueth of their sayings may be taken so generally, as to include all religious Ceremonies. Here the Rejoinder objecteth that limitation (for the most part) is only to abuse the simple, and that the ambiguous term of religious Ceremony, is a bush to hide I know not what in.
