2. The Argument is thus put together, by the Rej. pag. 77. All that is left unto the Churches liberty, in things pertaining to Gods worship, is to order them in comely manner. But to appoint and use the Ceremonies as we do, is not to order in comely manner any thing pertaining to Gods worship. Therefore, to appoint and use the Ceremonies as we do, is not left to the liberty of the Church, I. e. it is unlawful. The Rejoinder answereth first to the proposition, and then to the assumption, but so as he mingleth both together, in many words: Yet I will follow his order.

2. The Argument is thus put together, by the Rej. pag. 77. All that is left unto the Churches libertie, in things pertayning to Gods worship, is to order them in comely manner. But to appointe and use the Ceremonies as wee doe, is not to order in comely manner any thinge perteyning to Gods worship. Therfore, to appointe and use the Ceremonies as we doe, is not left to the libertie of the Churche, I. e. it is unlawfull. The Rejoynder answereth first to the proposition, and then to the assumption, but so as he mingleth both together, in many words: Yet I will follow his order.

3. First of all he denieth the proposition to be found, in the Repl. his meaning. But I can see no reason of this denial. 1. He saith, that Order and Ordering is taken sometime largely, for all discipline, or policy, sometime strictly, for ranking of persons and actions handsomely one before, and another after, and so is opposed only to confusion, as in this place, 1. Cor. 14.40. Now this is far• from overthrowing the proposition, in the Repl. his meaning. For the Repl. meant order in the strict sense, ⟨p. 58⟩which maketh also for his purpose: and this the Rej. granteth to be the meaning of the Apostle in this place 1, Cor. 14.40. Which place the same Rej. pag, 75. confesseth to be the only place (in the N. Test.) by which power is given to the Church to constitute Cerem: From both which laid together it necessarily followeth that all which is left unto the Churches power under the title of order, is ordaining in the strict sense, 1. e. ranking of persons and actions handsomely, as the Rejoinder expoundeth it. Yet immediately after he accuseth the Repl. for saying order to be the right placing and disposing of things instituted, for time, place, etc. not showing why this disliketh him, or wherein differeth from his own explication. Only he saith that etc. often by the Repl. put to time, and place, is a blind. Which is not so, for by etc. is meant all circumstances of like nature with time and place, as number, measure, vicissitude etc. How many Psalms shall be sung, or chapter read, what, and how much Scripture shall be at this or that assembly expounded, how one part of worship shall succeed another etc. without a blind.
