1. He telleth us that P.M. doeth distinguish, though not divide, comeliness from order. Which we do also, For take the Repl. his words in the most rigorous sense you can, yet comeliness of order, doeth distinguish con linesse from order, no less then comeliness of a man, doeth distinguish it from a man. 2. He addeth, that P. Mart. doeth there instance in the Ceremony of thrice dipping, and in the observation or institution of Feasts. But let the Reader know, that those words, Ceremony, observation, institution of feasts, which the Rejoinder hath set down in a differing letter, to be noted as P.M. his words, are not to be found in the place of P.M. but are added by the Rejoinder for advantage. P.M. expoundeth the meaning he had in all his instances by what place, what time, what manner. If therefore the Repl. did not look upon that place,1 but took it on trust, from the trusty hand of D. Whitaker (as the Rejoinder objected to him) yet it proveth good and fitting. So that the Rejoynd. forgetteth himself much, when upon this uncertain, and momentlesse conjecture, he compareth the Repl. to a hungry creature (or dog) that runneth away with a bare bone. D. Morton once (at the least) alleged some testimonies on trust: and therefore, being challenged for them, he confessed that he had them from Mr. Stock. Yet the Popish adversary (author of the Sober reckoning) did not compare ⟨p. 62⟩him to a dog, but only said, that he sent to stocks and stones, for satisfaction about them. Which I do not allege to the disparagement of either D. M. or Mr, St. but only to show by comparison how the Rej. doeth sometime overflow, in his terms. 3. For D. Whitaker, he telleth us, that he only saith, that Ecclesiastical laws belong only to order, or ordering, but not as it is distinct from comeliness. As if any of us did so. The Repl. his words: ordering in comely manner, do not (I hope) refer all to order, considered a part from all comeliness.

He addeth, that P. Mart. doeth there instance in the Ceremonie of thrise dipping, and in the observation or institution of Feasts. But let the Reader know, that those words, Ceremonie, observation, institution of feasts, which the Rejoynder hath set downe in a differing letter, to be noted as P.M. his words, are not to be found in the place of P.M. but are added by the Rejoynder for advantage. P.M. expoundeth the meaning he had in all his instances by what place, what time, what manner. If therfore the Repl. did not looke upon that place,
