SECT. 17. Concerning the ancient Fathers allowing of Humane Ceremonies.

1. OF these, the Repl. answered, it cannot be proved, nor is probable, that from the first beginning of the Primitive Church they brought in any new inventions. Upon this, the Rej. accusing not him alone, but others also, that they can believe no trueth cross to their opinion, because they seek honour one of another, & presume of their new traditions, as if the spirit of trueth had come only to them, or from them alone, answereth that it is a matter of fact, proved by Records of Churches, against which nothing can be said. But if he could keep-in his passion, so long, as to hear this only word, that there are no sufficient Records of any such thing, extant from the beginning, then he might see that sufficient answer is given, unto the name of all Fathers, always.
