4. About Junius, there is more ado, because his ⟨p. 89⟩words are set down at large on both pars. But as for that which the Def. and Rejoinder cite out of him, pag. 109. I cannot say much more then hath been answered to the other Divines, until a consequence be framed out of them, more effectual to the purpose, then is in that which the Rejoynd. only questioneth. And doeth the rule 1. Cor. 14. concern nothing but circumstances of Order? Or can our opposites be accorded with this saying? For it hath been formerly manifested what that rule doeth require, and how it may be accorded with our tenet.
4. About Iunius, ther is more adoe, because his ⟨p. 89⟩wordes are set downe at large on both pars. But as for that which the Def. and Rejoynder cite out of him, pag. 109. I cannot say much more then hath been answered to the other Divines, untill a consequence be framed out of them, more effectuall to the purpose, then is in that which the Rejoynd. onely quaestioneth. And doeth the rule 1. Cor. 14. concerne nothing but circumstances of Order? Or can our opposites be accorded with this saying? For it hath been formerly manifested what that rule doeth require, and how it may be accorded with our tenent.
On the other part, this professed, sworn sentence of Junius is alleged: If any man, either by Civill, or Ecclesiastical authority, will add things not necessary, nor agreeable to Order, we would not pertinaciously contend with him, but desire only that he would seriously consider of three things. 1. By what authority, or example, he is led to think, that the holy Church of God, and the simplicity of the mysteries of Christ (whose voice only is heard by his sheep) must be clad with humane traditions, which Christ doeth reject? 2. To what end he judgeth, that thes things should be added unto those that are divine? For if the end be conformity with others, it were more equity, that other Churches should conform to those, which come nearest to the Word of God (as Cyprian's counsel is) then that these should conform to the other. If the end be comeliness, what is more comely then the simplicity of Christ? What is more simple then that comeliness.
