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.

On the other part, this professed, sworne sentence of Iunius is alledged: If any man, eyther by Civill, or Ecclesiasticall authoritie, will adde thinges not necessarie, nor agreeable to Order, wee would not pertinaciously contend with him, but desire onely that he would seriously consider of three thinges. 1. By what authoritie, or example, he is led to thinke, that the holy Churche of God, and the simplicitie of the mysteries of Christ (whose voyce onely is heard by his sheep) must be clad with humane traditions, which Christ doeth reject? 2. To what ende he judgeth, that thes thinges should be added unto those that are divine? For if the ende be conformitie with others, it were more aequitie, that other Churches should conforme to those, which come neerest to the Word of God (as Ciprians counsel is) then that these should conforme to the other. If the ende be comelinesse, what is more comely then the simplicitie of Christ? What is more simple then that comelinesse.

If there be no other reason beside will, then that of Tertullian is to be thought of: The will of God, is the chief necessity, ⟨p. 90⟩and that the Church of God is not tied unto mans wisdom in things Divine. The third thing to be thought on is, what event always hath followed upon humane traditions, as long experience doeth show? Ecclesiastíci, lib. 3. Cap. 5. This testimony is so full, and clear, that it needeth no candle of Commentary, or Consequence, to be set by it. What can the Rejoinder answer?
