For 1. If Junius meant adorning, as the Rejoinder saith he did, that is one office of a garment, and such a one as the Rejoinder ascribeth to Ceremonies in respect of Religion, pag. 95. where is said that they are comely formalities, suitable to the dignity and variety of divine actions. 2. If Junius meant hiding of nakedness of Religion, he meant it only in the esteem of those which impose such Ceremonies. And so all they that add their Ceremonies to Religion, as useful garments, do seem to account it (in comparison) naked without them. 3. If the Def. meant to show, that our Ceremonies are not essential limbs of the body of Religion, so did Junius mean to show, that those which add their Ceremonies to Gods ordinances, do pretend, they add only clothing, not members, to the body of Religion. Neither is this snatching at words, as the Rejoinder termeth it. For it is, and hath been an ordinary commendation of Ceremonies, that they are as a garment to Religion. Whence it was that a Scottishman (as I remember) at the first coming of King James into England, hearing them maintained under that name, answered that he wondered then how Religion did live, and thrive, in the cold country of Scotland; without such linsey-woolsey garments?
For 1. If Iunius meant adorning, as the Rejoynder sayth he did, that is one office of a garment, and suche a one as the Rejoynder ascribeth to Ceremonies in respect of Religion, pag. 95. where is sayd that they are comely formalities, suitable to the dignitie and varietie of divine actions. 2. If Iunius meant hiding of nakednesse of Religion, he meant it onely in the esteem of those which impose suche Ceremonies. And so all they that adde their Ceremonies to Religion, as usefull garments, doe seem to account it (in comparison) naked without them. 3. If the Def. meant to shew, that our Ceremonies are not essentiall limbes of the bodie of Religion, so did Iunius mean to shew, that those which adde their Ceremonies to Gods ordinances, doe pretend, they adde onely clothing, not members, to the body of Religion. Neyther is this snaching at words, as the Rejoynder termeth it. For it is, and hath been an ordinarie commēdation of Ceremonies, that they are as a garment to Religion. Whence it was that a Scottishman (as I remember) at the first comming of King Iames into England, hearing them mainteyned under that name, answered that he wondred then how Religion did live, and thrive, in the colde countrie of Scotland; without suche linsiewoolsy garments?
