The epistle out of which this quotation is, was written in deed against our Ceremonies, yet the Repl. leaving to a fitter place, noted only for the present purpose, that it was written of them. But the Rejoynd. being great with an observation or two, addeth about that: Moreover Zanchie when he wrote to Q Eliz. to persuade her not to urge the Ceremonies so severely, did write at the same time to B. Jewel, that Ministers should rather yield to them, then leave their places: because they are not simply unlawful.

The epistle out of which this quotation is, was written in deed against our Ceremonies, yet the Repl. leaving to a fitter place, noted onely for the present purpose, that it was written of them. But the Rejoynd. being great with an observation or two, addeth about that: Moreover Zanchie when he wrote to Q Eliz. to persuade her not to urge the Ceremonies so severly, did write at the same time to B. Iewel, that Ministers should rather yeeld to them, then leave their places: because they are not simplie unlawfull.

To which I answer 1. Zanchie writ to Q. Eliz not only that the Ceremonies should not be so severely urged, but also that they ought not to be urged, imposed, or allowed of at all, but abolished. And of this his judgement, he gave such effectual reasons, as can never be answered. Among other, one is proper unto this place, and fit here to be remembered, because it overthroweth ⟨p. 97⟩all that warrant which the Def. and Rejoinder have hitherto, or can hereafter plead for them, out of 1. Cor. 14. Order, Decency, Edification. These Ceremonies saith he make not for edification, but for public dissension, private perturbation of conscience, with scandal of good and bad. They make not for order, but disorder, and confusion of good Ministers with evil or Popish, who ought even in garments to differ. They make not for decency of Christs Spouse: because they are a strange ridiculous, idolatrous attire of this Romish whore.
