If a Father charge his son, or a Master his servant, first that for a certain time, he do nothing beside that which he shall bid him: and then command ⟨p. 100⟩him for that time, to read in a certain book, if that son, or servant, shall beside reading paint antic f•ces in his book, he shall do only beside the particular command, and yet against the general charge, & both ways censurable. Let the Rejoinder therefore spare his words, and see better to his Argument, or rather eat both, that others be not troubled with them.

2. The second reason, brought by the Def. was: Nothing that is indifferent, can be pronounced simply unlawful. But some Ceremonies of mans invention are indifferent. Ergo, not to be pronounced simply unlawful. All which is granted of circumstances of Order, if by invention, be meant determination; otherwise, the Assumption is denied. Though it was added also (exsuperabundante) that things indifferent are sometime taken so generally, that in that sense, the proposition may be denied. Against this, I cannot discern what material thing is Rejoined. He saith, that it is easy to say the Assumption is false, and not to show wherein. But I have hitherto thought that it is sufficient for answer to any Argument, to deny the Assumption, until it be proved: and that the falsity of any sentence, doeth consist in this, that it pronounceth otherwise then the thing is, and therefore in saying an assumption is false, it is not needful, to show wherein.
