And in deed he might as well name diverse thousands, as these. But 1. if so many ⟨p. 119⟩thousand Ceremonies may be added lawfully to Gods law, what meant Augustine, and all our Divines, out of him, to complain of such an intolerable burden of Ceremonies, in regard of their number? 2. Diverse readings, are no more additions, then Coningstable and Constable, are to the Statute of Constables. Marginal notes, no more, then an exposition is to the text, which kind of addition, the Papists do wickedly allege for their doctrinal traditions. Interlinear glosses, notes marginal references Commentaries of the same nature. Reading by sections, building, and ordering, are evidently things of mere order, of which, if any man shall say they are additions, then if he be a poor man, he may make great addition to the little money he hath, by dividing it into sections, placing it fitly, and disposing of it orderly a hundred ways, to the increase (as it were) of a hundred fold: which would be a welcome doctrine (if it were true) to many a poor man, and even to those which are impoverished by the Bishops silencings, deprivations, and excommunications, for not allowing of additions to Gods worship.
