If this be not enough, to show Calvins judgement, of Ceremonious additions, let that be added, which he saith to Cassander, and therefore to the Def. and Rejoinder teaching the very same doctrine of Ceremonies,¹ that Cassander did. Opusc. pag. 355. He taught that the Ceremonies ordained by Christ are to be kept entirely, and incorruptly: and nothing must be added to their institution as if they were lame or imperfect, which indeed is somewhat, but it is not all, because by an indirect shift he would let into the church all other rites. But this half trueth is overturned, when he believes a right given to the Apostles and their Successors, to institute such ceremonies in the administration of the Sacraments which may be for ornament. Therefore he which confessed before nothing should be added, doeth now not only admit such by-Ceremonies, but also commands them. Yet will he help himself with a subtle shift, viz. additions are to be endured, if the Sacraments be not held lame or imperfect, therefore with what mixtures you will, the Sacraments may be wholly changed, and yet all be well, so be you charge not Christ to his teeth, that any of his institutions go lame, and halting etc.
