3. Upon occasion of the other part, in the Def. his distinction, (that Accidental worship is any rite, which serveth for the more consonant, and convenient discharge of essential worship,) the Repl. whereas he might have said, that this is a misshapen definition of Accidental worship in general, as it may be divided into true and false, good, and bad, opposeth only this: that no judicious Divine useth to call circumstances of mere order and decency, (which notwithstanding ⟨p. 130⟩serve for the more consonant and convenient discharge of essential worship) that is a Pulpit, a Table, a fair-Cloth, etc. Worship.

Now 1. mark here, how the Rejoinder who defineth a Ceremony, it is an action etc. and laugheth at the Repl.

Who ever was so mad (because it pleaseth him to use this term) as to say, that standing in a Pulpit, the better to be heard (which is all the use of it) is to be called worship? 3. Crossing with such expression of the signification thereof, as is used in Baptism, can neither be distinguished from the use of a Cross, nor equalled to the use of a pulpit, not yet lawfully styled true worship, without a spice of one disease or other.
