4. The first witness brought in for us, is Calvin, inst. l. 4. cap. 10. sect. 8. All those constitutions are wicked, in the observation whereof we place any worship to God. The Def. answereth, he meant not by worship, circumstances of order. Which the Repl. readily granted: because it were non sense, to say, all observations in which circumstances of order are placed, be wicked. To this the Rejoinder saith first, it is a baby. 2. he saith, ⟨p. 131⟩that Calvin meant not to condemn all constitutions of order: which is as true a baby as the former. 3. Calvin (saith he) defineth what Constitutions are contrary to the word of God, namely such as are ordained and imposed as necessary for conscience, etc. But Calvin doeth only show that such are of the forbidden kind: and every notifying of a special, is not a definition of the general kind. 4. He addeth, that Calvin doeth allow of some significant Ceremonies sect. 14. Of signification, we are to consider in the next chapter. In the mean time this: Calvin generally speaketh against all worship invented of men, without any distinction. One ambiguous phrase of Ceremonies in general, without any example, save only Divine, in which he instanceth immediately after the words cited, doeth not make a contradiction to the former sentence. All the rest of the Rejoinder his allegations out of Calvin, about this answer have their answer, in the staple sect. of the Manuduction. 5.6.7.
