It followeth not: the Apostles retained the rite of blood and things strangled, 1therefore we may set up new things as matters of worship, t•is Consequence is false, because the Apostles did not Establish this rite, but only take it up for a while. 2. Though they had instituted some new thing here follows nothing for innovation. This imitation hath ever been hurtful to the Church. The Bishop is the hearer, and takes the word and rites from the Apostles with a certain charge, that he delivereth them over to the Church unchanged.

- 1Non valet consequentia: Apostoli ritum de sanguine, & suffecate, retinu•runt. Ergo licet nova instituere tanquam cultus. Neganda est consequentia: quia Apostoli non instituerunt sed retinuerunt hunc ritum. Deinde, etiamsi quid novi instituissent, non sequitur, innovationem concessam esse: Semper haec imitatio nacuit Ecclesia. Episcipus est auditor, et accepet verbum, & ritus, ab Apostolis, cum certo mandato, ut haec non mutata tradat Ecclesiae.
9. Bullinger (saith the Rejoinder) undoubtedly condemneth all worship of God, which is merely of mans tradition: but not Ecclesiastical laws, nor worship agreeable to Gods word, as public meetings for worship, set times, places, manner of administration, holy days, and fast days.
