10. Chamier (saith the Rejoinder) To. 3. l. 20. c. 5. four times, useth this distinction, of worship proper and accidental. But Chamier only calleth those special material acts, which are conjoined with formal acts of worship, accidental parts of worship: as if a man vowed to drink no wine for a certain time, his abstaining from wine pertaineth to worship, only by accident. So if in solemn prayer for a Prince, his titles, and style be rehearsed, or any special terms of honour, this ⟨p. 143⟩pertaineth to prayer, by accident. What is this to such instituted worship, as the Cross?
10. Chamier (sayth the Rejoynder) To. 3. l. 20. c. 5. foure times, useth this distinction, of worship proper and accidentall. But Chamier onely calleth those speciall materiall acts, which are conjoined with formall acts of worship, accidentall parts of worship: as if a man vowed to drinke no wine for a certain time, his absteyning from wine perteyneth to worship, onely by accident. So if in solemne prayer for a Prince, his titles, and style be rehearsed, or any speciall termes of honor, this ⟨p. 143⟩perteyneth to prayer, by accident. What is this to suche instituted worship, as the Crosse?
11. Mr. Perkins (saith the Rejoinder) condemneth that worship instituted by men, which is so simple, and in it self. For he granteth a bodily worship necessary (as kneeling, lifting up of hands, and eyes etc.) terming it less principal worship. As if this were not the very same thing that we profess. But if any man see Mr. Perk. on the second Commandment, in his gold chain, in his explication of the Decalogue, and in his treatise of idolatry, he shall find this constantly taught by him, as a positive doctrine, that all worship, all things obtruded under the name of worship (without any exception) if they be not by God commanded, are unlawful, superstitious worship.
