Secondly, the Repl. noted diverse words of Ursin, sounding wholly to the denial of the honourable title of good worship unto human institutions. Upon which the Rejoinder complaineth, of wilful omitting these words of Ursin: worship properly so called doeth so please ⟨p. 139⟩God, that the contrary of it would displease him. Where (saith the Rejoinder) we have an exact description of worship properly so called. But he is herein deceived. For if this be an exact description of proper worship, then when a child honoureth his father, he doeth properly and immediately honour and worship God: because such an act doeth so please God, that the contrary of it (dishonouring of ones father) must needs displease him.
Secondly, the Repl. noted diverse words of Vrsin, sounding wholly to the deniall of the honorable title of good worship unto human institutions. Vpon which the Rejoynder complaineth, of willfull omitting these words of Vrsin: worship properly so called doeth so please ⟨p. 139⟩God, that the contrarie of it would displease him. Where (sayth the Rejoynder) we have an exact description of worship properly so called. But he is herin deceyved. For if this be an exact description of proper worship, then whē a child honoreth his father, he doeth properly and immediatly honor and worship God: because suche an act doeth so please God, that the contrarie of it (dishonoring of ones father) must needs displease him.
And so, in very deed, was the meaning of Ursin, to call the moral duties even of the second table, worship properly so called. Which form of speaking, though it cannot be excused from great impropriety, yet maketh it nothing for, but rather against the Rej. because Ursin hereby denieth human Ceremonies so much to participate the nature & name of worship, as any mean moral duty of the second table doeth, no not so much as the hang-mans office, in the due execution of it.
