In the next place, answer is tendered to this reason of Mr. Br. The bare ratifying of the present use of any thing, cannot make it true and lawful worship, if it had not be•ore some nature of worship in the use of it. The force lieth in this, that bare ratifying or authorizing of any thing to have that use which it had before without such authority, doeth not change the physical entity, essence, or use of it, but only the authority, or legality of it. The instances brought by the Rejoinder to the contrary, may have some show, but have no force to that purpose. 1. The sole stamp of the King, makes that current money, which was not money at all before, but ⟨p. 169⟩only used by way of bartery. In which comparison, he utterly mistaketh and varieth the quality wherein it consisteth. For on the one side, it standeth thus: If God should command and us to use our Ceremonies, after the same manner that we have used them, without his command, they should be parts of Gods proper outward worship. On the other side it standeth thus: if the King command that piece of metal to be used for current money, which before was not used so, but only for bartery, it should be current money. Here is no similitude, because no proportion of quality.
