A reason was rendered of the former assertion: because a Pulpit-cloth Communion-cup, and Meeting-place are only civill, being taken from the ordinary civill customs of men. To which the Rejoinder opposeth, that no civill man will say, that they are only civill in their application: Which is very true. Nor will any Grammarian say, that good Hebrew, Greek, or Latin, are only grammatical in their application, because they are applied to the expressing of all kind of truths and falsehoods: and yet they are only grammatical etymology and syntax. No Naturalist will say, that the earth and air are only natural in application, and yet they are only natural beings.

To which the Rejoynder opposeth, that no civill man will say, that they are onely civill in their application: Whiche is verie true. Nor will any Grammarian say, that good Hebrue, Greek, or Latine, are onely gramaticall in their application, because they are applied to the expressing of all kinde of trueths and falsehoods: and yet they are onely gramaticall etimologie and syntaxe. No Naturalist will say, that the earth and ayre are onely naturall in application, and yet they are onely naturall beinges.

It was further added, that clothes, cups, meeting places etc. are of the same use out of Gods service, that they are in it.

This is occasion of admiration, and exclamation to the Rejoinder. But he might have considered, that the immediate end of a clothe, is to cover; of a cup, to drink out; of meeting places, to meet in: and then where is the strangeness of this assertion? Is there not the same immediate use of a mans eyes, in reading one book, as another, of a mans ears, in hearing one voice, and another, how soever the subject seen, or heard, may differ in nature or kind.
