As for Calvin, the Rej. doeth not deny, but that passage alleged is found in the place, the inventing of Ceremonies was an idle vanity, before the high opinion of Religion was added unto it. Yet (saith he) 1. he cleareth our Ceremonies, which was cast upon the Jewish superstitious washings. From some of that blame, (it may be granted) but not from all.
