5. In the fifth place, another reason (or charge) was brought out of Mr. Hy. his papers, that the Ceremonies imposed, are (for their use and practise) preferred before principal parts of Gods worship: because this is the Pralats Canons: wear a Surplice, or preach not: Cross, or baptize not. This the Def. accused of dull Sophistry: because by this means, only an orderly discreet preacher is preferred before one that is factious and exorbitant. Of this base Bonnerly speech, the Repl. showed his just detestation. For which he is censured by the Rejoinder of casting it out of the mouth of his stomach, of malice, intemperate railings, and a furious spirit. All which I leave to the readers judgement. Only this I observe, that he would excuse all or most of the Prelates, from willing silencing any able and godly ministers for omission of our Ceremonies, and doeth absolutely deny, that the Def. ever silenced any Minister (willingly or unwillingly (for only omission of Ceremonies. Concerning which terms (willingly, and only omission) some light of explication were needful. For only omission of Cross, or Surplice, by oversight, or other accident, the Pope himself will not silence a Priest, as all Popish Divines tell us, in affirming that to be no mortal sin. And how those which make Canons for silencing upon purposed continued omission, and execute the same partly by themselves, and partly by their instruments, can be said to do it ⟨p. 191⟩unwillingly, this requireth interpretation, which will certainly be found tardy. For clearing of this charge, from the imputation of dull Sophistry, the Repl. first propounded it in this manner: an able godly Minister without the use of these Ceremonies, is not suffered in the Ministry, whereas an unable & ungodly one, with the use of them, is suffered: therefore they are preferred before main things: Upon this, the Rejoinder 1. observeth, that from hence doeth not follow that conclusion: therefore our Ceremonies are made parts of Gods worship. As if this conclusion were once named by Mr. Hy. or by the Def. in this charge.
