SECT. XXXII.
The next instance is, The observation of the Lords day: which the Defendant would never have brought in as an example of a humane ceremony, if he had not either been sea-sick or else sleepy with his long sailing which he spake of in the former section. For he taketh it for granted, that we hold the Lords day to be an institution of man, which we utterly deny: We hold, as Junius answereth Bell. about this matter de cult. sanct. l. 3. c. 10. an. 33. c. 11. an. 3. it is the divine institution of Christ himself.

By the way here he bringeth in a testimony of Zanchius, calling our Temples types and shadows of the celestial Temple. But Zanchier meaning was not to make them destinated instituted types: but only such things as by accommodation may serve fitly to put us in mind of such a matter: even as any arbitrary similitude that is fit, may be called a tide and shadow. I would the Defendant would read the very next Thesis of Zanchie to that he quoteth: there he should see, that Images, though they be not for the present worshipped, yet ought to be removed out of Churches, because they help not but hinder the worship of God. If Images, then by the Def. own former grant, mystical ceremonies of mans invention: and so mystical Churches too.
