Sect. 7. Benedicite.
Ans. [This Hymn was used all the Church over, Conc. Tolet. Can. 13. and therefore should be continued still, as well as Te Deum, (Ruffin. Apol. cont. Hieron.) or, Veni Creator, which they do not object against us as Apocryphal.]

Repl. You much discourage us in these great straits of time, to give us ⟨p. 101⟩such loose and troublesome Citations; you turn us to Ruffin. Apol. in gross; and tell us not which of the Councils of Tollet, among at least 13. you mean. But we find the words in Council 4. but that Provincial Spanish Council, was no meet judge of the Affairs of the universal Church, unto the universal Church: nor is it certain by their words, whether [quem] refer not to [Deum] rather than to [Hymnum] but if you so regard that Council, remember that Can. 9. it is but once a day that the Lord's Prayer is enjoined, against them that used it, but on the Lord's day only; and that Can. 17. it is implied, that it was said but once on that day. The Benedicite is somewhat more cautiously to be used, than humane Compositions, that profess to be but humane: when the Apocryphal Writings, are by the Papists pretended to be Canonical, and used so like the Canon in our Church, we have the more cause to desire, that a sufficient distinction be still made.
