§ 1. About the use of the Apocrypha, you quite mistook the Question: It was not chiefly whether you may use or read it, but whether you may approve and consent to the Calendar and Rubric which imposeth it, to be read; yea, those Books of Tobit, Judith, Bell and the Dragon, &c. If you say that you Consent not to the Calendar and Rubric, I ask, 1. Is it not contained in the Book? 2. Is it of no use, when the use is named in the Preface? Cannot we thus say any thing required, and mean what we list by it? Teach not the Papists to take the imposed Test and Oaths at such a rate as this.

§ 2. You say, It is not on Lords Days. Answ. On the Week Days God must be Worshipped purely, and according to his Will.
§ 3. You say, It's more than you can prove that any thing is false. Why did you not answer the two Instances which I gave out of the Bishop of Lincoln's excellent Manuscript? And how much may you find in Dr. Jo. Reynolds, and many other Protestants against the Papists?
