Howsoever by the grounds of the Nonconformists laid down in the second section, Sect. 3 1separation must necessarily follow from all communion with them in the worship of their Church-service-book, yet to have the point more fully proved, I will here show that every particular thereof, is affirmed of themselves to be idolatrous, false, Antichristian. Touching the Book we may consider two things: First, The distinct services thereof: Secondly, The Ceremonies used in and about the same. We will speak first of their Ceremonies, that is, of the Cross, Surplice, and Kneeling in the act of receiving ⟨p. 20⟩the Lords Supper: Against these many Treatises have been purposely written; I will here only observe some of their speeches, referring the Reader to their Books, if he desire more satisfaction, &c.
