A Yes. 1 Pet, 3, 21, &c.

In all this good Reader observe, this absurd doctrine from this Antinomian way of Mr. Beacon, for •he raiseth the old heresy of a sectary whom Calvin in a treatise called Confutatio Hollandi, refuteth, who said it was lawful to bow to Id••ls, because Christ violated the Sabbath, and because Christ hath perfectly fulfilled the Law, and restored us to spiritual liberty, ⟨p. 62⟩he hath freed us from all external observance of the law, either ceremonies, or any other thing, if we love God, and our neighbour, we are now in Christ made spiritual, and are to seek the things that are above, and that Christ calls us from all externals, ceremonies even of the Lords Institution, baptism, the Lords Supper, hearing, reading, and he spake in the Grammar of M. Beacon nos de umbra a asini et de inani atque infantili naenja certare cultum d•i nihil amplius esse atque ejus neque legem neque normam habendam. So is Del against all externals and outward reformation, and for the heart reformation only. And Calvin, in his treatise called excusatio ad Psedonic. an Apology to the false disciples of Nicodemus, refutes them who thought they might go to Mass, worship an Idol, so they keep their heart to God, and this they did to get into rich benefices, to be Bishops, Priors,, and the like, being taken with the wares of the whore of Rome, for Calvin beside the example of Paul Act. 17. whose Spirit was stirred at the Idolatrous Alter at Athens, brings the Testimony of 1 Melanchthon who saith, Nec tantum interior cultus nec•ssarius est, sedetiam externa significatio, seu confessio, seu professio, Mat. 10 qui negav•r•t me coram hominibus, negabo eum coram patre coelesti, so Mar. Bucerus, Peter Martyr, and Calvin condemn the same external observance of popish superstition, Calvin excusatio ad Pseu. Nicode. pag. 521, 522.
