Reply. You much discourage us in these great straits of time to give us such loose and troublesome citations; you turn us to Ruffin Apol. in gross, and tell us not which of the Councils of Tolet (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) ⟨p. 121⟩refer not to (eadem) rather than to (Hymnum): but if you so regard that Council, remember that Can. 9. it is but once a day that the Lords prayer is in joined, against them that used it on the Lords 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 that are by the Papists 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.
