owsoeuer theis men do beautifully set furth and adorn theise thinges / yet shall they neuer bringe this to passe / that the goddly will beleaue that it is lawful for them to communicate with supersticions / and such institucions as are forbidden of God: Neither will the godly beleaue but that theis thinges are forbidden / except the papistes shall proue by playne testimonies of the scripture that they are so instituted of Godd as they do vse them. Which thinge when it can not be proued of them / nor yet at all of ony other of the papistes / sum of our false gospellers do turn them selues hither / that they saye that Paule also did vse forbidden ceremonies / [[Paul circumcised Timothee.]] and that the prophetes of Godd did reproue the sacrifices / which they neuertheles did partake without synne. And if we do graunte them this altogether / how can they (I praye yow) helpe or sett furth their cause? We reade that Paule vsed ceremonies instituted of Godd / circumcision and sacrifices / but theis men do contend for ceremonies instituted by men.

[[Hovv the prophetes reproued Sacrifices and vver also partakers of them.]] We do saye that ther were two sortes of the Sacrifices among the old poeple of Israel. Sum of them are redd to be instituted of Godd / which the poeple sum tyme abused / or els did not vse them with true faithe / which thing the prophetes did reproue / and not the Sacrifices themselues / of which they did partake religiusly and without synne: Euen as we reade that Paule did worthely partake the supper of the lorde / although he doth reproue the abuse of the supper in the Corinthinians. Other sacrifices ther were enuented by man / such were the sacrifices of Baal / and of Ieroboam / and thos which were done in the hilles. Theis truly the proph
