The defense of the aunsvvere to the Admonition against the replie of T.C. By Iohn VVhitgift Doctor of Diuinitie. In the beginning are added these. 4. tables. 1 Of dangerous doctrines in the replie. 2 Of falsifications and vntruthes. 3 Of matters handled at large. 4 A table generall.

Ansvvere to the Admonition. Pag. 204. Sect. 1. &. 205. Sect. 1. 2.

This is a slaunderous vntruth. And the. 1. Cor. 14. abused to* 1.1 confirme it. Whatsoeuer S. Paule requireth in that place, is vsed in that booke of Seruice: for first the whole Seruice is in a tongue knowne (as S. Paule there requyreth) that the people may vnder∣stand & say Amen. Then are the Scriptures read▪ the Sacraments ministered according to Christes owne institution, those that bee Godly disposed persons know what a manifest vntruth this is that you here vtter.

But mad men, women and children, must haue their wordes. &c.

If by tossing of Psalmes, you meane the singing of them, alternatìm, then do you disallow that which is both commendable, and of great anti∣quitie, as it appeareth in an Epistle that Basilius Magnus, did wryte to the Ministers in Neocaesaria, where he sheweth the selfe same or∣der of singing Psalmes to be then vsed in the Church, that we vse at this day.

If by tossing of Psalmes like tennise balles, you meane the ouer hastie rea∣ding or singing of them, it is indeede to be misliked: but it is no part of the booke, and therefore no cause why you shoulde absteyne from subscribing to it.
