The* 1.1 firste is ab eo quod est secundum quid, ad id quod simpliciter est, as such and such things were not in the Apostles time, Ergo, they ought not to be nowe. Which kind of argument is very deceitfull, and the mo∣ther and welspring of many both old and new schismes: of old, as of them that called themselues Apostolicos, and of the Aërians: of new, as of the Anabaptists, who cōsidering neither the diuersitie of times concerning the externall ecclesiasticall policie, nor the true libertie of the Christian religion in externe rites and ceremonies, in matters neither commaunded, nor forbidden in Gods Law, nor the authori∣tie of Christian magistrates in the Christian congregation, concer∣ning the same, haue boldly enterprised to stirre vp many and heinous errours: For if these reasons should take place: the Apostles vsed it not, Ergo it is not lawfull for vs to vse it: or this either: they did it, Ergo we must needes do it: then no Christians may haue any place to abide in, they may haue no Christian Princes: no ministration of sacraments in Churches and such like: for the Apostles had no place to abide in, they had no Christiā Princes to gouerne them, no Chur∣ches to minister sacraments in. &c. Likewise we must haue al things* 1.2 common: we must depart with all our possessions when we be con∣uerted* 1.3 to the Gospel: baptise abroade in the fields: minister the com∣muniō* 1.4 in priuate houses only: be always vnder the crosse and vnder* 1.5
