SECT. XIIII.
TO the testimonie of Tertullian de Cor. c. 2. That is prohibi∣ted which is not permitted, two things are likewise answered, 1. that it maketh not against our ceremonies, for they are permit∣ted: vvhich is nothing else but a meere shift. For Tertullians meaning must needs bee of other permission then the Defendant can chalenge to our ceremonies, though he begg the question: o∣therwise there should be no sence in his words. 2. he sayth, Wee may blush to speak of Tertullian in this case: because hee professeth tra∣ditions in the same booke. To which I answer: that then all our wri∣ters may blush vvho alledge many things out of the fathers which they in other places gainesay. 2. Wee blush not to make vse of truth where we finde it, though error follow it at the heeles; ra∣ther let our Idolizers of the Fathers blush, vvhen they see their shame. Yet of this answer wee shall haue occasion to make use hereafter.
