Further, They have made many.
There's no stop (that's the Note) in superstitious Worship,*if men leave the rule they know not where to stay: hence is the multiplying of things thus among the Papists, five hun∣dred Altars in some one Temple.* And Austin in his 19th Epistle complains of the multitude of Ceremonies that were in the Church in his time. What complaints would he have now? All things in the Church were full of pre∣sumptions, they did multiply one thing after another; and indeed let but the right way once be left and there's no limits. Oh let us take heed how we multiply in Gods Worship; there's much controversie between the Papists and us, about multiplying in the Worship of God.
We would have but one MEDIATOR,* they would have many; We would have but one rule of Faith, but they will give power to Pope, and Church to make Ar∣ticles of faith; we would have but one object of Worship, they would have many; we would have but one Sacri∣fice, they would have many Oblations for the quick and dead; we would have but one Satisfaction, they would have many; we would have but one Merit, they would Page 79 have many: And thus by multiplying, the unity of the Church is divided: but we must keep to the unity that we find in the Scriptures.
