REPLY.

YOur silence, in not answering that which we affirmed, concerning the judgement of Divines, ancient and mo∣derne, of the reformed Church, anent the lawfulnesse of the rites and ordinances, which were received in our Church, by the ordinance of the assembly of Pearth; as also concerning the judgement and practise of the ancient Church; doth make us think, that ye acknowledge the truth of that which we affirmed there. 2. VVe have already shown, That the oath which ye require of us, importeth more than the forbearance of the practice of Pearth articles, for a time. 3. The forbearance of some of them, seemeth to us, to be meerly unlawfull, and contrary to that pastorall duty we owe to our flock. 4. The forbearance of any of them, considered with a relation to the authority enjoyning them, in our judgement, is plain disobedience.
