The order is a recent one, and was instituted by Saint Francis of Sales while Beza ruled in Geneva and the Reformation had just disturbed the religious balance of Europe. With consummate prudence the new order was directed to employ the means best understood by the age.
Sect. 7. 7th. I will now apply this argument, taken from superstition, particularly to holidays. Superstitiosum esse docemus, saith Beza, arbitrari unum aliquem diem altero sanctiorem. This is but falsely pretended, for as Didoclavius observeth, aliud est deputare, aliud dedicare, aliud sanctificare.
Another ingredient, unicorns' horns, which were ground and used in powders, must have been difficult to obtain in New England, although I believe Governor Winthrop had one sent to him as a gift from England; and John Endicott, writing to him in 1634, said: "I have sent you Mrs Beggarly her Vnicorns horne & beza stone."
J. Rainolds rejecteth the popish ceremonies, partly because they are Jewish, and partly because they are heathenish. The same argument Beza useth against them. In the second command, as Zanchius expoundeth it, we are forbidden to borrow anything, ex ritibus idololatrarum Gentium.
For the Jews by their sacrifices mutuam in una eademque religione copulationem sanciunt, saith Beza.

But he had taken Orders by the Presbytery in Antwerp, and with them some opinions, that could never be eradicated, and if in anything he was transported, it was in an extreme desire to set up that government in this nation; for the promoting of which he had a correspondence with Theodore Beza at Geneva, and others in Scotland; and was one of the chiefest assistants to Mr.
But Calvin and Beza and Knox's friends in the French Protestant Church generally had held to the stronger view of the magistrate's duty, even amid all his persecutions of them; and Knox's passionate indignation against idolatry had led him, even in his early English career, to maintain the duty not only of the magistrate, but even of the subject in so far as he had power, to punish it with death.
Although, perhaps," he added, stopping short in his quotation, "your new faith forbids you to reserve a place in your memory, even for what high poets have recorded of loyal faith and generous sentiment." "The faith of Buchanan," replied the preacher, "the faith of Buchanan and of Beza, cannot be unfriendly to literature.
