Jeremy Taylor against the Ritualists (ii)

Let no Minister of a Parish introduce any Ceremony, Rites or Gestures, though with some seeming Piety and Devotion, but what are commanded by the Church, and established by Law: and let these also be wisely and usefully explicated to the people, that they may understand the reasons and measures of obedience; but let there be no more introduc'd, lest the people be burdened unnecessarily, and tempted or divided.

From Jeremy Taylor's 'Rules and Advices to the Clergy of the Diocese of Down and Connor'.
