In the fourth Argument, he denieth nothing at all that I say, not conceiving or understanding mine Argument aright. I affirm any use of the Creature ⟨image 146⟩lawful, that it hath a natural power unto, so the same be kept free from superstition, impiety, injustice, and dishonesty. Which qualification he suppresseth, and so denieth the forepart.
