Now the cause which they maintained was not inconveniency: but unlawfulness in these things. If the Rej. his memory serve him not about this particular, let him repair to Banbury side to his ancient friends there, & they can testify so much to his face. If then the construction that the King, & state, made of his course, the apprehension his fellow Brethren had of his practise: nay his own profession may be trusted: Let all the world, & Dr. Burgess his own heart judge, whether he hath changed his opinion yea, or no?
