In his preface, there is not much that expects answer. For to omit his biting language, & devouring words, where with we have cloyed the Reader in the foregoing Catalogue, and unto which rank many Gibes here may be referred: as That pag. 5. These do commonly call any small company of their party: ⟨image 37⟩The Church & the Christians of such a town. As if Christ were (I say not divided amongst us) but wholly taken away from us, to them, & what wants this of Schism in the heart, And that: pa. 9. The glory of suffering for (as they call it) the good cause: And that pa. 12. Others aim at Schism & Anabaptisticall delusions: to let pass these pangs of spleen, & other distempered carriages, which he himself cast upon some passionate people & Strongly conceited. All which being justly blamed, it neither hurts the cause against which he writes, nor helps that which he defends, since the most glorious Gospel of Christ hath such blots cast upon it, by reason of the sinful weaknesses of some, who take up the profession thereof; Leaving (I say) all these, as not worthy the consideration, we shall entreat the Rej. at his return to give some satisfaction to these queries.
