Is it so great a fault to suspect the Def. of some wrong-doing, or of using Rhetoric, without any moment, in variation of phrases? To do some wrong unto an adversary in propounding his allegations after another manner than he meant, is so ordinary, that the suspicion of it, and that with exception, cannot be accounted so heinous a crime as those toothed terms import. Prejudice is as common fault, and all prejudice is some way perverse. The Rej. after p. 461. accuseth all those of averseness, by distraction, stupidity or prejudice, which do not feel that organical music work much upon their affections (in and to Gods worship) though he knoweth as good men as our adversaries deny it. Yet he would not have us, nor will we, from thence gather, what spirit he is of. Rhetoric is no more an ill word, then Grammar, or Logic. Idle is nothing but without use: and so the Rej. himself confesseth the Def. his variations to be, in making judgements and confessions all one. Neither could he find what to say against the former suspicion, without feigning a new objection, which the Repl. maketh not, of equalling Divine and humane authority. The only fault was, that such ⟨p. 6⟩things which might be well spoken to another, were spoken to a Bishop.
