Whether if this Repl. was faulty, was it reasonable to fly in the face of all Nonconformists? These men. Whether the Rej. his conscience in cold blood dare say, that their is not amongst the NonConformists, the truth of worthiness, but only the names? When in his preface he thus writes p. 3. some peaceable & very Worthy Ministers were cast out. Quaere 7. Whether they that cannot entertain truth cross to their opinion, & seek honour one from another, can have any truth of grace? our saviour seems to gainsay it 5. John.

And whether the Rej. would suffer us to make the like out of his words, when he calleth Conformists: the faithful servants of Christ, as he doth pag: 628. Quaere 11. Would not the Rej. make Nonconformitants monsters of men, who shall commit so capital a sin, as condemnation of men to Hell: & being void of law, calling, reason, conscience; in so doing? Where doth this Repl: condemn all that are not his party, or all conformed ministers? •ay if neither he, nor any ⟨image 27⟩[…] ⟨image 27⟩
