3. Upon occasion of that scorn which was cast on the authors of this argument, viz. that this learning never saw print before, as the Def. thinketh, Mr. Bradshaw was named, as a man not to be slighted for his learning, who had long since put in print, without receiving any printed answer, unto it, or the book wherein it was contained. To this diverse things are rejoined, not worthy any answer, but that they tend to the disgrace of a ⟨image 230⟩godly learned man, whose memory is worthy of all honour. 1. Mr. Bradshaw is ranked among discontented persons. Which imputation if it be understood of discontentment for want of preferment, or great living, could hardly have lighted upon any man in England, whose course and conversation would more beat it off then Mr. Bradshaws did, in the consciences of all indifferent men that knew him.

2. His tracts of indifferency, and worship are styled little Pamphlets, such as do creep in the dark, and are hard to be seen of men that walked by day light. This is (up and down) the language of great prelates, when Goliath-like, they confute their adversaries with scorning of their little stature, and ignoble state. But the Def. or Rejoinder might have put that little pamphlet into the belly of a whale, by setting it forth with a large confutation, in folio, and so also have helped it from creeping, to some kind of riding on horseback.
