4. The Rejoynd. raiseth up a report, without showing from whom he received it, that Mr. Bradshaw reversed his own opinion of things indifferent. Which until it be some other way confirmed, then by an adversaries bare telling, and that in a humour of disgracing his person, it must be accounted a mere tale. But he had good reason to reverse his opinion (saith the Rejoinder) because against all reason and sense, he resolved that there is nothing indifferent.

Nay the harshest of these assertions, may be found not only in little Pamphlets made by Carpenters boys, against learning and sense, but in great volumes, written by those that go for very learned, and sensible in such matters as this is. Thomas Aquinas, in the great book, called his Sum, prima secundae, q. 18. ar. 9. hath this conclusion:
