Also an answer to Mr. J. D.] As he did answer them, so he hath answered me also, that is, both alike untruly, unfitly, insufficiently: yet, with this difference, that upon me alone he hath spent more bitterness and gall, then upon them altogether; which the understanding Reader will easily apprehend to be an argument of his guilt and weakness to manage his cause, in those passages that concern me. For commonly, when reason and judgement is unable to help, then the passions grow tumultuous, and rise up disorderly, at least, to make a noise, with impotent clamours, as bores and peasants sometimes confusedly assemble, and, with hideous shoutings, think to affright the enemy, or to give others occasion to think they have the victory. But here I have a few questions to propound.
