IN this Section the Answerer doth, in his policy, so express the ways of accommodation propounded by others, as may best conduce to the justifying of his way, and to the reflecting of some suspicion of obstinacy upon me, for not yielding thereunto, but how truly let the Reader judge, upon the examination of particulars.

Ans. First, He intimateth that Mr. Pots had long joined with him, in that order of administration of Baptism, which he required me to observe.] Reply. Ans: Mr. Pot was a man unknown to me, in his life time. Since his death, some things which are reported of him, and, of his sufferings in that place (both by Dutch and English, by whom he was generally beloved and pitied) do give me much assurance of his faithfulness. How this good man approved of their manner of baptising (in the case now questioned) appeareth by his own expressions to some members of that Church, who are yet alive, to whom he declared that he accounted it a grievance, and that he had a purpose to seek redress of it, at the Synod. Whether he did so, or not, the Answerer knoweth best, and with what success. But this showeth, with what affection this good man joined with him therein, and how far he was from approving this custom.
