IN this Section the Complainants show themselves aggrieved for his pulpiting against me, in a reproachful, upbraiding manner, about the point in question. Which they aggravate. 1. By his not satisfying their expectation. 2. By my professed disagreement with the Anabaptists, and Brownists in this point, with whom, he nevertheless injuriously joined me. 3. By his sinister intent in thus falsely traducing me, viz, to justify his keeping me out of the Church. 4. By the injury done to the Church hereby, in that they are deprived of me, whom they much desired, and bewail their want of me. Lastly they show the equity of their complaining against the Answerer for this, by his labouring to work the Ministers of the Classis to further his purpose, telling them, that to tolerate me, in a different practise, would be a condemning of their own practise, and that therefore, if they would give way to me, they must make an order to condemn their own practise, or to that effect, This is their complaint. Let us now consider his answer.
