The Answer to R.G. his Epistle prefixed before Mr. Iunius letters.
Such as have separated themselves / from the corrupt service of God / used in the public congregations and parishes of England being persecuted with afflictions reproaches and slanders both at home and in the land whe• now they live exiles: have ben constrained to publish to the world / the confession of their Christian faith / and causes of their departure from the foresaid English synagogues for clearing of the truth of God and witnesses of the same / both which were much and many ways calumniated. More specially they dedicated that little book to all Christian universities near about to be discussed / approved or reproved by the godly learned in them And sending one in particular to the hands of M.H. Junius, a man of great learning and godliness / dwelling near unto them to be by him and the rest of his brethren of the university at Leiden judged of they received from him a letter lately by one R.G. translated and printed in English whether with the authors consent or not is yet unknown: but the copy (as the publisher saith) was given out by the author himself / who might had done well to have given a copy of the answer likewise▪ or if he did / the translator hath not dealt indifferently to publish one and not an other. How ever it were / all men may see how just and necessary occasion those exiled Christians now have / to print their answer also which upon the receipt of his Letter they sent unto him / but hitherto have spared to give out any one copy either of his or theirs: whether for doubt of their own cause or reverend regard rather of that man / let the sequel declare / and let the discrete reader by it judge / whether party hath most advantage.
