Ye•, in his Doctrinal writings in his later Years, he is much clearer than heretofore: And even, that Book of Communion with the Trinity, (which he writeth against whom I here deal with in the beginning▪) is an excellent Treatise: And his great Volumes on the Hebrews, do all show his great and eminent Parts: it was his strange Error, if he thought that freedom from a Liturgy, would have made most or many Ministers, like himself, as free▪ and fluent, and copious of Expression. In the late time he had never been so long Dean of Christ-Church, so oft Vice chancellor of […]; so highly esteemed in the Army, and with the Persons then in Power, if his extraordinary Parts had not been known.

But, Reader, if this excellent man had one mistake (against all Liturgies, and for Separation from them) when yet he was of late years of more complying mildness, and sweetness, and peaceableness, than ever before, or than many others; and if you will use his Name and Authority for this one Error, Let me tell you, I am confident you will wrong Dr. O. by ignorant defending him: I doubt not but his Soul is now with Christ; and that tho Heaven have no Sorrow, it hath great Repentance: and that Dr. O. is ow more against the receiving of this his mistake, than I am: and by deending it, you far more displease him than me: There is there no Darkness, no Mistakes, no Separation of Christs Members from one another; no excommunicating or renouncing of Communion: They all repent that ever they did any thing against Christian Love and Unity, and received not one another as Christ receiveth us, and did not own Communion in all that was good, while they avoided the wilful consent to evil.
