36. The History of our Faults and Confusions is published over and over by Adversaries; and it's impossible to conceal it. The Booksellers Shops, and their Talk and Sermons, abound with it. If a deaf man hear not this, must it not therefore be spoken? And when the generality of the innocent are falsely accused, it is the fittest season to confute the Accusers.

37. It cost me dear to attempt the preventing of such Confusions▪ Almost Two years Travel in that Army, in heat and cold, whither I went for no other end: It cost me the ruin of my Health, and after the wilful dissolution of all Power and Order, cast me into those Groans and Tears which I can never on Earth forget. And must I not after all that, disown the things which I opposed at so dear a rate?
