Pag. 17. My Pleas for Peace have been all ill taken by the other side: And which of you therefore were so offended at them.
2. I am sorry that you feign the healing Parliament to have disowned our Repentance: I preached to the Parliament but once, and it was for Repentance: I have oft publicly accused my self; and I hope I break not the Act of Oblivion by it: They forbade reproaching, and troubling one another, but not remembering our sin, nor feeling when we suffer, nor asking what caused it, to stop the like again, if not for a cu•e. But, dear Brother, do you not know that it was your divulged Writing that rubbed upon the sort, and broke the Act of Oblivion, if this be breaking it? Did it not tell what work the imposing the Liturgy had made, against [Reformation▪ for Ignorance, Reviling, and Reproaching the Spirit sit up ungifted Ministers, made great desolations in the Church, silencing painful Ministers, ruining Families, destroying Souls &c.] Do you think this broke the Act of Oblivion, or is condemned by the healing Parliament, or doth nothing break it but on one side. Look on both sides, and tell me how such Arguments misused, should be answered, but by showing that there was danger, and ill effects also on the contrary extreme. Did the Parliament forbid one side only this Commemoration? I pray you if but one side may be called to Repent, let it be us, that we may be forgiven.
