§. 4. And by this I see, of how great importance it is in the world, not only what Doctrine is taught, and with what proof, but who speaketh it, and in what manner. For as I found the same things reverenced in Dr. Twice and Rutherford, which were not so in Alvarez, or Jansenius, or Thom. White; so I found the same Doctrine of Predetermining Necessitation almost commonly brought into greater dislike by Hobbes and Benedictus Spinosa's owning it, and applying it to its too obvious uses, than all 1argumentations had ever before brought it; And I see it as likely to recover its honour by the pious and florid dress put upon it by Mr. Sterry, as if some new demonstrations for it were found out.

§. 5. If I should recite Mr. Sterries mind in his own Metaphors, the Reader may not understand it; If I Epitomize him and change his words, some may say that I misunderstand and wrong him: But I will not do it willingly; and if I do it necessarily, his stile is my excuse. He that would be seen must come into the light.
