EXCEPT. II. ib. There is daily much¹ greater profaneness, and the Consequent of profaneness, Immorality, acted by those (4) whom yet Mr. Baxter never mentioneth but with honour; As if no sins or miscarriages were to be blamed but theirs, who are unable to defend themselves.

Answ. 1. IF this were true, I were much too blame, it being the very usage of others against my self, which I have great reason to complain of.

2. But if it was possible for you to believe your own words, that I never mention them but with honour, I shall think that there are few things that you may not possibly believe. Reader, if thou peruse the book, and ⟨p. 18⟩yet believe this Author, I am not capable of satisfying thee in this, nor will I undertake¹ it in any thing else. Are these terms of honour Pref. p. 18. [How long Lord must thy Church and Cause be in the hands of unexperienced furious fools▪ &c.] Do I honour them when I so much display their sin? And when in the scheme in the conclusion I describe it? And when I tell you of many of such Ministers, and that it is a duty to separate from them, or disown them. And when in the history of Martin, I tell you how near it I am my self, as to such as Martin separated from? And when I cite Gildas, calling such no Ministers, but enemies and traitors, &c. Were you not very rash in this?
