R. I have the greater hopes of you, because you have so much regard of your soul, as to be willing to hear what can be said. For most that turn to them, never come to an impartial trial, but rashly follow the deceiver, or stay till they are secretly hardened by false insinuations, and then take on them to desire to hear both, when they are first resolved to be gone. But you must tell me what is the question that you desire should be disputed.
R. I have the greater hopes of you, because you have so much regard of your soul, as to be willing to hear what can be said. For most that turn to them, never come to an impartial tryal, but rashly follow the deceiver, or stay till they are secretly hardened by false insinuations, and then take on them to desire to hear both, when they are first resolved to be gone. But you must tell me what is the question that you desire should be disputed.
D. I would know whether the Papists or the Protestants be the True, and safe Religion?
R. I undertake to give you that plain undeniable evidence for your resolution, which should fully satisfy any reasonable man, at least that professeth himself a Christian: so be it you will perform these reasonable conditions: 1. That you will be impartially willing to know the truth. 2. That you will honestly resolve to Live according to it when you know it, and to be True to the True Religion. 3. That you will bring such a man to confer with me, who will yield to the Reasonable Conditions of a disputant, such as your Doubt and the nature of the matter doth notoriously require, and not a Knave, ⟨p. 6⟩and studied Deceiver, who will set himself purposely to hide the truth.
