When I did but privately desire of Cl. Writer that he would acquaint me with that truth that he thought me ignorant of, and that we might privately and lovingly consider how far we were agreed, and where we differed, that we might debate the case, and try who was in the right, he resolutely denied to have any debate with me, or to open any of his judgement, but pag. 46. reproacheth this very motion, as proceeding from [my aims of a monstrous shape and ugly looks] so monstrous a thing doth it appear to these deceiving Jugglers, to tell men what Religion they are of, and would have us to receive, when they will freely reproach the Religion which we profess.

4. And you may strongly conjecture at the quality of these Jugglers, by their constant opposition against the Ministry. It is Ministers that are their eye-fore; the hinderers of their Kingdom: Could they but get down these, the work were done, the day were their own: And therefore their main business, whatever visor they put on, is to bring the people into a dislike or contempt of the Ministry. If they seem Quakers, they will rail at them: If they seem Seekers, they will dispute against their calling: If they seem the gentlest Behmenists, they have their girds at them, to acquaint the world that they are misguided by them. But at first, they will not let you know which is the true Ministry, if ours be not; or which is the true Church, if ours be not: Here they leave you.
