Answ. 1. Still such untruths? Do you know what most Protestants think that hear them? and every one of my Nonconforming brethren? Why some of the wisest of them that I know did read them over, and approved them before they were printed? Others (many and many) of the most judicious also of my acquaintance have since professed their consent: Nay more; I remember not one Minister that hath made me know by word or writing to me that he dissenteth from any one of all these heinous things. I remember that once some objected what they heard others say (not as consenting to the opposers) and acquiesced in my answers, or rather in the words of the book perused. So that if every one of my Nonconforming brethren be offended, and I known not of one, nor any one of them would ever vouchsafe a word or line to ⟨p. 295⟩convince me, you censure them for woeful dissemblers or uncharitable. But I believe them of themselves rather than you.
