And having said this, I am here in order to answer your objections: which yet you should not have expected from me, whilst so great a number of books are already written ⟨p. 57⟩which have done it: And why should you bid me write that again which is written already, unless you had confuted what is written? If you understand Latin, you may find a multitude of such seeming contradictions, reconciled, in Sharpius, Magrius, Althamer, Cumeranus, but most fully in abundance of Commentators: If you understood not Latin, you may read enough in Dr. Hammond, and many other Annotators and Commentaries, Mr. Cradock's Harmony, &c. And you may have enough that understand Latin to translate you the solutions (as out of Spanhemii Dub: Evangel. Grotius, Jansenius, Chemnitius, and such others.) And whereas you tell me that I invite men to go to some Minister for satisfaction, I do so: But if I had invited all men in England to seek to me, you may imagine how many of them I must fail, though they should never so much resolve to be Infidels and to perish unless I satisfy them.
