And you that know which of my Books is the most Elaborate, sure know, that in that Book which I Wrote to explain those Aphorisms (called my Confession) I cite the Words of above an Hundred Protestant Witnesses, that give as much to Works as I do: And that of this Hundred, one is the Augustine Confession, one the Westminster Synod, one the Synod of Dort, one the Church of England, each one of which being Collectives, contain many. (And here I tell you of more). And have you brought more Witnesses? Or any to the contrary? Did you Confute, or once take Notice of any of these? 4.

V. Pag. 11. Where you tell me, that [You have no Profit by my Preface: I shall not deny it, nor wonder at it; you are the fittest Judge: Where you say, that [I have no Credit,] You do but tell the World at what Rates you write. Honour est in honorante.
