That it is (as the former) so full of false Allegations set off with the greatest Audacity (even a few Lines of my own about our meeting at Saint James's left with the Clerk, grossly falsified) and former falsifications partly justified, and partly past over, and his most passionate Charges grounded ⟨p. 74⟩upon Mistakes, and managed by Misreports, sometime of Words, sometime of the Sense, and sometime of Matters of Fact; in short, it is such a bundle of Mistake, Fierceness and Confidence, that I take it for too useless and unpleasant a Work to give the World a particular Detection of these Evils. If I had so little to do with my Time as to write it, I suppose that few would find leisure to read it: And I desire no more of the willing Reader, then seriously to peruse my Book (More Reasons for Infants Church-membership) with his, and to examine the Authors about whose Words or Sense we differ. Or if any would be Informed at a cheaper rate, he may read Mr. Barret's Fifty Queries in two sheets. And if Mr. Tombs revile me, for not transcribing or answering more of his Great Book, when I tell the Reader that I suppose him to have the Book before him, and am not bound to transcribe such a Volume already in Print, and that I answer as much as I think needs an Answer, leaving the rest as I found it to the Judgment of each Reader, he may himself take this for a Reply; but I must judg of it as it is.
