Ans. Mendac. V. What can a Reader say of such Men, that shall find, 1. That I never wrote a word to justify his Death; but only once told the Papists that they were unmeet Accusers, as being guilty of more? 2. I preached against it. 3. I wrote against it, over and over. 4. It cost me the dear Labour and Sufferings of almost two years in the Army, to have kept them in Loyal Obedience. 4. I called them oft and long to Repentance. Whence then did this Man find matter or occasion for such a shameless forgery? As for the Notion of Martyrdom, I leave Canonizing to the Righteous Judge.
