§ 162. 7. Also I published my Apology against divers that had printed Books against many things which I had written. It consisteth of five parts: 1. An Answer to Mr. Blake. 2. An Answer to Dr. Kendall. 3. A Confutation of Ludiom• us Colvinus. 4. An Answer to Mr. Crandon. 5. An Answer to Mr. Eyres.
The first, Mr. Blake, a reverend worthy Man of my acquaintance, in a Treatise of the Covenants had written much, I thought mistakingly against me; and though I replied without any sharpness, it was very displeasing to him.

Dr. Kendall was little quick Spirited Man, of great Ostentation and a Considerable Orator and Scholar: He was driven on farther by others than his own Inclination would have led him: He thought to get an Advantage for his Reputation, by a Triumph over John Goodwin and me; for those that set him on work would needs have him conjoin us both together, to intimate that I was an Arminian; while I was replying to his first Assault, he wrote a second; and when I had begun a Reply to that, meeting me at London, he was so earnest to take up the Controversy, engaging Mr. Vines to persuade me that Bishop Usher might determine it, and I was so willing to be eased of such work, and to end any thing which might be made a Temptation against Charity, that I quickly yielded to Bishop Ushers Arbitriment, who owned my Judgment about Universal Redemption, Perseverance, &c. but desired us to write against each other no more; and so my Second Reply was supperest.
