Ans. I have perused the Book, but being now absent from it, cannot judge whether you have rightly epitomized or recited it, and therefore shall speak to it as yours, and not as his: Thanking you for endeavouring to spare my labour, but not for calling me to judge of other mens Writings. Only I must say, I am glad of so much Moderation as is in it; but I •etter understand many other Books of Justification; especially Mr. Truman, Sir Charles Wols•ey, Mr. Gibbons Sermon, Mr. Wotton, Mr. Gataker ▪ a Manuscript of Dr. Twisses (though I agree not with him in his exclusion of Christs Active Righteousness as justifying us,) Le Bl•nk, Placaeus, yea john Go•dwin, Mr. Hote•kis, and many others.
