Modern spelling is a reading aid: the words are the author’s, only the spelling is modernized. Original shows the page as printed, with the transcription marks.
I have said oft, and long ago, that I cannot be so hardened against God's miraculous Judgments in New-England, on Mrs. Hutchison and Mrs. Dyer, and the Case of their Governor, and Mr. Wheeler, recited by Mr. Weld, in his Book, called, The Rise and Fall of Antinomianism in New-England, as to despise those with the Scripture, to bear Satan seeming an Angel of Light or Righteousness. I once more counsel them that are prejudiced against my Writings, to read Mr. Bradshaw (an Independent) of Justification, Mr. Truman's Grand Propitiation, Ant. Watton de Reconciliatione, Mr. Gataker against Saltmarsh, and on Lucius and Piscator. Ben. Woodbridge (the first Graduate of the New-England College,) Mr. Thomas Warren, Mr. Hotchkins, Mr. Gibbons of Black-Fryers, his Lecture at Giles, Placeus in Thes. Salmuriens. Testardus, Codurcus; but above all, Vinc. le Blanks Theses; and the Bremen Divines, S. Charles Wolsley of Justification, and the foresaid Book of Mr. Weld a New-England Congregational-man: The Subject of which, I suppose two or three of the Twelve Epistlers (the two Mr. Mathers, if not Mr. Chancy also) will give you a truer Account of, than Dr. ⟨image 80⟩Stubs (a man miserable in life and death) did do.
