Reconcil. You are historically mistaken: Dr. Crispe was a Conformist himself; and so have been many hundreds, who have held some of the forementioned mistakes. Have you read Luther on the Galatians? And Aepinus, and Gallus, and Am•s••rphi•s, and S•hlusseloergius, and abundance such Lutherans, who damn George Major for saying, That Good works are necessary to Salvation, and that maintained, that they were hurtful to Salvation (tho' no doubt they meant, that confidence in them was hurtful). Have you read Islebius, that turned from Antinomianism to be a Papist Bishop, and helped to rectify Luther's Phrase, by calling him to oppose him? Have you read Learned Beza himself, and many, and many such excellent men, both Calvinists and Lutherans, of imputed Righteousness, and against Imputing Faith for Righteousness, and of the definition of Faith? Till Camero, Pla•eus, Amyraldas, Capellus, Testardus, Codurcus, Bloudel, Dallaeus, Drelincourt stopped them; and before them Melanchthon, Bucer, and after Cargius, Olevian, Ursine, Parcus, Scultenus, ⟨p. 47⟩Wendeline, Ludovicus Crocius, Conradus Bergius, Johannes Bergius, Martinius, and such other great Divines stopped them in Germany: How many speak indefensibly? How many Bishops and Conformists in England, have held, and written unjustifiable words about Justification? Was Dr. Tully a Non-conformist? No, nor Mr. Ro•orough, Mr. Walker, and many such, before the Assemblies times.
Though Dr. Gel, Mr. Thorndike, and many such did ill, in inveighing against imputed Righteousness, in undistinguishing words; yet too many by a very ill sense and sort of it, gave them too much occasion; which put so many Learned, Judicious Divines to explain it, of whom in England the chief were Ant. Wotton, Mr. William Bradshaw, Mr. Tho. Gataker, Bishop Davenant, Bishop Robert Abbot, Mr. William Fenner, and other Zealous Converting Preachers; such as Jo•n Rogers, Tho. Hooker, Tho. Shepherd, and the New-England Churches against Mrs. Hutchinson, and Mr Wheeler, that by Mr. Weld published the Narrative •f the Antinomian Errors; and of the strange Monsters from Mrs. Dyer, and Mrs. Hutchinson, and her death; and of late, Mr. Benj. Woodbridge, Mr. Tho. Hot•hkis, Mr. Tho. Warren, Mr. Grail, Mr. Jessop; but especially Mr. Truman, Mr. Gibbons of Blackfriars, and Dr. Stilling fleet.
