CHAP. IV. My Reasons against a tedious needl•ss C•nfut•ti•n.
Sect. 1. THE chief thing that I intended next to be done, that is, To Confute the Hundred Errors before named; I am, on further thoughts, discouraged from performing: 1. Because, upon perusal, I find that I have already done it so oft and largely in many Books unanswered, that repetition is like to be disgracefully nauseous: 2.

Sect. 1. THE chief thing that I intended next to be done, that is, To Confute the Hundred Errors before named; I am, on further thoughts, discouraged from performing: 1. Because, upon perusal, I find that I have already done it so oft and largly in many Books unanswered, that repetition is like to be disgracefully nauseous: 2. And they that will neither answer nor read what I have written 34 years ago, or 20, are not like to read what I shall write now.
In my Confession of F•ith, Printed 1655. I have so largely opened this Controversy, about Justification, Faith, and Works, in necessary distinctions, and many score self-evident Propositions, and many score Arguments, and abundance of express Texts of Scripture, and above an hundred Testimonies of Protestant Churches Confessions, and eminent Divines, that I find very little needful to be added: And why should I think they will read more that will not read that?
