4. The fourth and notorious falsehood is, that I dare not look any truth in the face, that brings present danger with it: when himself saith, that I am in the same condemnation with them; which hath more truth in it in a full sense, than I will here open, lest I seem to dishonour my Governors. And though I confess that my Imprisonment was not so long and sharp as his, yet he can scarce be so ignorant as to imagine, that he loseth by his judgement, so much as I do by mine, quoad lucrum cessans, & damnum emergens. But his own Pen doth publish him temerariously false: while he publisheth me to have been formerly as earnest and open an asserter as any of this Opinion; and doth not cite one syllable whereby I ever did revoke it: And I here as openly declare to him and all the world, that I am still of the same mind that I was in that point, and I am still ready to express my mind in the same words of mine which he reciteth. And while I openly own the same words which he accounteth so dangerous, and pretendeth that they assert as much as any; judge whether he be a man to be believed, that saith I dare not look that truth in the face, which I openly own, or any other that brings present danger.
