Sect. 67. E. B. Do not ramble and talk of Nature as it is Pure,1 when you should write about nature corrupted.
- 138. & 39. Untruths implied.38. & 39. Untruths implyed.
R. B. 1. Remember that it is not you but I that am the Respondent, and had the stating of the Question. Here therefore are two more falsehoods intimated, 1. That the question was only about Nature as corrupted. 2. That I spake of Nature as pure, and not as corrupted. For the question put by me was about Nature as Nature; and that men should not so speak against the corruption, as to dishonour Gods part, Nature as Nature, nor yet as it is corrupted, to make it worse than it is. So that I spake not of it as Pure; but I spake of it both abstractedly as Nature, and also as corrupt.
