Answ. I said [Mr. Browne and others were her Instructors, who were very zealous for the way called the fifth Monarchy, and having instructed her in those opinions, &c. If I did mistake here I recant my error; But I will tell you my grounds. 1. That the others were of that opinion as they deny not, so I have heard no others deny. 2. At the publishing of that Book, same spake the same of Mr. Browne and of his companion. 3. The Book doth plead for that opinion. 4. His Epistle is before the Book as a Publishing applause of it. 5.

But if he took it up between the Action, and the publication of the Book, on what day or week, it is none of my business to declare: He better knoweth those himself.

[6. That I imposed abstinence upon my self as to meat (when I would gladly have eaten but durst not,¹ because I apprehended I had no right to the Creature being out of Christ) This is all false and untrue; and I am astonished that Mr. Baxter should with so much confidence affirm these things.]
