11. What means is there left in the world to exempt a man from the malignant calumnies of this Judge of the Churches? When in one sentence he telleth you, how much I have written against the Bishops, and in another that I am in the same condemnation with him, and yet in another, that I dare look no truth in the face, that bringeth suffering; when he talks of one point that all Christians are agreed in, and directly bringeth none. And when he chargeth me with Atheistical arguing against the divine and self-evidencing authority of the Scripture, and therefore to be Rejected of all, as one of the worst sort of Heretics, that under the notion of being a Christian and a Protestant, doth with his utmost ⟨p. 16⟩industry and cunning, labour to overthrow our foundation.] When I know of no one man living in this Age, that hath written so much (I say not, so well) for the things in question (Scripture and Christianity) as I have done. May not this man as modestly charge Bishop Downame to be a Papist, that hath written so much to prove the Pope to be Antichrist? or say any thing else that he hath list to say?
