- 18th Falsehood.
R. B. This is another gross falsehood: 1. It is spoken of my heart, which he knoweth not. 2. It is twice contradicted by his own Pen. 1. He even now said, that I will not be beholden to an Act of Indemnity, and yet now he makes the hope of Pardon received to embolden me. 2. He rebuketh me for the less seasonable Retractation, of that which now he saith, not only that I hoped it was forgotten, but that nothing but that hope could embolden me, &c. Why did I Retract that which I thought forgotten? Could I think that Book forgotten which remaineth visible? which so many Books accuse me of? and one which he mentioneth and wrote against himself? and which so many have publicly preached against, both formerly and of late? Could I think that part of my life forgotten, which all in the City of Coventry, who thirty years ago were at years of discretion, may remember?
