§ 2. The Preface of his Book called Unreasonableness, &c. Is so much answered already by Mr. Lob, that I will not lose time by doing much to the same again: And there is a posthumous book of Dr. Worsley's called, ⟨p. 12⟩The third part of naked Truth, which hath strenuously handled the same chief matter for Scripture Sufficiency against unnecessary Impositions. It being supposed, though not there expressed. 1. That he speaketh not against the guiding determination of undetermined accidents which must be determined one way or other: As Time, Place, Utensils, Translation words, Metres tunes, &c. 2. And that a man that intolerably breaks Gods Laws (by Blasphemy, Treason, Murder, Fornication, &c.) is not to be tolerated because he erroneously thinks he keepeth them.

§ 3. His sad saying [that there is no improbability that the Jesuits should be the first setters up of the way in England which he calls the Doctrine [of Spiritual Prayer] Mr. Lob hath opened, as it deserveth, in part; but to say all that it deserveth would seem so harsh, that I have reason to think that it would but more offend than profit him.
