§ 7. As to his note out of Mr. Jo. Humpheries book, disclaiming Cruelty to Papists, its known Mr. Humphrey is a man of latitude and universal Charity, and tieth himself to no party or any mens opinions: He openly professeth his hope of the Salvation of many Heathens, and I so little fear the noise of the censorious, that even now while the Plot doth render them most odious, I freely say. 1. That I would have Papists used like men, and ⟨p. 20⟩no worse than our own defence requireth: 2, That I would have no man pat to death for being a Priest: 3. That I would have no writ de excommunicato capiendo, or any Law compel them to our Communion and Sacraments. For I would not give it them (if I knew them) if they came.

§ 8. As to his Accusation of my first Plea for Peace, he hath it after, and it is after answered. And as to his Accusation of my book for Concord, I answer. 1. Is it no Ministers work, in a contending world, to tell and prove what are Christs ordained terms of Christian Concord, but his that is [Christs plenipotentiary on Earth, and were to set the terms of Peace and War] Is this spoken like a peace maker and a Divine? Doth not he pretend also in his way to declare the terms of Concord?
