Planelogia, a succinct and seasonable discourse of the occasions, causes, nature, rise, growth, and remedies of mental errors written some months since, and now made public, both for the healing and prevention of the sins and calamities which have broken in this way upon the churches of Christ, to the great scandal of religion, hardening of the wicked, and obstruction of Reformation : whereunto are subjoined by way of appendix : I. Vindiciarum vindex, being a succinct, but full answer to Mr. Philip Cary's weak and impertinent exceptions to my Vindiciæ legis & fæderis, II. a synopsis of ancient and modern Antinomian errors, with scriptural arguments and reasons against them, III. a sermon composed for the preventing and healing of rents and divisions in the churches of Christ / by John Flavell ... ; with an epistle by several divines, relating to Dr. Crisp's works.Planelogia, a succinct and seasonable discourse of the occasions, causes, nature, rise, growth, and remedies of mental errors written some months since, and now made publick, both for the healing and prevention of the sins and calamities which have broken in this way upon the churches of Christ, to the great scandal of religion, hardening of the wicked, and obstruction of Reformation : whereunto are subjoined by way of appendix : I.

I have throughly considered your Reply in the Manuscript you sent me, which I hear is now in the Press; and in the following Sheets have given a full, and (I think) a final Answer to whatsoever is material therein. And it so falling out, that my Discourse of Errors was just going under the Press, whilst your Rejoinder was there also, I thought it not convenient to delay my Reply any longer, ⟨p. 169⟩but to have my Antidote in as great readiness as might be to meet it.
One Inconvenience I easily foresee, that the Pages of your Manuscript, which I follow, may not throughout exactly answer to the Print: But every intelligent Reader will easily discern and rectify That, if my Bookseller save him not that trouble, as I have desired him to do.
As to the Controversy about the Right of Believers Infant-seed to Baptism, you have altogether adventured it the second time with the consent of your Partisans, upon the three Hypotheses, which (if I mistake not) I have fully confuted and baffled in my first Answer. But if my brevity occasioned any obscurity in that, I hope you shall find it sufficiently done here. Mean time you have given, and I accordingly take it for granted, that our Arguments for Infants Baptism stand in their full strength against you, 'till you can better discharge and free your dangerous Assertions from the Errors and Absurdities in which they are now more involved and intricated than before.
