An answer to Mr. George Walkers vindication, or rather, fresh accusation wherein he chargeth…

But that that followeth, is yet more ridiculous, that herein he did M. Wotton a singular favour. For under that obscure title he had lien hid and unknown to any, but those alone that had been acquainted with all that had passed between M. Walker and him.

Is the name of Antony Wotton then so obscure a title? or are there so many of note so named, that this our A Wotton may lie hid in the heap, among the multitude of them, unless be be by some special notes and marks otherwise deciphered? And yet any man, not utterly cracked-brained, would have thought, that ^gAnthony Wotton, one that some 28. years ago lived in London, and there in Manuscript Pamphlets and Printed books dispersed his opinions concerning justification, and ^hby the fame and opinion, which men had of his great learning and no less piety, drew many zealous professors into the liking of his errors; and afterward ⁱ•rought a book De Reconciliati•e, in Latin, &c. Any man would think, I say, unless he wanted his •its that thus much were sufficient to discover, who the man were, that M. Walker meant, though they that read him were not privy to all M. Walkers either revilings of him in public, or baitings of him in ⟨p. 17⟩private. Suppose M. Walkers adversary before assigned him, had only styled him, George Walker, one that so many years ago had in the City of London out of the Pulpit inveighed and declaimed oft against M. Wottons writings and M. Bradshaws works, as containing much heretical and blasphemous matter, &c. were it not enough to let men know who the man were that be meant (notwithstanding I suppose there be and have been about the City more Walkers then Wottons) unless they had been acquainted with all things, that either at the solemn meeting of Ministers, or in private otherwise, had passed between him and M. Wotton.
