9. It is not true, that hM. Walker did at first desire of us, that having in writing paralleled M. Wottons words with Socinus his, we would give our hands to his parallel, and subscribe, that he had not charged M. Wotton with any opinions or words but his own; or confuted under the name of Socinianism any words of his, wherein he con•urred not with Socinus. For ineither was there at first any mention of a Parallel; nor came the motion of it, when it was afterward mentioned, from M. Walker; but was after some wast of time spent to no purpose in clamorous declamations and invectives, by my self propounded; that we might thereby the better discern, how the case stood concerning the matters controverted, and bring the business to some good issue: nor was any such subscription ever on M. Walkers part required; who as he now scoffeth us by the name of Subscribers; so could not after due hearing endure to hear of any subscribing; well wotting by the verdict of the whole company, what the subscription was like to be.
