O• doth he appear in the Wisdom that is from above, that is first Pure, then Peaceable, Gentle, •a••e to be Entreated, full of Mercy and good Fruits, without Partiality and without Hypocrisy, and the Fruits of Righteousness that is sown in Peace of them that make Peace, Jam. 3. 17, 18. What kind of Scoffing, Reproaching, Railing and opprobrious Language he hath cast on us, I shall collect and set down in its proper Place; and yet at the same time he bears very hard upon his Antagonists for using such kind of Terms, &c. p. 4. How will he escape, who says a Man should not Steal, if he Steals? Or, that a Man should not commit Adultery, if he commits Adultery? Rom. 2. 22.
