Love. Cast your eyes upon the begun Reformation, though peradventure cried down with Confidence, no such thing as the Reformation of the Church. See Reply pag. 33.

Reply. Pag. 34. To which you reply: I taught indeed that the Kingdom of Christ is a spiritual Kingdom, and the Reformation of it is answerable; but little thought that any man would have been so blind or worse, as to have affirmed the preaching of this spiritual and glorious Reformation, was to preach against all Reformation. Is the Reformation of Jesus Christ, which he works by his Word and Spirit in all the faithful, no Reformation at all? How durst you affirm this Mr. Love?

Answ. Mr Dell to clear himself from what I charged him with (viz. That he cried down all Ecclesiastical Reformation) saith, That he little thought any man would be so blind or worse, to affirm that the preaching of this spiritual Reformation, was to preach against all Reformation. To which I must needs confess, to preach of spiritual Reformation, as it should be preached, is not to preach against all other Reformation: but to preach of spiritual Reformation, as Mr. Dell preached it, viz. exclusively, is to preach against all other Reformation. Yet Mr. Dell, to make men believe as if he were not against Ecclesiastical Reformation, saith, That he thinks him mad or worse, that affirms spiritual Reformation excludes all other Reformation: truly I am of his mind. Now that I might turn the edge of this Assertion against Mr Dell I shall reduce it into this Syllogism.
