An. To this I have 4 Things to say, 1. 'Tis true, you have my sense in the words you lay down for mine, but not my words. I said indeed, To cry down all Government and Reformation as carnal, because it hath the Protection or civill sanction of the Magistrate, doth cross that place, 1 Tim. 2.2. and so I say still; and in stead of your calling forth your Babes and sucklings to answer this; you your self dare not come forth and deny it. 2. You had need call for Babes and Sucklings to answer this; some body else had need do it, for indeed you do not do it your self; nay, you grant as much as I affirm, which I shall declare presently. 3. I cannot but take notice what a charitable allusion you have in comparing me to Dives, that I should squeeze a drop to cool the tip of my tongue; excellent good language for you to have in your mouth, what a damned man in Hell spake (if it be not a Parable) where the Law of Love did not bear sway. You that have borrowed this one expression from Dives, have borrowed many other expressions from some one else, not far from him. 4. You grant what I affirm from 1 Tim. 2.2. You say, the Magistrate should not enforce godliness, but protect godliness; So say I too; if he must protect ⟨p. 37⟩us, how can this be but by giving his Civill Sanction to allow us the public exercise of that Religion and Government Christ hath set up within his Dominion? thus instead of denying, you confirm what I said.
