About the Appellations he shall think meet to make use of, in reference to the Persons at variance, we will not contend with him: Only I desire to let him know, That the reproach of Galilean from the Pagans, which he appropriates to the Papists, was worn out of the World, before that Popery which he pleads for, came into it. As Roman-Catholics never tasted of the sufferings wherewith that Reproach was attended, so they have no special right to the honour that is in its remembrance. As to the sport he is pleased to make with his Country-men, in the close of this Paragraph, about losing their wits in Religious contests, with the evils thence ensuing, I shall no further reflect upon; but once ⟨p. 125⟩more to mind the Reader, that the many words he is pleased to use in the exaggerating the evils of managing differences in Religion with animosities and tumults, so seemingly to persuade men to moderation and peace, I shall wholly pass by, as having discovered, that that is not his business, nor consequently at present, mine.
