The Doctrine of the Saints' Perseverance

I say I would suppose, that this might divert our Doctor from casting his eye upon Vedelius, whose defensative would have informed him that these Epistles had been opposed as false and counterfeit, before ever Salmasius, or Blondellus had taken them into consideration; but that I finding him sometimes insisting on that Geneva Edition.

For whereas Cap: 2. Sect: 2: he tells you that he intends to abide only upon the Edition of Isaac Vossius in Greek, published from the Archives of the Library of Lawrence de Medices, and the Latin Edition published by Bishop Usher, out of our Library here at Oxford, yet cap. 8: being pressed with the Testimony of the writers of the Epistle to the Magnesians, in that Edition calling Episcopacy [Greek or Hebrew], plainly intimating a comparative Novelty, in that order to others in the Churches, and fearing (as well he might) that his translation of [Greek or Hebrew] into, the ordination of a young man, would scarce be received by the men of his own prejudice (for surely he never supposed, that he should impose on any other, by such gross figments) he prefers the Vedelian Edition (where these words are not so used) before it: and informs us that sic legendum (as it is in the Geneva Edition) suadet tota Epistolae series. Now this truly is marvellous to me (if the Doctor consulteth Authors any farther, then merely to serve his present turn) how he could ever advise with that Edition of Vedelius, and yet so confidently affirm, that Salmasius and Blondellus were the first that rejected these Epistles, as feigned and counterfeited.
