A vindication of the Animadversions on Fiat lux

I wish you would inform us of your excellent expedient to teach a man to cry Credo without the use or exercise of his Reason to bring him thereunto. But when you have done so, I know it is no other way but that by it you may teach a Parrot or Starling to say as much, or the Crow that cried of old [Greek or Hebrew]. But you would evade all concernment in this Discourse, by denying that your Fiat Lux, was written unto any ⟨p. 366⟩such concernment against Protestants. I know not well what you mean by your, Unto any such concernment against Protestants. That the main design of your Discourse, is to bring Protestants unto an uncertainty in their profession by everting the Principles which you apprehend them to build upon, and thereon to persuade them unto Popery, I was in hope you would have no more denied. It hath been evidenced unto you with as needless a labour as ever any man was put unto; but it is done because you would needs have it so, and shall not now be done again.
