And besides there is one Divine attribute more here mentioned, in contradiction whereunto the Doctrine of our Divines is pretended to proceed, and the prosecution hereof amongst the rest is here set down, by way of superfaetation upon the former, not only that so the argument might be the more complete, but also to cast a colour; that this discourse of Mr Hord's hath not as yet been answered. It may be it would fain have showed it self unto the world in this masculine shape and vigour before this time, if Doctor Duppa while he was Vicechancellour at Oxford would have given way to the printing of it, if it be true as I have heard, that it was offered unto him to be licensed for the press. Doctor Potter also of Queens College performed a friendly part to some body in checking the Stationers for selling the copies of it, for which courtesy, I do account my self so much in his debt as that comes to; and should much more, had he sent me one of the copies, as he did no less then six on the same day to his friend Doctor Aigleonbee; as the Book-seller confessed to a Scholar a friend of mine. Well Mr Hord's treatise is at length come to the Press, and shows it self in public without shame, though I thought it had been sufficiently confounded almost three years ago; yet this Mistress blushes not, though dares not open her mouth to clear her reputation in any one particular of that which I laid to her charge, manifesting her to be no Daughter of God's truth, but a mere Bastard, begotten by a carnal wit, upon a specious pretence by miserable deflowering and adulterating the word of God; one builds a wall as the Prophet speaks, and another daubeth that with untempered mortar. Mr Hord is well known to be the Author of the first by me formerly answered. But what Mason's hand was used in the addition, that is concealed; but that may break out into pregnant evidences before we have gone through with it.
