The riches of Gods love unto the vessels of mercy, consistent with his absolute…The riches of Gods love unto the vessells of mercy, consistent with his absolute…

Here they are quite out of breath, and that which is wanting, they leave to be supplied by the serious (they should say ignorant) consideration of their Proselytes. They presume this colour of dishonour redounding hereby to Christ, will be sufficient to blow up their Adversaries, though it prove of no more force then a squib. This carriage of theirs calls to my remembrance, a mad prank plaid by the English at Delft, while they were billeted there, which was told me merrily, by one of the number. One of the Soldiers was billeted in an old Widows house, and another being a Goldsmith, told him and another consort of theirs, he had a devise to put money in all their purses, for he knew how to make a Rex-dollar of three-pence silver, and in that Widows house they would ply their business very securely. To work they went, and casting plates of Tin to the quantity of one of those Dollars, and stamping them full and fair, this Gold-smith, with the quantity of three pence silver, silvered them over very fairly, and, least they should seem too light, hangs them up in the chimney in a bag, that the smoke might bring them to the sadder hew. Thus having met with a mine of Silver in their lodging, one is employed as a Merchant-man to go to the Staple of Cloth, and he lays out their coin in cloth, whereof afterwards they made good silver indeed: at length one of them paying a debt of his to a Dutchman in Delft, in one of these Rex-dollars, he found the Dutch to betray some suspicious gestures and interpretations upon the coin. That was a fair warning to an intelligent man of arms; and hereupon they get them packing ing away with all speed; and home they come, and make themselves merry with the relation. In like sort these Remonstrants show a great deal of Tin and trash in these argumentations, and they have not so much as three pence silver to colour it therewithal to cheat the World, if they will be cheated. But they hope the colour of some dishonour by their adversaries doctrine redounding unto Christ, will be taken for a piece at least of good silver. I confess, I am somewhat the more merrily disposed at this time, For being taken off from the midst of a sentence, by the courteous invitation of a Gentleman, to come unto him to his Inn: He was pleased to entertain me with such good discourse, that it did not a little refresh my spirits.
