SECT. IX.
2. That we are Scandalous in three respects▪ 1. The Foundation was laid with Excommunicate persons. 2. We called such to Administer holy things, who were justly for scandal cast out of other Churches. 3. For receiving such into our Society. ⟨p. 15⟩Ans. This is indeed the charge, from the just imputation whereof all their tergiversations▪ excuses, suppressions of the truth, and suggestions of falsehood, shall never acquit them. I find not that he denies the first proposition, viz. that those who do such things (adding the word justly to the first part of the charge) are to be reputed scandalous. That they have so done remains to be proved.
