A vindication of the book called, Some Gospel-truths opened; according to the Scriptures, and the opposition made against it by Edward Borough, a professed Quaker, (but proved an enemy to the truth) examined and confuted by the word of God. And also, the things that were then laid down, and declared to the world by me, are a second-time born witness to, according to truth: with the answer of Edward Borough to the queries then laid down in my book reproved. And also, a plain answer to his queries, given in simplicity of soul; and is now also presented to the world, or who else may read, or hear them; to the end (if God will) that truth may be discovered thereby. / by John Bunyan ...A vindication of the book called, Some Gospel-truths opened; according to the Scriptures, and the opposition made against it by Edward Borrough, a professed Quaker, (but proved an enemie to the truth) examined and confuted by the word of God.

But farther, thou art somewhat distempered, and discontented that I said, Many sad and horrible doctrines are vented by you. And you said, I named nothing. Answ. I need not, thine own speech bewrayeth thee, that thou art one of them, that do such things; and I need go no further then thy own mouth and doctrine. But if it will be more satisfaction to tell you wherein, they of your society do hold sad doctrine, I shall.
