That the Testimony of M. Burroughs which M. John Goodwin, pag. 42. saith he hath under his hand about Nicols, is true. Thomas All.
That the Testimony of M. Burroughes which M. John Goodwin, pag. 42. saith he hath under his hand about Nicols, is true. Thomas Alle.
I have by me the paper where this is written with his own hand, and this M. All, M. Edwards his only witness, in the presence of many, under his hand, witnesses that he thinks my testimony true, in reference to the whole I had written to M. John Goodwin. By what witness then can M. Edwards prove a lye? Something hath caused M. All since to mince the matter, and to make a relation of some things that neither I nor M. Greenhill owns, but at that time when he gave my justification under his hand, he was urged again and again in the presence of many to declare whether he could say any thing against the truth of any particular in my testimony, and he professed he could not. Surely if he could not, how could M. Edwards who had all he had from him? Besides this, M. All says in what he hath printed, that there are some things in M. Edwards his Book, (speaking in relation to what M. Edwards reports from him) that never came from him; and yet M. Edwards stands boldly to justify that all from first to last is true. But I pray consider further what are M. Edwards his arguments to prove my testimony a lye.
