Ans. He plainly relates two things. 1. Nicols his coming to M. Greenhil, venting such opinions. 2. That upon that occasion there was a meeting concluded of, where M. Greenhil and I he says were; is this of a meeting, but a transition? Truly if Master Edwards hath such a liberty to make such kind of transitions that shall make such things to be that never were, he may by the help of his transitions tell and write lies apace. Hereafter you must call M. Edwards his falsities, his transitions. Transition is a new figure M. Edwards hath invented; when you think he writes lies, it is because of your dull capacity, not understanding his figurative speaking; it is per Transitionem. By this he can heap up story upon story, and turn falsehoods into truths as he pleaseth. This his Rhetoric raiseth his Cretan art beyond what formerly it hath been.
