Take it thus. Suppose M. Edwards should say in his Pulpit at Christs Church, that he was the Angel that was to pour the vial upon the sun, and afterward there should be this story written, that there was a meeting, where mistress Katherine Chidley and M. Edwards were, and at that time M. Edwards should ⟨p. 10⟩say, I am the Angel of God prophesied of, who am to pour forth the vial upon the sun; would M. Edwards think this story were a true one? Surely a truer story then that he hath in that page of his book 79. in this regard that he had heard of such an one as Katherine Chidley, I had never heard of such an one as Nicols. If M. Edwards be resolved to take this liberty, to raise, to compound, to make stories thus, what may he not say? He may easily fill books every month with stories enough, which he can put into what shape he pleaseth, especially considering how he invites all men to bring him what stories they can, with promise to conceal their names, crying in every street, Dust, Dust. No marvel his Cart is so full.
