There is also one M. Bellamy, while he would seem to be London's Remonstrating Champion, he has nibbled at me. To whom I say, 1. That I am persuaded I stand clear in his conscience, whatsoever I am in his book. 2. If what he objects against me be an Error, yet surely it hath nothing to do with the point of Independency of Church-Government, there is no connection between the one and the other, yet he brings it in to show the Principles of such Independents. 3. If it were Independency, yet it runs not parallel with those mens opinions he had mentioned before, who (he says) hold, That If the Parliament have been any way unfaithful and unserviceable to the Public, or but groundedly suspected so to be, (which all the world knows, that knows these mens minds, they will quickly be ready to do) if in any thing they please not their Palates, that then those that chose and sent them, may have liberty to choose more faithful, able, and better men in their places. Now (says he) consider these mens Tenets. He charges them to tend to utter confusion of all order, power, Government in Church and Common-wealth, and I will give you an instance (says he) of one, (naming my self, in my Answer to D. Ferne.)
