A Discourse Apologetical, concerning some notorious Falsehoods in LILIES Merlin for the year 1654.
A Discourse Apologetical, concerning some notorious Falshoods in LILIES Merline for the year 1654.
NO sooner did Lilies Pasquil (for no other then such are his Anniversary Merlins) for the year 54. come flying abroad, but being informed, that therein after his wonted guise he had again fallen foul upon me, I was desirous to have a sight of it, that I might see what he had said in his own defence, concerning those things that I had charged upon him, both in mine Annotations, and in my Vindication thereof, and what he had returned to my fresh charge, or pursuit in the latter, of my first charge in the former. But when it came to my hands upon perusal of it, I soon perceived, that I had proved a true Prognostes, and much truer then Lily; albeit I had not at all consulted with the Stars, as he professeth and pretendeth to do; nor indeed was there any need at all that I should.
