Together with some animadversions upon Master Hussey his Plea for Christian magistracy: showing, that in divers of the afore mentioned particulars he hath miscarried as much, and in some particulars more then Mr Coleman. / By George Gillespie, minister at Edinburgh.

Thirdly▪ Master Coleman in his Maledicis pag. 1. saith, I ⟨p. 49⟩am confident, the Church of Scotland sent this Commissioner to dispute down our reasons, not to revile our persons. Maledicis Maledicis pag. 1. Why did he not (if he could) give instance of some reviling word written by me against his person. I have not so learned Christ. The Lord rebuke every railing and reviling Spirit. I have given him reason against railing; he hath given me railing against reason, I spake to his doctrine, he speaks to my place and relation, which is both the Alpha and Omega of his Maledicis.

Thirdly, ibid. Knowledge saith he is only with Mr. Gillespie, others understand neither what they say, nor whereof they affirms. He will sooner bring water out of flint, then prove this consequence out of my Title page. Although I confess himself hath affirmed divers things of the Church of Scotland, which he doth not understand, as I have made plainly to appear. If he take a review of the Title page of his re-examination, he gives more ground for this consequence, that Mr. Coleman is the only man that denies himself: others seek great things for themselves. Or from the Title page of his Maledicis, this consequence will be as good that Mr. Coleman is the only man that blesseth, others are revilers.
