Male audis or An answer to Mr. Coleman his Malè dicis. Wherein the repugnancy of his Erastian doctrine to the word of God, to the solemn League and Covenant, and to the ordinances of Parliament: also his contradictions, tergiversations, heterodoxies, calumnies, and perverting of testimonies, are made more apparent then formerly. 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.

The Reverend Brother brings another Testimony out of Aretius against Suspension from the Sacrament; And further saith he, for this grand desired power, Suspension from Sacrament, these are his words, &c. A Testimony three ways falsified. 1. Aretius speaks not at all in that place of the power or duty of Church-Officers, of which Suspension is a part: but he speaks of private Christians, and what is incumbent to them. 2. He speaks of Separation (not of Suspension) from the Sacrament; that a man is not bound to withdraw and lie off from the Sacrament, because every ⟨p. 54⟩one who is to communicate with him is not in his opinion a1 Saint. 3. He speaketh against Separation from both Word and Sacrament, because of the mixture of good and bad in hearing and in communicating: but scandalous sinners are invited to, not suspended from the hearing of the Word. Wherefore take Aretius his words as they are, and then let the Reverend Brother consider what he hath gained.
