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.

Secondly, In the same Ordinance of Parliament for the calling of an Assembly of Divines, it is Ordained, that the Assembly after conferring and treating among themselves touching the Liturgy, Discipline, and Government of the Church, or vindication and clearing of the Doctrine of the same, shall deliver their opinions or advices of or touching the matters aforesaid to both or either of the Houses of Parliament, yet Mr. Hussey Epist. to the Parliament, pag. 3. 6. will not have Classes and Assemblies to put any thing to the Vote, but to hold on the Disputes till all end in accord, and in unanimous consent of the whole Clergy. But how can the Assembly after Disputes, express their sense, and deliver their opinions and advice to the Parliament, as they are required, except they do it by putting to the Vote. Mr. Coleman himself hath consented, yea sometime called to put things to the Vote. And as for Classes, will any man imagine that when both Houses of Parliament did Vote that many particular Congregations shall be under one Presbyterial Government, their meaning was that the Classical Presbytery shall only School-wise Dispute, and put nothing to the Vote: Or that the Classical Presbytery shall in common dispense the Word and Sacraments to many Congregations, and that either the Classical Presbytery shall go to the several Congregations successively, or the many Congregations come to the Classical Presbytery, for Preaching and Baptizing? I admire what opinion Mr. Hussey can have of the Parliamentary Vote concerning Presbyterial Government.

And as for Classes, will any man imagine that when both Houses of Parliament did Vote that many particular Congregations shall be under one Presbyteriall Government, their meaning was that the Classicall Presbitery shall onely Schoole-wise Dispute, and put nothing to the Vote: Or that the Classicall Presbitery shall in common dispence the Word and Sacraments to many Congregations, and that either the Classicall Presbitery shall goe to the severall Congregations successively, or the many Congregations come to the Classicall Presbitery, for Preaching and Baptizing?
