Keit. You go too fast, your answer goes beyond my proposal, or their request: we spake only of private Conversation. I said nothing of the Sabbath, nor of their public Teaching, this is a greater matter. But go to, seeing you have made the motion, I will not refuse it. What say you my friends? you hear wh•• these people desire, will you t•rry the Sabbath among us, and teach publicly amongst my people? for if you accept the motion, we shall take a course to give notice thereof to all parts of the Town.

Ant. We are sent by the Church in the Name of Jesus Christ, to call you up unto the way which leadeth to heaven. One part of this heavenly way, is to Keep holy the Sabbath day, by exercising our selves in the Word of God and prayer. I perceive the forwardness of your people hereunto, and your own wary condescendence unto their desires, which amounteth unto more then a calling unto us to attend the motion: it addeth encouragement and hope of good acceptance with man, and a divine blessing from heaven. ⟨p. 53⟩Philip Keitassoot.
