In Page 13, you say, That what we have written discovers an evil and bitter, an uncharitable and unchristian Temper and Spirit. What Occasion for this heaping of hard Words? Was it from a christian & charitable Frame of Spirit in you? Don't it favour of what you charge us with Page 8, viz a Disposition to lay on all the Load that you could. The first Thing you mention as an Evidence of our showing of such a Spirit is, That we relate Things that don't enter into the Merits of the Cause; and that therefore the whole Design of them must be only to fix, as far as we could do it a Mark of Dishonour and Disgrace where we would have it worn.

And how much ⟨p. 7⟩does it concern the Merits of the Cause, to insist, with so much Ridicule, on our mean Method of writing? That we have thrust into the World a remarkable Piece, and that we don't appear to keep any Order or Method throughout our whole Book, that Things are oddly mixed and scattered, that to trace our Footsteps, by following us from Page to Page, would be little better than a Goose Chase, and that our Book is a large Bundle of Confusion, and that, we repeat Things in a Manner that is perfectly troublesome and nauseous;
