NOW in the mean time, while Mr. Philpot was speaking, Mr. Pie, whispering the prolocutor in the car, urged him to silence Philpot, fearing, if he held on longer, he would wholly overthrow their opinion of the carnal presence, seeing he had already given one of its main supporters such a blow. The prolocutor, therefore, said to Mr. Philpot, that he had reasoned long enough, and that some other should supply his room, at which Mr. Philpot, being much displeased, said, Why, sir, I have a dozen arguments to propose concerning this matter, and I have as yet scarce gone over the first; for being hitherto hindered, through your frequent interruptions, I have not, for confirmation, quoted any ancient writers, though I could a great man•. Well, returned the prolocutor, you shall sp••k no more now, and I command you to be silent. You perceive, said Mr. Philpot, that I am able to controvert your false supposition, and therefore you command me to be silent. If you will not give place, said Mr. Weston, I will send you to prison. This is not, replied Philpot, according to your promise made in this house, nor yet to your bra•s made at Paul's Cross, that men should be answered in this disputation to whatever they can say, sinc• of a dozen arguments you will not suffer me •o prosecute one. Here Mr. Pie took upon him to promise, that he should be answered another day. But Mr. Philpot, seeing he could not proceed as he designed, was justly offended thereat, and concluded with the following words:—"A sort of you here, who hitherto have lurked in corners, and dissembled with God and the world, are now gathered together to suppress the sincere truth of God's holy word, and to set forth every false device, which by the catholic doctrine of the scripture ye are not able to maintain."
