MR. WATSON, when he could not answer, had recourse to the shameful subterfuge of discrediting the authority of Theodoret, by saying, he was a Nestorian; at the same time, turning to Mr. Cheyney, who stood by, he desired to answer him, intimating, that he was more fit, than Mr. Haddon, to dispute upon this point, because he had granted and subscribed to the real presence. Being thus addressed with an insinuation that required an immediate reply, Mr, Cheyney applied to the house, and requested the patience of those honourable men to hear him, hoping so to open the matter, that the truth should appear; protesting, that he was no obstinate nor stubborn man, but would be conformable to all reason; and if they, by their learning, which he acknowledged to be much more than his, could answer his reasons, then he would be ruled by them, and say as they said; for he would be no author of schism, nor hold any thing contrary to the holy mother, the church, which is the spouse of Christ. Dr. Weston liking this very well, commended him highly, telling him, that he was a very learned and sober man, and well experienced in all good learning, and in the doctors; and finally a man, for his knowledge, fit to dispute in that place; I pray you hear him, quoth he. Then Mr. Cheyney desired those that were present to pray to God with him in two words, and to say, Vinc•t veritas, "Let truth take place, and have the victory;" and all that were present cried with a loud voice, Vinc•t veritas, Vincat veritas.
