and walkest despightfully against the Spirit of Grace Oh vain man yet thou canst say God is merciful and live in thy Wickedness passing on thy time without the Fear of God sporting thy self in thy Wickedness What think you now Does this man say the people ought not to pray for a sight of their sins which they see not in order to Repentance or can he mean so let Candor speak For that I said before must be the meaning of this Adversary or he means nothing because in the other sense all must grant that men ought not to tempt provoke and mock God by praying for a fight when they have it and don 't use it What then is the Conclusion of this Matter why plainly this that from G. F. saying that those who say the Lord give us a sight of our sins that have a sight of them already and forsake them not do therein tempt God This Enemy of ours makes no scruple of Conscience to infer and conclude that G. F. says that we ought not to pray to God to give us a sight of our sins at all without any regard to the Distinction of having the sight already be it that such have forsaken what God has given them a sight of or that they have Sins they have yet no sight of yet G. F. says we must not pray for a sight of our sins if this Adversary may be credited Well the Lord God Almighty who is the Searcher of all Hearts knows the end of this Person in writing and spreading these Calumnies and Perversions and with him I leave him and his Work but so as that I sincerely desire that he may have a sight of his sin against God and an harmless People if he acts ignorantly and that he may sincerely repent and find Mercy with the Lord if he acts maliciously before he goes bence and be no more seen for it s not a sleight thing to mischarge and that so peremptorily too an entire People about matters of the World that is without end I shall conclude this Defence with these three things the first is that most of the Opinions he calls ours are not so evinced or so much as attempted to be proved by the Author of the Libel against us 2dly Those that are endeavoured to be fastened on us have not their due proof one Person it may be is produced to make good a Charge against a Body of People would our Adversaries be thus used would they be concluded by the Word or Act of any one Member of their numerous Communion certainly no Besides the Proofs that are brought are some lame others perverted and some forged which looks very dishonourable on the part of our Accuser first to mis-charge then mis-cite and lastly wrack words well intended to extort if possible a Consession of guilt but the truth is Error can only be maintained by Error and therefore there is no wonder in the case This is the Usage we have mostly met with put thanks be to God we are neither surprized nor unqrepared Lastly I do hereby offer a fair and free Conference with the Author or Authors of the Libel or any other that can soberly pretend to a Conscientious Dissatisfaction about our Faith or Practice at such time as shall be mutually agreed upon to be convenient And this I offer not out of Vanity or Oftentation but in Duty to God my great Lord and Master and in good will to all such Persons and did not these Considerations prevail and carry me to this Condescention my manifold Affairs and the many and large Books I have already writ on occasion of these and the like Imputations would have disswaded me from any fresh undertaking of this nature and sufficiently guarded me against all Reflections upon my Silence I am a Friend to Mankind William Penn.
