THE DEEDS OF Dr. Denison A little more manifested BY HIS ANSVVER TO THE DEFENCE OF John Etherington VVhich he published in Anno Dom. 1641. against his false accusations and the depositions of his false witnesses Whereupon he was censured by the High Commission Court And his reply to the Doctors Answer Which answer he hath added to his Woolfe-Sermon Booke PRO. 11.6.9 The righteousnesse of the upright shall deliver them But transgressors shall be taken in their own naughtinesse An hypocrite with his mouth destroieth his neighbour But through knowledge shall the just be preserved PRO. 12.6 The words of the wicked are to lie in wait for bloud but the mouth of the upright shall deliver them LONDON Printed by F. L. and are to be sold by Iohn Wright in the little Old-Baily 1642. THE DEEDS OF Doctor Denison a little more manifested IOHN ETHERINGTON's Reply IN the first page of your Answer Mr. D. on the 77. page as it stands in the end of your novellish booke not to reply to every word or saying of yours unmateriall I charge you with falshood in this that you say I complained first against you whereas I complained not first to go to law in the High-Commission Court which you would seem to inferre and make people beleeve but only in way of request to have things heard in peace and ended without law And this was after you had scandalized and reviled me by name in your Pulpits and that I had sought unto you often and you would by no means be spoken with according as I have declared in my defence And to the Archbishop you prevented me and got letters Missive granted to sue me in the Court all which you know very well to be true Let the Reader now judge who is here to be blamed for false speaking and evill doing you or I. And in the second page of your Answer in that you say you might have required of me costs of sute but did not you tell the Reader a manifest untruth for you did move the Court for costs of suite the same time that I was discharged and were checkt and reproved by some of the Court for the same and bid hold your peace as can be proved by sufficient witnesse if need be therefore let the Reader consider how you favoured me as you say And whereas in the same page you deny that you sought after or thirsted for my bloud besides the report of a Minister on Master Ward that told it me when I was in prison as a thing that he heard from your own mouth Your Woolfe Sermon as you preached it at the Crosse did discover your desires in that respect to many that then heard you and so judged And in your booke of that Sermon though it be much altered and refined of many hatefull and bloud-thirsty words you then uttered yet there is still enough therin that proves the same And in that you deny you said of me by name Whether he be dead or alive with God or the devill I cannot tell c. There is witnesse sufficient to prove that you did so speak in your Pulpit at Creechurch and that you were my cheife accuser except the chiefest wicked one it is well enough known to many And concerning the Depositions of your witnesses whom you stile honest men Ministers and Professours no knights of the Post c. Let the Reader but consider their depositions which neither they nor you can deny to be their own words and my defence also and he shall see if he be judicious and not partiall what honest professours they are Men may professe strictnesse in Religion as the Pharisees did and yet be no better then they that bare false witnesse against Christ and persecuted him And whereas in the third page you blame me so greatly for that in my defence Mr. Robrowgh is set down Curate if he had wrong done him therein let the Reader blame the Register or Robrowgh himselfe for so I found it in his deposition Recorded which I have yet under the Registers hand to shew and whatsoever he is now he might be so then for ought I know and to have the care of or be a curer of souls need be no disparedgement to him nay rather it would be happie for him if he were so And for your wondring that I so charge Sir Henry Martine whom you so greatly extoll in the same third page which you say I durst not have done if he had been alive Whereas it is well known I did it at least ten years before openly to the Court and in his own hearing and sight and he was living after my defence was published in print though you caring not to publish lies say the contrary But Master Doctor you have great reason to set forth the praise of Sir Henry Martin and to extoll him because he holpe you so well out of the mire wherein you had so unadvisedly befowled your selfe not only in this your evill and unchristian-like dealing against me but also in respect of your other businesse at Cree-Church concerning some of the chiefe of your Parish for which the Archbishop and Court displaced you and especially that of the women for whch that Knight got you a purgation granted by the Court that you might thereby clense your selfe therefrom without any Repentance or Remition These are some of your sure signes that Sir Henry Martin was a righteous Judge and for which hee suffered blame by some great men as the Archbishop and some other of the Bishops the same time as you know Your saying in your fourth page and your glorying in the presentation and dedication of your booke to the King I refer to the consideration of the Reader that hath or shall reademy defence and request him also to reade and consider well your Epistle Dedicatorie of your Wolfes booke to the King and see how you play the Sycophant and Colloguer especially with the High Commission Court and Bishops of Canterbury and London Abbot and Mountney And in your fifth page where you say I pretend I could never obtaine to speake with you c. and tell of Master Cleaver Robrowgh Stephens c. and then say that I know you have met me divers times in the streets of London and said unto me Iohn Hetherington I pray let me speake with you c. This tale of yours is a very untruth for untill I complained of you to the Bishop of London all the while that you scadalized and reviled me by name in your Pupits which was the time wherein I say and you know I often sought and could never obtaine to speake with you And within three dayes after we had beene before the Bishop of London you entred your suit and got Letters Missive out against me It is true after you had gotten sentence passed against me and that I had enduted three years imprisonment and being discharged and at liberty I met with you at the end of Cornhill by the
