A90123	Fratres in Malo, or The matchles couple, represented in the writings of Mr. Edward Bagshaw, and Mr. Henry Hickman; by way of answer to a scandalous letter, bearing the name of Mr. Bagshaw; and to a slanderous libel, fictitiously subscribed by Theophilus Churchman, but proved to be written by Henry Hickman. To which is added a Latine essay, very briefly and plainly reconciling God's præscience with the free-will of man, which Mr. Bagshaw thought irreconcileable. All in vindication of Dr. Heylin and Mr. Pierce. By one of the meanest of their admirers M.O. Bachelour of Arts.	Ogilvy, Michael, d. 1666.	1660 (1660)	Wing O186; Thomason E1044_12; ESTC R7136	26,823	40

Civil war pag. 159. lin 21. That I may not be Voluminous but rather make short work I shall onely shew you by way of Reference pointing out with my finger to whom you were beholding for other things Churchman Francis Rous. Concerning King James's saying of Predestination pag. 140. lin 24. See Francis Rous in his Testis veritatis or Doctrine of K. James p. 3. l. 3. Concerning A. B. Bancroft's approving Mr. Roger's Book on the Articles p. 116. l. 15. See Ibid. p. 53. lin 22 c. Concerning the Arminians destroying the Articles of Religion by your opinion Title-page lin 22. See Ibid. p. 58. Concerning Bp. Montagues censuring the Genevenses Epist pag. 2. See Dr. Owen's long Preface to his Book of Perseverance Now besides these Authors whom you have plundred I know not how many there are besides whom you include in your Et caetera as soon as you have named Dr. Davenant and Dr. Twisse whose Books having not read I know no more of your stealths from them than your self have confessed in general Termes and therefore require you to give in a Catalogue of particulars Yet I can tell you where you had your quisquilious Levity and lifting up a pen p. 13. p. 77. even from the Triumviri of Mr. Goodwin And where you had your being possest with an invincible indignation c. p. 19. l. 6. even from Dr. Peter Heylin So the Dr's hard grating your stile Pref. p. 7. is the second time stolne from Mr. Goodwin Some things you filtcht from Dr. Browns vulgar Errours as when you say p. 7. there is nothing above the line or beyond the extemporary sententiosity of a ploughman or Butcher Your playing with Ne hili upon the name of Dr. Heylin p. 13. is verbatim stolne from Mr. Fuller's Reply Many of your cleanest and best expressions are palpably stolne from Mr. Pierce as I could demonstrate if I had time I could also tell you of many stealths in your first Rapsody which escaped the notice of Dr. H. and Mr. P. But hereafter of That if occasion serves And thus you have my first Reason why the Libellous Joco-seria ought to lie at your Dore. My second is taken from your forgetfulness of the part you were to act when having spoken of Mr. Hickman in the third person only as far as p. 23. you there betray your self by speaking plainly in the first And this is done no less than twise in one Section p. 23 24. So that Churchman is discovered to be a Magdalen Colledge man and no one there besides your self could be so thievish or so obscene or so slanderously malicious to Dr. Heylin or so partially affected to Mr. Hickman who has too much of their Laughter to think he has any of their Love as to compile such a Libel in your behalf My third Reason is Because although in the Title-page the Libel is pretended to have been printed at London yet the Printer's Errata are imputed to the Author 's being sometimes absent from the University as if there were no sending to London or having intelligence from thence unless by being at Oxford or Cambridge A Counterfeit in one thing will be a Counterfeit in another My fourth Reason is because in the very last lines printed after the Errata a Confession is made unto the Reader that many passages of the Book were dishonestly taken from several Authors without an acknowledgment of the Authors from whom the passages were stolne and without so much as a Note of Difference which is usually made in Italick Letters This in that place is expressed thus Some things taken out of Dr. Davenant Dr. Twisse c. are not put in the Italick Letters nor the Authors Names set against them in the Margin Where I observe these things 1. Your favourable Periphrasis whereby the Plagium or Robbery is here described Things were taken out of Authors without taking notice of their Names and without the doing of any thing else by which they might be known to be none of yours Neither Celsus nor Bathyllus could have said less for themselves Secondly This Confession was not made until the Libel was quite printed which was after the discoveries of your former stealths were made publick And in which our Churchman had not been so concerned had not He and Mr. Hickman been both the same Thirdly After Davenant and Twisse there is added an c. Importing many more Authors that had been pilfer'd of wit and language who yet are concealed with an c. because the same that Mr. Hickman had so eminently robb'd in his former Book Fourthly As the other sufferers are not named so Dr. Davenant and Dr. Twisse are only named without any reference to their Books much less to their pages out of which it is confessed some things were taken And so much for my fourth Reason My Fifth Reason is because Churchman sometimes confesseth that what he speaks is from the mouth of Mr. Hickman as well as in Mr. Hickman's name p. 168. l. 6 20. My Sixth Reason is because I can prove that you owned the thing as yours whilst yet it stuck in the Press at Oxford and continued so to do untill your Trade of stealing was in part discovered by Dr. Heylin and in perfection by Mr. Pierce After which you repented though you purpos'd never to mend and being asham'd to own That which you found would be proved to be but stolne you try'd to hide it behind the veil of Theophilus Churchman A couple of names no way suitable unless it be by an Antiphrasis For how can you be Theophilus who slander God as the Author of the wickedest actions in the world Mr. Pierce hath printed your own words in his Letter to Dr. Heylin p. 226. c. And how can you be a Churchman who were only ordained by Presbyterians and by that made incapable of being admitted into the Clergy without your abtenunciation of such Mock-Orders But haveing spent too much time in the plucking off your Hood that men may see who you are for all your mumming I will proceed to make it appear in the second place the first being filled with your trade of stealing what a trade of wilful lying and slandering is driven by those Puritans who pretend to Godlinesse onely for gain and afterwards aggravate their Hypocrisie by calling it the token and also the Fruit of their Election You deny in the Preface p. 8 9. your having smitten or bitten or ever so much as shewed your teeth at sequestred men of the Clergy And yet besides your railing at Dr. Heylin and Mr. Pierce at the Bishops in general and the Arch-Bishop in particular as if he laboured to bring in Popery and had been turned out of the Schooles you rancked Dr. Hammond with * 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 p. 66. p. 21.

The passage and application of the Stoick in Lucian his outery supplying his want of Argument crying 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 is visibly stolne from Mr. Chillingworth his Epistle Dedicatory to the King p. 3. These particulars are many many even to admiration considering the shortness of your Exercitation with which your Printer was not able to fill up three little leaves notwithstanding the largeness of his Character as well as his many and great breaks And now pray to what purpose is the little all that you have said The Latine Exercitation Epitomized you onely tell us as well as you can that is very improperly what every childe could have told you That the Stoicks held one thing and the Platonicks quite another and that if any one has a minde to examine the matter of Free-will he may read Bp. Bramhal affirming and Thomas Hobbs more then Stoically denying what the Scripture you say affirmeth The Free-will of man After which you conclude that you believe it for your own part as being taught it out of the Scripture although you see no reason for it and cannot conceive how it should be yea that it can as * Non dubitaverim affirmare nihil esse quod minus probari posse putem p. 19. little be proved to be as whatsoever it is which is most impossible And yet you say in the close of all † Cum nemo non experiatur se quando velit non actionem modò sed voluntatem immutare posse nemo vereatur asserere sibi cam cujus vim quotidiè sentit actionem exerit c. p. 20. That every man proves by his own experience that he can change his action yea and his will too when he pleaseth And therefore you forbid him to deny Free-will whose operation and force he daily feeleth within himself O brave Usher That is impossible to be proved which is daily proved by experience It is the fullest of Difficulties although the clearest and plainest thing and the most undeniable to be imagined Go thy wayes without a Peer both as a Disputant and a Divine I will not swinge you for your * p. 16. l. vit p. 17. l. 1. usque ad l. 7. false Latine False Latin pardoned in writing a period of no lesse then eight lines without a principal Verb to make it sense nor for your Ignorance in the use of the words † p. 17. l. 5.

Nor for saying 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 is the very Greek for wretched implying that you knew not the just Importance of the word nor yet for diverse other things which I have promised you not to mention but onely ask you why you say That no man hitherto hath been able to explain how humane liberty can consist with Divine prescience Salvo utriusque jure p. 20. Dare you write your self a Student without having studied so much as one of those many who have often and clearly performed that task which you say was never performed by any Not to speake of Latin writers Mr. Thorndike in English hath done it largely and Mr. Pierce long before had done it often If you have read his several Books why do you write against your knowledge If you never read them which is most likely since you never cited a Line from them but onely railed at them in general why raile you at that which you never read your meaning is that you your self are not able to conceive much lesse to explain how humane Liberty can consist with Gods Prescience Whereby you virtually confess that it cannot consist with Gods absolute Decrees of Election and Reprobation And so you must deny those decrees to be absolute because you hold the Free-will of man And again you must deny the Free-will of man because you hold those Decrees to be Absolute Well Sir Because the thing which you call a Latine Exercitation amounts to no more in effect then a Declaration of your ignorance how Free-will and Prescience are reconcileable this in God and that in man I will enlighten your understanding as Mr. Pierce his Books have enlightned mine And in order to this end I will not steal but fairely and thankfully onely borrow some of his Light All I shall do shall be to explain it to you in Latine that so in every respect I may fit my Remedy to your Disease If it chance toeffect the cure you will acknowledge me to be of all the men in the world Your surest friend in time of need M.
