for a Publick Hearing If you have Truth and Justice on your side come forth and let it appear before the World and say not that such and such things are false but prove them to be so and bring things to the Light and let not Christs words be fullfilled on you viz. You hate the Light because your deeds are Evil c. Say not that we are bold and daring thus to Challenge you for it s not writ in a presumptuous Spirit as relying on our own Strength or Parts but on the Lord alone on whom is our Dependance and who knows the Innocency of our Cause and therefore we are not afraid to bring it to the Test but willing to appear openly as hitherto we have done in Print and not as your Practice is to report false things secretly abroad which we know not whom to fasten upon but what we publish in Print remains to be the Authors whether true or false if false why don't you refute it the Press is free and open for you as for any But the matter in our inâ—e Printed Books is true and stands over your Heads and which you will never be able to Ruine But next let us enquire what have you condemned G. K. for some of you say Parâ—â—y 〈…〉 of Doâ—â—â—ine and partly for hard Words But as for Doctrine you have not mentioned what it is and as for the hard Names you mention it is made appear in The Plea of the Innocent c. that they were justly given by G. K. to them that deserved the same But have his Opposers given no hard Names no unjust and false Reflections yea many But why only then must G. K. be condemned and not they also who have given hard words and false Names to G. K. When G. K. complained against them for not giving Judgment against W. Stockdale's Blasphemy Samuell Jenings could excuse it by bringing the Example and Practice of worldly Courts saying George thou hast reviled thy Brethren and in Courts we allow of Discount So that according to S. Jenings W. Stockdale's Blasphemy must be discounted against G. K 's Reviling his Brethren as they account it but can never prove But if Discount be allowable in this case why are not G. K's hard words discounted against those that have been given to him so far as they will reach And that it may appear what hard Name have been given we think fit here to mention viz. They say G. K. has called them 1. Fools 2. Ignorant Heathens 3. Infidells 4. Silly Souls 5. Lyars 6. Hereticks 7. Rotten Ranters 8. Muggletonians They of the other side have called G. K. 1. Brat of Babylon 2. Accuser of the Brethren 3. Apostate 4. Worse than Prophane 5. A Troubler of the Church 6. A Person that no one could have Difference with but he was in danger of the Life of his Soul 7. A Preacher of two Christs 8. A Teller of an Old St Andrews Story 9. Pope 10. Father Confessor 11. Lyor 12. Devil 13 Muggletonian 14. Compared him to a Wolf Tyger c. 15 One that alwayes endeavoured to keep down the Power of Truth 16. A more vexatious Adversary than Hicks Faldo Scanderet or the worst of Enemies 17. One that is fallen upon the soaring Mountains c. 18. As a man slain 19. Become Treacherous is to the Spouse of his Youth 20. Fallen on his first Love 21. Gone into a Spirit of Enmity Wrath Self-Exaltation Contention c. 22. Foaming out his own Shame 23. A Person without the Fear of God before his Eyes 24. Leting loofe the Reins to an Extravagant Tongae 25. Broken out into many Vngodly Speeches Railing Accusations Passionate Threatenings being Cruel c. like an Vnwearied Adversary With many more that can be proved Now let the Impartial Reader judge which have exceeded in hard Words and whether they are not very partial to pass by all that hath been said against G. K. and condemn him for what he hath spoke in its right place as is made appear in the Book called The Plea of the Innocent And yet when G. K. was the Complainer for many Months for Justice to be done to Truth they could plead for Discount and put Blasphemy against Christ Jesus in the Ballance against Reflections upon themselves and yet now will not disount for hard words And a so they have judged a whole Meeting without ever admonishing of them If this be not Partiality Injustice and Unrighteous Judgment tell us what is And clear your selves of these things if you can Signed by us in behalf of the rest of our Friends by order of our Meeting the 18 th of the 5 Month 1692.

Richardson And whereas it is reported That the Printer being a favourer of G. K. he will not print for any other which is the reason that the other Party appear not in Print as well as G K. These are to signifie that the Printer hath not yet refused to print any thing for either Party and also signifies that he doth not refuse but is willing and ready to print any thing for the future that G. K 's Opposers shall bring to him
