the tedious taper was quite finished yet the smoake offended more then the flashes lighted and his greatest envy was that his own deputation was so far behind in so base a Court and beheld younger yeares through more gravity of spirit intrusted in places of Reputation and Honour with good men Thirdly he soares high and would blemish those he cannot be indured by honest men to be heard to speake against yet some he dined at Hell with last Terme love such sedition fittest company for him but he feares a tell-tale and so concludes but let this be a warning lest all come out Lastly this furious Catch-pole brings in a paper wherein was written thus When other scandalous Books are brought in I doubt not but it that is Master Leys Book will be presented among them In the meane time he may doe well to allow Master Merideth something towards his great losse for Printing so uselesse a Booke to lye upon his hands for waste Paper and giving the lye to himselfe runs back seven dayes and fals into the Bull of December the 10. from whence he had stragled at the beginning and to speake truth there is many Bulls in his language but when he fals into thoughts of conscience he breakes off his discourse and like the lesuits to the Popish Legend he refers all to Epistles of those whose testimony he would have to be thought infallible and then what he sayes it must be Probatum est An answer to Novello-Mastix his Anti-quaeries being the 8. section of the Additionall papers to Master Leys Answer to Master Salt-march 1. WHether that man be in his perfest senses who questions another for answering that which himselfe first started Answer yes Master C. D. of Arts if the Answers be seditious you may be questioned when you abuse the Parliament or any other Authority by your scandals your Answer will not be taken jure divino except you can Answer men out of their senses 2. Whether an Independant Congregation be not as very a Bull in the Church as an Independant Army in the Common-wealth Answer yes the more silly they that call either of them so to asperse them and if C. D. had not beene both Calfe and Dunce he would never have writ so many Bulls though he speake little other language so farre as men submit to Order they are not Independant 3. Whether he be not the man that makes the faction who extols the Independant Army by him so called as doing so much good c. wherein others have done as much or more Answer the Catch-dolt might have said who and wherein tell us a president and wee shall extoll them as much nor doe any of those Worthies who have bin so active thinke it any disparagement when they heare it said that this Army hath done extraordinary things to say many Armies have done worthily but this excells them all will not be to the disparagement of any but like this silly Master of Arts who will never have the wit to be his Arts-Master to traduce their proceedings and call it faction to commend them for the good they have done us averring others to have done as much or more surely this must proceed from a Malignant humour and needs launcing lest it swell big and grow to be a Carbuncle in the Common-wealth 4. Whether if the Army be reproachfully called Independants he that is the Author of the Passages be not the man that reproacheth them being the first that called them the Independant Army Answer he is either very ignorant or hypocriticall for that reproach was cast upon them long before and it is remembred what the turne coat said not long since himselfe though now he would like the Cameleon seeme to change his complexion into other colours 5. Whether this Author be such an Ignoramus as not to know that some Members of the Parliament favour the Independants and some Members of the Assembly be Independants though the way and model of the Independants it 's true was never yet made knowne to the Parliament nor to the Assembly nor perhaps ever will be Answer one part of this Quaere compared with an other and all with the second of his owne will afford Bulls good store without either heads or tailes except the Monster become abroad to shew us some new Hocus-pocus tricks to act which though he would be knavish yet is too much a foole to attaine it high enough 6. Whether it be not fit to question this Pamphleter Answer truely it is to little purpose to question Novello-Mastix because the Dunce is distracted it is better to reduce his senses first in Bedlam and try if that will bring him to his wits if not then I know no reason but that he may be admitted a Brother of Gotham-Colledge during his infirmity and if he prove incurable then let him never be without the Cap and Bauble FINIS
