and Good Temper as any Man yet I will never be bribed to a faint-hearted Relinquishing of the Truth No I will by the Divine Aid vindicate the Religion of the New Testament and the Faith of the Christian Church in all ages and that with open face And particularly as to what I last writ and publish'd I will make it stand the shock of the most daring Socinian in Christendom But to let these Gentlemen see that I am no Man of Contention I declare to them that I am not averse from complying with their Offers if they be Sincere and in Good Earnest and if they resolve not to violate their own Articles of Peace I will forgive their Colts teeth as this pleasant Gentleman words it if for the future they use not as they have done in most of their Writings those of the Bear And why indeed should I contend with these Catholick and Orthodox Men for that is the Stile now in their last Print Who will fall out with those that profess Agreement with the Catholick Church But especially the Title of Orthodox which they so abhorr'd is much courted by this Author as the Reader cannot but observe Which may be an occasion to us to think that these Persons are inclined to do something to deserve that Name It is my hearty Prayer and Wish that they may shew themselves to be of this number And I promise them thus far to yield to the Terms of Peace that if they renew not the Quarrel and assault me not afresh this shall be our Last Campagne and so here is an End to our Debates and Rencounters ERRATA PAge 8.

and Argument because these make against him Yea he makes the Blessed Apostle contradict himself meerly to contradict me And I would further remark that immediately after he had quoted those foresaid words of the Apostle he adds THEREFORE very little is said in this Epistle for explaining any part of the Great Mystery of Salvation and yet before he was against all Mysteries in Christistianity contain'd in the Gospel p. 131. And presently after The same holds in all the other Epistles and THEREFORE the Epistles seem'd not to me to be the properest part of Scripture he said before they were not at all proper to give us the Foundation p. 132. He complains of a therefore of mine where there is no cause at all for it p. III. but here is such a pair of Therefores as never was heard of in any Age and be sure never will be unless it be in his Writings It was St. Paul's way to instruct the Corinthians in the plain Principles of Christianity he took care to settle them in the Foundation seeing they were not fit at that time for any considerable Superstructure and therefore saith our Vindicator we must not expect to meet with any such Principles in this Epstle or in any others There are several people in that Great Brick House he wots of at the lower end of Moorfields that never bid for that place by talking so ravingly Whether the Childrens Crying and Bawling or the M●thers Unkindnesses to him have put him into these disorders I shall not determine but the poor Animal is certainly much shatter'd and 't is to be fear'd belongs to the Hospital of the Incurable Then he proceeds p. 138 139. to mention my taking notice of his feigned ground of Writing the Epistles viz. because the Fundamental Articles are mix'd here with other Truths But having nothing to rejoyn he falls to Railing a fault which he imputes to me but is peculiar to himself And as for what I said of Mixture that those things which are promicuously put together are capable of being distinguish'd which he boggles at there is an Example of it in one he knows very well a Committee man and a Vindicator are mix'd together but there is a possibility of distinguishing yea of separating the former from the latter the Honorable from the Vile though 't is true some things are so mix'd in some persons that they will never admit of a separation as a Chamber-Quack and an Abhorrer of Universities or thus an Innovator and a Creed-Hater There is no parting of these In the same place he thinks it Witty to reflect twice on my Degree in the University as if B. D. were as Contemptible as A B C which is his own Character He jogs on still p. 140 141 c. sometimes coyning matter and fastning it upon me sometimes impertinently asking of Questions and requiring Answers and every where falling into ridiculous Impertinencies and weak reasonings And what else could be expected from a Man that had all his days been us'd to the Tattle of Brats and Nurslings and hath thereby perfectly learn'd all their humors especially as I observ'd before their impertinent Queries and troublesome Babblings Thus our Old Tutour is twice a Child though he doats so extremely that he can't see it but verily perswades himself that all he hath writ against me is Strong and Nervous and like what he dictates to his Young Masters must not be examin'd and censured Only here it is to be noted that what he saith p. 145. concerning Popular Haranguing is a saucy Reflection on the Chiefest and most Eminent of the Clergy of our Church whose constant employment hath been that which he contemptuously calls Popular Haranguing and in other places Pulpit-Oratory i. e. Preaching Such is his Spleen against this Evangelical Institution and the Ministers of it though he makes a shew of being a Christian. But he that will bespatter the Universities and Academick Learning and expunge the Chiefest Articles of Religion out of the Bible will not stop at any thing But our Penny-Post is upon the hoof still p. 146 147 c. and his Quill is as Itinerant as himself and like its Owner fixes no where hath no Habitation Sometimes he quotes what I have said and misinterprets it at other times to fill up his book and to make it bulky he gives you large shivers out of his own Writings for he thinks none are so good as they and that 's the reason he never quotes an Author unless it be to disparage him He trifles to a prodigy and according to his constant Method he never fails at the close of a Paragraph to wind up all with Railing his Mother-tongue But wondrous it is to see what work he makes p. 156. where the Reader will be puzzel'd to tell whether his Falshood or his Weakness be greater He complains that I call him a Betrayer of Christianity and a Contemner of the Epistles because he did not out of them name Satisfaction Whereas the Re●der will find if he thinks fit to consult my Socinianism Unmask'd that I treat of his Contempt of the Epistles in one Chapter and of his refusing to use the word Satisfaction in an other And I mention his not naming of Christ's Satisfying for us on no other account but this that it argues he is a favourer of Socinianism because when he professedly and designedly enumerates the Advantages of our Saviour's Coming he speaks not of his making Satisfaction for us This is the true and plain account of the matter whence it is obvious to take notice of his willful violation of Truth and Sincerity He jumps from the Third Chapter of my Book to the Seventh to form a Falshood against me He most untruly and perversly represents the thing he speaks of and there is no shadow of Verity in what he saith So that the Reader is sufficiently caution'd against depending upon his word for the future and he must always suppose him to be an arrant Masker But he is as Silly as he is False for in the same place to excuse himself as to his not mentioning of Satisfaction he saith there is not any such word in any one of the Epistles or other Books of the New Testament in his Bible as Satisfying or Satisfaction made by our Saviour and so he could not put it into his Christianity as delivered in the Scripture Very sound and solid It being such a Noble Strain of Logick and Reason we will form it into a Syllogism and leave it as Mr. Lock 's Memorial to posterity It is briefly thus If there be no such word as Satisfaction in any of the books of the New Testament it cannot be put into Christianity as delivered in the Scripture But there is no such word as Satisfaction in any of the Books of the New Testament Ergo it can't be put into Christianity as delivered in the Scripture Get thee gone for a Cunning Disputant thou hast not thy fellow I verily believe
