see_v that_o i_o be_o herein_o mistake_v and_o out_o of_o the_o way_n second_o as_o touch_v my_o judgement_n herein_o i_o do_v affirm_v and_o that_o in_o truth_n god_n know_v i_o lie_v not_o i_o honest_o and_o fair_o acquaint_v my_o now_o reproacher_n what_o i_o be_v in_o my_o judgement_n as_o to_o this_o very_a point_n when_o they_o first_o discover_v a_o inclination_n to_o call_v i_o to_o take_v the_o pastoral_a charge_n of_o their_o soul_n about_o this_o they_o and_o i_o have_v several_a occasional_a discourse_v pro._n and_o con._n for_o and_o against_o it_o and_o in_o conclusion_n

positive_o affirm_v that_o i_o never_o in_o my_o life_n have_v any_o prejudice_n against_o mr._n baxter_n save_v only_o to_o dislike_v and_o caution_n my_o flock_n against_o some_o notion_n of_o he_o wherein_o i_o conceive_v he_o to_o be_v heterodox_n in_o the_o foundation_n principle_n of_o justification_n i_o tell_v my_o auditory_a as_o plain_o as_o i_o can_v speak_v that_o in_o mention_v mr._n

to_o take_v notice_n thereof_o and_o to_o caution_n my_o hearer_n who_o have_v his_o book_n to_o beware_v of_o such_o notion_n and_o what_o i_o do_v herein_o i_o do_v it_o god_n and_o my_o

mr._n baxter_n be_v damn_a in_o hell_n i_o abhor_v the_o very_a hear_n or_o thought_n of_o such_o a_o thing_n neither_o dare_v any_o one_o live_v except_o a_o cauterize_v and_o brazen_a face_a sinner_n to_o charge_v such_o a_o slander_n on_o i_o so_o far_o be_v i_o from_o utter_v such_o a_o uncharitable_a i_o may_v say_v infernal_a expression_n that_o i_o plain_o speak_v the_o contrary_a as_o my_o judgement_n of_o he_o declare_v that_o i_o hope_v mr._n baxter_n be_v with_o christ_n in_o glory_n and_o that_o i_o dare_v to_o think_v no_o otherwise_o as_o for_o what_o of_o corruption_n which_o be_v mix_v with_o his_o write_n i_o tell_v my_o auditory_a i_o look_v on_o that_o as_o a_o part_n of_o the_o wood_n hay_o and_o stubble_n intend_v by_o the_o apostle_n in_o 1_o cor._n 3.12_o of_o which_o mr._n baxter_n will_v i_o doubt_v not_o suffer_v the_o loss_n in_o the_o great_a day_n though_o he_o himself_z be_v save_v he_o hold_v christ_n the_o foundation_n firm_a and_o steadfast_a to_o the_o end_n as_o in_o charity_n i_o hope_v he_o do_v the_o three_o branch_n of_o the_o charge_n be_v that_o i_o affirm_v that_o christ_n have_v but_o two_o or_o three_o right_a gospel_n minister_n who_o preach_v christ_n true_o in_o and_o about_o london_n to_o this_o i_o answer_v in_o the_o negative_a viz._n that_o i_o never_o think_v or_o speak_v such_o a_o thing_n either_o in_o or_o out_o of_o the_o pulpit_n in_o all_o my_o life_n the_o occasion_n of_o this_o slander_n be_v this_o i_o be_v in_o a_o sermon_n bewail_v the_o small_a number_n of_o right_a gospel_n preacher_n at_o which_o time_n and_o on_o which_o occasion_n i_o say_v that_o a_o great_a many_o preach_v up_o the_o pope_n that_o 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d that_o man_n of_o sin_n other_o say_v i_o preach_v up_o the_o national_a hierarchy_n and_o its_o interest_n instead_o of_o the_o kingdom_n of_o christ_n other_o there_o be_v say_v i_o who_o preach_v up_o moses_n and_o obedience_n to_o his_o do_v and_o live_v in_o the_o room_n of_o christ_n mediatorial_n spotless_a righteousness_n for_o justification_n and_o life_n so_o that_o in_o comparison_n it_o be_v undeniable_o true_a that_o christ_n have_v but_o few_o who_o preach_v he_o and_o his_o immaculate_a righteousness_n as_o the_o only_a meritorious_a and_o procure_a cause_n of_o justification_n and_o salvation_n this_o be_v what_o i_o say_v then_o and_o true_o i_o see_v but_o small_a reason_n to_o think_v or_o say_v otherwise_o i_o question_v not_o but_o the_o orthodox_n in_o and_z about_o london_n will_v ready_o harmonise_v with_o i_o herein_o but_o that_o i_o do_v limit_v the_o true_a minister_n of_o christ_n to_o any_o certain_a definite_a number_n or_o that_o i_o mention_v any_o minister_n name_n by_o way_n of_o distinction_n i_o utter_o deny_v and_o i_o have_v very_o good_a reason_n to_o judge_v it_o no_o breach_n of_o the_o law_n of_o charity_n to_o believe_v that_o the_o secret_a design_n of_o the_o reporter_n hereof_o be_v to_o incense_v and_o provoke_v the_o spirit_n of_o godly_a minister_n and_o their_o respective_a congregation_n against_o i_o and_o hereby_o to_o prepare_v they_o for_o a_o more_o facile_a and_o ready_a reception_n of_o the_o other_o black_a and_o scandalous_a reproach_n which_o be_v to_o be_v bring_v on_o the_o stage_n on_o purpose_n to_o do_v my_o business_n as_o one_o of_o their_o confederate_n be_v hear_v to_o say_v he_o will_v do_v i_o come_v to_o the_o four_o branch_n of_o the_o charge_n which_o be_v that_o i_o shall_v bid_v a_o public_a challenge_n to_o mr._n williams_n and_o the_o rest_n of_o mr._n baxters_n follower_n to_o dispute_v certain_a position_n hold_v and_o assert_v by_o mr._n baxter_n and_o those_o who_o go_v his_o way_n to_o which_o i_o reply_v that_o this_o be_v as_o true_a as_o the_o rest_n and_o do_v i_o be_o very_o sure_a proceed_v from_o the_o same_o lie_a spirit_n which_o coin_v and_o forge_v their_o other_o lie_v story_n against_o i_o the_o design_n whereof_o be_v not_o only_o to_o corroborate_v that_o their_o design_n in_o its_o foundation_n but_o also_o to_o draw_v over_o mr._n williams_n and_z other_o who_o they_o know_v to_o be_v impatient_a to_o hear_v any_o opposition_n give_v to_o any_o notion_n of_o mr._n baxter_n to_o they_o to_o help_v and_o encourage_v they_o to_o break_v that_o church_n whereof_o themselves_o be_v a_o essential_a part_n and_o to_o force_v my_o flight_n from_o my_o station_n in_o c._n to_o which_o their_o own_o elect_v voice_n call_v i_o the_o occasion_n of_o this_o slander_n be_v thus_o i_o do_v one_o day_n in_o preach_v lie_v down_o this_o position_n viz._n that_o a_o elect_a sinner_n be_v in_o effectual_a call_v free_o justify_v from_o all_o charge_n of_o sin_n both_o original_a and_o actual_a by_o the_o alone_a mediatorial_n righteousness_n of_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n free_o impute_v by_o god_n and_o that_o without_o any_o regard_n have_v to_o any_o condition_n perform_v by_o or_o qualification_n inhere_v in_o the_o person_n of_o the_o sinner_n as_o con_v cause_n with_o christ_n in_o justification_n this_o say_v i_o be_v a_o truth_n so_o clear_o lay_v down_o and_o assert_v in_o the_o gospel_n and_o so_o back_v with_o the_o witness_n of_o god_n spirit_n in_o the_o heart_n of_o all_o assure_a believer_n that_o all_o the_o disputer_n in_o the_o world_n who_o oppose_v the_o same_o will_v never_o be_v able_a to_o overthrow_v it_o be_v their_o wit_n and_o part_n never_o so_o sharp_a and_o admire_a and_o whether_o i_o be_v mistake_v herein_o i_o free_o appeal_v to_o the_o judgement_n and_o determination_n of_o all_o orthodox_n protestant_n who_o in_o the_o point_n of_o justification_n be_v not_o more_o or_o less_o taint_v with_o the_o ropish_a

i_o do_v most_o solemn_o profess_v i_o never_o speak_v such_o a_o thing_n either_o in_o or_o out_o of_o the_o pulpit_n the_o five_o and_o last_o branch_n of_o the_o black_a charge_n bring_v in_o
