MAster Bond preaching in Keverne on Matth. 5.8 divides it into 1. the purchase blessednesse 2. the price purity in heart 3 perpetuity they shall see God had the second branch excepted against by Master Sweet the incumbent alledging that purity in heart could not be price of that purchase blessedness Master Bond maintains it a dispute is concluded Many at the time appointed flock to hear it The lists are entred Master Bond proves impar congressus flies to supplications whereinvents many nonsensicalities as the author is credibly informed and the assembly is dismissed Master Bond then did cadere causay Not long after Mr. Bond addresseth by a bold Mercury a certificate of his own abilities and orthodoxnesse unto ten of us Ministers then met at Truro desiring our subscriptions which we denyed because of this dispute writing to them both to meet us at Halston There Master Sweet modestly briefly opens his accusation Master Bond as strenously justifies his second branch and vents this position that the purity in heart and bloud of Christ were one and same thing Our Prolocutour replies thereby he had confounded Logick and Divinity for purity was the effect Christs blood its cause to this effect we most of us spake as the Spirit gave utterance M. B. Justifying some absurdity produce a printed Sermon Then the Author produced Master Bonds book on Romans 12.1 preached before the Committee of assembly of Divines May 20. 1646. Master Ley being chairman and giving Master Bond only a days Preparation as his frontispiece avers Master Bond seemed to deny the book to be his But soon after confessed through want of time he was forced to be beholding to anothers library Thus much for the Rise 2. Progress The Author a while after call'd before Justices to depose what he heard of unsoundnesse in M. Bonds preaching took oath 1. that M.
