By Sr. George Mackenzie The Moral History of Frugality By Sr. George Mackenzie THE Dr. in●imates that his Answerer who writes with great triumph and assurance thinks it unpardonable in him P. 1. who hath been so weak by a figure I suppose as to confess he is not infallible ever to believe his own senses again Now if the Dr. thinks it decent to recant in ruffling language and to propose his new opinions in such a strein of confidence and defiance he may enjoy his own humour for me I have once told him my mind about it and shall give him no farther trouble on that account And if he likes it he may go on and represent some of those men who not long since stood upon the same bottom with him and own'd the same Principles only with less heat and violence by all the spightful characters and insinuations he can and at the same time tell the world he is not angry and complain of rage and venom changing and confining friendships to a Party But methinks he might have spared the Answerer for writing with triumph and assurance if he had done so except the Dr. can shew his Patent that no body may write so but himself And I will forgive him if he can find any thing in my Answer or Postscript comparable to that Triumphant conclusion of his Vindication If he his Answerer will promise to examine them his arguments well before he answers I shall expect to hear no more of him Now it is a little of the thickest for a man to boast at this rate and at the same time to charge his Answerer with writing with Triumph and Assurance In like manner he might have spared the reflexion that follows he tel s me he shall beg leave to follow his own method and justifie what he hath said in the same order he hath aid it in And then adds his his Answerers altering of which has more of art than honesty in it Now if I had misrepresented his Arguments or perverted the sense of them or drawn from them any odious or uncharitable inferences and with great honesty insinuated that he did not believe a Providence or had inclinations to Rome Vindic. P. 48. 58. there might have been some colour for this reflexion But if he hath notoriously done all these himself as will plainly appear in the following discourse then his own reflexion fastens upon him and he had better have let it alone for his own sake at least tho it had been civil enough for his Answerer But some men are very free of their challenges But when they are answer'd they are up in the boughs and out of all bounds the Drs. Hypothesis was answer'd and there is the plain Dishonesty of the business But as for his Method and Order 't is all one to me he may take which he likes best to justifie his Doctrines and Argum●nts provided he will but justifie them but that he will not do and as yet he hath not done as will appear upon examining what he offers in his vindication The Dr. begins wi h a Proof from the Observator P. 2. an admirable Historian to fetch an instance from T●tle of an Usurper Preface if he please in his next he may quote Mercurius Politicus or the London Diurnal but this pretended Letter of King James hath already been so well examin'd by a lea●ned Author that I have no occasion to concern my self any further with it But if it were admitted to be true and not suppositions There is a great deal of difference between the judgment of King James as it is expressed in that Letter and the Doctors King James expresseth it with words of abatement and caution you have stumbled upon the threshold of that opinion which makes God the Author of sin in saying upon the matter that even Tyranny is Gods Authority and again you say upon the matter But the Doctor says it is as sure as can be and hopes he may be allow'd to believe his own senses As if King James might not have eyes and senses as well as the Doctor But what King James could not did not charge directly upon the Convocation the Doctor plainly declares to be the sense of it and hath made it the foundation both of his freedom of thinking and of writing a Book Now suppose King James did conceive the expressions of the Convocation had such a tendency Case of Alleg. Preface and that upon the matter they might mean so which
