A STOP TO A LYING PAMPHLET Falsly Called Truths Plea for Infants Lately Published by Mr. Alexander Kellie in Answer to a Booke lately published Intituled Infants Baptism Disproved In which Pamphlet his very many Lyes and Eaylings not becoming a man meerly Civil much lesse a Minister of Christ as he pretends are hereby manifest By JER IVES Cheesmonger The mouth of him that speaketh Lyes shall be stopped Psalm 63.11 Should thy Lyes make men hold their peace And when thou mockest shall no man make thee ashamed Job 11.3 The proud have forged a Lye against me Psalm 119.69 And the Prophet that speaketh Lyes he is the taile Esay 9.15 Holding faith and a good conscience which some have put away and concerning faith have made shipwracke of whom is Hymeneus and ALEXANDER c. 1 Tim. 1.19 20. LONDON Printed for the Author 1656. TO THE READER READER THese ensuing lines are sent out after a lying Pamphlet that so thou mightst apprehend it and bring it to its deserved judgement and that thou mayest know it when thou meetest with it first take notice of its name which is Truths Plea for Infants Little would a Booke of this name be suspected to have more Lyes in it then it contains sheets But herein it s much like the Pharisees Cups that were clean without but foule within And this thou wilt find it to be if thou shalt compare my Book and his Answer together and observe the places in both to which I shall refer thee which is all I shall doe at this time This if I should never doe any more would be enough to keep the judgement of a wise man from being touched with such an unclean thing And truly if James speaks true that A good fountaine cannot send forth sweet water and bitter then the manifest untruths in the Booke doe plainly shew how little the Author was inspired with the Spirit of truth which Christ saith John 16.13 will lead into ALL truth And if this shall not be thought a sufficient Answer to the whole I doe assure thee If Mr. Kellie will come in publick with his Booke in his hand I will meet him if he dares and shew him before as many Scholars as he pleases of his own judgement that there is not any thing in my Booke because he talkes of my not knowing my Accidence the Printers errors excepted which his Booke is not free from but I shall make appear to be according to their own Rules and I shall also before the same men at the same time show him how much he hath swerved from the known Rules of the Schooles and Christianity as though he were a stranger to both as I have in part already done in divers places of my fore-mentioned Booke from which he hath not so much as endeavoured to clear himselfe Thus hoping thou wilt take this in good part I subscribe my selfe Thy Friend so far as thou art the Truths Jer Ives A STOP TO A Lying Pamphlet FALSELY CALLED Truths Plea for Infants SINCE my present designe is to shew the Lyes and Scurrilous Language of Mr. Kellie his book falsly called Truths Plea for Infants I shall first begin with his Lyes and they may be called Legions for they are many Among which take these that follow The first that I shall mention is in the latter end of his Epistle to the Reader where he excuseth his impertinencies by telling his Reader that He was to pursue me as a Thief with Hue and Cry over hedge and ditch And by this he would make him believe that I in my Book went out of the Road in answering a Paper he sent to my house which is false as my whole Book will declare wherein I set down all his Arguments impartially in a different Letter and Answer them one by one that the Reader might know what was mine and what was his which he did not doe in his Reply How then went I out of the Road like a Thief Again Why did not he shew me and his Readers in what Page I did break the bounds of Discourse that so he might have justified his breaking the hedge to goe after me Doth not this plainly shew that I kept the road and that he broke over hedge and ditch because he was afraid to meet with me I shall therefore appeale to all men who know what method is whether my Book in Answer to his Paper be not more methodicall then his Reply The second Lye I shall mention is in the 11 line of his Answer to my Epistle where he saith that I cast dirt upon the fathers because I mention in my Epistle some of their Errours How can this be casting dirt upon them unlesse they were not guilty of such errors as I charge upon them Now therefore he must needs be a Lyer in saying I throw dirt upon the fathers when I say nothing of them but what he knowes to be true unlesse he be ignorant of their Writings The third Lye I shall mention is that in the 12 line of his Answer to my Epistle where he saith that I doe not shew in what places to find their errors which is false for except two or three of the Fathers whose errors were generally known I doe mention the Books Chapters or Pages wherein the errors I charge them with may be found as any one may see that reads over the Epistle to my Book The fourth Lye that I shall mention is that in the 21 22 line of his Answer to my Epistle he saith that I doe slander GODLY learned men as men minding their profits and credits more then the truth This is false for I dare not think much lesse write any such thing of GODLY learned men as to think that they mind their profits and credits more then truth no I have not so learned Christ But indeed I said the reason why the learned did not find out the right way in the midst of these many ways was because of their pride on the one hand or profit on the other Now doth this slander the GODLY learned judge I pray and see whether I say any such thing in all my Epistle I always thought the GODLY learned to be but a few in comparison to the vast number of the learned I likewise believe the GODLY learned are such as would with that blessed and godly Apostle Paul count all things drosse and dung that they might win Christ The fifth Lye I shall mention is found about the middle of the 2 page of his Book wherein he saith that I cite some Scriptures of all Nations but therein he saith I am no noble Berean as I would make men believe in the beginning of my Epistle His reason is Because he saith if you will believe him that I doe not give one place set down where to find those Scriptures This is also a notorious untruth for both the Chapters and Verses are set down where to find every Text mentioned upon that occasion as
