duplye_n of_o the_o minister_n &_o professor_n of_o aberdene_n to_o the_o second_o answer_n of_o some_o reverend_a brethren_n concern_v the_o late_a covenant_n if_o thou_o take_v forth_o the_o

hear_v the_o true_a relation_n of_o our_o proceed_n and_o carriage_n towards_o those_o two_o reverend_a brethren_n who_o come_v late_o hither_o to_o recommend_v to_o we_o and_o our_o people_n the_o late_a covenant_n we_o declare_v therefore_o to_o you_o that_o we_o hear_v of_o their_o come_n and_o intention_n and_o be_v of_o a_o contrary_a mind_n resolve_v that_o before_o we_o shall_v give_v consent_n that_o they_o shall_v preach_v to_o our_o people_n we_o will_v propone_v to_o they_o by_o way_n of_o certain_a demand_n the_o chief_a reason_n which_o make_v we_o to_o be_v averse_a from_o their_o proceed_n promise_v to_o admit_v they_o to_o our_o pulpit_n if_o they_o shall_v give_v we_o satisfaction_n concern_v the_o late_a covenant_n we_o intend_v not_o to_o print_v these_o demand_n at_o the_o first_o but_o afterward_o consider_v how_o much_o our_o people_n may_v be_v confirm_v by_o they_o in_o that_o pious_a resolution_n which_o they_o have_v to_o continue_v in_o the_o obedience_n of_o the_o law_n of_o this_o church_n and_o kingdom_n concern_v episcopacy_n and_o those_o thing_n which_o be_v conclude_v in_o pearth_n assembly_n we_o think_v good_a to_o put_v they_o to_o the_o press_n but_o determine_v not_o to_o make_v use_n of_o they_o by_o divulgate_a they_o except_o we_o see_v that_o our_o people_n stand_v in_o present_a need_n of_o they_o which_o indeed_o come_v to_o pass_v for_o upon_o friday_n the_o twenty_o of_o julie_n last_o these_o reverend_a brethren_n come_v to_o this_o town_n and_o have_v that_o same_o night_n receive_v our_o demand_n in_o writ_n they_o return_v their_o answer_n unto_o they_o on_o saturday_n follow_v late_o in_o the_o evening_n but_o they_o come_v not_o to_o our_o hand_n who_o reply_v unto_o they_o until_o sunday_n in_o the_o morning_n neither_o have_v we_o leisure_n to_o read_v or_o consider_v until_o both_o the_o sermon_n be_v end_v in_o our_o church_n wherefore_o we_o do_v meet_v together_o that_o day_n at_o four_o hour_n afternoon_n that_o we_o may_v peruse_v they_o and_o at_o that_o same_o time_n hear_v that_o these_o reverend_a brethren_n have_v preach_v in_o audience_n of_o dyverse_n of_o our_o people_n convean_v in_o the_o court_n of_o a_o noble_a man_n his_o lodging_n not_o have_v obtain_v our_o consent_n thereto_o and_o in_o their_o sermon_n have_v use_v a_o form_n of_o answer_v to_o our_o demand_n which_o they_o do_v publicklie_o read_v affirm_v that_o they_o have_v give_v full_a satisfaction_n to_o we_o in_o a_o write_a copy_n of_o their_o answer_n which_o they_o have_v send_v to_o we_o and_o by_o that_o mean_n have_v labour_v to_o dissuade_v and_o draw_v our_o people_n from_o their_o obedience_n unto_o the_o article_n of_o pearth_n &_o the_o law_n of_o this_o kingdom_n ratify_v they_o we_o know_v how_o insufficient_a their_o answer_n be_v to_o give_v satisfaction_n to_o any_o who_o will_v du_o ponder_v our_o demand_n give_v licence_n to_o the_o printer_n to_o divulgate_v they_o and_o the_o next_o day_n do_v write_v our_o reply_v to_o their_o answer_n intend_v to_o put_v they_o to_o the_o press_n on_o tuesday_n but_o we_o be_v earnest_o entreat_v by_o a_o noble_a man_n to_o send_v back_o to_o they_o the_o copy_n of_o their_o answer_n that_o they_o may_v revise_v and_o perfect_v they_o &_o also_o to_o delay_v the_o print_n of_o our_o reply_v until_o friday_n follow_v which_o we_o willing_o grant_v but_o wherefore_o this_o be_v desire_v of_o we_o you_o may_v conjecture_v see_v they_o neither_o add_v nor_o diminish_v nor_o alter_v any_o thing_n in_o their_o answer_n upon_o the_o next_o friday_n at_o night_n we_o give_v our_o reply_v to_o the_o printer_n and_o to_o these_o reverend_a brethren_n who_o return_v not_o to_o this_o city_n until_o

wit_n on_o tuesday_n the_o fourteen_o of_o august_n that_o be_v eyghteene_a day_n after_o they_o have_v receive_v our_o reply_v what_o success_n these_o brethren_n have_v in_o their_o sermon_n which_o they_o preach_v here_o upon_o two_o several_a lord_n day_n it_o be_v sufficient_o know_v neither_o have_v they_o reason_n to_o talk_v so_o much_o of_o it_o as_o they_o do_v in_o their_o preface_n to_o the_o reader_n the_o first_o of_o these_o day_n some_o few_o who_o be_v think_v to_o be_v that_o way_n incline_v before_o subscryve_v their_o covenant_n but_o the_o next_o lord_n day_n they_o scarce_o prevail_v with_o any_o at_o all_o and_o a_o great_a many_o who_o hear_v they_o both_o these_o day_n profess_a that_o they_o return_v from_o their_o sermon_n more_o averse_a from_o the_o covenant_n than_o they_o be_v before_o now_o good_a reader_n we_o present_v to_o thou_o our_o reply_v to_o their_o second_o answer_n which_o for_o shortness_n cause_n we_o have_v call_v duplye_n we_o pray_v you_o consider_v they_o unpartiallie_o and_o if_o you_o reap_v any_o benefit_n by_o peruse_v they_o let_v it_o not_o be_v ascrybed_n unto_o we_o but_o to_o the_o invincible_a force_n of_o divyne_fw-mi truth_n we_o conclude_v with_o zorobabell_a say_v blessed_n be_v the_o god_n of_o truth_n and_o let_v all_o the_o people_n shout_n and_o say_v great_a be_v truth_n and_o mighty_a above_o all_o thing_n to_o our_o reverend_a brethren_n m_n r_o alexander_n henderson_n and_o m_o r_o david_n dickson_n that_o your_o answer_n reverend_a and_o dear_a brethren_n have_v not_o in_o any_o degree_n satisfy_v we_o we_o impute_v it_o not_o to_o your_o weakness_n who_o we_o know_v to_o be_v able_a man_n and_o much_o exercyse_v in_o the_o matter_n debate_v betwixt_o we_o but_o we_o impute_v it_o to_o the_o weakness_n of_o your_o cause_n and_o to_o that_o inability_n which_o be_v in_o all_o man_n as_o well_o as_o in_o you_o to_o bear_v out_o against_o the_o truth_n we_o be_v sorry_a that_o you_o be_v not_o so_o respective_a and_o favourable_a in_o your_o judgement_n of_o we_o for_o you_o plain_o declare_v in_o your_o preface_n that_o you_o suspect_v we_o of_o prejudice_n and_o that_o for_o two_o reason_n the_o first_o be_v that_o our_o demand_n which_o you_o conceive_v have_v be_v meerelie_o intend_v for_o you_o be_v publish_v before_o your_o come_n in_o print_n as_o also_o that_o our_o reply_v be_v print_v before_o we_o receive_v your_o last_o answer_n to_o they_o whence_o you_o conclude_v that_o we_o be_v rather_o aim_v at_o victory_n move_v thereto_o by_o prejudice_n than_o at_o satisfaction_n by_o search_v of_o the_o truth_n this_o reason_n be_v ground_v upon_o a_o mistake_n for_o although_o our_o demand_n at_o the_o first_o be_v intend_v for_o you_o only_o yet_o afterwards_o we_o resolve_v to_o print_v they_o as_o also_o our_o reply_v the_o print_v whereof_o do_v nowayes_o depend_v upon_o your_o second_o answer_n not_o for_o love_v of_o contention_n nor_o desire_n of_o victory_n god_n know_v but_o for_o such_o reason_n as_o we_o have_v express_v in_o our_o preface_n to_o the_o unpartial_a reader_n who_o we_o hope_v we_o have_v satisfy_v in_o this_o point_n your_o other_o reason_n be_v that_o the_o ground_n of_o your_o answer_n to_o we_o have_v prove_v satisfactory_a to_o other_o who_o for_o age_n and_o learning_n be_v prime_n man_n of_o this_o kingdom_n and_o to_o who_o our_o modesty_n will_v not_o suffer_v we_o to_o prefer_v ourselves_o far_o be_v it_o from_o we_o to_o be_v so_o presumptuous_a as_o to_o prefer_v ourselves_o to_o so_o many_o learned_a and_o worthy_a divyne_n and_o as_o far_o be_v it_o from_o we_o to_o measure_v the_o solidity_n and_o sufficiency_n of_o your_o answer_n by_o the_o hability_n or_o indument_n of_o these_o who_o have_v acquiesce_v in_o they_o if_o this_o your_o reason_n be_v good_a the_o papist_n may_v more_o probable_o accuse_v we_o of_o prejudice_n as_o indeed_o they_o unjustlie_o do_v because_o your_o answer_n to_o our_o argument_n have_v prove_v satisfactory_a to_o many_o thousand_o of_o those_o who_o for_o profundity_n and_o subtility_n of_o wit_n be_v inferior_a to_o none_o of_o the_o world_n but_o we_o regard_v not_o this_o slender_a motive_n remember_v these_o word_n of_o our_o saviour_n i_o
