Psal 56.5 Every day they wrest my words all their thoughts are against mee for evill Psal 63.11 The mouth of them that speake lies shall be stopped Prov. 3.29 Devise not evill against thy neighbour seeing he dwelleth securely by thee Accusamus saepè quod nos facimus Desertè in aliorum vitia invehimur Cum tua praevideas oculis mala lippus inunctis Cur in amicorum vitiis tam cernis acutìm Horat. OXFORD Printed in the yeare 1646. READER THE ensuing narration of my Brother was directed to me some moneths since but by reason of the great distance betweene him and me and my unsetlednesse of habitation it came to my hands but very lately else thou hadst seene it sooner though I am sorry thou hast the sight of it or mine at all in this respect that I feare the divisions of Reuben may encrease the thoughts of thy heart Not that I desire to scatter in Israel or divide in Jacob we to him by whom offences come would to God they were cut off that trouble thee my purpose is rather to compose and unite to that end I here offer this piece of truth to make up the breach made by the untruths of Master Edwards and his busie Pettifoggers In one of his Canonicall Epistles for he thinkes Gangrana is authenticke there thou shalt find Master Maddocks and my selfe with a viper on our hands Act. 28.1 2 3 4. some mens bookes are like the Iland of Melita abounding with such kind of venemous creatures And though the barbarous people may expect our swelling and sinking the downefall and ruine of our reputation by the poysoning of our name and credit yet I doubt not but to shake off this banefull beast without any losse of life or hurt of health at all I once thought to have spread a bigger plaister for my owne sore but since my brothers salve is enough for his owne wound and mine I shall contract but some answer must be put into this infamous Declaration lest the Knights of the Post be impannell'd and I found guilty of the heinous crime laid against mee Reader thou shalt be judge and I will open the matter before thee as truly as if I had kissed the Booke When the seige lay before Sherbourne Castle in Dorsetshire I went to see Poole where by the importunity of some freinds I preached August 8. 1645. Captaine Throttle sometime a Parson Vicar or Curate was offended at my Sermon pretending that blasphemy which S. F. takes for granted to be true and confidently commends it to a Credulous Classicall Canonicall Church-man as a considerable ingredient for the Gangraemist to make up his tumifying volume But that thou mayest know the certaintie of those things whereof thou hast beene mis-inform'd and that it may appeare the offence was taken through the mistaking of Captaine Throttle and not given by my discourse I shall recite onely that passage of his groundlesse exception laying it at thy feet and leaving it before the barre Having occasion to speake of the body of sin and death as the great hindrance of the Saints comfort and withall holding forth their remedy and recovery by Christ Rom. 7. I brought in Paul personating a sad soule in a distressed condition Rom. 7.14 15 24. and then proposed him as a patterne of their rejoyceing upon his ground v. 25. I say as then I did that the children of God in the Ecclipse of Christ may complaine of that in themselves i. the body of sin and death from which they are delivered by Christ in respect of their justification of which I then spake and wherewith I bounded that part of my discourse and did the Saints allwayes remember their deliverance from sin by Jesus Christ they would not have that cause of complaining in them which otherwise they will have ariseing from and tending to the bondage of their spirits I endeavoured to illustrate the thing and explaine my meaning by a paralell scripture Psalm 43. Psalm 43.5 when the soule doth act upon and trust in the goodnesse and grace of God by faith in Christ then it is free from disquietnesse the utmost of my folly was to prove David and Paul to have but one lippe and speake the same language which is common to the Saints this is the weakenesse wherewith I charged Paul Truely I never denyed that Paul Rom. 3.23 Eph. 2.3 or any other Saint had a body of sinne about them but in the handling the same particular I proved all the sonnes and daughters of Adam to be sinners and to have need of Christ Reader I expose my selfe to thy censure Say whether having granted all men to be sinners in Adam and concluded the old man to be a great hinderer of the Saints comfort and peace thou thinkest I should in the same breath deny any such thing as a body of sinne and death to be in the godly in any sense but if thou imputest mistake or forgetfullnesse to me yet I have another string to my bow Master Bromhill a preacher then in Poole who tooke the notes of my Sermon and afterward searched them beare me witnesse before many witnesses that he found no such thing either in his memory or notes He desired me then to give Captaine Throttle a meeting in private which I consented unto the place appointed was at Master Gundrye's house who was then Preacher at Dorchester there I staid waiting his comming to give him satisfaction in a loving and Christian-like way Master Bromhill after long delay went to him but could not prevaile to bring him then I declared my utter detestation of that horrid blasphemy of which I am accused in the presence of Master Gundrye and Master Hussey both of them Preachers and sober minded men All this would not suffice the urgency of freinds prevailed with me to preach againe the next day being Sabboth-day that I might give publicke satisfaction then I openly in the Pulpit disclaim'd that new borne blasphemy batched in Captaine Throttle's fancy nor will I ever owne the brats of other mens braines I told the people also that I was resolved not to turne my backe upon their Towne till I had given and received some satisfaction concerning this matter on the morrow I expected againe sought an opportunity to conferre with this Commander but could not obtaine it but the next day when I was taking my leave of the Major of the Towne he comes in with strange jealousies and suspicions of mid-night preaching and Sacraments which I never so much as dream't of but was as ignorant of such doings in Poole as
