reproach that there was no Proof made of Gunters being a Captain and he had reason to believe that he was no Gent. that he was confident no Gent. in England would either spit in the face of a Minister or find no other way to shift off the shame and punishment but by telling a lie and finally that the Official had deserved to be censured for placing such a Jack-Gentleman as this above all the Ministers at the publique meeting of a Clergy These were the words then spoken by that Reverend Prelate of this particular man and not in any such general terms as our Author hath presented them in both Editions And for the further proof of this I shall give these reasons First that although he desire not to blazon himself yet he hath too much in him of the blood of the antient Gentry to lay any such disparagement or contempt upon them And 2ly That no such thing was articled or insisted on by the House of Commons in their impeachment brought against him In which Impeachment being many months in hammering and liberty given to all manner of persons to inform against him they would certainly have pitched on this as a matter of most general concernment to them if any proof could possibly have been produced to make good the charge And with this Declaratiō of the true State of the businesse I hope the Reader will be satisfied though our Author be not the Impeachment being printed by an Order of the House of Commons and easie to be seen by any who desires to see it With greater zeal but with as mischievous intention c. Addend ad Page 36. l. 6. as for that Cause Asinius called it Keckerman building on some words of Seneca in his book De Ira placeth the Patavinitie imputed to him in this point alone and hereunto that of Fabius an old Latin writer gives a very good ground who much commends that lactea ubertas that milky redundance or overflowing of Style which he noted in him But if our Author as some of our modern Criticks doe conceive this Patavinity to consist rather in some phrases which savoured more of the Paduan than the Roman Idiome yet neither are they so frequent nor so much affected nor of such strange originations as to give just cause to any but such severe censurers as Asinus was to except against him Small comfort can our Author find from this Patavinity to justifie that long Catalogue of Ourlandish and new-minted words which is subjoyned unto the end of the Observations And for the obsolete words which were found in Salust c.

The Observator will produce when required of him But that I may be free from his importunities at another time and that I be not chidden now with a quid gaudia nostra moraris for delaying his contentment so much and so presently desired I shall give him both the names and words of some of that party to justifie all that was said of them by the Observator And first we will begin with Calvin the father and founder of the Sect and he tells us thus Illud toties a Chrysostomo repetitum repudiari necesse est quem trahit volentem trahit quo insinuat deminum porrecta tantum manu expectare an suo auxilio juvari nobis adlubescat So he in the second of his Institutions cap. 3. Those words saith he so often repeated by Chrysostom viz. That God draws none but such as are willing to go are to be condemned By which he intimates that God expecteth only with an outstretched and ready arm whether we be willing to accept of his help or not In which though Calvin doth not express clearly that good Fathers meaning yet he plainly doth shew his own insinuating that God draws men forcibly and against their own will to his Heavenly Kingdome Gomarus one of later date and a chief Stickler in these controversies comes up more fully to the words and desire of the Pamphleter For putting the question in this manner An gratia haec detur vi irresistibili id est effiicaci operatione Dei ita ut voluntas ejus qui regeneratur facultatem non habeat illi resistendi he answereth presently Credo profiteor ita esse The question is whether the grace of God be given in an irresistable manner that is to say with such an efficacious operation that the will of him who is to be regenerated hath not rhe power to make resistance and then the answer follows thus I believe and professe it to be so So he in his Declaration Page 20. Peter Martyr a more moderate man than the most amongst them in his Common place de libero Arbitrio hath resolved it thus Per absurdum sane est ut ad immutationem seu regenerationem aliquid active conferemus quandoquidem nemo quicquam agit ad seipsum generandum Quod si verum est in eis ●hy sicis atque carnalibus quanto magis est dandum in Spiritualibus quae à nostris vi●ibus longius distent It is very absurd saith he to think that we contribute any thing activly in our Regeneration considering that we are able to doe nothing towards our Generation And if it be so in these natural and carnal Acts how much more must we grant it to be so in Spiritual Actions which are more beyond the reach of our power The whole body of the Calvinists or Contra-Remonstrants in their Collatio Hagiensis before mentioned have affirmed as much ascribing no more unto a man in the work of his own Regeneration or in the raising of himself from the death of sin to the life of righteousnesse than they ascribe unto him in his Generation to the life of Nature or in his Resurrection from the dead to the life eternal For thus say they Sicut ad nativitatem suam nemo de suo quicquam confert neque ad sui excitationem ex mortuis nemo quicquam adfert de suo Ita etiam ad conversionem suam nemo homo quicquam confert sed est purum putum opus ejus gratiae Dei in Christo quae in nobis operatur non tantum potentiam credendi sed etiam fidem ipsum Put this together and then tell me whether the rigid sort of Calvinians do not hold and teach that a man is drawn forcibly and irresistably with the Cords of Grace in the work of conversion without contributing any thing to or towards his own Eternity Nay Dontelock goeth further yet and is so far from ascribing any thing to man in order to his own salvation that he counts all his best endeavours which tend that way to be vain and fruitlesse and to conduce more to his hurt than benefit before Faith and the Spirit of Regeneration by irresistable operations So I understand his meaning are iufused into him Concludimus omnem zelum omnemque curam quam promovendae saluti suae h●mines adhibent variam frustraneam
