have seen have so little of Charity or Civility in them to speak most gently that I conceive it will be no wrong to the Reader or to him to let them dye nor will Himself I believe think fit to bring them into the light Next then shall follow A Letter of Mr. B. to Col. A. Jun. 53. NOble Sir You are a Gentleman and a Scliolar and in both names I have reason to expect courtesy from you in a fair perusall of the enclosed that my cause may not be made worse than it is by misapprehension The sum of the letter to which here is a Reply is but this To administer the Sacrament to the wicked as such is many wayes unlawfull You administer the Sacrament to the wicked as such Therefore c.

What Passover then did Christ eat the night before Not the Lamb but unleavened Bread and bitter herbs After that followed the Post●oenium wherein the Holy Sacrament was instituted This I shall make out further at our Meeting and you shall see we may be very confident in some opinions without any true ground I am Sir Your very humble servant C. B. Thus did the poor man labour to make his peace with the Adversary but in vain and being now weary of this endless controversy he sought after some refreshment in the company of some Ministers his friends not very remote and endevoured to hold a meeting with them at some convenient times for mutual conference and comfort And that the Meeting might not be obnoxious to the Censure of such as watch for advantages He sent to Mr. To. the following paper which although it came not to the effect therein particularly mentioned yet hath attained its general end and made way for the Lecture now begun among us and unless the people be over-cold in their Affection to the lawfull Preachers or themselves some of them afraid to do their duty it is like to continue The paper mentioned with Mr. T 's answer is not ashamed here to offer it self to the Candid Readers view Amica Collatio 1. † De Deo De Homine 2.
