To his benevolous Friend Mr. Maximilian Taylor of Sutton SIR YOu remember how George Hammonds Books were spread in my Parish was it not time for me to look to my people I took his Book and by way of preaching answered and confuted its errours when I remember you took notes covetous to enform your own spirit of the truth What you once heard preached you have here printed by your timely encouragement And indeed though I owe more then my self to many friends in and about Sutton as to your noble Cousen Mr. Edward Taylor of Hollingborn to my ingenious Friend M. Edw. Knatchbull of Sutton to my bountiful Friend Mr. Tho Tyndall to my Cordiall Friend Mr. James Lamb of Sutton yet this Book owes its self to you next to my self of all men under Heaven For it lay by me as a dead thing forgotten till you revived my muse and your encouragements gave life to my Book When Satibarzanes who revolted from Alexander the great challenged any of his Souldiers to fight as George Hammon almost doth the Clergy Erignis an old but spirited man accepted the Challenge with that expression What Souldiers Alexander once had I l'e shew you and at the first On-set slew him 'T is a folly to think to conquer an Anabaptist persuadebis non persuaseris such will take no answer If I can strengthen my own people I am well enough for my thinks ●h●ar Motis in Erasmus saying that to go about to confute Hammon is but 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 to measure the sand c. when I consider the many errours in his Book I am thinking how he might have excused all with that jest in Lipsius si vera dico agnoscite those are rare si falsa ignoscite that 's most of four Book He much speaks against learning Oxford and Cambridge-knowledg 't is wisht he had more of their knowledge that his book might have had fewer errours but in that he is but 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 I finde errours of moment in his book not tolerable in a Common-wealth R. Answ in the Book As that Adams sin brought on him and all in his loyns but temporall death c. Hence no Children eternally lost or need Baptisme yet the Apostle sayes One mans offence brought condemnation on all Rom. 5. were we not by nature Sons of wrath twice dead by nature and otherwise Jude 12. Nay born altogether in sins 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 John 9. notwithstanding the Pharisees obrayding the blind man How the whole man was infected is some difficulty but as the blind man said John 9.25 this one thing I know I was blind and now I see and we did once see in Adam and now are naturally miserable poor blind and waked Rev. 3. I confesse all in Adam sinned onely against the first Covenant but that the breach of that Covenant merited no more then temporall death I deny because of Rom. 5.18 That the souls of Adams Progeny were in Adam according to subsistence I have proved not according to essence When the souls were created in disposed bodies is controverted Tract 4. de Anim. rat Quest 1.
