you have published in your own name or Licensed for others but I could quarrel with somewhat therein at as good a rate of ingenuity if I judged the ingagement worthy of me as you have done at that passage of mine Yea and wring every whit as bad blood out of the nose of it as you have forced out of mine But for oversights hard expressions or doubtful passages in other mens writings otherwise then for the necessary defence of those Truths which God hath stir'd up my Spirit to plead and protect I have neither time nor mind to take any such cognisance of them Concerning my own writings so far as I find them justifiable for matter of truth and defensible I shall God willing pro virili stand up to maintain them against all Opposition and Detraction as fast as I shall come to understand what exceptions are taken against them What shall reasonably and in a Christian manner be excepted against any thing I shall make no Apology for but with a spirit of meekness own the oversight and onely endeavor the rectifying In case unjust Opposers shall rise up too fast or prove too many in number for me I must then be content to edecimate and turne my self onely to those that are counted Pillars and leave Punies-either to share with them in such answers and satisfactions which shall be given unto them or otherwise to take their pleasure in flying upon the wings of their own wind Sir I cannot suspect a want of so much civility in you as to deny water unto those for the washing of their faces who are bemired though casually and by their friends or that the publishing of these few harmless lines in order to my purgation will be matter of offence in the least unto you Thus desiring that the Father of Lights will give both to you and me and all others that desire to serve him faithfully in the Gospel of his dear Son light and not darkness for our vision I take my leave and rest Yours with a perfect Heart to serve you in our Great Redeemer J. G. Mr. Joseph Caryl's Answer to Mr. John Goodwins Letter SIR I Suppose you Printed and Published your Book with a willingnesse that it should be read and considered by all men and knew also that your opinion therein asserted concerning Universal Redemption and falling from Grace hath been as still it is opposed by very many For my own part I plainly professe to you that I have according to my measure held forth and maintained the contrary Doctrines not onely before I saw your Book but before ever I saw your face and so I judge my self bound to do as I have oppertunity till I see ground to change my opinion which as yet I do not no not by what I have found in your book As for that particular Passage of it which you say I have stigmatiz'd with a Brand of Ignominy as also caution'd my friends about it what you mean by stigmatizing I apprehend not All that I have said of it hath been but a manifestation of my dislike of it or that it is an argument of your highest confidence that the truth in that point to which it relates is on your side Now truly Sir if you call this stigmatizing it with a Brand of Ignominy I know not how to take it off notwithstanding all that you have written in vindication of it in the Letter you were pleased to send me And whereas you intimate your purpose to Print that Letter it shall I hope be no trouble to me unlesse for your sake if you do so Onely give me leave to caution you as a friend to consider well both with your self and with your friends Whether it be so comely or you to discover such an eagernesse in this cause that you cannot contain your self from publishing in Print what is spoken in private discourse among Friends concerning this or other Passages of your Book The Lord lead us into all truth and teach us how to walk in Love Yours in the truth to serve you in all Offices of Gospel Love Joseph Caryl Post-Script 1. To be read in Page 42. line 23. after these words Mr. Horn And why do you not demand of your Committee-man George otherwise called Doctor Kendal another of your three worthies why he hath not as yet answered Mr. Baxter who in your phrase hath charged him home to the life or rather indeed to the death of those foppish opinions and conceits of his which he encounters with as much ease and with like success as the fire doth the dryed stubble Yea why doe not you ask your third Committee-man and Champion Joseph why he hath not answered the same Mr. Baxters Epistle wherein he very gravely and Christianly yet roundly and smartly enough expostulates with him for helping into the world and this with approbation and applause such a book which well deserves to be hissed out of the world with indignation Post-Script 2. To be read in Page 47. line 10. after these words So still Yea there are such things found and have been discovered by others as well as by my self especially by Mr. Baxter and Mr. Hora in the writings of the three additional members of your Committee which according to the terms of your own regulation mentioned 12. of your Letter render them signally unmeet for a superintendency over the Press Mr. Baxter well nigh all along his Reply to Mr. Kendals Digression page after page evinceth him to be a man destitute of the truth void of judgement c. in very many things delivered by him in the said Digression And for Doctor Owen Mr. Horn hath in a just volume discovered his incompetency in the same kind FINIS Faults escaped in some Copies Epist. p. 3. l. 3. r. oculos p. 4. l. 15. r. failings l. ult. r. over-easie p. 7. l. 26. r. generality Book p. 1. l. 5. r.
