And that it was preached by a Cobler of Holborne Now as I who then preached a Sermon there am no Cobler nor ever was so nor of any other Trade mechanicall so I did not preach in that Sermon any thing at all for matter or manner that hath any correspondence or coherence with that more then pestilent Pamphlet which thing as they that heard it have desiredly put their hands to so to make it more plain and perspicuous I am compelled to put pen to paper and then to put in print the same Sermon I meane the summe and substance of it as it came through mine owne mind from mine owne mouth That so this being compared with that lying libell the contrariety that is betwixt them may appear to all that run and reade them And as I protest that I am no Cobler nor of any other trade whatsoever I think few in the world have spent fewer houres in things of the world or have so little skill in managing outward matters I speake this to my very shame So I professe that here you have it directly as I handled it I mean the summe and substance of it the particulars or passages in it Pray for mee and my Brethren of the Ministery that the Word of God may have free passage and that we may be delivered from unreasonable and unruly men for I see by most evident experience that all men have not Faith And thus praying the God of Glory to make us able to bear reproaches and carefull to reape some good from them I commend all the Israel of God to the onely God of Israel and abide an unworthy Preacher and your faithfull Friend H.
