acceptably unless we tell God the Name of those we pray for Surely we need not a False Hearted Apostate to dictate our Prayers to us Thy Hypocrisy and self-Contradiction also appears in one while seeming to be against Personal Reflections and calling Names c. And another while calling the People called Quakers Painted Harlot New Rome Rome's Sister c. which to excuse among other false Allegations and Defamations thou givest this for one Reason viz.

he owned all his Hand or Name was set to Errours of the Press excepted which we take to be a full Answer not only for Judgment Fixed but for all other Books which he hath wrote and subscribed his Name to unto which we subscribe our Names John Mason Joseph Mason Simon Burgis James Burgis Tho. Brewster Hen. Hogans Rob. Hibble Ambr. Friend Geo. Friend Joshua Bangs Edward Firth Tho. Fuller Now to Proceed to F. Bugg's One Blow More HE saith he was resolved to go to the Meeting well Prepared which it seems was with a Constable and Warrant as before obtained by an undue Information as well as Envious against the persons met as being under a great suspicion of Disaffection to the Government That for his offering to meet us to Prove matters of Fact his Challenge he here again renews on a Months notice p. 2. whereby he has Granted that he has not yet proved matters of Fact against us we have his Clamourous Accusations and Charges without Proofs still he 's more loud in 's Charges than in 's Proofs as was publickly told him That F. B. offered G. W. a Paper containing this Charge following offering publickly he saith to prove it which he neither did nor can do 1st That G. VV. is a Deceiver of the People 2dly A false Accuser of the blessed Martyrs charging their Doctrin to be Corrupt tending to Practical Ranterism and thereby siding with the Papists against the Protestants 3dly That he is a favourer or an excuser of such Principles and Practices as border upon Blasphemy and Idolatry G. VV. did and still doth utterly deny these Charges as False Slanderous and Malicious they remain still to prove which F. B's says so doth not 1. Wherein is G. VV. a Deceiver of the People in point of Doctrin or Conversation He utterly and Conscientiously denies the Charge having faithfully served the Lord in good Conscience from his Youth upward and rejoyceth that he is counted worthy to be thus Reproached for Christ Jesus as his Ministers of old were 2 Cor. 6. 8. 2. Wherein doth he accuse the blessed Martyrs and charge their Doctrin to be Corrupt This Charge is General as well as in the Plural What Doctrin agreed upon and generally held by the blessed Martyrs did G. W. ever so Accuse But only F. B's Misapplication of the Words which he saith were Dr. Barnes viz. That all outward works be things indifferent and may be used and also left Pray where did the blessed Martyrs agree upon or hold this Doctrin as stated by our Adversary I am sure 't is neither safe nor sound without some such distinction as all outward works not evil in themselves or not prohibited by the Law of God be things so indifferent as aforesaid 3. His third Charge is as notoriously False and Malicious as the rest The occasion whereof was my only Questioning him about two Letters which he saith were sent to G. F. by J. C. and J. A. How proves he they are theirs as Cited c I do not believe they are as I told him publickly both which shewed my dislike of them as Cited especially the latter besides there 's now more ground to question the Citations since F. B. that varied in his last from his first in several Passages leaving out divers words and he hath not yet proved either of them true I suppose if he hath not forged the said Letters he hath taken them upon Trust as he would have the Reader and us take them from him upon his own Credit and bare Affirmation which is of very little value to us Thus he frequently imposes and commonly refers us to his own Scurrilous and Abusive Pamphlets as if his own Authority and Ipse Dixit must bear down all opposition to his bare and proofless Affirmations That G. W. did not own the Book wholly Entituled Innocency against Envy and refused to own either in part or in the whole his Book Entituled Judgment Fixed are both false for before the Meeting was ended he openly owned both the Errors of the Press excepted though unwilling at first to Answer F. B. to that or any other Question because he desired the Meeting might be kept quiet and free from Contention but could not obtain it because of F. B's Turbulent and Abusive Contention and Clamorous Reviling To prove that G. W. did both refuse to own his Book Judgment Fixed and Answer the Charge before cited F. B. produces this Certificate viz. WE whose Names are under written do Testify That on the 30th of April 1691. George Whitehead did refuse to own his Book Judgment Fixed c. and to Answer to the recited charge which was by Francis Bugg Exhibited against him Isaac Archer Samuel Knowles And Ten more 1. This Certificate is very unfair partial and unjust in both as I could produce many more Witnesses to the Contrary if I should go or send about to get hands for that I did publickly own the said Book Judgment Fixed and the other also that very day and place the Errors of the Press excepted some time before the Meeting was ended as many can Witness That at first I refused for some time to Answer F. B. but refused not to own my said Books or to answer his Charge at a more convenient time which I did before parting but would not presently be forced nor frighted thereunto by his peremptory demands and threats with Constable and Warrant his imperiously imposing upon me I did not think my self bound immediately to Answer at his demand and in his time but took my own time and method to give Answer This is the very truth of the Case 2. That I did not only Answer his said Charge by way of Denial but all the rest of his abusive and proofless Accusations and Clamours in general And my Negation was sufficient whilst his Affirmations were unproved and yet in many things he was answered by such demonstrations as he was not able to refute I had no cause to be Timerous or Cowardly from a Guilty Conscience nor ashamed of S. Cripe in his being concerned with me as F. B. most falsly insinuates p. 2 3. And at length against his abusive Clamours That G. W. was disaffected to the Government Jesuitically siding with the Papists against Protestants c. This proposition was fairly made and urged by me the person abused viz. That seeing F. B. hath thus publickly and highly reproached me touching the Government as disaffected to the same Popish Jesuitical c. I do sincerely offer that if F. B. or any that take his part his Minister or any other hath any thing to charge me with relating to the Civil Government or any Complaint Suggestion or Jealousy against me touching the same according to his said Reproaches if he or they will let me have a Lawful Summons after I am at London to appear before the Secretary of State or any of the Lords of the King and Queen's Council I shall God willing
