you Oh horrid and dreadful not onely bee a common lyar but to forge to put in and to add words on purpose to insnare men no marvel you catcht at Faulconers words but once spoken and put them in hastily to take away ones estate when you forge and put in words many words whole lines in a short examination which were never spoken and this to take away mens lives And here ex ore tuo serve nequam out of thine own mouth from thine own words shalt thou bee judged Look back and minde thine own expressions in thine own book pages 7 and 8 where you charge mee with forgery in one word and which yet was not forgery but a mistake and that not in mee neither and yet see your outcries and loud exclamations You may here see say you of what a false and mischâ—evous spirit this Priest is and what a devillish wickedness it is to forge in such a word as for it were it truly so would take away his Foxes life What credit is to bee given to what such a one saith And again Is not hee that can do this past blushing Is there any wickednesse so great that such a one may not bee well conceived to bee ready to act Is such a one a Minister of the Gospel Words need not further to expresse such an act which in its very face is so manifestly wicked and abominable a wickednesse not found in the Roll of those evils which the Apostle mentions should make the last daies perillous I 'le say no more I need not Read the words and remember your own actions and apply But let mee ask you were these all whose blood you thirsted after Did you not write a letter to a friend of yours in Bristol from White-Hall that until Calamy and some other of the Priests were dealt withal as Love was it would never bee well I hope I shall one day get that book of yours which you writ against him mentioned before viz. A short Plea for the Commonwealth Those who have seen it tell mee it most fully sets forth the fierceness and bitterness of your spirit not only against him but that you shew your rancour and malice therein against many of the servants of Christ whose names are yet precious in the Churches and the memory of whom will live when your name shall rot and perish or if it bee mentioned or remembred it shall bee with abhorrence and detestation as infamous as poor Faulconers is I cannot but remind that passage of yours in your Throne page 34. where because I said the Magistrates had their spots and failings you say they are no Magistrates of God but men of sin and the born of the devil If spots and failings do in your judgement render them thus Oh! what are you mind that Rom. 4. beg Therefore thou art inexcuseable O man whosoever thou art Jew or Gentile Ranter or Quaker that judgest for wherein thou judgest another thou condemnest thy self for thou that judgest dost the same things nay infinitely worse But wee are sure the Judgement of God is according to truth against them which commit such things and thinkest thou this O man that judgest them who do such things and doest the same that thou shalt escape the Judgement of God But Reader in this poor wretch you see what a dreadful thing and what a heavy judgement it is for a man to bee given up of God what wickedness so abominable that hee will not then commit So Rom. 1. ver 24. to the end And see also how the Lord doth punish hatred and contempt of his Ministry and servants and Apostasie from the truth with hardnesse of heart and blindnesse of mind giving them over to believe lyes 2 Thes 2. 10 11 12.
