Eternity Men and Angels in the Face yet after all notwithstanding to be thus appeal'd and so struck into and under such a Dreadful fear and manifest Consternation at the very appearance and coming forth of my said Book into Print a peice that so openly discovereth and maketh manifest his own and the rest of his Faction and Associates Treachery Oppression Unjustice c. that rather then he will stand the Judgment so much as of a Man Men or the appearance of the Day he as manifest thinks it now more safe and far better for him to lay by such his scaring Threats of the punishing of Body and Ireful Judgments both on the right Hand and on the left poured forth and pronounced against me as contain'd in a Letter which he sent me but a little before and to Anvil out another way and to his Craft again if he can but as no doubt he will out-face Shame and what else relates to either Men or Conscience c. having reflected so much on A. B. though Innocent as by his own Inconsistency for how can A. B. or any other though their c●pacity be of the smallest Size c. be Crafty Silly both and yet for all that to so now c●me down stoop and appear so humble and so low as to thus desire and intreat and it shall be accepted be satisfaction and so for the Controversie to be ended And therefore Friendly and Christian Reader upon the whole matter and circumstances of it may I not break out in this astonishment open my Mouth and say O blush oh Heavens and be astonish'd oh Earth at these things And this further so that by all what hath been said written and apparently and plainly proved upon them viz. O. S. and the rest the true and conscious Reader may plainly see and discern as before how contrary both to themselves as well as unto the Truth I mean the real Truth of God these Men have acted in the premised by being thus false to God false to Men false to their own Consciences and false to what they have Signed and given under their own Hands and which stands will remain and will be in Witness against them until they acknowledge by Repentance for indeed how can that be according to God or consistent with his Will that is so vastly wide and altogether inconsistent with its self as in p. 14. and last Query of my Book of Queries And therefore saith my Soul Oh that the Lord for his Name for his Truth and for his Mercies sake would be pleased to both root out and to drive and chast away out of his Church and Camp all such evil and deceitful Work and Works and all such double-tongu'd and false-hearted ones and to cause it to exterminate and its Remembrance to End and cease amongst Men and especially all the Professors of his Holy Name and Truth And therefore his viz. this O. S's bad treacherous evil and deceitful Ways and Circumstances considered may I not further add and thus infer concerning him Oh Treacherous Heart Oh hard'ned Mind That can such Crafty Ways invent Without remorse or Wound of Soul Or any Token of Relent Where shall I seek Where can I find At all the like of thee Amongst all pretenders to the Faith And for the Vnitie For thou art him thou art known by Name The Hinge and Man of Strife That secretly doth persecute Oppress and wound the Life And as to those general Charges as with respect to the Wickedness on the Persons fore-mentioned that I intended no further or otherways to any O. S. and B. A. excepted than in respect only to those particular Charges alledged and not in the least as to the general or series of their Lives And now a few Lines more in Answer to his needless and unprofitable Postscript which chiefly relates to my placing as he saith some unnecessary or impertinent et setera's or more than happily convenient or proper the which I shall not so much dispute or stand the Test of the Controversie with him the whole aim end and bent of my Spirit being more for and with respect to Truth Justice Substance c. then to either Puctilio's or the Rules or Use of Grammatical Methods having neither pretended to either Skill or Scholarship in those and such things and wherein I have missed or been short in them or any I think that he silly and a witless'd me enough about them But in this I have rather rejoyced and have cause still to rejoyce and to both bless to magnifie and praise the Name of the Lord my God my Rock and my Stay in that he hath so far taught and learned me in the School of Christ his dear Son Truth Righteousness and in the Book of an innocent and a good Conscience so as that I could not nor cannot in the least abet close with cover or connive at any such wicked false deceitful and evil doings that is so too frequently and often found both in him and them he personates and undertakes for but as to the case of the Widow Bunce and her Son which he ci●●s as his first Example I think necessary to annex these two or three Lines further And first as with respect to the Offence that the said John Bunce had taken it is to be noted that it was taken upon or through the occasion of O. S. and the rest refusing or denying his Mother a just and fair Hearing by her Neighbours that best understood the Nature and Circumstances of the case and which only related unto outward Concerns wherein she apprended as in the aforesaid That she had the due right of Claim c. and not that they had any thing otherways or further against him and therefore the case with the Circumstances depending rightly and duly considered whether it may not give both cause and room to conclude or at least to think that he went to the aforesaid viz. the Priest for something else than only for a Wife for that it appears not at all unreasonable but to both suppose and think that he might go to him for to learn Religion also yea and something else besides that too he seeing and finding such unfair and unjust dealings in the aforesaid towards his Mother that pretended to that degree of Sense Light and Spiritual Discerning above and beyond all others so that if no more impertinency in my overplentious c. then appears in this he places as the first of his Examples he might have staid out his time in the Country where he was if a doing of any good there then to a so hasted to a thus only showed his own Skill and Scholarship and if such a Fault in A. B. by a few overplus or impertinent c. though not so many as appears that he accounts of neither was it not an impertinency not short of it in O. S. for to send unto me such a Book viz. his A Reviler c. to one I say that he looked upon and accounted as his Enemy that had so many both false and confused Misplacings both troublesome to read and much more to Answer they being as followeth viz. after pag. 30. followeth p. 33. after p. 34. followeth 31. after p. 32. followeth p. 37. after p. 38. followeth p. 35. after p. 36. followeth p. 39. But these not altogether so material neither either on the one hand or on the other as his so hipping and skipping as I may say over Mountains and Hills and thus stumbling or rather quarrelling at meer Turfs or Mould-Hills my meaning being by his so skipping evading and giving the Go by to those more material and substantial parts of my aforesaid without either Notice taken or any answer or return at all as at large have mention'd and hinted in the foregoing But to God I shall leave both he and them that will reckon with them all for such their merciless Heard-heartedness Unchristian outrage against their Brethren and my self in particular and that for no other cause that I know of than standing up and being for the Holy Truth of God and witnessing against such their unholy open and apparent Works and Deeds of Darkness account or call them as you will or please And thus having somewhat eased my grieved Heart and wounded Spirit because of these things and enlarg'd therein beyond Intentions I do leave and commend them to the righteous Judge and true witness of God in every Conscience and remain a true Lover of all the honest and sincere in Heart Abraham Bonnifield Let this neither go nor be communicated to or amongst any but Professed or Reputed Friends THE END The ERRATA PAge the first of the Bo●● line 35. after the word Pounds add and. pag 4. line 14. after forth add c. line 21. for confesseth read counteth pag. 19. line 20. for account read accord line 31. after wiser add and. and instead of from the Remarks and Circumstances read from the Circumstances and Remarks pag. 22. line 14. for the read his a. pag. 26. line 11 for this read thus pag. 28. line 6. after approved add of pag. 38 line 39 for yet read that pag. 40. line 26. after Words add it pag. 41. line 14. after Bone add more pag. 42. line 31. after it add and me pag. 44. line 10. to add as pag. 53. line 17. after and add in and for Infirmly read Affinity and after Affinity add with pag. 58. line 30 for to read for line 35. after been add both pag. 59. line 14. for and read buy pag. 60. line 17. for so read too pag. 64. line 1. for those read these pag. 65. line 28. after and add the. pag. 67. line 21. after of add 〈◊〉 pag. 72. line 33. after and add I. pag. 75. line 5. before Proceeding add and. pag. 76. line 22. after for add of pag. 80. line 2● after them add as line 32. before Meeting add a. pag. 87. line 1● after farther add the. pag. 92. line 36. after A.
