is coming for any man to peruse for his satisfaction all which is false as I shall undeniably demonstrate under the Clerks hand of the Committee and therefore if I would deale in such a scoffing way with Cretensis as he hath done by me though falsely I could marshall his lies and ranck them in order first second ●hird c. and could at the end of every one cry keep tale score up tally on and say this is a fifth if not a fifth and sixth phib in the Relation of Cretensis for here is a big lye with a lesser in the belly of it in brief there is never a sentence nay not a clause nor one word brought by Cretensis to disprove this second part of the story of Cosens that is true and yet it hath Cretensis seale upon it and this foundation greater then Mr. Edwards I was informed for certain namely as it appears by the said examination under the hand of the Clerk of the said Committee which I saw and read and is forth-coming for any man to peruse for his satisfaction and I am confident there are more untruths in these seven lines of Cretensis brought to disprove one clause of one story of mine then in all my Gangraena unlesse mistakes in the manner of a Relation as in the order or mistake of a name c. consisting of thirty sheets and upon condition that Cretensis will promise to submit to this fair condition to be willing his Church should be put down and to Petition with me that upon proof of things by me his Saints may be punished I am contented to referre the determination of it to Authority and if I make it not good to be willing to suffer what the Parliament shall think fit but by the way if Cretensis signall and choyce confutations founded upon examinations under the hand of the Clerk of a Committee which he saw and read and is forth-coming for any man to peruse for his satisfaction be of so dark and dismall a complexion that there is scarce so much as one beam or the least glimmering of the light of truth in the whole body of it what shall we think of those that have no such image or superscription of confidence upon them but be only loose informations from Anabaptists Apprentices persons in their own cause c If Cretensis Chariots and horse-men fail surely his Infantry will yeeld the field And that I may make good all this which I have said and not only feed the Reader with words and flourishes as Cretensis doth I desire the Reader to peruse what followes which cleerly proves what I say and confounds Cretensis Whereas ceatain Articles are exhibited against Robert Cosens of Blasphemy which he now alledgeth is confest by some of the witnesses to be rather a suborning then truth These are to require you to warn these under-written to appear before the Committee at Ail●ford to morrow being Wednesday fail not for which this shall be your warrant Ail●ford Novemb. 19. Anthony Weldon Iohn Bixe Iohn Cosens Francis Tillet Iames Hills Iohn Hills George Paine William Barnet To all Constables and other officers to whom this shall come c. Let Mr. Goldwell send a Copie of the Articles with these witnesses The Examination of Francis Tillet taken upon oath before Sir Anthony Weldon William Iames Richard Beale and Iohn Bixe Esquires upon an information of some subornation against Robert Cosens Novemb. 20. 1644. Who saith that Robert Cosens and this examinat being together upon the Centry they were talking of the Common Prayer and the Lords Prayer and in this discourse the examinate affirmed That the Lords Prayer was taught unto him by his Forefathers and that it was of Christs making and framing whereunto Robert Cosens replyed That if our Saviour were again upon earth he would be ashamed of what he had done and that afterward this examinate relating unto his Brother Iohn Cosens this discourse the said Iohn Cosens replyed that his Brother Robert had said unto him as much before Andrew Lydall Clerk Committee Now I desire the Reader but to compare this Examination under the hand of the Clerk of the Committee with what Cretensis hath written anent his businesse and he will finde Cretensis lines brought to clear Cosens from speaking these words to have forgeries in it numerous beyond measure the whole and every part of it being nothing but lies and for the further conviction of Cretensis I will go over his words 1. Cretensis saith neither did the man speak any such words as these Cretensis how dare you say so when as before three Justices of Peace upon oath these words were deposed against him is your negative testimony without oath sufficient to disprove it 2. Cretensis affirms for proof of his words that Cosens never spake such words as these that the witnesse upon whose single testimony originally both these and the former words were charged upon him upon re-examination and that upon oath before the Committee of the County waved both the one and the other which is all stark staring false and Cretensis proof failing him what is Cretensis testimony worth Now if the Reader do but read this Examination under the Clerk of the Committees hand and compare with that the first Deposition of Francis Tillet before the Major of Rochester and two other Justices he must presently see it smels above ground and that here Cretensis words takes place in himself quot verba tot mendacia I desire the Reader to tell the untruths and that proved upon Record and not untruths made upon my saying they are lies as Cretensis are upon his bare words 1. Cretensis avoucheth confidently that it was one witnesse upon whose single testimony originally both these and the former words were charged upon him let this be the first lie in this Catalogue for 't is evident by the Depositions which I have set down that there were two witnesses Iohn Cosens and Francis Tillet Francis Tillet who swore Cosens spake these words and Iohn Cosens who deposed the other words so that there were two witnesses and each witnesse deposed not the same but different words 2. Cretensis here affirms the former words namely that Iesus Christ was a Bastard were charged upon him which if they were and that upon oath that was a good ground for the report but if they were not charged upon him but other blasphemous words then Cretensis tels another phib which is the second in order 3. Cretensis positively without saying I was so informed c. asserts that these words spoken viz. by Cosens If Christ were upon the earth again he would be ashamed c. the witnesse upon re-examination and that upon oath before the Committee of the County waved them Now how false this is let but the Reader compare the first and second Deposition of Francis Tillet who deposed these words against Cosens before three Justices and upon re-examination and that upon oath before the Committee of the
