the civilest ways he could think of to appease his fury Which wrought nothing upon a man who had an ungrounded fancy working in his head and a great deal of choler boiling in his breast which made much stronger impressions upon him than all the reason and all the kindness in the World The business in short was this He had a conceit that his Father was injured by M. Daillé Who thereupon sent him a message to assure him that there was no such thing intended as that which he called a disrespect to his Father and that He would e're long satisfie the World in Print about it But this civility they are his own words produced nothing but his scorn and mockery and instead of answering he fell a raving returning a reply to M. DAILLE his Apologie more like a mad man than one that disputed either of Divine or of Humane things Which frency wherewith he is still possessed and I doubt is now incurable must be his excuse for the rest of his faults which M. Daillé hath occasion there to mention Among which I must not forget his high presumption in writing a Book about the power of the Ecclesiastical Presbytery against the common opinion of Protestants and yet at the same time arraigning those that take the liberty to differ as he imagines from Mr. Calvin What doth this man think of himself who is so bold as to pretend to the height of Orthodoxy though he dissent from the commonly received Doctrine among Protestants and yet to charge those with advancing towards Popery who dissent only from him or at the most only from some Protestants as shall appear before we have done and that not so much in their opinions as in the explication of them He would blush at these things if it were not for another ill quality noted there by M. Daillé which is that he hath such a forehead as made him impudently deny that to have been written which all men read in Print Give me leave to relate the story as M. DAILLE tells it and in his own words For it will be of great use to demonstrate 1 st that he writes meerly as his affections and passions dictate to him and therefore 2 dly there is as much reason to believe he may as impudently affirm what is not true as he denyed what is but above all 3 dly it will discover the very root of his malignity and lay bare the bottom of the quarrel he hath with us You must know then that M. Daillé had written that Dr. Twisse accused Peter du Moulin this Lewis his Father who deserved very highly of the reformed Church of prevarication in his hypothesis concerning the object of reprobation whereby he had too much promoted the Arminian cause and pulled up by the roots the Orthodox Doctrine of Election Nay that Twiss feared not to affirm the aforesaid Peter du M. was filthily mistaken and brought back again plain downright Arminianisme to the reformed Church c. Unto these words of Daillé 's this Lewis du Moulin pretending to vindicate the honour of his Father answers in so strange a manner that it is hard to say I write still in M. D. 's words whether his arrogance and frowardness to M. Daillé or his impiety to his Father be most wonderful For M. Daillé who most highly praises his Father he condemns but Dr. Twiss his Fathers false Accuser he absolves The former he inveighs against in savage words reproaches and railings the later he adorns with great elogiums and commendations M. Daillé he pronounces to be guilty of injuring his Father but Dr. Twiss to have always treated him honourably and that he never hurt him in word or in writing or if there were any contention between them that it was handled friendly and without any asperity Thus this great Vindex or Defender of his Fathers glory adventures to write against the common sense of all the World For is there any body so stupid says M. D. so void of sense that will think the Patron of a Cause is not at all hurt by him who says that he prevaricates Is that Divine honourably treated by another who accuses him of the most dangerous Heterodoxy and affirms he doth turpiter hallucinari filthily mistake and promotes the cause of the adversaries and destroys his own Call you this honourable and friendly usage when a man is publickly traduced and not only opposed by many arguments but said to bring back again and that couragiously and without tergiversation that very heresie into his Church which he had confuted And all this is not only said but pertinaciously contended to be true by Dr. Twiss to the great grief of all sober Persons except this Son of P. du Moulin's Who is so far from complaining of Dr. Twiss that he is highly pleased with him and huggs him He cannot indure Dr. Twiss should be reprehended and denies he injured his Father at all O bonum pium filium says M. D. upon this occasion O good and dutiful Child O how dear may I say are some opinions to him In which whosoever dissents from him he will tear them in pieces but let those who agree with them say what they please of his best Friends nay of his own Father they shall not ●ail to have his good word Hence hence are the tears that he now ●peaks of This raised his Spleen and put him into a new fit of raving at our Divines who jump not with him in some opinions which are falsly called Arminianisme If they were but as rigid as he in some beloved Doctrines for which he doted upon Dr. Twiss we should not have heard a word of their inclination to Popery But he would have found some excuse or other for all their faults nay been so kind as to magnifie and praise them whom he now abominates For in favour of Dr. Twiss his Fathers Sycophant as M. Daillé calls him he doth little less than say his Father was a prevaricator a heretick c. For he says his Father was not injured by Dr. Twiss though he hath accused him of these things This is his egregious piety to his Father which he so much boasted of and his ardent zeal for truth and sincerity that is his monstrous fondness of his own opinions Which made him defend his Father in such a fashion that he betrayed him so to vindicate his honour that he not only absolved his fierce Adversary from all blame but bestowed upon him very great praises Thus this most vain man says M. Daillé doth not understand that he hath this reward from Heaven for his calumnies against me God so whirling about with secret furies his mind disordered by a most unjust hatred that while he accuses me of a false crime he falls into a true one himself and violates his Fathers fame by a base prevarication which he pretended was by me abused Take another instance of his extream great vanity and proneness to rail at
