in my Answer pag. 5. line 14 15. these are my words also adding or diminishing to all or most of my Answers to thy Queries The second place he mentions is page 13. these are my words In the next place I come to speak of my Answers to thy Queries and therein to prove unto thee and others what I said before viz. that thou hast IN ALL or Most of them either ADDED or DIMINISHED Now let any impartial man judge whether it be fair in R. Smith only to say I said he Added when I say he either ADDED or DIMINISHED and I did prove he Diminished in most of them which he would put off himself IN SAYING ITS NOT Equiv●c●t●ng and Forging and to say of him pag. 13. quoting Margin 26. of his that is my Answer which says he he did not say he says in Margin 26. Book entituled Light unchangeable In Answer to the first Query which Answer was mine and no mans else therefore it must either be my Answer or no mans yet he saith he did not say is was mine What pitifull shifts are these to hide Deceit but they are too short any rationable man may see them The third place he cites is pag. 18. of my Answer my words are these So have I shewed wherein thou hast either Added or Diminished from all or most of my Answers for what end is known to thy self Therefore let any sober person judge whether R. Smith hath not dealt Un Christian-like yea Un-Man-like in saying I say he hath Added when in all the three places by him cited I say he hath added or diminished which in my Answer to his as before I did clearly prove Another piece of Forgery he chargeth me with is in the same with that which he in his Margin calls the second Lye about the word pinch therefore my Answer thereunto may serve only I may say the man did not only want good memory and quick wit but also good Eye-sight or otherwise he would not have written so many Lyes and Slanders in one page viz. 8. and one twice over or else he wanted Matter to fill it up but however his Tongue is his own and he can say what will fit his own turn He tells people of an Edict as he calls it and as though thereby we would Violate the Bonds of Relations so as to teach Wife to deny Husband Children Parents Servants Masters c. Because we therein deny him he being gone out of the Fear and Wisdom of God which doth not in the least imply such a thing though he would draw such a conclusion from it thereby to render us contemptible in sober Peoples minds which is a further manifestation of his Mind and Intent towards us but it had been fitter for him to have been silent herein except he had kept the Bonds of Relations at Home better then he hath done R. S. saith pag. 11. of his Reply That he takes Religion to be a close walking with God in those holy Duties the Gospel enjoyns Answ If that be true Religion let such as know him and such as may come to read his Words and Actions mentioned herein judge whether he be found in the performance thereof or no. Had there not been a necessity for the clearing of the Truth from his Lyes and Slanders I should rather chose to have been silent knowing the bad use that many will make of such things saving They are at difference among themselves and the like but Truth is but one and they that are in it and keep to it are in Unity therein THE END
