In which answer is proved, that many things wherewith Mr. Edwards chargeth him, is false. Also, that Mr. Edwards charging any in such a nature is contrary to rule, and against all examples in Scripture, and tends unto division in these distracting times. / By Thomas Webbe.

Mr. Edwards Pen no Slander IT is my hearts grief that I am engaged to use my Pen in matters that requires a publik satisfaction in answring of M. Edwards but in as much as I apprehend that its the will of God I am satisfied and am willing to give him an Answer though I am altogether unwilling that hatred should naswer hatred and malice malice but that love may give M. Edwards his hatred a sweet and Christian-like Answer and that in much patience Also that truth may appear for me and not my self who desires nothing more then the braces of Peace Truth in answering of M. Edwards that part of his Gangraena wherein he charges me with many things and where withall he seekes not onely to take away my good name but also against all Christianity my lively-hood O that we could but live answering Pauls Bowels of Compassion sweetly in a Christ-like love one towards another Mr. Edwards is pleased to begin thus speaking of me by name he saith that I was charged before the Honourable House of Lords for delivering blasphemous Doctrines which he saith I have recanted of this is his first Charge It s true indeed that I was before the House of Lords but I wonder and it s somthing strange that I should recant of those blasphemous doctrines when indeed as unto me they were read I did not own them It s true there was many Doctrines read over unto me by the Clerk of the Lords House which would admit of dangerous and blasphemous Constructions were of dangerous consequences indeed quite contrary unto my judgment or opinion but I having liberty to declare my self concerning them before that Honourable House I did both to the House and to those worthy Ministers of the Synod who were appointed to examine me and as I thought did give good satisfaction as did appear by my releasement out of Prison onely there did remain a little money businesse Now if this were a recantation I refer it to wise judicious considerations But grant it were a recantation I had then whereof not to be ashamed but to glory in respect of mercy shewed me in recanting of them but is it not against common reason that Mr. Edwards should divulge the same in publique to the rendring of me odious to the world and bereaving me of my lively-hood which that he doth in taking away my good name which as the wise-man saith is better then great abundance of worldly riches as by sad experience is wofully witnessed would it be a point of wisdome for a Father if that after his Son should confesse his fault and turn from it that his Father should declare the same to the world whereby his Child were rendred odious and thereby lost his good name O let in this case common reason stand between Mr. Edwards and my self Secondly grant that I had recanted of such sad blasphemous doctrines O what cause of rejoycing and it had been his duty to a praised God for it on my behalf knowing that praise waiteth for God in Syon God waits to do us good and to be mercifull unto us and we should wait to praise God and to let passe no opportunity nor receive no mercy but praise should be given forth to God But how doth Mr. Edwards wait upon God as for every beame of love to praise God who sends forth the glorious beames thereof to the Sons of men when he in his writing vents nothing but self and hatred in the rendring me odious to the world as if my recantation had bin an errour and so the things of which I did recant were truth Certainly he was very zealous but not according to knowledge for knowledg would as I conceive have taught him otherwise even to have praised God with me on my behalf for convincing of me of those dangerous and blasphemous doctrines there being no work of God But what of us all worthy of all praise but more especially the work of God which to us is one of the greatest miracles wrought by divine power even the turning of a soule from errour unto truth knowing that the not knowing of God and the way of God in a true manner or Gospel way doth deprive the soule of many sweet and precious enjoyments of God and Gospel priviledges also that he that turneth a soule from sinne saveth it from Hell O that Mr. Edwards would take it and seriously consider of it whether he be greater then the Angels in Heaven or whether pride be greater in him then in them for certainly one of these must be in as much as there is great joy amongst them over one sinner that turns from his way Now if they stoop down to us poor Creatures so as to rejoyce at our returning from sin unto God oh why should not Mr. Edwards nay and how doth God himself embrace and provide a fatted Calf for his prodigall Son that returns home unto him now if so be I have bin a prodigall Son as indeed in some measure I have been and have fed upon husks which he tearms blasphemous Doctrines and at last I have turned or God hath drawn me from them to truth O what cause is here of Mr. Edwards embracing of me and taking me into his love and favour seeing that God hath done it before him but how doth he praise God nay he is though in love I write it as truly I must be plaine in his wayes farr below God in his wayes for God embraces and sweetly busses that soule that turnes to him and provides a fatted Calfe for the poore soule sweetly to feede upon but he is so farre from embracing of me that he seekes not only to make me odious to himselfe but also to the world he is so farre from providing a fatted Calfe as that if he could I feare he would provide for me a leane and poore price and a sower and bitter bite
