was fully acquainted before my Ordination His Lordship saw also my Certificate from the Vniversity witnessing my Proficiency and orderly Demeanour whilst there 4 Years and received another Certificate under the Hands of worthy Divines of the Church of England testifying the Inoffensiveness of my Demeanour during my continuance at Thirsk with which my Lord was fully satisfied and which will clear his Lordship from the unjust Calumnies of the Malevolous and Malicious SIR your unfeigned Servant to his Power A. G. I before for Reasons given suspected my Friend to be a Socinian I wish he do not also prove a Novatian I suppose he esteems himself a Puritan and this is Puritanism with a Witness for the Novatians proudly call themselves as others have done since 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 Puritans that will not allow Men the Benefit of that Repentance that Christ's Forerunner began to preach and which the Apostles did publish over the World The Incestuous Corinthian 1 Cor. 5.1 bating that he was not a Renegado from the Dissenters a Crime which my Friend though he have Charity enough to venture a Prayer for one that had sinned the Sin against the Holy Ghost p. 15. would scarce I believe venture a Prayer for the Incestuous Corinthian was I conceive full as guilty as the Renegado Scotchman Now if he was one of their Ministers as some of the most learned of the Fathers think he was I wonder what Rebuke my Friend would have had for Saint Paul who on his Repentance commands them To forgive him and comfort him and confirm their Love towards him 2 Cor. 2.7 8. I read thus Brethren if a Man be overtaken in a Fault ye which are spiritual restore such an one in the Spirit of Meekness considering thy self lest thou also be tempted Gal. 6.1 I will not reflect upon my Friend tho' if he be a Man named to me 't is supposed he is as much as the Scotchman interested in the Lenity of this Canon But I will give him some Lines of a Letter which was also sent to me since my Answer went for the Press I hear saith my Correspondent from pretty good Hands that the Academy in the North have the first Blessing of God upon Man among them Gen. 1.28 Neither he nor I can yet say this is true tho' in a short time we possibly may give my Friend a better Account of it But if it be found true pray tell me will you admit the Criminal to Ordination or will you not If let him repent never so sincerely your resolve that you will not I must ask you from St. Paul in the Case aforesaid Whether you be not Ignorant of Satan's Devices v. 11. If you do pray what hath the Bishop of Chester done that your selves in the same Circumstances will not do But I remember what my Friend saith I see One may better steal a Horse than Others look over the Hedge p. 5. I would ask my Friend since it is his Choice rather to be Ludicrous than Scurrilous p. 28. as if 't was necessary that he must be one whether he hath answer'd his Pretences I have heard of some whose Sport it is to do Mischief and I find my Friend esteems Scurrility a Ludicrous Matter and would rob a Man of his good Name in a Jest I see again my Friend conceals his Name he was afraid our Jests should have been as broad on him as his are upon others But I am not at present dispos'd to be Ludicrous either in this way or any other else I would have ask'd my Friend How Mr. C.'s underling Slave Apollyon came to be his chief Devil p. 14. Whether the Surey Devil did not go out by Quarters and Halves as his merry Papists Story is now a Leg then an Arm c. p. 26. since the Ministers were near a Year a playing the Men-Midwives to him And whether such Dispossession as this looks like those of the Demoniacks in the Gospel Whether they that say Here 's a Devil or they that say Here 's no Devil ought to give the Characters of him p. 27. for I think they that see him or smell him are the fittest to do it How the Dissenters by talking to Satan in Latin or Greek would have been any more unsanctified Lyars as he pretends they would ib. than they were by talking to him in English These with other Inconveniences of the same Nature to cover the Dulness of my Ludicrous Friend are designedly past over in Silence lest the Reader should be as weary as the Writer is FINIS
