THere
coming
lately
to
my
hand
a
Book
called
&c.
written
by
pretending
to
be
an
to
a
certain
&c.
Composed
by
a
of
mine
:
and
understanding
how
that
by
the
it
was
esteemed
as
one
of
their
strongest
pieces
,
and
by
them
thrust
into
the
hands
both
of
some
and
other
persons
of
several
into
whose
acquaintance
they
could
insinuate
.
I
set
my self
to
the
perusal
of
it
:
The
in
several
parts
thereof
,
were
easily
discoverable
;
but
the
Pretence
to
did
most
nearly
affect
me
,
that
being
a
tender
matter
,
which
ought
not
to
be
claimed
without
the
nor
so
much
as
mentioned
without

these
and

all
the

of
the
Church
,
taken

so
(
as
by

given
Chapter
●he
Sixth
,
doth
sufficiently
appear
:
Which
(
if
necessary
)
might
be
inlarged
in
those
several
Periods
downwards
,
to
our
own
late
licentious
times
,
when
were
made
the
Common
stale
for
many
purposes
.
That
the
same
Grounds
which
can
induce
any
man
to
incline
to
do
as
strongly
ingage
him
both
to
Believe
and
own
the
several
which
mak●

of
the
very
same
claim
,

Having
Considered
manner
of
Stating
the
Case
By
which
way
of
procedure
he
hath
done
as
much
to
that
Cause
he
designed
thereby
to
support
,
as
if
he
had
been
professedly
to
subvert
it
;
for
until
he
hath
proved
all
in
the
World
to
be
(
either
not
to
have
right
Articles
of
Faith
,
or
,
which
is
more
difficult
to
discover
,
That
their
Hearts
are
not
sincere
and
true
in
the
Belief
of
them
)
he
hath
argued
them
into
and
there
are
many
such
men
who
do
and
will
make
out
themselves
to
be
as
as
he
is
,
or
can
be
,
and
so
at
least
by
his
own
Rule
they
must
have
an
with
him
,
whereby
the
Revelations
of
one
side
will
be
endlessly
clashing
against
the
Revelations
of
the
other
,
and
in
such
Contests
men
will
not
know
which
party
to
adhere
to
.
Such
things
as
these
being
weighed
,
I
determined
to
Examine
his
Pretensions
in
this
matter
,
and
in
Order
thereto
cast
some
thoughts
together
,
chiefly
in
reference
to
the
of
our
which
by
their
Conceit
of
the
are
destroyed
or
rendred
unnecessary
.
This
being
done
,
I
was
not
satisfied
merely
from
to
take
my
nor
by
one
Writer
to
judge
of
an
whole
Sect
;
(
though
we
may
justly
fasten
upon
such
a
Party
(
as
challengeth
Immediate
Revelation
,
both
to
the
whole
Body
,
and
every
Believer
and
Member
of
it
)
whatever
is
written
in
matters
of
Religion
,
especially
in
this
highest
part
thereof
,
by
any
of
their
number
.
They
also
using
such
Caution
about
Licensing
and
Printing
their
Books
,
as
will
appear
from
their
Constitution
.
)
I
therefore
resolved
to
discover
the
Doctrine
of
's
Brethren
,
and
accordingly
searched
into
such
of
their
Works
,
or
those
they
were
concerned
in
,
as
in
this
Country
I
could
obtain
:
it
was
some
trouble
to
learn
their
Names
,
and
then
procure
them
,
and
when
had
,
it
was
but
to
peruse
them
:
for
whereas
other
Discourses
do
these
did
little
better
than
Their
Tearms
were
so
wrested
,
and
their
Style
so
forced
and
improper
,
that
we
may
apply
to
them
,
what
said
of
his
Books
took
the
pains
to
Discourse
with
,
to
Examine
the
words
and
opinions
of
the
and
such
like
Hereticks
,
and
even
to
read
though
they
were
of
so
strange
and
disgustful
a
composure
,
that
as
observes
in
his
Dedicatory
Epistle
before
it
saith
,
Adv.
Valent.

287.
That
he
was
And
as
those
Fathers
observe
,

Opinions

so
Monstrous
,
so
Trifling
,
and
contrary
to

Doctrine
,
that
they
do
the
Reader
:
but
withal
the
very
opening
of
such
Ware
,
is
a
sufficient
discovery
of
its
Vileness
:
and
I
think
it
is
as
easy
a
Work
to
understand
the
of
the
these
were
their
and
taken
from
the
also
,
but
most
horribly
wrested
and
perverted
by
them
as
to
apprehend
some
of
the
first
Books
of
the
which
are
full
of
such
into
their
Sences
of
that
with
Respect
to
the
Subject
matter
is
here
presented
;
and
their
Doctrines
did
prove
much
worse
than
I
expected
to
have
found
them
,
did
appear
than
my
Charity
thought
them
guilty
of
:
Amongst
other
pieces
,
I
think
I
have
hit
upon
that
which
may
be
called
and
have
discovered
their

if
they
like
not
for
their
I
think
we
need
not
to
be
much
at
a
Loss
to
find
out
others
:
For
besides
some
few
there
is
not
very
much
that
is
in
their
Opinions
,
and
yet
there
is
but
little
of
the
(
we
may
reasonably
think
)
hath
long
ago
canvassed
every
word
in
the
Sacred
Book
,
from
thence
to
form
Heresies
,
and
having
run
his
round
,
he
doth
oft
old
Obsolete
ones
,
turning
them
into
other
shapes
,
by
some
slender
Additions
to
make
them
be
the
less
discernible
:
but
whosoever
will
compare
the
Doctrines
of
the
with
many
of
the
rotten
Condemned
with
some
Fancies
of
the
in
later
times
,
of
the
about
the
of
the
and
those
other
swarms
of
in
this
Kingdom
,
will
be
forced
to
acknowledge
that
not
only
their
is
the
same
,
but
that
also
many
of
their
Opinions
,
even
their
proceed
from
the
same
do
look
upon
them
as
so
and
others
do
esteem
them
so
that
either
they
are
not
worth
medling
with
,
or
that
the
attempts
will
prove
fruitless
:
But
the
Interest
of
and
the
good
of
those
for
whom
dyed
,
are
so
Sacred
,
that
no
Endeavours
to
justify
the
one
and
to
save
the
other
,
ought
to
be
Discouraged
.
And
whereas

in

I

abhorring
those
which
ly
concealed
under
their
Doctrines
,
or
are
the
direct
Consequents

them
:
The
great
prejudice
those
poor
Souls
ly
under

is
,
That
they
are
kept
under
with
an

scarce
permitted
to
read
Tracts
against
them
,
which
are
supposed
to
be
but
to
remove
them
from
the
Truth
:
But
if
any
such
well
designing
shall
meet
with
this
,
I
desire
them
seriously
to
lay
to
Heart
these
few
following
things
,
which
are
not
here
set
down
to

either
Briefly
to
what
is

they

Some
(
thou
sayest
)
will
needs
have
me
to
be
a
Jesuite
;
and
why
?
Because
of
a
little
Learning
:
Must
none
then
have
Learning
but
they
and
Jesuites
?
This
is
the
common
,
but
poor
shift
of
Priests
hard
beset
:
When
they
cannot
maintain
their
ground
,
they
cry
out
,
their
Opponent
is
a
Jesuite
,
as
if
none
could
be
too
hard
for
them
but
Jesuites
,
by
whom
to
be
worsted
they
are
not
ashamed
;
to
think
it
no
shame
,
the
more
shame
for
them
.
Well
,
Truth
is
too
hard
for
them
and
Jesuites
too
.
But
whilst
with
some
I
pass
for
a
Jesuite
,
with
others
it
seems
I
am
but
a
Counterfeit
:
The
Name
,
they
think
,
is
feigned
,
there
's
no
such
Man
,
If
this
were
true
,
what
then
?
There
's
such
a
Book
to
be
sure
;
if
there
were
no
such
Man
as
bears
that
name
,
yet
there
must
needs
be
such
a
Man
as
wrote
that
Book
,
for
the
Book
could
not
write
it self
.
But
a
third
sort
,
I
perceive
,
would
not
allow
me
to
be
a
Quaker
;
and
why
?
Because
they
think
a
Quaker
could
not
have
given
such
an
Answer
:
That
proceeds
from
their
Ignorance
of
Truth
and
the
power
of
it
:
And
indeed
the
contrary
is
most
true
:
to
that
powerful
Arm
,
which
gave
both
the
Weapon
,
and
therewith
skill
and
strength
to
use
it
.
