Baxter that it is true Seeing you have him beware of him for he hath one unpardonable Fanlt we cannot forgive him for neither I doubt will you Mr. L. What is that I pray Mr. H. He hath too much Wit for one man Mr. L. Now I will speak roundly Honest Mr. Williams I am in a rapture or transport with joy let you and I have a Friendly Debate for I doubt we have been mistaken in one-another and these Gentlemens Opinions of us both true and right I know you are afraid of Crispianism or Antinomianism as well you may a filthy poysonous abominable Weed and I have written against it for which they revile me as they do you and the Apologist I have been much afraid of Arminianism and Socinianism now grown to a great heighth This might make us not so well to understand one-another as else we might Mr. A. A Friendly Debate Gentleman that is a word out of joint and is an unlucky Omen you will talk but little Sence or Truth A Friendly Debate the Phrase is grown odious since Patrick thirty years since wrote his Friendly Debate wherein the friendly Con tells the Noncon He was no good Subject and therefore no good Christian for living in a Corporation or within Five miles of it contrary to Law He brings in the Noncon as a Fool I pray Sir explain your meaning I am not skill'd in definitions And when the Question was whether our white Caps under our black ones might justifie Laun sleeves the Answer is Any thing becomes a good Man On goes Jack to prove the Bishops good men his Comparison of the Gentleman 's praying in the morning at nine of the Clock in the Parlour requiring his Servants to come then and there not in a Stable with clean Clothes Faces and Hands not all dirty was as much to the purpose about Symbolical Ceremonies of human appointment as his Story of the Cupboard of Plate God had and would return to it but it must be well beaten first and that was when the King must pack up and be gone Who I pray sent their King packing since Gentlemen I shall for this reason protest against a Friendly Debate but should be glad to hear a Friendly Conference between you Mr. H. I could wish Mr. Baxter alive were it proper to wish the greatest Saint that ever went to Heaven here on Earth again to see what his reputed Advocate but real Adversary said to take the Chair since his death hath said and written Mr. L. If these men judge right what have I done to be so tenacious of a Phrase Commutation of Persons and so to raise such a Dust to trouble Bishop Stillingfleet and D. Edwards famous Men my Friends as I thought by their Books but your Friends as I find by their Letters And many say our late Controversie is one of the most fruitless ones that ever was brought on the Stage A Story of matter of Fact and a Phrase and my Friends as well as Adversaries say That by my Rashness all is in a flame for tho' we long since lost our Vnion yet our Peace continued but now that is gone too Mr. W. I doubt I have been mistaken too in some things seeing you confess your mistakes I do mine So true is that Incidit in Syllam You ran so fast from the Tents of the Socinians that you might come in some Phrases too nigh the Tents of the Crispians and I ran so fast and far from the Tents of the Crispians that I might err as I am sure you did Mr. L. Who is this that comes towards us with so much Rage and Fury Mr. W. It is Dr. Crisp Mr. A. No that cannot be for I remember that of old they pictur'd him like an old Hermit and had I been a Manichean I should have spent time to consider who made him This looks more comely sure it is not he Mr. W. Why Sir you must know his Son hath been so troubled about it to see his Father pictur'd as if with Cain his maker had set a mark on him that he hath play'd the Barber himself like a kind Son to make his Father look better or if you will less ugly and hath clapt a few tolerable Sermons to make the intolerable Sermons go down the better Dr. C. Have I found you O my two Enemies that have written against my Doctrine You Old-Testament-Daniel and you New-Testament-Stephen some say that as the Old and New Testament make one Bible so you two are one in the main I say as that Heretick Humphreys you two are one in Doctrine tho' you differ in Phrases You are both corrupt tho' I say it on a different account You both deny Justification without Faith and make Gods Covenant a Bargain c. Mr. L. You will find Gentlemen this man cannot express himself he had need get one to do it for him Dr. C. What! do you make me such a Dunce that am a Doctor Mr. A. I have heard of a noted Doctor Head of a House in Oxon in the Interregnum famous for advising young Students never to go into the Water till they first learnt to swim c. That once telling a Story how the Proctor alwaies at night seeing a Candle in his Study said That man will be a Doctor or a Dunce his Servant replied In good truth Master you are both I apply not the Story before a D. in D. Dr. C. Will you deny that there are any good things in my Book Mr. L. In what Book are there not some good things Your Book may therefore be called good as some Philosophers call an Ethiopian white not simpliciter but secundum quid about the Teeth Dr. C. You Mr. L. are neither for Mr. Baxter nor me but have written against us both When some say If he be not in the right I must be so if not I he must be so Mr. L. I have heard of a Captain in our Civil Wars who meeting with a poor man on the Highway asked him who he was for for the Kings Souldiers or the Parliaments and promised him if he spoke his mind no harm should come to him Then Master said the poor man I am for both How so said the Captain Why said he for the hanging of both sorts for Master said he we cannot keep a little Bacon in the House but one comes one time and another at another time till all be gone So say I we cannot keep a little Protestant Doctrine in the Church one pulls one way another another way till all be gone Yet I wisht well to Mr. Baxter's Person and so to yours but to neither of your Doctrine Dr. C. See how Daniel Williams that pure Stick sits there like a Sheep-stealer he hath nothing to say I think my Disciples have done his Work for him and told the World of his lewd Life Mr. A. He hath said so much to you already that he hath done enough for one man and need say no
