to trouble you no more Pardon me that I begin with George Fox's Journal a new Folio Printed lately since his death and your large Preface if I prove him a Lyar c. your Cause falls to the ground for he was your first Apostle or rather Deceiver I doubt as you do not so you cannot believe the Fables you relate of him Some think You Sir in another disguise to be the Author of the book W. C. William Calamus I fear it is so I hope it is not if not I question not but you know him I appeal also to you whether the dasign of my Reprimand were to answer both Papers as he said when I never saw the first till I finisht my Reprimand and then put in a few lines about Cato c. or not 1.

Keith have denied it God hath made my being unable to flee a non possibile naturally but ne'er ordain'd my being born in Constantinople so he made it a non futurum so of Christs Legs not broken he made it not an impossible thing but a thing not future 2. My design was to reprove him for favouring the Foxonian Quakers whom I proved to be Blasphemers Imposters c. by proofs not commonly known therefore I intituled my Book a Reprimand not a Vindication I dare appeal to you whether things are not so and therefore such is he as if unparaled Lying Rudeness and Impertenencies had contended which should make his Reply most Infamous To all this account of the Foxonian Quakers he replies without attempting to vindicate them We are Fools and he hath found me I thank him very good Company worthy good men of his own communion and zealous for it too as Mr. Bugg and Mr. Snake for so I us'd to call him seeing he puts not his name to his book as I do not to mine yet all know the Authors Mr. Keith's being my Tutor I laugh at it I speak it without vanity and I suppose he knows it he need be no more my Tutor than I his nothing is more evident to me that W. C. wants not only a Tutor but Schoolmaster to teach him to make True Latin and Verse as the after account will prove I take him to be a man of no True Learning though a man of some wit only childish terms and nauseous phrases sometimes spoils that too the broken Latin Sir looks like yours who have little knowledge of that Tongue less of the Gree● though you once would venture upon a criticism forsooth with Mr. Faldo 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 which occasions a little merriment there are that know your Excellency lies not that way but in some other parts of Learning Politicks History and Theology Thine in the Light without the Outward Name THE FOXONIAN Quakers DUNCES LYARS and SLANDERERS Proved out of George Fox's Journal c.

What shall we then think of the story of Sergius the Monk and his Indoctrinating his Young Pupil who never knew Letters For Popish Miracles I believe the Rosary scattered up and down at Hounslow-Heath where only King James appear'd as a Man of Valour did more good against Popery than all the Learned Tracts of Bishop Tillotson and Bishop Stillingfleet tho' all were as gravely told as Fox's Journal full of Heresies Lying Wonders done in a Corner Revilings what passages were for Oliver and against the Stuarts are left out so those words G.
