Is it not strange That our new start up Protestators should so maligne men under this name and notion of Malignancy whereas they roundly professe their ignorance here of the true Notes and marks from whence they may be discerned and dignosced as the Desire or Petition put up by them The sole Nuncupative Godly Party or men of Godly understanding to that Venerable Assembly at Edinburgh anno 52. for their information hereanent in their 3.
