that yolk of the egg that the Diviner demanded of his Client or not much of the White would so cleer his ey-sight or his glas or both that he could soon come to know as wel what were done in the inner parts of Ethiopia as how matters went with men in the gulph of Bengala alike without the Divels help I beleiv in either And for his zeal to Antichrist apparent enough it is that he hath no smal measure of that 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 that bitter zeal the Apostle James speaks of Chap. 3.14 against those that have ben Gods principal Instruments both among us and elswhere in helping to demolish the power and Kingdome of Antichrist And if the Divel be the grand Antichrist as there is no doubt but he is and the other on earth but his Deputie sure he and his Complices ar no les zealous for the support of Antichrists Kingdome when they so eagerly band and bend themselvs against those servants of God that discover and lay open their diabolical practises then was Demetrius and his felow craftsmen for the worship of Diana in stirring up and striving to enrage the people against Paul Christs Apostle and that for the same cause for which they set the multitude then in an uproar because thereby comes in their gain Act. 19.24 27 28. Yea but the man reqires to be heard Let me be heard saith he and not judged unheard and what more eqal but hath he not ben heard or ar not his own allegations for himself and in defence of his Art related by the Annotater out of his own works and delivered in his own words and such Exceptions taken thereunto and given in against him as he hath no list to take notice of But how would the man be heard and tried forsooth according to his own principles Let me be heard saith he according to mine own principles a very fair cours indeed and a very reasonable reqest can ye blame him if he desire so to be heard and tried For what cheater or imposter what malefactor felon traitor or murtherer would not right willingly be heard tried and sentenced according to his own principles And what think we would their principles be such no doubt as were those of Brennus and his Galles and their plea against the Romanes whose dominions they had invaded as Plutarch relateth it that they did nothing evil or unjust but kept to the ancientest and most generally received and allowed Law in the VVorld that gives the stronger right to what the weaker held or as Livie more succinctly that their right consisted in their arms and to hardy persons all things appertained and such I beleiv would their principles be that all was of right theirs that either by fraud or force slight or might they could wrest from any other that were either way or in either kind weaker then themselvs By which their Tenets and Maximes might they but obtain to be tried and sentenced they would be sure they knew to do wel enough And the like cours of Judicature doth this man plead for Let me be heard saith he according to mine own principles grant him but his own grounds a most reasonable reqest and he wil soon be able sufficiently to cleer himself neither shal he need to except against any uncharitable either Presbyterian or Independent from being of his Judges or of his Jurie But Sir your principles must first be prooved which by other then those of the Presbyterie have ben so razed that it seems you despair of ever raising them again and therefore refuse to meddle with their ruines And this is that which the Annotater reqires of you and puts you upon to make good your Assertions concerning the ground of your Principles that which you ar as unwilling to come to being conscious to your self of your utter inability of sound confirming what so confidently but groundlesly you have thereof affirmed as is any bear to be brought to the stake els why take you no notice of it when it is pressed upon you but let it sleep or slip away in silence as a thing that nothing concerned you Yea but those stupid Annotations are but an unseemly Commentary consisting of criticisms and fruitlesse expositions on Texts of Scripture against the whole current of antiqity reason and the very genuine sense of the words themselvs the fruits of a brain doating with age and of one become a child again in a word no better then a puddle of envy and non-sense Good Sir be pleased I beseech you to tel us who told you all this for I beleiv you never read any great part of the whole Commentarie it may be scarce had the patience to run over the whole Annotation to an end for you complain elswhere of the length of it and say as litle to that concerns you in it as if you had never read word of it Besides be it that you had turned over the whole Commentarie from the first Note to the last yet I suppose you wil hardly make many if any at all beleiv that you ar so wel acqainted with all Antiqitie or so wel versed and skilled in the Original Language and genuine sense of the Text as to pas out of your own knowledge such a censure as this upon any mans work and he were indeed a very selie man and wel worthy of much pity that would deem your censures of much worth or weight in a busines of this nature As for the Annotater and his work such as it is albeit he doubts not but that many wants and weaknesses defects and defaults may by a qick and peircing ey be descried in it yet he dares be so bold as with that aged Tragedian sometime upon occasion of the like-accusation to appeal and refer himself to the sentence of any ingenuous and judicious lerned whether his labors therein may deservedly be deemed the birth of one doating and so crackt-brained with age that he is become a child again or his expositions therein delivered such as this mans verdict if I may at least so term it here passed upon them affirms them to be And this yet I shal make bold to adjoin that they have so far forth attained approbation both at home and abroad that the Annotater hath ben importuned both by divers of his reverend brethren here and some also from forain parts to undertake the like pains on some other parts of Scripture unto whome his answer hath ben that neither his age or ability wil bear it nor is it so needful for him to undertake ought further therein since that some of the other parts have ben more exqisitely tho with les prolixity delt in by others it being not every ones facultie not his he is sure to write succinctlie and comprise much matter in few words by whom such an employment having fewer yeers and larger abilities may much better be performed But Sir whatsoever the Annotater may have done
