Fowler FRiend seeing thou art so high in thy spirit against us and against the truth which we professe and from time to time dost open thy mouth so wide in Justification of thy self and thy practices and in false charges against us and though we have had divers meetings and and the differences between us allwayes appeared greater and greater therefore this I propound unto thee Whether thou wilt give another meeting of open dispute for the tryal of thee and thy wayes and of us and the truths which we hold forth for the satisfaction of the people and these things following I propound as the subject matter worthy to be handled which may discover thee and us to the satisfaction of all that desires in that case First What be the evident signes and tokens of a wolf in sheeps clothing and whether thou or wee in the sight of the people and of the Lord God can clear our selves to be clear and free from the marks and signes of such aforesaid Secondly whether wilt thou stand to be tried in thy Ministry in thy Call to it practice in it and maintenance of it by and according to the Scriptures of the old and new tement wilt thou admit of tryal of thy Church and worship and Ministry thereby and this being done we do engage to suffer the like tryal in any part and every part of our Religion Thirdly whether there be any other Foundation of Faith c. for the people of God at this day then Jesus Christ onely and alone and whether he was not the foundation to the Fathers before the Scriptures were written and whether he that layes or preaches any other foundation doth not dishonor Christ and spoke contrary to the Scriptures These things with some others which we may have occasion to spake of are we willing to discourse with thee for the further clearing of the truth and laying open deceit for yesterday I had much more to have spoken to thee hadst thou not gone so hastily away so if thou art willing to joyne in discourse with me again appoynt place and howre either this day or to morrow for my occasions will admitt of either of these two dayes allwayes provided that we may have all moderation and may proceed in meeknesse like men and not like raylers as thou appeared yesterday to thy own shame An answer hereof we do expect with speed and we are Friends to all that love righteousnesse E.
