Saturday No Sabbath, Postscript
POST-SCRIPT.
READER,
I Thought good to give notice, that at the end of this laſt D…spute, I promiſed that which is now by the Providence of GOD performed, viz. an ac…ount of all the Arguments and Anſwers inſiſted on in the ſeveral Diſputations: this promiſe being made publickly, before the meeting was diſſolved, Doctor Chamberlain, and Mr. Tillam, and Mr. Coppinger being then preſent: at which time, Doctor Chamberlain told me, That if I would print but two Arguments that he would ſend to me, with Anſwers to them, I might print what I would; I thereupon told him, that I would not onelyonly print and anſwer his two Arguments, but alſo (God aſſiſting) I would anſwer what other Arguments that either be or any of them ſhould ſend to me, provided they ſent them within fourteen dayes after: and for this 14 dayes, I ſtaid 21 days, in all which time I heard not a word from any of them; …o, nor ſo much as an excuſe from Doctor chamberlain, though he did publickly challenge me to anſwer his two Arguments, and as faithfully promiſe to ſend them to my houſe: which I wonder at, ſeeing he hath divers times paſt by my door ſince then, (as I have been informed) and yet never ſo much as left a word about it.
This I am provoked to certifie, leſt any that heard this promiſe from Doctor Chamberlain, ſhould think that I had received his Arguments and concealed them; the thought of any ſuch thing is far enough from the heart of him that is,
