A DEFENCE OF Gospel-Truth,
THE Reverend Opposer of my Book having as yet offer'd so little of Argument against my Assertions, my Reply must be short to what he hath said; and shall therefore chuse another method than what his Book prescribes. His unusual Reflections I dare not return, being awed by Him who chargeth me not to render railing for railing, 1 Pet. iii. 9. and hath declared, that the Wrath of Man worketh not the Righteousness of God: Happy they, and likely to arrive at Truth, that are foreign, Eph. iv. 15. truthing it in love. The weight of the Points in debate will not allow me to be Pedantick; nor can I bid at childish Jests, without suspecting my Mind in a Case unfit for Serious Thoughts, or the Aids of the Spirit in search for Truth; neither is it allow'd Tit. ii. 7. in Doctrine shewing Gravity, &c. IThe Method. shall therefore proceed in this method: 1. Shew how he mistakes and misrepresents my Principles against the plain Words of my Book, even where I mention them as my positive Judgment. 2. I shall endeavour to make the most material things more evident to the ordinary Reader. 3. I shall instance some of Mr. Chancy's Principles, which he asserts, and labour to let thee see where we differ, and what's the Judgment of others in these things. 4. I shall briefly reply to what else is material in his Book, that falls not under the former Heads.
