BEcause this is a matter of great importance, I mean to stay my self * 1.1 vpon this point, and to shew that it is indeede a substantiall signe distinctiue betweene all Sectaries and vs at this time; and that in matters of Controuersie, our Writers shall neuer be found guiltie of these kinds of false, iying, and malicious Equiuocations, where not on∣ly * 1.2 vntruth is vttered, but it is willingly also vttered, the Writer know∣ing that he writeth an vntruth: which manner of dealing, argueth two points, the one, that such a writer hath no conscience, that vttereth that which God seeth to be false, and falsly meant in his heart; and the other, that his cause hath no ground of substantiall truth, which can∣not be defended without such wilfull lies. In this then, if it please you, insist a while, and let Mr. Morton bring foorth in Print, any Catholicke Author that wrote against Protestants, since these heresies began, that hath beene taken in this impietie: I meane, that hath set downe in Print any such falsitie as cannot be excused either by ignorance, ouer∣sight, negligence, error of Print, translation, diuersitie of Editions, or the like: but that it must needs be presumed that he knew the vntruth, and yet would set it foorth; of this kind, I say, let him shew me but one example among all Catholicke Writers of our time, and I will in my Conscience greatly mistrust and discredite that Author, whether it be an other, or my selfe: but if he shew me two or three in any Writer in this kind, I shall be hardly able euer after to beleeue him more. And whereas the number and varietie of Catholicke Writers is so great, as the world seeth, it were no great labour to shew it in some, if that spirit doth raigne among them, as it doth among Protestant Writers.
The encounter against M. Parsons, by a revievv of his last sober reckoning, and his exceptions vrged in the treatise of his mitigation. Wherein moreouer is inserted: 1. A confession of some Romanists, both concerning the particular falsifications of principall Romanists, as namely, Bellarmine, Suarez, and others: as also concerning the generall fraude of that curch, in corrupting of authors. 2. A confutation of slaunders, which Bellarmine vrged against Protestants. 3. A performance of the challenge, which Mr. Parsons made, for the examining of sixtie Fathers, cited by Coccius for proofe of Purgatorie ... 4. A censure of a late pamphlet, intituled, The patterne of a Protestant, by one once termed the moderate answerer. 5. An handling of his question of mentall equiuocation (after his boldnesse with the L. Cooke) vpon occasion of the most memorable, and feyned Yorkeshire case of equiuocating; and of his raging against D. Kings sermon. Published by authoritie
