The Reueiwe.
20. Be pleased (good Reader) to looke vpon the place it selfe, and if M. Parsons haue dealt sincerely in this point of Reckoning, then discharge him in all the rest.
I writ thus con∣cerning Goodman: h 1.1 Here is one Goodman who in his pub∣lique booke doth maintaine them. I haue no other meanes to a∣uoyde these straits, which you obiect by the example of one, to conclude All Protestants rebellious, then by example of all the rest, to answere there is but one.
Particularly intreating of the examples of English Protestants, whom the Moderate Answe∣rer* 1.2 had obiected, and spending the whole third Chapter for the iustifying of the English Writers, excepting Goodman, whom I there held worthy of condemnation.
21. After, in the fourth Chapter, intituled [The obiections against the Church of Scotland] I answered (as is aforesaid) for the condemning of Knoxe and Buchanan: whereas there is not so much as any intimation of these two in the other place: Was there euer man so distortedly squint-eyed, who could looke North-ward and South-ward in one moment, as M. Parsons hath done, who could not distinguish the speech, which particularly concerned England, from that which was applied onely vnto Scotland. Hee held it sufficient, if I could shew but Three plaine falshoods for his conuiction, here we finde in this one charge Three, which are not of the least size.
