You see that Azorius forbiddeth onely, that words, which haue * 1.1 but one onely naturall sense and signification, and are not ambi∣guous, or of diuers sense, should be vsed by the speaker in any o∣ther signification, then naturally, or by common vse among men they doe yeeld: As for example, if one that had an Horse, and not an Oxe, should be demanded whether he had any Horse, hee should say, No, meaning that he had no Oxe, for that hee conceiued an Oxe for an Horse; this were not lawfull, saith Azor, in the vse of wordes, because the word Horse hath but one proper meaning amongst men, and can∣not signifie an Oxe: and consequently cannot be so taken, but by a lie. But if the word Horse had a doubtfull or double signification, fig∣nifying as wel an Oxe as an Hors, then might a man vse the amphibo∣logie of the word, to auoyd any iniury offered him by an incompetent Iudge, as Azor himselfe determineth. Who would thinke then that a * 1.2 man of common sense, or of any mean modesty, and care of his credite would haue alleadged Azor so confidently against his Aduersary, as M. Morton doth? and that which is most ridiculous, so to insult against him, as he doth against me here, saying, P. R. maintaineth that his mentall Re∣seruation is a truth, but Azorius concludeth that it is a lie. And can there be any greater contradiction then this? &c.
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
