22 Thus he runneth on with a personall and vnconscionable Inuectiue against me, euen vnto the end of the Paragraph; not yeelding one Syllable, in Answer to the point of Argument. It may be he would haue said something, if he had not run him∣selfe
out of breath; or else Aquila non capit muscas, he held it to be too Childish, and vnworthy his Answering: I am rather per∣swaded that he perceiued the full force thereof, which must be this, viz. That if this new maner of Mentall Equiuocation may be once got by hart of people, and serue to make a speech true, no man shall haue any neede of a lye, for couert of any guilt, because this Mentall euasion will be both as easie, and as secure as any lye; & consequently he shall be accounted the lyar, that shall giue any other the lye. I suppose my Reader will hold this to be an Argument, yea and peraduenture so forcible, that the prouerbe may be inuerted against M. Parsons, as thus, Musca non capit Aquilas; and therefore made he a shift to controle that, which he could not confute. Which will be apparant by the next point.
