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

The Censure. SECT. II.

5 I thought at the first that the libeller had beene M. Parsons his Page, but now I perceiue he is but his Gleaner, * 1.1 whom indeed he followeth at the very heeles, and sometime (by his leaue) he lurcheth out of his sheaffe: for he begin∣neth his charge with manifest falshoods, and flatly contrary to his promise he vrgeth (Pag. 37. & 38.) my sentence con∣cerning the Nature of Heresie, which was obiected by M. Parsons. Secondly (pag. 14.) of the Not satisfying of his Ob∣iections: Thirdly (pag. 28. 29. 30.) he excepteth against the saying, That all Popish Priests hold that doctrine of Rebelli∣on: Fourthly (Pag 12.) he reprooueth that 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 all which were obiected by M. Parsons, and haue beene already answered in this Reckoning. It is likely that the Pamphleter will deale iustly with me, who thus grossy falsifieth his own absolute promise? We haue heard what he would not doe, (although he doth it.) In the next place let vs see what he intendeth to do although he can not do it, namely, to charge me with falsities; and this indeuoureth to performe both by the testimonies of others, and by his owne demonstrati∣ons. Of the first as followeth.

The Pamphleter.

His owne Brethren in religion haue charged him with abuse of * 1.2 authorities, which he hath committed in his booke against me, euen the Consenters vnto the booke intituled, A Christian and modest offer of a most indifferent Conference; who giue this censure against him, saying that the matter is pitifully shif∣ted off.

The Censure.

6 In the Full Satisfact. pag. 105. my words were these,

concerning the Kings Maiesties censure of an Annotation vpon 2. Chro. 15. 16. His Maiestie (said I) being so diuinely il∣lumiuated, could not take exception to the note, for any offence thereby giuen, but only in suspicion and iealouzie of some offence, which by some weake ones was taken thereby. This is the point, wherein I dare appeale vnto any Reader to iudge whether either the Libeller could call this a falshood; or that other Offerer of a conference, (whose humor was crossed in that an∣swer) call it a pitifull shifting, wherein notwithstanding they noted no falsification. Yet the Pamphleter is not content to * 1.3 obiect this (such is his rankor) once or twice, but often doth he inculcate it, that thereby he might interest me in his own propertie of wilfull falshood. Beside this testimonie, he in∣sisteth vpon demonstrations: some are generall, and others are particular. First of the generall.

The Pamphleter.

I had in my booke 2000 lines, and M. Doctor made shew to * 1.4 cite my very words, and wholly; yet doth not so much as mention 400. How then could he call it a Full Satisfaction?
