I was musing a while what of the Ashford-Disputation this True Account could be truly counted a True Account of; for I found that it mentioned neither the number, nor the names of the Scribes that scrap't it, nor the Disputers that disputed it, nor the Arguments of more then one of those disputers, not all his Arguments, nor half the Respondents Answers, nor many more things that should be in it by right, nor many of those things rightly, that are in it by wrong; at last I had resolution here that 'twas A True, though short, Relation of the most materiall things that passed.
Yea Sirs? I assure you a good whipping is fitter for that disputation, then a printed Account of it to the world, unless on purpose to be laugh't at, that lasted •…•…o less then six hours, whereof five and an half past away mostly in Immaterials, and the odd five & an half too in such Immaterials as these you have here accounted for: and if these are the most material things that passed, how Immaterial (may the world well think) were the most Immaterial that passed in the Dispu∣tation, they surely were not worth one quarter of the while they past in.
Moreover that your Relation is Short, yea far short of the Disputation Rela∣ted I dare not deny, but dare you say it ore and o•…•…e again that 'tis a true one? how true it is, is so apparent by the preceding Ezamen of your Account, that I need not here so much as assert it to be false; I shall therefore say no more but thus, viz. Had you said [false] where you say [true] both here, and in your title page, where your—&c. is stiled A True Account, A True Relation, you had then said true without all question, but your saying [true] in these two places, where you should have said [false] hath made you speak falsly in both indeed.
