Together with a reply unto Dr. Hammonds vindication of his grounds of uniformity from 1 Cor. 14.40. By Henry Jeanes, minister of Gods Word at Chedzoy in Somersetshire.

Dr. Taylor.

Now although I know you could easily have understood what I did, and must 〈◊〉〈◊〉 〈◊〉〈◊〉; yet, because you are pleased not to do it, I shall point it to you.

〈◊〉〈◊〉.

I wonder why you should think it so easie a matter to understand your meaning, seeing you, who are the Author, 〈◊〉〈◊〉 from your self in 〈◊〉〈◊〉 what it is; for in your Letter unto Mr. C. you apportion'd this second Reason soley unto the 〈◊〉〈◊〉 Clause; That every man is inclined to evil, some more, some less, but all, 〈◊〉〈◊〉 some 〈◊〉〈◊〉∣stances is very true: And here in your Letter to me, you apply it unto the second Clause: It is an effect or condition of nature, but no sin 〈◊〉〈◊〉. Suppose I were at a loss, yet you have no reason to blame me, until you agree with your 〈◊〉〈◊〉: I have no Spectacles to look into your meaning, but your words, and that they 〈◊〉〈◊〉 rela∣ted onely unto one Proposition, as a reason thereof; and yet related to two Propo∣sitions, as a proof of each, was a thing that I could never 〈◊〉〈◊〉 〈◊〉〈◊〉, 〈◊〉〈◊〉

cannot yet understand; and herein, I am afraid, you are as unable to teach me 〈◊〉〈◊〉 〈◊〉〈◊〉 can be, as I am uncapable of learning; but if you can teach any such thing unto me, you shall finde me, though perhaps not an apt, yet a willing and thankful Scholar: But to deal plainly with you, I am very confident that your words in themselves hold forth neither of those senses that you propound; and if by 〈◊〉〈◊〉 of argument you can prove either of them from your words, you shall have my most 〈◊〉〈◊〉 and subm ssive 〈◊〉〈◊〉 of my mistake, and shall have full leave to prescribe me as publick and shameful a satisfaction, as you can think on; unto which, I do 〈◊〉〈◊〉 to conform my 〈◊〉〈◊〉. But let us hear how you point out your meaning to me.
