〈◊〉〈◊〉 all this, you have used your pleasure upon me; you have reviled me, slighted me, scorned me, untempted, unprovoked; you never sent to me civilly to give you satis∣faction in your Objections, but talked it my absence, and to my prejudice.
Unto all this, a general negative is a sufficient answer, until I know the Parti∣culars that your Delator hath informed you with; but perhaps, you may think that for such an obscure person as my self, to dare to except against what you write, is to revile, slight, and scorn you; if you be so impatient of contradiction, I shall leave it unto your own bosom to judge from what spirit it proceeds: When you published your Book, you exposed it to every mans censure that would read it; and will you accuse every man of uncivility that passeth his censure upon any passage in it, in a private discourse with friends? But Sir, upon Mr. C. his entreaty, I sent him in writing the reasons that I had for my censure, and these reasons were by my con∣sent to be conveyed to you, and therefore I sent unto you mediately by another to give satisfaction to my objections: If you shall say that 'twas uncivil for me not to make my address immediately unto your self, it is a charge will easily be wiped off; I was, as I thought, an utter stranger unto you, and Mr. C. professed a greet ac∣quaintance with, and interest in you, and assured me that my Exceptions should be received with all possible candor, and promised his diligence and 〈◊〉〈◊〉 in con∣veying of them unto 〈◊〉〈◊〉 my objections therefore were sent civilly unto you, though sent by him; but however you are thus 〈◊〉〈◊〉, the Reader, I hope, will have a more charitable opinion of my procedure herein, and think, that you have no reason to make such 〈◊〉〈◊〉 Out-crys against me for abusive uncivilities towards you.
