A second part of The mixture of scholasticall divinity, with practical, in several tractates: wherein some of the most difficult knots in divinity are untyed, many dark places of Scripture cleared, sundry heresies and errors refuted ... Whereunto are annexed, several letters of the same author, and Dr. Jeremy Taylor, concerning Original Sin. 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.

For cujus est loqui, ejus est interpretari.

Jeanes.

I shall willingly grant you all fair liberty of interpreting your self, so you do it lo∣gically and rationally; but that which you expect, is rather a licentiousness, then a true liberty of interpretation.

First, You would have a license of 〈◊〉〈◊〉, to carry your words where you please; you would have the second reason placed betwixt the two Propositions, and before the first Reason; thus in your Letter to Mr. C.

〈◊〉〈◊〉, You usurp the license of interposition, to put in what you please; as when in this Letter you adde the Epithets of natural and necessary to sin.

And thirdly, You take up a strange license in exposition of your Terms; for if you cannot justifie what you say, if such a term in your words be taken in the common

and usual sense: Then you impose upon me an unusual, that I say not a new and un∣heard of signification thereof. Thus you deal with the word Essential.

And lastly, You assume a license of contradiction, to contradict your self, to say and unsay; one while to make this your meaning, and another time to make that which is contrary your meaning; and you think that I am obliged to take these con∣trary meanings to be both your meanings.

Surely Sir, if you can get a Patent for these four Licenses, you will, for matter of Disputation, be shot-free and invulnerable; your Opponents may 〈◊〉〈◊〉 their caps at you, but not an Argument of theirs can touch you.
