John Morse,

UNderstanding that thou hast made use of my Name to so evil a purpose, as to charge upon it Error if not Blasphemy, upon occasion of a Book lately writ by me, in Defence of the Light and Divinity of Christ; and not being unwilling to have such Reflections past unexamin'd; These are to let thee know, that I expect thy Proof, if any thou hast, that if it be true, I may take Shame to my self in the ingenuous Acknowledgment of my Fault; or else, that thou dost confess, thou hast unworthily traduc'd me.

Rickmansworth, the 25th of the 10th Moneth, 1672.

Great is the Truth, and it shall pre∣vail; I am therein a Friend to thee and all men W.P.

In Answer to which he sent me the following Letter, so writ and phrais'd verbatim.
