A letter from the authour of Sure-footing, to his answerer

POSTSCRIPT.

IF you complain of this Fore-stalling as Vn∣usual; as long as 'tis rational you can have no reason to do so: and it will appear such to him that considers it was an unusual Circumstance occasion'd it. 'Tis this: I had endeavour'd to bring Controversie from an Endless to a Conclu∣sive Way: and both my Reason and Experience made me apprehend my Protestant Answerer would have such strong Inclinations to bring it bac•• into the way of quoting and glossing Testi∣monies (that is, into a wordish scanning a great part of all the Libraries in the World) that a slender touch at it in my Book was not forcible and express enough to oblige him to take notice of it. Having communicated therefore my thoughts with intelligent and ingenuous persons, both Catholiks and Protestants, and receiv'd their approbation, I resolv'd, and pursu'd it as you see; And I hope the manifold Usefulness of it (as shall be seen what way soever now you take upon you of answering) will sufficiently justify my Action.
