Reader,

THese few Lines were thought fit by some Persons of Note, to be published, which accordingly are: and I do heartily wish that Mr. Grantham would learn more Wisdom for time come, and not speak so wickedly (I can call it no other) as he hath done, for he speaks quite contrary to the currant of the Holy Scriptures, be they compared one with another, which indeed is the way to under∣stand them, &c. I am also credibly told, that you called the. Do∣ctrine of Election and Reprobation (in your Pulpit) damnable Do∣ctrine, &c. and one that heard you, came to your house, to tell you of it, being troubled about it, and you denied it? which he then made manifest to your Face, and then you said these words, viz. between You and I, I do say it is Damnable Doctrine, &c.

Oh horrible! that ever you should speak such a word as this is: the Lord help you now to amend (and all of us) what we have done amiss in any kind, and to do better for time to come: My Prayer shall be to God for you, to give you true wisdom in the My∣steries of his Will, contained in his Holy Word.

Vale.
