1. The question is not, what Kingdom the Apostles meant in their Querie, which Divines generally consent, to be an earthly Kingdom. But whether they did not erre in meaning thus. So that this part of your answer having relation onely to what Kingdom they meant, is nothing to the purpose, and wee have answered you in that already, more then wee need have done; un∣lesse you had named plainly, what other Kingdom they spake of, and stood to that onely.
2. What you give with one hand you plucke backe with the o∣ther. In the former part of this answer you say that [it was likely the Apostles understood of the true Kingdom of Israel, as Christ did,] and yet here you tell us that [it was not unlikely, that before Christ's ascension they might be miscaried with that opinion of the Jewish Mon∣archy.] What, and yet when they askt the Question, understand it too of the true Kingdom of Israel, which you by opposing this part of your answer to the former, doe take to be a different Kingdom from this? surely it is a plaine contradiction; for they could not understand it both waies at the same time. And there∣fore impossible it was, that they could, and could not meane an earthly Kingdom, when they askt the Question. But, Rome Ti∣bur amas ventosus, Tibure Romam; you say, and unsay, because you know not what to say. And as for the instance you bring to confirme this part of your answer, to wit [the Apostles not beleeving [for a time] the calling of the Gentiles,] it hath been already shewed to be false. And if by the words [as Christ did] in the former part of this answer, you meane his reply to the theife, which you have quoted before, it hath been shewed already too, that it could not be meant of this Kingdom: but if by these words you meane otherwise, you should have told us what it was.
