ANSWER. Can you never settle your Judg∣ment? will you let it ever be moved round with every blast of wind? Here our way to expiate sins is too easy. Pag. 144. it is a heavy yoake & a racke to souls. When you have expe∣rienced

When I say, you have tryed these for some months, if you continu in your opinion, that our way of expiating sins, is Easyer then yours, I shall think your common sense equall to your Piety, & admire both alike.

ANSWER. Here you deliver a dreame, as a certaine Truth. Cite the Council, name the Authour, of such à practice? If you can na∣me none, as I am sure you cannot, owne your selfe the inventer of this, which is to say, a Calumniator.
