Answer.

Your Query intimates that their words import so much. If so, then I demand of you, 1. Whether a lying pen be any sign of a wise man? 2. Whether it be any sign of Wis∣dom, Meekness, Humility, or the Spirit, to call Six thou∣sand Persons Fools, for that which it is evident they never spake, or before you are able to understand plain english? It is the Matter of the Petition that we say, [is the same] and not the persons that we prefer it to. Nay, the contrary is expressed; for we distinguish between petitioning God and men.
