IF Ja. Godfreys Queries to Geo. Pitt, which is added to this Relation, had been all answered; then F. F. might have expected an answer to his Counter-queries; but I shall leave them to him to whom they were directed, That if he see any thing worth an answer, he may write to it, if he be free. And seeing they are of so little weight, arising onely from a busie minde,
I shall take the counsel of such a one as Paul the aged in this particular, to shun prophane and vain bablings, which genders strife, and tends to more ungodliness, not doting about questions and strife of words, whereof cometh envies, evil furmising, and perverse disputing with men of corrupt mindes, reprobate concerning the Faith, and destitute of the truth, who do suppose that gain is godliness. But to me it is no advantage to fight with Beasts, if the dead do not rise; neither would I be found as one beating the air, or boasting in another mans line, or answering a fool in his fol∣ly: But if any ask a reason of the hope that is in me, I am and shall be ready with meekness and fear, to give an answer as God gives a mouth and wisdom, whose counsel and di∣rection I still wait for. And so unto him in weldoing I commit the keeping of my soul, as unto a faithful Creator.
