IT does not Surprize us to be Evilly Intreated, and especially by those that have an Interest in doing it.

But if Conscience prevailed more than Con­tention, and Charity over-ruled Prejudice, we might hope for fairer Quarter from our Adversaries.

But such is our Unhappiness, that nothing less will satisfie them, than breaking in upon the Indulgence that we enjoy; if they could perswade the Government to Second their Attempts to a new Persecution.

In Order to which, we perceive they have been hard at Work, to Pervert our Books, Violate our Sense, Abuse our Practice, and Ridicule our Persons; knowing very well with whom they have to do, and that the Patience of our Profession is their Security in Abusing of it.

However, if it has Weight enough with our Superiours to Expect a Fresh Defence of our Principles and Practices, we shall (with God's Assistance) be ready for their Satisfaction, once more, to Justifie both, against the In­sults of our Restless Adversaries: Who, otherwise, we take leave to say, would not deserve our Notice; since we have already Repeatedly Answered their Objecti­ons in Print, and think it our Duty as well as Wisdom to use the Liberty, the Government has favoured us with, in as Peaceable and Inoffensive a manner as may be.
