strained there is in it much of the letter, plain common reading to be understood see the end of its quoting here, Mat. 12. 20. Christ cha●ged the great multitude that followed him, that they should not make him known, (He knew fame made his adversary's malice rise, and so endangered his person to their wrath before the time.) Now for end, a charge from Christ to them now, the Evangelist brings a Text (Esay 42-beginning) It's said by Esay the Prophet (the mouth of God) God's servant, chosen, beloved, shall not strive, nor cry, neither shall any man hear his voice in the streets, a bruised reed shall he not break, and smoking flax shall he not quench, until he bring forth judgement to victory. Which I thus understand, Christ shall not make himself known, he sh●ll not strive, neither like a champion with a shout rush on, and overco●…e vide I●…sh. 6. 18. he shall not break a reed already bruised, quench flax already smoking, as a snuff at the extinguishing of a candle, Esay 43. 17. until he shall judge victoriously. vid. Esay. 42. 4. Rev. 19 11. 17.  
Object. 8. If the men would fairly frame that part remaining of the Question into an Objection, it should be thus, H●w Ministers should not c●n●est for such a large and unlimited power to exclude poor Christian brethren from the Sacram●nt, when not actually excommunicated from the Church, and from other Ordinances, as some pretend to, since of Christians receive unworthily, the iniquity (as yourselves bold when any hear the word unworthily, unprofitably) is their own, not the Ministers. And is this most profane? as your Answerer saith the objection is▪ but I hold the empiric calls that (now I mind it) o●j●ction profane, which is of his own compounding, which he answers (briefly) thus In preaching the word to them who are hardened by it▪ the Minister seeks and hopes to do good: but in giving the Sacrament to sc●ndal●…us impenitent persons they know they give that which will certainly bring judgement. Truly, (in a word) the man hath lost the chase, he hath forgot (or wilfully mistakes changes) the Question. For the Querist endeavours nor (as is apparent) to have scandalous sinners and impenitent receive the Sacrament (he wo●ld have such actually excommunicated from the Church, and from all other ordinances besides and as well as this) but would have Christian Brethren (those not excommunicated) to p●rticipate of this Ordin●nce.  
Next the Answerer concludes, (I profess) like himself, as w●nt, he bestows, on his adversary, Antagonist, Pride; Antichrisianism d●●g●●ous opposition &c. On his arguments, most absurdity, ●●…ationality contrariety to m●nifest truth. And thus Exit like the creatures of billingsgate ashore— Railing.
