Dr. Reynolds justly chargeth him; yet we cannot but account it an happy effect of their Dispute, that it produced in print so excellent a Book as the Report of that Conference is, so full of all kinde of Learning pertinently ap­plied, and meeting with the shuffling shifting Papists at every turn.

Thirdly, If it were pertinent, and were also proved by Chro­nological History, it would serve but to make up a meer Hu­mane and Historical Faith, which is not effectual to Salvation; and the doubt of it where it is required and not proved (as it is no easie matter to do) may raise perplexing doubts and fears of salvation in weak, though well-minded Christians; as causing suspicious conceits of their being in a true Church, out of which, as out of Noahs Ark (the common saying is) none are sa­ved.WHERETO IS ADDED A Consolatory Letter to Dr. Bryan,&c. upon the death of his worthily well-beloved and much bewailed Son Mr. NATHANIEL BRYAN: Which immediately followeth after the Discourse of Disputations.

But if Bishops, it is enough to discredit all they do, for saith Mr. O. (and therein he bewrayeth his gross ignorance a­gain) Mr. O. in Dis­pute. p. 30. the Devil ordained the Pope, the Pope the Bishops, and the Bishops you, to Doctor Brian; how can you be true Mini­sters by him that was none himselfe? How he should be Learned who spends the most of his time as a Husbannman, unless, as Amos an Herdsman at Tekoa, he were divinely inspired, Amos 1.1. and cap. 17. ver. 14, 15. I cannot conceive: but if he be such a man as he taketh upon him to be, we may in his Name give answer to the Apostles que­stion, Who is sufficient for these things? 2 Cor. 2.16. Here is M. O. a man sufficient, and more than sufficient for the Ministry; for he can act the part of a laborious Husbandman six days to­gether, and on the seventh can perform the Office of a Spiri­tual Pastor to a Church or Congregation of Christians. And besides his Sermon-sufficiency, is so well furnisht with Polemi­cal Divinity, that he dare challenge our most learned Doctors to dispute with them in the greatest Assemblies; and if he may be allowed to report the passages of the Disputation, will baffle them in print into shameful silence, and leave them to be laugh­ed at.

If the Bishops were Popish and Antichristian, it doth not follow, that all they do is Popish and Antichristian.

Whether their knowledge be matutine and vespertine; which he takes occasion to dispute from the expression of Aug. Super Genes. ad lit. l. 2. c. 8. An­gustine.

First then, According to the religious Aphorism of [...]. Greg. Nazianz. Orat. 1. Tom. 1. p. 1. Na­zianzen, the work must begin with God, and end with God by prayers and praises, for he is the father of Lights, James 5.7. and can make dark things clear; and when he sets a light before men, he can open their eyes to see it, and bind their hearts to embrace it.

CHAP. V. Of the various Issues and Successes of Conferences, Colloquies and Disputations about matters of Religion.

Not so v. 14.
