 Dr. Petty, (whom they were pleased to call their Fox) Every Goose having his part assigned. Upon Consideration of all which laborious Artifices, I onely offer; Whether a vast publique work, having been done, and no reward given me, the principal Labourer in it, it had not been more honest and Christian to have taken the like care to do it? Or at least to have first conferred and expostulated with me, concerning the most palpable miscarriages apprehended; and together with an Enquiry into what Evill I had done, to have enquired also, of the contrary, with Consideration as well from what obvious Enormities I had kept my self free, as of what I had been guilty: and then and not till then to have proceeded according to the heaviest side of the Scales. In order whereunto I shall assist all charitable Justiciaries (who have a mind to supply what this furious Knight has over-run) with the following List of Interrogatories, relating to the Avarice, Injustice, fraud, unfaitfulness, Scoffing, Oppressing of the lower party, contempt of Churches, &c. Unto some of all which, all the distasts of my Adversaries may be referred.
