IN the very portall or En­trance of this Tractate, friendly Dialogue, or zea­lous commerce, we intend to diſcourſe, touching the Etimologie of your late publiſhed Pamphlet, which in reſpect our Anſwer was not ſufficiently punctuall, therefore we have ſingled out this opportunitie, for a more edifying conference.

Too't roundly then, and as I firſt began to write, ſo you to ſpeak?

And for my part I'le hold with the wiſeſt.

Then thus deer brother, I do much ad­mire that you being of ſo neer affinity to us in Reli­gion can find no means to conjoyn an vnity?

Only perverſneſſe in the vnitage of your circular opinions, being grounded on nothing but the ends of the Coblers ſimplicity, whoſe long ſtitches I fear in concluſion, will go neer to loſe your ſoules from the vpper leather.

H•s words are dangerous, expound it well, ſtick but cloſe to him, you'l put him in a Tub?

That's my deſire, and had J him but once there, I'de all I wiſh't for, aſſiſt me then.

Aſsiſt ye, I'le firſt hang ye, do I come hither as a Conſtable to command you to keep the Kings peace, and learn a new religion, for to help you out before you are in.

Dear brother Ruttlehead, did you but know the path, that perfect rode, by which, tread the rea­dy way to heaven, you'd ſoon renounce your church you follow now, and turn to us.

Your doctrine ſhould be better firſt?

Would you but grant attenſion, hear me ſpeak, and but compare your form of government with ours, I'de ſoon tranſport you to a haven of hap­pineſſe, by changing your opinion, and confute you by your own words.

Do ſo, and win me, make it appear by grave diſpute what you have ſaid: and firſt begin to nominate thoſe orders (wherein we differ) that are ſo highly extol'd by you.

I ſhall do that, and more to gain a ſoule.

Here is like to be a game well plaid, when ſoules are at ſtake?

Firſt, then as for our Church, I mean the viſible and ſelect Church, not the ſhadow which you ſo much adore, full of Papiſticall Images.

No, a Barn?

You interrupt me, and miſconſter to my reall meaning, that ſame Church: I ſay, whereas the brethren and the holy Siſters meet, where you ſhall ſee a man vnlearned, divinely expound vpon a piece of Scripture, delivering nothing but by inſpirations, no toralogicall expreſſions, or Scolaſticall ſentences whereby to hinder the benefit of the attentive Audi­tory: after him a Siſter, whoſe zeal towards the Church is inexpreſſible, that delivers nothing but what the Spirit moves; is your form of teaching then like ours?

No, nor is it fit it ſhould be: ſince when I pray was this ſame new found Platforme of teach­ing invented, when inſtituted, who are your Authors for this your admirable device; away with this ſim­plicity, either ſpeak wiſer, or not at all.

It ſeemes then any thing concerning our Church will not be allowed on, how ſtand you then affected towards your own,

As every true Chriſtian ought, maintain it with my blood, and vttermoſt endeavors.

Say you ſo, can that houſe ſtand, whoſe principle foundation is defective; or can that Church be the true Church, whoſe principal heads are the in­ſtigators vnto evill: Rat. you cannot lay that aſper­ſion vpon vs. Ro. yes, & moſt juſtly too; what are thoſe neither Rattle-heads nor Roundheads, I'm ſure they are wicked heads.

Now Sir you have hit the mark, your do­cumenting Tayler, never put a yard into your hand that made better meaſure then this: I muſt confeſſe that they are guilty, and have been a diſhonour to the Church, but wherewithall do you accuſe them.

Hold, hold my Maſters, I came to be part­ners with you in your Religions, but now I fear you'l turn Cat ith' pan and be both one; and ſo betwixt two ſtooles, my arſe fall in ground.

So ſhall we be both happy, and like bro­thers embrace with affectionate zeal: but tell us thy opinion concerning our argument.

Truly Sir, to ſpeak my minde of Rattle­heads, Roundheads, Loggerheads, &c. I am of the opinion, there is never a barrell better herrïng.

Short and ſweet, Iack of both ſides, but brother Roundhead what ſay you to the former pro­poſition concerning the heads we ſpake laſt of.

As for his Graceleſſe Grace theſe ſhall be my objections againſt him: by his uncontroulable hand at Lambeth, he made the High Commiſsion his Delegat, his Creature, his Fawn, his obliged ſervant; his tyrannie over good and able Miniſters, inſomuch as their ears became as familiar as ſheeps ears; and ſo cheap as they hung upon that Babylonian image Cheapſide-Croſse like labels, that if any wanted a pain they might have an eaſie penniworth in them: if theſe be in his commendations, I wil ſpeak of him everla­ſtingly.

J muſt confeſſe this ſame little man hath many great faults, yet when error is like to incur, a ſpeedy cenſure, and ambition were it never ſo over­topping like to ſuffer. Humanity cannot chuſe but find a teare, and Piety a ſigh, at the ſurvay of ſuch a ſight. To ſee the Metropolitan of a flouriſhing K ng­dome loſe his head, is•o ordinary Spectacle.

The ſooner, the better: ſuch an ordinarie would I give twelve pence but to look at.

I muſt confeſſe it would be no great eye ſore nor hearts griefe to me neither.

Sith, then we are almoſt reduced to one opinion, be conformable to us in vniting your ſelves to us in Religion, and ſo make us all happie.

As for that, my mind is altogether con­trary to all your precepts therin contained, contra­dicting us eſpecially concerning your Church go­vernment; we therefore ſhall take further time to diſcourſe of it: but for this ſubject, wherin we agree together, if it be your pleaſure, wee petition the Par­liament for a redreſſe, I ſhall aſſiſt you.

With all my heart.

And ſince we writ invective Songs one againſt the other in our former books, let vs now ſing old roſe over a pint of ſack, and jovn our me­thods together to compound one vnanimous thing to the former purpoſe.
