We have had an Account long ago from an Hebrean about forty Miles from London, of the Inftitution of this Club, of their Refolutions to bully us out of the Scriptures, and of their Offers to him if he would be their Catsfoot; who having read Mr. Hutchinfon's Works, laughed at them. We are in the Cafe of the Armies of Ifrael, we want not great Numbers, let those who are afraid of being called Names, or, &c. return home; because in this War, Rev. xxi. 8. the Fearful are the firft who are to be caft into the Lake.

Though they give us not their Names, you may know what they are by their Creeds. The Observator says, p. 29. Philo Judæus fpeaks fo excellently of one God and his two Powers about him, one of which he calls God, the other Lord: 30. The Unity of the divine Effence, the Diftinction of the Perfons, and the Incarnation of the Son of God I fully own. 36. That the facred Trinity is the fupream Being, which we call God, and that Princes and Magiftrates are called Gods, &c. The firft Part hereof, is fully proved in this Century, by the most able Divines of the Church of England. 38. I own that the Trinity in Unity, the InCarnation of the Son of God, the CoveS 4

nant from all Eternity to redeem loft Man, and the Execution of it by Christ Jefus, as our Mediator, and the Duties arifing from thence, which we owe to God, &c. The Apoftate Jews have given us many better Confeffions than these, nay, these are not only every one modern Evafions, but abfolute Denials, and Banters of the Trinity, &c. as ambiguously and nearly in the fame Terms, as their Brethren the Jews, who pretend to be converted, do. Mofes fine Principio, p. 22. Hebrew Writings perfect, p. 338,. 339, 340. See Definition of Jehovah. Glory or Gravity, p. 232. See Definition of the Son of God. And fee the Religion of Satan, and about what he calls the Eternal Covenant, in Hebrew Writings perfect. Their own Expreffions fay, they mean nothing by the Trinity, but the Imaginations of Philo, about his Deus and his two powerful Ones; of Whifton, about his primitive Christianity; of Clark, and Sir Ifaac, a bout their Deus and their two Creatures, &c. as you may fee Glory or Gravity, p. 90. with reference to the Pages in Philo; nay, befides thefe, every Expreffion they ufe, is to affert or infinuate Atheism, which has been foolishly called Herefy,

fo as to evade every Point of Christianity : This is the Gospel thefe propagate, so they and their Followers are in a worfe State than the Heathens were; they had a real Object in three Conditions, which they worshipp'd and fuppofed to be, and called their Aleim and their eos, but were not fo; these have nothing but Imagination, which cannot be a God, as Eph. ii. 12. Remember that at that time ye were without Chrift, being Aliens from the Commonwealth of Ifracl, and Strangers from the Covenants of Promife, having no Hope, and without God in the World's fo Atheists, therefore much more are thefe fo, these are the Gentlemen, and this is the Doctrine Mr. H has writ againft, and the Sermon was preached againft, and which the Hebrew Text has destroyed.

We are not dealing with Greek, with Fathers, with Opinions of Writers, he is here in a Cafe he never was in before. Here is pofitive undeniable Evidence: He dare not take a Sentence as it ftands, affirm or deny, or reafon, but under Pretence that it is not to be understood, or that he understands it not, makes any, or every Word or Sentence, another Word or another Sentence, or Nonfenfe, and

then finds fault with what he has made; cites of his Authorities to difprove it ; and instead of calling himself, calls Mr. Catcott Names. With fuch Jargon as this, he has kept others, who were fo filly as to follow him, in play for many Years; his fole Bufinefs is to mix, twist and confound Words or Things, fo as to make the World believe, that neither what Mr. Catcott has writ, nor what he has writ, nor the Subjects they write upon, are to be understood. Would you have me to condefcend to their way of Talking, or his, who perfonates them, call Fool where he is forced to act Call, him Lyar where he did not dare speak the Truth, compare them to Fools or Madmen, and leave the Caufe, which is all they want; be as filly as the Irish- were, who were invited, and went to a Bear-baiting while the Bill paffed that, &c. I fhall treat them otherwife. Tis nothing to the Purpofe here for him to fay, the Apoftate Jews fay fo, and the other Languages they formed or forged, and conftrued, and made Lexicons for, or Grammars of, fince they were Apoftates, are conftrued and formed fo, or that he, as great an Apoftate as any of them, fays fo; nor faying there is no fuch Inftance, nor any Rule in any of their Languages

Languages to fupport this: It is otherwife by the Points and Rules the Apoftates have made for the Hebrew, and for all their other Languages. His Allies, before they knew what to evade, and before they were fo wicked as he is, have in the LXX given their Evidence for me, and that determines the Cause. The Apoftates fay, the Day the LXX was published their Faces turned black-, &c. Several of these Men, befides the other Marks, have this upon them. As the Followers of the Apoftate Jews have drawn in the Party, and this Juggler does not know the Letters of the Bible; they have retain'd one who follows none else, and made him the Catsfoot, to venture burning for them, to help them out if he could, or bear the Blame; one would take him to be one that knows nothing, but a SchoolMafter finding Fault with another, for not, right or wrong, obferving his Master's Rules, and treats him as they do Boys, with ipfe dixits; but the Party had no better Cards, fo no other Game to play by him. As thefe affume the Air of Religion, being in earnest and grave, they have fupplied them with a Droll or more. This Species are fo numerous, that I only guefs who he is. If the Party had had any Thing to offer, they would never have made
