I have sent you my Answers to Mr Hook & P. Pardies, wch I hope will bring with ym yt satisfaction wch I promised. And as there is nothing in Mr Hooks Considerations wth wch I am not well contented, so I presume there is as little in mine wch he can excep against, since you will easily see that I have industriously avoyded ye intermixing of oblique & glancing expressions i{illeg}|n| my discourse. So yt I hope it will be needlesse to trouble the Heads of ye R. Society to adjust matters. However if there should be any possibly be any thing esteemed of yt kind, I desire it may be interpreted candidly & with respect to M|th|e contents of Mr Hooks Considerations, & I shall readily give way to ye mitigation of whatsoever ye Heads of ye R. Society shall esteem personall. And concerning my former Answer to P. Pardies, I resigne to you ye same liberty wch he hath done for his Objections, of mollifying any expressions that may have a shew of harshnesse.
