I promise a no\ice of Cole, one of Sibbes's publishers. I found it in Edwards's Gangrjena (2d^part, pp. 50, 51, edit. 1646), in an account of an interview in the shop of ' Mr Smith, Cornhill,' whereby it appears he was at one with Edwards as to ' Liberty of Conscience and Tolera- tions,'which were as 'the unpardonable sin' to the hot-headed and wrong-headed Presbyterian.
