But we, pleading fatigue, begged him to allow us two days of rest.

He has, however, invited a few of his fellows, and we are to wrestle with them this evening in argument.

How we shall get out of it I know not, for my head is altogether in ignorance of the points in issue.

However, there was, among the documents of the preachers, one setting forth the points in which the practice of the sect in England and Scotland differed, with the heads of the arguments to be used.

We have looked through these, and, as well as we could understand the jumble of hard words, have endeavored to master the points at issue, so we shall to-night confine ourselves to a bare exposition of facts, and shall put off answering the arguments of the other side until the drawn battle, which will be fixed for the day after to-morrow.
