Although A friendly debate was published anonymously, it was soon known that the author was Simon Patrick, rector of St Paul's Covent Garden, a popular preacher, and hitherto regarded as sympathetic towards Dissenters. Pittis, Thomas (A private conference between a rich alderman and a poor country vicar made public, London 1670 Google Scholar [Wing P.2316], 160) joked that the author was ‘no less than an Irish saint, although at present an English pilgrim’ (a reference to Patrick's The parable of the pilgrim [London 1665]), and Rolle referred to ‘your Pilgrim’: A sober answer, 79.
