For where they call us Heretics, it is a crime so heinous, that onlesse it may be seen, unless it may be felt, & in manner may be holden with hands & fingers, it ought not lightly to be judged or believed, when it is laid to the charge of any Christian. For Heresy is a forsaking of Salvation, a renouncing of Gods Grace, a departing from the Body and Sprite of Christ.
