¶Temporiser. Truly I do not allow those, that do rather allege for examples the thing that is wicked, then that which is commendable: but for all that I think it cannot be denied, but that we may excuse the infirmity of our faith, by the infirmity of the Saints, without being judged and condemned for wicked, more than they: or as people having renounced the known verity, because we dare not publicly confess the same.
