John setteth down in a more general manner doth strongly confirm this particular point. If any man sin not in word, he is a perfect man and able to bridle all the body. His meaning is not that some be absolute without sin in word, and perfect, without infirmity in goodness: but that many be gracious without sinfulness, though they have their slips, in speeches: and sincere, without wickedness, though they have their frailties, in behaviour.
