37. In your judging of Discipline, reformation, and any means of the Churches good; be sure your eye be upon the true End; and upon the particular Rule; and not on either of them alone. Take not that for a means which is either contrary to the Word of God; or is in •ts nature destructive of the end.
38. Neglect not any truth of God; much less renounce it, or deny it. But yet do not take it for your duty to publish all, which you judge to be truth; nor a sin to silence many lesser truths, when the Churches peace and welfare doth require it.
39. Know which are the Great duties of a Christian life, and wherein the nature of true Religion doth consist: And then pretend not any lesser duty, against these greater; though the least when it is indeed a duty, is not to be denied or neglected.
