§ 1. Reverend and truly beloved Brother,
I Take it for no wonder that great and many disagreements in matters of Religion are among us, while in Professions of less Mystery (Law, Policy, Physics, Medicine, &c.) there are so many; that [so many men, so many minds] hath so long been a Proverb: And in such tolerable cases as much endanger not Church and Souls, few men are more for mutual forbearance and charitable construction than I am: Therefore the Millennial Opinion I have never been a censorious opposer of, while men kept up Peace and Charity with it.
