7. I am fully satisfied that even good […] are here so far from Perfection, that they must bear ⟨p. 78⟩with odious faults and injuries in one another, and be habituated to a ready and easy forbearing and forgiving one another. I will not so much as describe or denominate Mr. Danvers Citations of Dr. Pierce, to prove my Popery and Crimes, nor his passages about the Wars, and about my Changes, Self-contradictions, and Repentances, lest I do that which savoureth not of Forgiveness: O what need have we all of Divine Forgiveness!

8. I shall yet less believe what any Mans Opinion (yea or Practice) is by his Adversaries Sayings, Collections, Citations, or most vehement Asseverations, than ever I have done, though the Reporters pretend to never so much Truth, and pious Zeal.
9. I shall less trust a confounding ignorant Reader or Writer, that hath not an accurate defining and distinguishing Understanding, and hath not a mature, exercised, discerning Knowledge than ever I have done; and especially if he be engaged in a Sect (which alas, how few parts of the Christian World escape!)

When I write against the Persecutors, I am one of the Sectaries, and when I write against the Sectaries, I am of the Persecutors side: If I belie not the Prelatists, I am a Conformist: If I belie not the Anabaptists, Independents, &c. I am one of them: If I belie not the pists, I am a Papist; if I belie not the Arminians, I am an Arminian; if I belie not the Calvinists,
