The Scripture Gospel defended, and Christ, grace, and free justification vindicated against the libertines…

A Hundred of such Instances may be named, which have so ugly a countenance, that men that loved their Souls, will be affrighted from Antinomianism, by the reading of them. And I further tell you, that too sudden and eager disputing against Heresy, doth but engage men to stretch their wits to find out what to say to defend it, and to take those for Enemies to God and them, who shame their folly. And I must confess, that tho' I am much for Ministers associations and consultations in order to Concord and mutual Edification; I am not much for the way of deciding doctrinal Controversies ⟨p. 5⟩by majority of Votes, remembering what Councils have done that way these 1300 Years, and how often either error or unskilful decisions have the greater number; so that tho' now with us, they will consent against errors; it may be taken for a precedent for erroneous pluralities, to Tyrannize or tread down truth hereafter.

Ortho. But shall we therefore let Heresy spread unresisted.
