Reconcil. There is no man without many Errors: And do not all desire that others should take that for Truth, which they take to be Truth? And how few be there in the world, that embody not with some Sect or Faction, for the promoting of their Opinions? And how few that do not over-vilify and wrong those from whom they differ? And Bunyan's last preachings give me hope that he repented of his Errors; for he Zealously preached but the common acknowledged doctrine of Christ's readiness to receive and pardon converted sinners.

Ortho. But unholy Doctrine will not make men holy, nor consist therewith.

Reconcil. 1. It is Holy Doctrine, practically received, that maketh them Holy; and that which is Unholy, is received but notionally, and so prevaileth not against the power of truth. No doubt but false unholy Doctrine greatly tendeth to unholiness of heart and life; Therefore let us all do our best to cure it. But it is not the sharpest censures, nor the greatest fierceness, or foulest words, or punishments, that are the right o• wisest way of cure: But t•e clearest explication of the Truth, and the most loving and meek instructing opposers, if God peradventure will give them repentance, to the acknowledging of the Truth.
