§. 44. This rule the ancient Churches followed: and when they suppressed the intolerable heresies, they tolerated the Novatians even in Constantinople: And the worst Bishops were most against their toleration (as Nestorius and such like), and the best dealt gentliest and lovingly with them, and thereby did more for the peace of the Church than the overdoers.
