For First, Consider, though one saith this thing is so, and the other faith it's quite contrary, yea, but it may be that both sides do report according to their own apprehensions of things, and apprehending things in a different way, having divers principles, both of them may think they are in the Truth, and yet one may contradict the other, because they may speak according to their apprehensions on both sides, for it is very much according to the principles of ones spirit in any thing, especially if a business hath many things depending on it, and there are many circumstances to be laid together, ⟨p. 209⟩then according to mens apprehensions and their principles, •hey will lay things together, so as may best suit their principles; and others will say things together, so as may best suit their principles, and so both of them may think they are in the Truth, and contradict one another, and yet neither of them speak against their consciences: this (possibly I say) may even be among good men.
