That it was spoken against was evident enough, but that it was every where spoken against, was more than they could be sure of: They did not know all Places, nor had they correspondence with, or intelligence from every Country; but we must not wonder if those that oppose the Truth as it is in Jesus, make no conscience of transgressing the Laws of Truth in common Conversation. But we will suppose that the Acquaintance and Converse ⟨p. 10⟩of tho•• •ews at Rome lay mostly with those that were Enemies to Christianity, and spoke against it, and they therefore concluded it every where spoken against because they found it spoken against in all places that they […] to, or had advice from.
