And when nothing else will serve the turn, neither Innocency, nor Patience, 1&c. then just Apology, and defence, as we see the Apostle doth here defend himself: For it is not for public persons to dissemble slanders; and especially for them not to suffer ill suspicions to rest in the hearts of ⟨p. 358⟩those that are under them. Therefore the Apostle is enforced through Christian prudence to his Apology, to wipe away the imputation; When I was thus minded, did I use lightness, saith he? This I Observe in general.
