Zeno's Union, Anastasius Act of Oblivion,1 Charles his interim, Cassander's advice, were humane policies that sought peace with the loss of truth. Schismatical rigour prejudiceth truth with the breach of Peace. Deservedly abhorred amongst all Christians is the Spirit of that Giant who made all he took even with his Bed, by stretching out them that were shorter, and cutting short such as were longer.

Zanchy commends two Rules for this purpose, the Rule of Faith, and the Rule of Love: The Rule of Faith whereby we may not be wanting to the Truth, and the Rule of Love whereby we may not be wanting to our Brother.
