“Many men of moderate spirits, if left alone, yet meeting with men who tell them stories and speak ill of those men that heretofore there had a good opinion of, now, before they have examined what the truth is, let a venom get into their spirits before they are aware. their hearts begin to be hot and rise against those men they hear such things of; their thoughts are altered concerning them; their spirits are alienated; breaches are made; and men who are innocent wonder from whence all comes” (Burroughs, Irenicum, p. 210).
