“This is far enough for you to go in judging your brother: ‘Were I in his condition, should I do as he does, I should go against my light. I should act against my conscience.’ But therefore to conclude that he goes against his light, and acts dishonorably, is very sinful. Many carnal men think that if they should make such a show of religion, if they should do such things as such and such men do, it would be hypocrisy in them; and they judge truly because their principle would not bear out their practice. But therefore to judge all who do such things to be hypocrites, we account to be a very wicked thing” (Burroughs, Irenicum, pp. 138-139).
