Reading edition

“... speak to-day of living in obedience, or of doing good works as necessary to eternal life, one half of the world cries out that he is a Papist and an advocate of justification by works. If he preach salvation through Jesus Christ and the redemption of sins, the other half of the world exclaims that he is a Lutheran and a disseminator of false doctrine....”—Ibid. (Letter addressed to a certain “Frère François” who was preaching at Lavaur in the bishop’s absence.)
