Misopinion

First, to convince the world of their misopinion of Gods servants.

He had been of good Fame and Honour in Court, accounted wise, yet he dealt in Witch-craft for revealing the future state of things, though for the general misopinion I find of the Presbyters against Judicial Astronomy, we may conceive him no otherwise liable to their idle censure therein.

When we look upon errors, we are apt, as those that see through a mist, to think them greater than they are: every fault is a crime; every misopinion, a heresy.

Nothing but ignorance is the mother of this misopinion.
