So, upon this theory, no one who is truly honest in pursuing the highest good of being, ever did or can mistake his duty in any such sense as to commit sin. I have spoken with great plainness, and perhaps with some severity, of the several systems of error, as I cannot but regard them upon the most fundamental and important of subjects; not certainly from any want of love to those who hold them, but from a concern, long cherished and growing upon me, for the honour of truth and for the good of being.
He hablado con gran simplicidad, y quizá con algo de severidad de los diversos sistemas de error, y no puedo considerarlos los temas más importantes y fundamentales, ciertamente no viene cualquier deseo de amar a aquellos que los sostienen, pero viene de una preocupación largamente mantenida y creciente en mí por el honor de la verdad y por el bien de ser.
