2 Perhaps Withers or someone close to him had been suspected of heretical tendencies.
3 In the old days he had hidden a heretical mind beneath an appearance of conformity.
4 The heretical thought would be unpunished, unrepented, out of their reach for ever.
5 We do not destroy the heretic because he resists us: so long as he resists us we never destroy him.
6 In the old days the heretic walked to the stake still a heretic, proclaiming his heresy, exulting in it.
