Synopsis To speak of, write about, and believe in a thing as it is, constitutes truth. He that is prejudiced tries to prove that even his error is truth, while the truth of his religions opponent is error. He cannot, therefore, know what the true religion is. Hence it is the bounden duty of truthful and learned men to unfold this right nature of truth and error before all men in their writings and speeches and then to leave them free to judge what promotes their welfare and what is prejudicial to their interests, and to embrace what is true and reject what is false. This will lead to the happiness of the people at large. Though the human souls posses the capacity for ascertaining truth, yet through self-interest, obstinacy, wrong headedness, ignorance and the like, it is led to renounce truth and incline towards untruth.
