But I hope that it will not come to that. I always intend the people not to believe all the wild sumours to help to spread.

REC 21 AUG 19 Bantin. Rough translation of a pamphlet put up in the market places near.

We have heard that there are not two suns in the sky, and not two Kings to rule over the people. There are also not two doctrines in the World.

2 months ago, in Taipo, they taught me not to lightly believe various rumours. Before the war there, I heard the Chinese were planning something, but I did not believe it.

By this time, I know that there is something to be wisely dealt with, if possible. When such rumours are afloat, I should be searched with kindest charity.

In these troubled times, the heresies are spreading everywhere. And it is not to be wondered at that the doctrine of the Clan is neglected, that humanity and righteousness are slighted and the heresies looked at as the right doctrine.

Bad customs are now thought to be good; we are at a loss what to do; the wicked ways of the Barbarians are that they have not the five social relations, the nine degrees of relationship; a man is allowed to sleep with his sisters. There are no family ties. Brothers-in-law and Sisters-in-law are playing in a licentious way with each other. They are wild owls and wild beasts. Who can say this is a good & righteous doctrine? See what good and righteous is in all this? All is heresy. Earnestly thinking, we must say, nothing is better than the holy doctrine.

Our holy men have fixed the doctrine of the clan not to err to the left or the right. We have our orders and historical records to regulate our way.
