All men will not see alike
It is very possible that many good men now also may entertain peculiar opinions, and some of them may be as singular herein as even Jehonadab was. And it is certain, so long as we know but in part (1 Corinthians 13:12), that all men will not see all things alike. It is an unavoidable consequence of the present weakness and shortness of human understanding that several men will be of several minds, in religion as well as in common life. So it has been from the beginning of the world, and so it will be till the restitution of all things (Acts 3:21).

3. ’Tis very possible, that many good men now also may entertain peculiar opinions: and some of them maybe as singular herein, as even ♦Jehonadab was. And ’tis certain, so long as we know but in part, that all men will not see all things alike. It is an unavoidable consequence of the present weakness and shortness of human understanding, that several men will be of several minds, in religion as well as in common life. So it has been from the beginning of the world, and so it will be till the restitution of all things.
