When, after variances, men are brought to an agreement, they are much
subject to this, rather to cover their remaining malices with
superficial verbal forgiveness, than to dislodge them, and free the
heart of them. This is a poor self-deceit. As the philosopher said to
him, who being ashamed that he was espied by him in a tavern in the
outer room, withdrew himself to the inner, he called after him, "That
is not the way out, the more you go that way, you will be the further
in!" So when hatreds are upon admonition not thrown out, but retire
inward to hide themselves, they grow deeper and stronger than before;
and those constrained semblances of reconcilement are but a false
healing, do but skin the wound over, and therefore it usually breaks
forth worse again.
